Notes Fortifying Shell- Take it always except if they have someone with wall, block (ex. Yemoja, Ymir, Odin) you take Phantom Shell.
Entangling Wings- CC root
Blighted Ankh- good antiheal relic, stealing heal from the enemy healers (ex. Hel, Terra, Yemoja).
Corrupted Blink Rune- bonus CC to gods looking to engage, overall don't upgrade till the end imo.
Emblem of Increasing Peril- Good for diving, recommended to upgrade it after finishing T3.
Chaotic Beads- only if they have a lot of CC.
