Is That All You've Got? [P]

Ascension 3
Enemies under [Provoke] debuffs deal 50% less damage. Allies deal 20% more damage against enemies under [Provoke] debuffs. If there are multiple Champions on the team with this skill, only one will activate. This skill will not activate on duplicate copies of this Champion, if this particular Champion is dead.

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 Knosson the Bronze Bull'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

  4. C.DMG - How much a crit adds - stack it once C.RATE is near 100%.
  5. HP% - The skills' damage scales from HP.

Gear set combinations
