Notes and updates... Top
BASIC GAMEPLAY:
This build is dependent on 2 things, patience and gold. If you are solo laning then try to hang back staying in or behind mid-lane. You do want to get hit by the tributes for the
Ironguard Contract gold, but don't push it far and get caught in a trap by a tanking jungler. If you are dual laning then you can be a little more aggressive in order to keep farming the
Ironguard Contract gold and pressuring the lane. If you are holding your ground well I often sink the second skill point into supressing fire as it can give you that little boost you need to kill your counter laner, after all you have the 4
Halcyon Potions to keep you alive. However, if you are up against an enemy that is pushing back well then definitely put that point in
Roadie Run for the quick getaways. This build starts to really own after you get the
Alternating Current built, so just hang in there.
BETA BUILD NOTES:
what I'm playing with as I continue fine tuning the build
CURRENT BUILD GUIDE:
First 5 minutes... Top
Get out early with the starting items and use the
Ironguard Contract to farm some quick cash. The 4
Halcyon Potions should keep you there for a good while. If your team can knock down an enemy or 2 and/or the opportunity presents itself make sure you grab the goldmine after the pie is more than half full. If you find yourself back at a shop go ahead and start building your
Serpent Mask, reload your
Halcyon Potions and get back out there soldier!
Minutes 5-10... Top
You should have your
Serpent Mask or be real close to it by now. Start building an
Eve of Harvest the second half of your life stealing AC/DC powerhouse. I normally go battery first so I can get some recharge power going on. Keep pushing lane, but start being a little cautious. After all, you have a gold mine to protect or gank, and your team needs you alive to take a turret or 2.
Minutes 10-15... Top
Finish up your
Eve of Harvest, strap on some
Travel Boots and start roaming as you wish. Save the boot active for quick getaways and remember not to target Catherine with your
Mad Cannon when she has her shield up! Next on the menu is
Alternating Current so start building it once you have the the above items. You can sell the
Ironguard Contract if you need the room, or the
Halcyon Potions if you have a team that has some health regen capabilities and you want to keep getting gold from the
Ironguard Contract.
Minutes 15-20... Top
Hopefully your team is working well and you have a couple enemy turrets down. If not, don't fret because you are nearing beast mode. Finish up you
Alternating Current and move on to your
Shatterglass if possible. Careful since you are a walking target so try to stay on the edge of the fray when you can and use
Suppressing Fire to cut off fleeing enemies from team skirmishes. The
Shatterglass feeds your
Alternating Current which is converted into health every other hit by the
Eve of Harvest and your
Serpent Mask steals health on top and in between. Try to keep your
Spin Up fully stacked so you can keep soaking up the health while you dish out the damage.
Minutes 20-25... Top
Keep heading towards your
Shatterglass and finish it if you can. Don't be afraid to double dip on your build if you need some armor or shield in tandem, or in some cases hold the
Shatterglass until you get a tier 3 defensive item. Staying alive and in the game is more important than trying to build offensive items quickly. You need the cash to get them anyways.
Minutes 25+... Top
So you've made it this far eh? Finish that
Shatterglass bounce those
Travel Boots to
Journey Boots for the perks and build your choice of 6th item. That item is totally dependent on what is happening in the match so it is hard for me to suggest, hence the range of choices I propose. Anything pretty much works well there since you are able to dip into multiple damage buckets.
