Learn Eternals

Eternals are the deity blessings introduced in patch 1.14 (they replaced Minor Augments). They can feel cryptic, so here's the plain version: what they are, how the picks work, and a simple "pick this when…" for all 12.

What is an Eternal?

One blessing, three choices

Each Eternal gives a locked Major Blessing (its signature effect) plus 2 Minor Blessings — you pick 1 from each of two slots (3 options each).

Chosen before the match

Set them in the draft / loadout phase. They unlock at level 10 in-game.

Saved per hero & role

Your choice sticks to that hero in that role and can be changed any time.

Pick by kit fit

They're new, so there's no win-rate data yet — choose based on how the effect synergizes with your hero's stats, kit, and role.

How to choose (in 4 steps)

Name your goal. Do you want to dive, tank, burst people down, enable allies, or hyper-scale?

Pick the family (the 6 deity types below) that matches that goal.

Pick the Eternal in that family whose Major fits your damage type and playstyle.

Add 2 Minors that double down on your plan — or patch your biggest weakness.

The 6 families & when to pick each Eternal

Harbingers

Relentless damage

Reward staying on a target — grinding tanks down and bloodthirsty low-HP brawling. Choose when your damage comes from sustained pressure, not one big burst.

Vermis

Auto-Attack / Anti-TankCarry · Jungle

Good minors: Serration + Melting Point

Marrow
