Passive

Your Eminence [P]

Ascension 3

Allies receive 25% less damage from enemies under [Block Damage], [Unkillable], [Veil], [Perfect Veil], or [Stone Skin] buffs.

Each time an enemy receives a buff, is healed, or has their Turn Meter filled, has a 50% chance to decrease the duration of all their buffs by 1 turn. Occurs once per skill and once per target.

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

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

T1Pinpoint AccuracyACC for its debuffs.
T2Charged FocusMore ACC when no skill is on cooldown.
T3Rapid ResponseTurn meter when its buffs expire.
T4Lore of SteelStronger set bonuses (Speed...).
T5Lasting GiftsIts buffs can last a turn longer.
T6Timely InterventionTurn meter when an ally drops low.

T2BlastproofLess AoE damage taken.
T3ResurgentCan shake off a debuff after a big hit.
T4Delay DeathTakes less damage from the same enemy over time.
T5Cycle of RevengeTurn meter when allies are crit.
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.
Polymorph - A deterrent against enemy debuffers - best in the Arena and against ordinary enemies, not bosses.
Faultless Defense - Only works with [Increase DEF] cast by the champion itself, so it is for DEF-buffing protectors.

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.
