Blessings
- Intimidating Presence - A good fit on a leader whose aura is worth boosting; wasted on a champion that is not leading.
- Chainbreaker - Keeps a key champion from being locked down by Stun, Freeze, Fear and similar effects.
- Commanding Presence - The simpler aura booster for a leader; useless unless the champion is leading the team.
Relics
- Journal of Necrotos - Boosts every heal and every turn-meter fill the wearer gives its allies, so the more of those a kit has, the more it gets.
- Harp of Kasbiel - Support skills that do no damage still refill a little turn meter, so buffers and healers act more often.
- 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.
