Suggested build

A starting point worked out from Preserver'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.

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. T1Pinpoint AccuracyACC for its debuffs.
  2. T2Lay On HandsStronger heals.
  3. T3Healing SaviorStronger heals on allies in danger.
  4. T4Lore of SteelStronger set bonuses (Speed...).
  5. T5Master HexerIts debuffs 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.
  • Lightning Cage - Rewards teams that fight buffed enemies and gives any attacker a steady source of extra damage.
  • Brimstone - Damage that scales from the target's MAX HP and punishes enemies for using skills; guaranteed at the top level.

How blessings work

Relics

  • Hoarder's Cauldron - Sometimes ignores some of the target's RES when applying a debuff, so a debuffer lands more of what it casts.
  • 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.

Arena

Stat priority

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