Author's category · 11 items · not useful super often but can be great
1. 1
  Spellbreaker
  Built from Debuff Reducer
  fantastic against very spirit bursty teams like lash and grey talon, especially if their team has a lot of debuffs as well
2. 2
  Indomitable
  Built from Reactive Barrier
  item is VERY strong against certain comps but terrible against others. usually use against very strong, unreactable cc but be weary of other small cc proccing and wasting cd
