While frost burn is a good item, Gwen already has a slow from buckshot bonanza, a speed boost to finish someone off with skidaddle, and a stun. I think that is enough slows for one sniper :3

I love the CP Boom build, but I am afraid that the CP Slow consumes wayyyyy to much energy and regardless of its use in the jungle, it becomes very frustrating during team fights. I tried it with halcyon chargers, but still consumed too much energy. I agree that AC synergies fairly well, but I think that the frostburn needs to be replaced with an item that has some form of energy recharge (like aftershock or eve). Otherwise, little to no more complaints here :-)

Excellent, well thought out guide. However, I highly suggest you put the very misunderstood Ozo as a hero synergy with Adagio. Even though WP Ozo (or Ozo for that matter) is very rare in the current meta, his heroic perk synergies excellently with Adagio's healing and Ozos ultimate, if properly timed, can plop an enemy into Adagio's Verses of Judgement.

I would like to hear your response to this :-/

Definitely shouldn't be included in lane Lyra! I agree! If you can predict and compensate it's projectile speed late game I still find it viable late game but that's just my opinion. Good response though! Thanks for the comment :-)

Care to comment?

The fact that you blend game-changing mathematics with practical solutions makes this guide one of my favorites. I loved how this guide is overflowing with information but there is one caveat. Why is fountain of renewal not even mentioned once in this guide? It is an incredible item, especially for roam Lyra. This should be used in place of metal jacket (unless situational) because Lyra usually goes towards the middle or back like Adagio (hence the ranged protector) when fighting. Besides,...

Great guide but one minor concern. Having contraption as a late game item and then an optional last item is conflicting.

True but hey that's proof right there you are working hard XD

I love your guide so much! The sheer amount of detail, organization and videos help users further understand this misunderstood hero. Just one thing: Saw is squishy and cute early game? Haha I have a hard time buying that (unless you are Joule or Glaive) and I've seen saw players are usually aggressive in low ELOs and defensive (not crossing dividing line in lane) in high ELOs, but other than that I really enjoy this guide XD. I have also found Lyra to be (probably) better than Ardan for...
