TIME BOMBTWISTED TIMEFLOWTIME WARPCHRONOSHIFT
Once a powerful Icathian mage, Zilean became obsessed with the passage of time after witnessing his homeland's destruction by the Void. Unable to spare even a minute to grieve the catastrophic loss, he called upon ancient temporal magic to divine all possible outcomes. Having become functionally immortal, Zilean now drifts through the past, present, and future, bending and warping the flow of time around him, always searching for that elusive moment that will turn back the clock and undo Icathia's destruction.

Support Item Build & Spells
TIPS: Start your build with 
Relic Shield (Kill minions to earn bonus gold). Next, you should pay attention to whether your mobility champion is enough, our further actions will depend on this. If it is hard for you to dodge the enemy's skills or you want to roam on neighboring lines, then it is better to buy 
Boots of Speed at an early stage.
SUMMONER SPELLS
Restore 110 Health (110–400 
) to you and the most wounded nearby ally champion, and grants both of you 30% bonus Movement Speed for 2 second(s).Healing is halved for champions recently affected by Heal.

START
Kill minions to earn bonus gold
+125 Max HealthThis item is for support players. When equipped, it will reduce the gold you receive from killing minions and monsters. If there are multiples of this item within the party, only one of them can take effect at any given time.
Tribute: Gain 1 encircling energy orb(s) every 30 seconds (max 3 orbs). While near an ally, the actions below will trigger Tribute, consuming 1 energy orb(s) to grant you 65 gold and restore your Health 20-80:
1. Using abilities or attacks to damage enemy champions or structures.
2. Attacking minions below 65% Health. This also executes them, and the gold generated from the minion kills is given to the ally nearest to you. 3. A nearby minion is killed while you have 3 orbs. Upon triggering Tribute, the ally nearest to you gains Tribute stacks.
Sentry: Deal 1 more damage to Sight Wards revealed by Sweeping Lens, Control Ward, and Scryer’s Bloom.
Restraint: You do not earn gold generated from minion kills, but you earn gold equal to 50% of the bounty. The gold generated from your minion kills will be given to the ally nearest to you. Gold earned from monster kills is reduced by 50%.
Quest: After earning 750 gold, this item upgrades into Bulwark of the Mountain and binds you and the ally with the most Tribute stacks as Perfect Partners.

0Bulwark of the Mountain TIPS: This item is designed for support players and grants passive gold income every 60 seconds along with Soulforce stacks that boost your health, attack damage, or ability power. At 10 stacks, you gain a significant adaptive stat bonus. While it reduces gold from killing minions and monsters, it accelerates your team’s economic pace. An additional effect deals extra damage to revealed Sight Wards, making it easier to clear vision and maintain map control.
Reduces ability cooldowns
+50% Mana Regen +15 Ability Haste
+45 Move SpeedSummoned: Reduces spell cooldowns by 15%.
1000Ionian Boots of Lucidity TIPS: These boots are designed for champions who rely on casting abilities as often as possible. They provide mana regeneration, Ability Haste, and further reduce the cooldown of Summoner Spells, allowing you to use key abilities more frequently while bringing back Flash, Smite, Ignite, and other Summoner Spells faster. They are an excellent choice for mages, supports, fighters, and any champion who benefits from maximizing ability uptime.
Abilities grant healing effects +200 Max Health
+40 Ability Power +50% Mana Regen +20 Ability HasteHarmonic Echo: When you heal or shield an allied champion, the effect links to the nearest allied champion within range with the lowest percentage Health, excluding yourself, and grants them 30% of that heal or 35% of that shield. If no other allied champion is in range, the original target instead receives that same extra heal or shield.
2500Harmonic Echo TIPS: This item greatly enhances your healing and shielding capabilities. Moving and casting abilities builds Harmony, empowering your next heal or shield with additional healing, while allies at low health receive an even stronger recovery. It is an excellent choice for enchanter supports who focus on keeping their team alive and saving allies during critical moments.BOOTS

This effect can only be triggered once every 4 seconds per ability.
2000Crimson Lucidity TIPS: These boots are ideal for champions who rely on casting abilities as often as possible. They greatly reduce the cooldown of both abilities and Summoner Spells while granting bonus movement speed whenever you heal or shield allies, cast spells, or damage enemies with abilities. They are an excellent choice for mages, supports, and fighters who value high mobility and maximum ability uptime.TIPS: Finally, for your items, you should build Bulwark of the Mountain (Kill minions to earn bonus gold) as your first item, followed by Ionian Boots of Lucidity (Reduces ability cooldowns) (sometimes it will still be better to build a boot as the first item, which significantly increases the mobility of your champion) the third key element in our build is Harmonic Echo (Abilities grant healing effects).
Maybe now it's time to think about upgrading your boot, invest in Crimson Lucidity (Reduces ability cooldown).
The remaining last three items are situational, of course you can use the example builds above. But for a more effective game you will need to pay attention to the situation on the battlefield.
