About this Guide Top
This guide is created for players who would like to play a hero who can clear lanes fast while taking hits from the enemy team. Although Vox can do massive amounts of damage with CP or WP builds, his defense and health makes him very squishy. This guide will teach players about the potential tank build that works for Vox. Vox is fun to play, but being caught in a gank can easily lead to death. Note that this build works for any role! This build has flexibility for players who like playing a hero in all roles. TIP: BOOM VOX play style is like guerrilla warfare. This means hit-and-run and lead enemies into your scout traps(Provided passively by Contraption
and actively set by the player)
Early Game ( ~5mins ) Top
Vox is very weak early game with this build. Try to avoid invading the other team's jungle. Focus on farming gold until you reach level 4 to 6. By this time you will have boots and more health. Watch out for Catherine
. Stuns will get you early game. Vox will be able to survive stuns when its close to mid game. Having about 3 Halcyon Potions
in your inventory will be life saving.
Jungle Role - Try to get into the jungle as fast possible. Starting with Ironguard Contract
can be difficult when farming in the jungle. Vox will not be able to gank well due to the fact that he will have low damage.
Support Role - Try to get into the jungle before your jungler. Kite the jungle minions and slowly move to the next jungle spot. Doing this will help clear the jungle faster and you can use the jungle shop quickly. Always get at least two scout traps per trip to the shop. Eventually you will not need scout traps once you have Contraption
.
Lane Role - It will be difficult to farm early game when in lane. Try not to fight until you have farm enough for Stormguard Banner
. Stormguard will improve your farming, but Contraption will be the best item. Vox's B(Pulse), does aoe damage and players will be able to do more aoe damage because of Contraption's passive effect. Contraption does aoe splash damage when attacking minions. Use that aoe damage to your advantage when trying to poke the other team's laner.
Mid Game Top
You should have Contraption
by now. Contraption will be your main damage in mid game. The aoe passive will be useful for clear lanes and you can set scout traps everywhere for vision. The vision isn't the important part for having this item nor is the aoe passive. The most damage that you will do is provided by the scout traps. Try setting scout traps in places that you want to retreat back when players are chasing you. The scout traps will do damage and at that time you can use your B/A ability combo. This is very effective against melee-type heroes. You will also have fountain of renewal
, which will be very useful if your scout traps did not push the enemies off you. You will eventually work into building Clockwork
after completing Contraption and Fountain of Renewal. Clockwork will be an important item mid game to late game. Your abilities' cooldown will drop and you will be able to spam your B/A combos. Every second and every damage counts. Use those guerrilla warfare tactics and play safe. Do not forget to get the weapon infusion
. The extra attack speed and damage will help with the guerrilla warfare tactics.
Late Game Top
You should have Contraption
, Fountain of Renewal
, Clockwork
, Maxed boots
and Alternating Current
(not required for support roles. Some kind of armor item will be good. If the team is CP based then go for Coat of Plates
. If the team is WP based then go for Metal Jacket
or Atlas Pauldron
. Remember to set your scout traps that is provided by Contraption. It is very important to cover the whole map with scout traps. The enemies will be afraid to enter the jungle and you will have clear vision on when they might try to get Kraken. Destroy turrets when you have the chance. The 300 gold will help with finishing your build. Once you have all items, then the extra gold will go into Crystal Infusion
and Weapon Infusion
. You do not need to worry about not having enough for infusions because this build is fairly cheap. You will have about 500-1500 gold to spend after all items are completed. At the end of the match you should have about 120-200 minion kills, but for support roles you should have about 40-70.
