Overview

Pythion is a Legendary Force Support champion from the Lizardmen, built as a buffer, healer and reviver. In battle the kit heals allies, removes debuffs from allies, revives fallen allies, fills allies' Turn Meters and gives allies [Block Debuffs], [Strengthen]. As leader: increases allies' RES in all battles by 60.

Where Pythion 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.

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 Pythion'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. HP% - Heals or shields scale from HP.

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

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.
  2. HP% - Heals or shields scale from HP.
