Overview

Kinagashi is an Epic Spirit Support champion from the Shadowkin, built as a buffer, reviver and crowd control. In battle the kit pushes enemies' Turn Meters back, calls allies into a team attack, fills allies' Turn Meters, revives fallen allies and gives allies [Increase DEF].

Where Kinagashi helps

Worked out from the kit: each area lists what helps there (from our mode guides), and these are the matches in this champion's skills. Not a hand-made rating - gear, speed and the team matter more.

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.

Suggested build

A starting point worked out from Kinagashi's own skills - not a hand-tested build. Each line says why it was picked; your gear and team decide the rest. See what stats each champion needs.

PvE

Stat priority

  1. SPD - A support's value is how often it acts.
  2. HP% - To stay alive - a dead support helps no one.
  3. RES - Shrugs off enemy debuffs.

Masteries

The key pick in each tier of the two trees - hover or tap a mastery for the game's own text. How masteries work

Support

  1. T1SteadfastMAX HP.
  2. T2ShieldbearerStronger [Shield] buffs.
  3. T3Rapid ResponseTurn meter when its buffs expire.
  4. T4Lore of SteelStronger set bonuses (Speed...).
  5. T5Lasting GiftsIts buffs can last a turn longer.
  6. T6Timely InterventionTurn meter when an ally drops low.

Defense

  1. T1DefiantRES.
  2. T2BlastproofLess AoE damage taken.
  3. T3ResurgentCan shake off a debuff after a big hit.
  4. T4Delay DeathTakes less damage from the same enemy over time.
  5. T5Cycle of RevengeTurn meter when allies are crit.
  6. T6Fearsome PresenceBetter odds for its crowd control.

Blessings

  • Temporal Chains - Speed control for the whole team: slower enemies act less often, which is why it is a staple for support and control champions.
  • Intimidating Presence - A good fit on a leader whose aura is worth boosting; wasted on a champion that is not leading.
  • Commanding Presence - The simpler aura booster for a leader; useless unless the champion is leading the team.

How blessings work

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.
  • 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.
