Harima Infographic
How to Build: For Damage builds focus on DEF, Crit Rate, Crit Damage and Speed. For Support builds focus on HP, DEF, and possibly Accuracy depending on the content. It is not recommended to build her with much accuracy for pvp content because of the polymorph blessing. Landing debuffs in pvp could take her out of the fight. Polymorph is the recommended blessing to take on her for pvp content. At higher awakenings you may want to take Ward of the Fallen or Lightening Cage. For a damage build savage or Lethal is the recommended set. For support, Bolster and Stone Skin are probably the best sets to take.
Masteries to Use: A viable setup for masteries is up above in the infographic. For a support build you can also go down the Defense and Support Tree to give her a bit more survivability as well as higher chance to proc the polymorph blessing. The recommended masteries for support builds will be below this section.
Where she Shines: This champion is generally used in arena but can be effectively used in pvp content as well. The Sand Devil, Iron Twins, and Ice Gollum all ignore defense and her passive ability instantly will give your team more survivability. Additionally the Stage 21 boss in the Shadowkin Faction Wars ignores defense and she will be helpful there.

While Harima is a very powerful champion there are some ways to counter her in the arena. Ronda who was a free login chase champion has the ability to place [Block Passive Skills] on her A2. This will allow your team to do damage without worrying about Harima's Passive ability. Additionally, this skill will place [Block Active Skills] after attacking. Neither of the debuffs placed by her skill can be resisted.
Using champions that do not have skills that ignore defense is also a very effective method to use to counter Harima as her passive won't apply to their skills. Champions that have really strong multipliers are able to take her out easily this way if she is not in a support build. Champions like Mountain King, Taras the Fierce, and Turvold are great examples of champions with strong multipliers. You can check the multipliers of any champion on their dedicated page via our FULL CHAMPION TIER LIST.
