Blessing Recommendations for Marius the Gallant

Blessings can significantly boost the utility of a legendary champion. For Marius, the choice depends on where you plan to use him most. Here are our top blessing choices to use with Marius the Gallant:

Cruelty: Whenever this champion hits an enemy, decreases their DEF until the end of the round. This effect does not stack meaning multiple cruelty blessings will decrease def together but only to the maximum of their awakening rank.

Crushing Rend: Ignores the enemy defence equal to the enemy champion level. Can only ignore once per round up until rank 6 awakening.
