Introduction Top
Hello,welcome to my build,I am a player in the southeast asia region,my username in vainglory is theangel.I am starting a new campaign,or project,or whatever you call it.Through this project,i hope to inspire other players across the globe to go off the meta,and do different builds for heroes[like turning tanks like catherine or fortress into assassin].So,to kick off the project,I have decided to upload this build.Warning:even though I have tested this build,i suggest playing a few rounds with bots if you feel this build is not effective enough.Also this build requires basic knowledge of kiting,and last hitting,and is more suitable for professionals of skill tier 6 and above.
Why this build? Top
Well,skaarf abilities and heroic perk[excluding ultimate] work well with a weapon build.his perk gives him bonus damage when his opponents are on fire,and stacks with each basic attack[works well with high attack speed] while goop makes kiting easier,and goop on fire means more damage when enemies approach you through the goop.Even though his ultimate does lesser damage,it is useful for intimidating enemies,causing them to flee,slowing them down at the beginning to allow allies to escape quickly.
Where to go Top
it will be nice to go to the lane[unless you your farm accuracy is lower than 65%,it will be hard to last hit]However,jungle is fine too.
If you are at lane,do not forget to last hit,stay near your turret,and use tactics to scare your opponent into returning to base,or staying near their turret,try to go to the shop only when you have about $2000[hopefully by 5 mins]If you get ambushed or you are planning to ambush your opponent,use goop to slow opponents down.
if you are at jungle,avoid invading the opponents jungle as this build isn't very good at early game.
At rare occasions,when you really break the meta and become support,you can do so by getting defense items first.
Why items are chosen? Top
If you were wondering,i will answer your questions about this;].
Shiversteel and frostburn[optional]make kiting easier,and helps chase feeling enemies,frostburn gives your abilities a small punch too,and shiver steel makes you last longer.
Serpent mask and fountain of renewal[optional] heals you in battle,fountain of renewal makes you more sturdy,while serpent mask gives you more damage
Tyrants monocle[optional] and sorrow blade and tension bow[optional] gives you more damage,tension bow gives you burst damage on first hit.
[both optional]bonesaw and breaking point increases damage,bonesaw increases allies damage too,happens in a shorter time,but unlike breaking point,deals less max damage.I recommend bonesaw for opponents with armor for a bigger boost,and breaking point for hardcore snipers[tier 8 and above]
Tornado trigger increases attack speed and a small chance of critical hits
crucible to protect from stuns
and boots to kite,run,chase..
Battle Top
This build is more suitable for kiting,stick with a support with a stun or slow and kite anyone who gets close,let your allies soak damage for you,activate abilities when necessary.
If you aren't a good kiter,get more defensive items,if you need to replace the base items with defines feel free to do so.
Watch out for assassins and initiators targeting you and stay away from them.
This build can't one v one the kraken[sorry] but I'm working on it:)
however,with at least three to two max items[not boots] you could get the gold mine yourself[though allies helping would be nice]

I hope you don't mind letting players do weird builds like this,last time I checked,heroes like petal and adagio had their attack speed lowered because people were using weapon builds for them.Other than that keep up the great work on the game,can't wait for the next update:)
The end Top
Well this is it,thank you for reading my build,if you are not happy with what you read,or feel the need for things to change,just state them in the comments,sorry if this is not what you want.And i hope you did not get offended if i said your rank and skill is not good enough for this build.For newbies,you guys could go search on things like "how to kite" on youtube,there are plenty of tutorials from other players,good luck.
Oh and before i say goodbye,I am looking for two players,who are as crazy as me when it comes to builds,and is fine with a teammate who is absolutely nuts and will suggest "lane catherine".I hope that with this two teammates,we could sign up for competitions,and change the mindsets of moba players forever:that every hero is capable of almost every role[tank,sniper],I don't plan to be the leader of this team however,if you have at least reached tier 8
at one point of your life,comment down below to join me on an epic journey:)
If this build gets a good rating,i will definitely add another build the next month,and i intend to add one every season.
Bye,and enjoy the game,vainglorians.:)
