KESTREL THE HALCYON VIPER
Hello fellow VG enthusiasts,
I have had the pleasure of purchasing and playing with kestrel focusing on Weapon power due to the armor piercing properties. I must say that she is really fun to use. I have tried her in lane, jungle and roam (Only once). I have a WP Build, CP Build, and a Hybrid Build. I will list a build that has been successful to myself.
Please note: Kestrel requires high skillful gameplay and accuracy to aim and fire due to the exploitable window of opportunity to kill enemies. This is to ensure you get the maximum effectiveness from the build. I will also create a guild later however i am excited to post what I have found to work so far. Also Keep in mind this is from the Jungle role perspective
Journey Boots, Shiver steel, Sorrow Blade x2, Tornado Trigger, Tyrants Monocle + infuse with every opportunity for team fights because you never know when these will be handy.
I usually rush
Sorrow Blade first along with
sprint boots and
Oakheart. Then
Tornado trigger along with
tier 2 boots and
Dragonheart. For me I need mobility to move a bit to seize opportunities of taking enemy jungle camps or for retreating to a tactical position. Please keep in mind that my play style is aggressive and I look for windows of opportunity attacking the enemy’s strategy.
Lane kestrel is similar for me but start off with Book of eulogies and 2 potions. You can replace one of the sorrow blade for serpents mask if you need sustenance but at the expense of power in basic attacks.
I appreciate you taking timeout to view the post and I should have created this from day one because i spent hours on kestrel because of the amazing work SEMC did with this new hero.
I must say that everything is situational from you playstyle and habit, knowledge of VG as it relates to the hero's strength, weaknesses and limitations and especially analyzing and counter building items and strategies.
Even though the focus was lane Kestrel, I wanted to list what I have so far so that it can be of some use to people. I would advise to watch the stream of the reveal and listen carefully with an open mind about Kestrel from Playoff Beard. Then make your final analysis after you have experimented with her...
Feel free to comment so that I can update as needed. Thank you for your time viewing and See you in the Halcyon Fold.
