Legendary

Support
Knight Revenant

Karilon the Ringer earns a 4.1/5.0 rating because he offers unparalleled utility in Hydra and high-level Arena, two of the most important endgame modes. His ability to passively apply Hex and Provoke provides a level of 'set and forget' control that few other supports can match. The score is boosted by his Void affinity, meaning he has no weak hits and can land his crucial debuffs against any team. However, the rating is held back from a perfect 5.0 due to his heavy reliance on Legendary Tomes and his vulnerability to the current lockout meta dominated by champions like Armanz and Yumeko. Comp
