Whenever an ally that has 2 or more debuffs is attacked, this Champion will absorb 30% of the damage inflicted on that ally.

Skill texts, cooldowns and book upgrades are the game's own. "Damage" is the skill's multiplier (for example 4×ATK = four times this champion's ATK, before the target's DEF) - see how damage works.

Blessings

  • Ward of the Fallen - Damage reduction that grows as the fight turns bad - good on a champion that must survive to keep the team's buffs and heals flowing.
  • Intimidating Presence - A good fit on a leader whose aura is worth boosting; wasted on a champion that is not leading.
  • Iron Will - Helps durable champions that often carry debuffs - against boss debuffs and in the Arena.

How blessings work

Relics

  • Volcardiac Heart - Puts a protective buff on the whole team as the fight opens, which helps most when the first rounds are the dangerous ones.
  • Hand of Uncreation - Makes enemy debuffs, buff removal, turn-meter steals and cooldown increases land less often on the wearer - protects the champion that holds the team together.
  • Diadem of Undeath - Raises the wearer's DEF for each ally it has under its own [Ally Protection], which rewards a champion that shields others.
