Ascension 3

Increases this Champion’s ACC equal to the amount of SPD they have.

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.

Defense

T1DefiantRES.
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.
Lightning Cage - Rewards teams that fight buffed enemies and gives any attacker a steady source of extra damage.
Intimidating Presence - A good fit on a leader whose aura is worth boosting; wasted on a champion that is not leading.

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.
Tempus Sanguinis - Makes the wearer's turn-meter reduction effects stronger, for champions that spend their turns pushing enemies back.
