Best Champions With Cryptbloom

While this item is really niche, granting you heals with takedowns is a great tool later on in the game and can be a great choice for support mages in the Bot Lane, as well as control mages in the Mid Lane. And even though this item has a heal, it is not meant for enchanters, since they can't do that much with the stats the item has got to offer.

Support mages like Seraphine, Brand or Zyra profit from everything the item has to offer and additionally grant your team some heals in teamfights. Orianna or Viktor could also make some use of Cryptbloom as a third or fourth item later on.

Since none of these champs are currently in the meta, the new item is currently struggling to find its place in League of Legends. However, we're certain that Cryptbloom will make its way and for sure deserves its spot in the Rift.
