Where Merouka 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.

Each time this Champion is hit, increases their DEF by 2.5% (stacks up to 20%). Resets each round.

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 Merouka'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. DEF% - The damage scales from DEF - and it keeps the champion alive.
  3. RES - Shrugs off enemy debuffs.
  4. ACC - Optional - only the A1 places [Decrease SPD], so other stats come first.

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. T2Lay On HandsStronger heals.
  3. T3Healing SaviorStronger heals on allies in danger.
  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.
  • Chainbreaker - Keeps a key champion from being locked down by Stun, Freeze, Fear and similar effects.

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.
  • 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.

Arena

Stat priority

  1. SPD - A support's value is how often it acts - and acting first in the Arena.

  4. ACC - Optional - only the A1 places [Decrease SPD], so other stats come first.
