Intro to a rapid destroyer Top
Welcome! You have now entered the sacred guide to becoming a SAW with the ability to kill EVERYONE!
We will take a look at building into an deadly item set, areas to keep in check, and finish it off some tips.
SAW is someone to fear. It has arguably the highest damage output,but with very low mobility. But we're going to make a Rapid Fire Tank that hunts you down like a cow.....no.....GOT IT! Like a cheetah runs after a deer for a nice snack!
Start+Basic attack damage Top
Start off with a
Weapon Blade. We need to scare the enemy before they get petrified by what's to come. Then get a
Blazing Salvo to scare them out of their clothes, at which point they realise they're naked and hide in shame.
Spin up is SAW's Hero Perk and what will contribute to his main source of damage. Spin up increases attack speed and 1 armour every time you hit an enemy (including turrets) at the cost of decreased movement speed. If you stop attacking for sometime, those stacks will disappear. Two of your abilities have an affect on this perk.
The first is
Roadie Run. This ability gives SAW a boost of speed while clutching on to a very dangerous knife. This ability will clear all stacks of
Spin Up. This is very useful for quick getaways, especially if you are low on health.
The second ability is
Suppressing Fire. This ability releases a torrent of bullets in a selected direction. Enemies caught in the crossfire will have reduced movement speed, perfect for locking enemies down for you to kill with ease. This ability will give you a full 12 stacks of
Spin Up. A good combination attack is to use
Roadie Run deal some high stun damage, then to finish off your enemy
Suppressing Fire.
These abilities will be used to affect
Spin Up, but remember, your primary damage comes from your Auto-attack damage.
Mining Begins.... Top
And so does your true reign of terror! Build into a
Heavy Steel to kill people faster. As mentioned before, SAW's damage output comes from his auto-attack damage, not his abilities. Because. That, we will only get one ability item later. Then buy
Sprint Boots to chase enemies that are slow, such as Joule.
At around this point, if you are constantly having to recall to regen health, you may consider buying an
Ironguard Contract for some basic regen. However, you will be getting a better item for this later, so only do this if you absolutely need this.
10 minute mark Top
Now is the time to build yourself into that rapid-fire jet tank from before.
After getting all items mentioned in the previous section, we must now build into a
Sorrowblade, so get yourself a ninja star (
Six Sins) and tourn combine a lump of steel and that ninja star into a motherf***ing flaming axe (
Sorrowblade for dim people -_-). Next, get a coin with a bullet through it (
Lucky Strike). Now combine that AK-47 and coin to make a Gatling gun (
Tornado Trigger). It gives much more attack speed, so you can kill people faster. It also has the ability increase crit damage and crit chance. O, but we aren't done yet! Now go buy a pot with green water (
Lifespring) (note: If you bought the
Ironguard Contract, get rid of it now.), it has magical powers which heal you faster than normal. Finally get a clock (
Chronograph). What tank doesn't have a clock? It makes your abilities load faster AND gives faster ability power regen. So there! Call me a genius?
Final build Top
Still not satisfied? Well then! Throw out those
Sprint Boots and trade them instead for sandals with mints on them (
Journey Boots. It makes you go really fast, and it heals you as well AND gives shield and armour. Then turn that brown pot into a silver-green pot (
Fountain of Renewal) it can be used to spontaneously regenerate your health. And it helps your teammates, who run after you for your help anyway. Now turn that clock you had into a pocket watch (
Clockwork). Now your abilities load EVEN FASTER!!!!
Your final item is your choice. I'll put down the items I believe you can have for that last slot and what each will help you with.
1. Sorrowblade
Having an extra sorrowblade will allow you to kill enemies faster with your auto-attack damage. The damage counter will go above 350 at around this point. One shot will rip off the wing of an adagio. You can then take these wings and stick them onto yourself to make you fly. (Note: doesn't actually let you fly)
2. Tornado Trigger
Since this game at the moment doesn't have a restriction on attack speed at the moment, if you like see even more rapid fire, then get this item. It might also have a deciding factor in a 1v1 confrontation, due to its ability to have higher critical damage and higher critical chance!
3. Metal Jacket
If you want to become a bullet/magic/sword/claw proof tank, then get this item! The damage mitigation from auto-attacks from the other enemy will be absolutely ridiculous!
4. Crucible
I highly suggest this item, especially if a Catherine is on the opposing team. Not only will it make you tanky, it has the reflex block buff added to it. It can easily be used to avoid your Spin up stacks to be lost. That just isn't good for anyone. Alternatively, you can get
Aegis instead if you would rather have shield and armour buffs.
5. Frostburn
Due to Mad Cannons recent nerf, you may consider having another crystal item at the end. This will increase the damage output of Mad cannon. I only suggest this, however, for people having trouble with mowing opponents down with just basic attacks. I say this because as previously mentioned, SAW's Main Damage comes from just his basic attack. On a positve note though, this items passive does grant a slowdown for enemies when hit, perfect for finishing them off before they run away like little *******.
6. Shatterglass
Everything above except more crystal damage at the loss of the slowdown.
Areas to look out for! Top
Yes, this section returns again!
Rapid Destroyer SAW was born to destroy everything in his path. And that includes these puny little turrets. As a laner your goal is to destroy these as fast as possible so that when the time comes to unleash the kraken, the enemy will have no defences left.
Your turrets are your only friend they are the only other thing that helps you kill the enemy. Imagine if you had a friend that could of been saved by you from, but instead you didn't do anything to save them and they died. Now you have a reason to defend these turrets
Your team, even if they are puny compared to your might, does still have a high priority to help. If they ask to capture a mine, go and help them. It will make them feel better.
Tanks in real life don't do well in jungles, especially enemy jungles, rather they trek faster in open land. The same works for SAW. Unless absolutely necessary, avoid this area and stick to lane.
If the evil enemy take your friends from you even after you tried your hardest to save them, defend your base at all costs. Kill anyone that enters in there. And I mean tear them limb from limb then shove it in your machine gun and the use their limbs as bullet.
Top 3 Threats Top
Welcome to the TOP 3 THREATS FOR SAW. It's pretty simple what the premise is. BEGIN!

