(for example 4×ATK = four times this champion's ATK, before the target's DEF) - see

Blessings
Chainbreaker- Keeps a key champion from being locked down by Stun, Freeze, Fear and similar effects.
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.
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.
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.
