The Sisters of the Thorn are renowned as the handmaidens of Ariel, the life-giving Queen of Athel Loren, but there are those among them who court darker, malevolent powers. Reborn into their mystical ranks, Kerillian engages in battle with spell-craft and javelins, drawing upon nature’s splendour to invigorate and protect her allies.

Notes

• For her A Sustenance of Leechlings passive, the effect works if Kerillian's teammates are at full health with green permanent HP and/or temporary HP. This can make Kerillian incredibly hard to kill with teammates who can generate lots of THP quickly like Victor's Zealot career and Markus's Mercenary career.
• Previously, the buff provided by Radiant Inheritance increased Movement Speed by 30%, Attack Speed by 20%, Power Level by 50%, Critical Strike Chance by 20%, and Critical Strike Power by 40%. Changed in 4.4.0.2. update to current values.
