The sustained-fight answer to magic DPS, stacking magic defense over the course of a fight.

Stats

HP: +962; 1820
Magic DEF: +40; 48

Each bar is scaled against the highest value of that stat on any item in the game — the faint number at the end of the track is that maximum.

Passives and actives

Unique PassiveHoly Blessing
Taking Magic Damage grants 5(+1*Hero Level) Magic Defense for 5 seconds, up to 6 stacks ( can only gain 1 stack(s) every 0.4 seconds).

When to build it

Counters sustained/DPS magic damage (mage marksmen, magic basic-attackers, extended poke) by stacking Magic Defense per hit taken, reaching all 6 stacks in about 2 seconds (1 stack per 0.4s) — the slow-burn counterpart to Athena's Shield's instant burst block. Buy when the threat is a long fight against magic damage, not a single burst.