1.This fox....cat...thing.....(Zyronl Refrence!) is extremely slippery and hard to lose, as his abilities are very good at chasing. If low on health the other Taka is on full, you may wanna avoid it. Update: I have decided to dock TAKA down by one threat. Since he is new champion, not many people know how to use him well. So this high threat level is only for EXPERIENCED PLAYERS! Newbies(sorry new guys) aren't as good as using Taka unlike them pros, who literally juke everywhere. I think there should be some rap here. INSERT RAP HERE

All of the above except a little less dangerous |

2.Koshka's chasing abilities isn't as annoying, but she is still very dangerous if she catches you off guard"

.....Caution...... |

3.A tank vs tank battle is never pretty. So if both tanks are in their prime, you must find ways to mess them up"
Conclusion Top
Congratulations! You are the most deadly thing on the battlefield. Enemies will piss themselves the moment they see you on the loading screen. Use that fear to your advantage!
Now for some ****py tips:
-A good way to escape is to use roadie run to get away quickly, and if they are still chasing you, use your boots to make a final dash.
-Farming is essential for this build, as it is quite an expensive build. (It's kind of a recurring theme in my guides now....).
- Help teammates if they need help. No questions asked.
- In order to keep your stacks early game while avoiding enemy, you may consider attacking minions while evading. This way, your stacks last longer, and if you end up in a close confrontation, you have a higher chance of getting a kill.
- Catherine's
Stormguard is very annoying for SAW, as his high damage output means that his damage will be constantly reflected. Try to attack when Stormguard is down.
This build does work! Here are some results I got from using this build
And just to prove I didn't use any other build.
And abou that KD ratio.....heh heh...... NO LOOKIE!!!!
Yay, ****py guide over. Got any suggestions or criticism? Leave it in the comments section below!
