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.
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.
