The damage inflicted by this Champion increases by 10% for each active buff on allies placed by this Champion.

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

  • Chainbreaker - Keeps a key champion from being locked down by Stun, Freeze, Fear and similar effects.
  • Polymorph - A deterrent against enemy debuffers - best in the Arena and against ordinary enemies, not bosses.
  • 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.

How blessings work

Relics

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Tempus Morbidia - Enemy turn-meter reduction and steals work less well on the wearer - useful where a slow support is easy prey.
