Basic introduction Top
Crystal vox,generally casted aside as one of the weaker carries in the game due to having very little single target damage.This however can be neglected with the help of aftershock.My name is iCup0XD(POA).This is the hyper carry mage/sniper vox CrystalPower build.
Of note this guide is focused on higher elo of plays(hotness and above).Certain playstyle mentioned might not be suitable for lower rank players.Adjust your build accordingly to suit your rank or playstyle
Side note:a similar guide has been done before by myself.This is a more skill intensive build and this guide is crafted after much more extensive play time with vox.
Overview Top
Crystal vox is generally a mage like character,able to stay away from threats while dealing huge chunks of damage.However,the downside is that there is no damage to single target.This includes objectives like kraken and gold mine and the first target in a team fight(eg an assassin focusing you).However,hqving aftershock would partially negate that downside,not perfect,but workable.This would make cp vox become a semi sniper/mage hybrid.Targets focusing you would generally have a hard time to take you down due to aftershock healing and burst damage.If a target is diving onto you,be sure to kite to your team and not just backwards.Confuse the enemy by moving in every direction possible.With vox having such high mobility and te ability to dash/dodge,could mean the difference between life and death.
So now,what does this build bring to the table?
This build incorprates the power of a sniper(consistency) and mage(ranged damage),combined you would have a consistent mage ,similar to that of adagio.And breaking down vox heroic perk<Basic attqck also deals 20+90%crystal ratio and additional 120 bounce damage when pulse is overdriven to secondary target>.This makes vox technically able to basic attack 3 heroes at once.With this build this is emphasised,having around the damage equivalant to 2.75 of a normal hero when used to maximum effect.This would likely not be accomplished with other cp vox builds with aftershock not being built.Shatterglass also helps with damage from alternating current,dealing up to 300(max broken myth stacks)raw damage(no shield or armor)when attacks spark its passive.Any melee hero diving onto you will have a hard time with proper kiting,which is where most of the skill is required.
So basically,vox has abojt enough damage to deal with a single target when using aftershock properly(20%max health with broken myth included to boost as damage)and decent chunks of consistent damage from alternating current with shatterglass incorporated.And beig a mage with high aoe damage output.He is stil not powrrful in taking down objectives,however,as aftershock is not as consistent.Ensure to play cp vox LIKE a cp vox and dont all rambo thinking nothing is unachivable.
Kiting,stutter stepping,mobility moves Top
This is the most important part of vox,being able to move around the battlefield quickly with help of his base mobility and dash.The dash may seem little,however,dont underestimate its potential as both a dodging move and its 4 basic attack burst.
Mobility is key to vox's survival.Now,kiting might not seem powerful.But is so strong against skill shot heroes or hard focus carries.It is important to stay with your team and trust them when cu
aught getting focused.Kite towards your team(as a mage or cp vox especially),it gives youe team a possibilty of protecting
you.if one is to only kite backwards there is no way he will survive against a single target focuing carry like assasins.Boots are also important.Use them when gettong focused hardcore to immediately gtfo.Dont hesitate.And another part about kiting s to survive.Do what you need to survive,even as to spam the dash to get aftershock heals(heals about a tick of foutain of renewal everytime).Ensure to do as much damage as possible too.
Playstyle of hero and conclusion Top
Now,it is important to play aggresively with this build.Know whem to fight properly.Your damage is ensured only if one gets the resonanace bounces off and survivng .Having a forward momentum is always important for any team,ensure you HAVE that mamentum as it will force the other team to back off a lot.Aftershock will ensure the death of the frontlining target(eg roam/supports).The damage is so substantial on this build this would not be a problem.However,always keep in mind this:dont be way too aggresive if here is nothing to get resonance bounces off to.Keep your team infront of you(supports ans jungle) and make sure to play that hyper cary role and deal as much damage as possible.Gey as much resonane bounces off.Thats it!
iCuP0XD,sining off
