SAW Saw vs Saw = Saw^2? no no... oh yes may the skilled one win!
2
Ringo REALLY REALLY easy to kill. As long as he has no teamamates with him, supress away and roadie run for ultimate destruction
3
Adagio At beginning he is not the difficult to handle. in late game though his ult can stun you while roadie running so be careful around him
3
Joule Very Very funny nowadays... However your low mobility can land you in trouble. get it, LAND you in trouble hahaha...ok sorry about the lame pun and watch out for her ult and leap
3
Petal Oh God you! YOU!!! HAHAHAHAH!!!! so funny! as long as she isnt near her seeds, your suppressing fire lifesteal can easily heal you from her attacks. Her ult is damaging though
3
Skaarf Super easy to kill as hes real squishy.Only his ult and goop can harm you bad
3
Vox his mobility is a major threat. Unless played correctly hes stupid. With your lifesteal he can easily be killed
4
Ardan Mostly support and ridiculous in early game. He is slippery though
4
Taka Suprising fellow he is. really loves killing people. As long as you can mad cannon or suppressing fire him hes doomed
5
Celeste Her attacks make use of your low speed. try to avoid her stars especially as they deal a lot of damage
5
Glaive Not that dangerous. However in right hands he's a murderer. Stay away from him and make sure you are out of reach from his bloodsong
5
Koshka She is really slippery. Her stuns are really bad by the way. one time she stunned before i could ult her face into the ground.Great ally though
6
Catherine She is usually squishy early game. but in late game she can tank out a lot. Be wary and dont attack her when her shield is on
7
Krul Be careful...i have experience with and against him.His spectral smite can easily destroy you. Be far away from him and make sure he doesnt get stacks on you

Introduction to...ME!!!...Oh and Saw too Top

My name is VinnieSenju (Region SEA add me if u want) and I main Krul, Ringo. I play Adagio too betimes. One time i decided to check out Saw. There were a lot of builds in VGF. But i wanted to shank and use my ult a bit more often. So i made the following build

Lemme remind the Layout

1)Clockwork 2) Clockwork 3)Clockwork 4) Eve Of Harvest 5) Journey Boots and 6)Shatterglass


so this may seem ridiculous.. But it allows you to use your abilities unbelievably fast. It gives you more energy than Vox for god's sake.

So...over to Arnold Sh- Sorry Saw. He is probably Arnold with all those muscles. He is a high attack speed hero with low mobility being his sacrifice. Most people go for weapon power. But when you get your abilities properly strong you can destroy everybody and get your own file in Interpol. I mean Saw is designed to be Mafiya man!

Shank explanation

Inventory Top

Clockwork is an everybody's item and can be used on everybody. Its one of my personal favs. Whenever i forget an item in the build i get Clockwork :P. So everybody knows about Saw's shank. And everybody loves it.
So in three clockworks its cooldown its reduced to 5-8 secs. in level 4 that is. Also the energy and energy regen can really help you in tight situations. Even his ult can be used once more before it ends.Suppressing fire is reduced to 5 secs on L5. The crazy lifesteal on it helps you out a lot.When you get one clockwork, use roadie run for an extra boost while getting off spawn point.Always use Roadie Run to move around after getting 3 clockworks as you regen energy extremely fast


If Def items are needed in your game or you cant farm properly, replace a clockwork with a warhorn or a def item. The new warhorn item allows you to get money while your friends may take the last hits.

About the Journey boots, why to not max it earlier. Top

Journey Boots is allegedly the most universal item in anybody's build. It is used by every hero. and heroine :P. But in my build I don't max it till the end after all the other items. if you'd like to know why let me tell you. Here are three links:


Sprint Boots Travel Boots Journey Boots



Read them carefully and you'll see that after travel boots, journey boots DON'T GIVE EXTRA MOVESPEED. If you have read other builds many would have written this. I advise the same to you.So get Journey Boots finally after maxing everything else.

Weapon(CRIT) Explanation

THE INVENTORY Top

So our wp build has

SORROWBLADE: For the high attack damage to build up and give us lifesteal we get 2 sorrowblades

SERPENT MASK: For DEM LIFESTEAL TO GO MLG PRO

TYRANTS MONOCLE: Since saw needs glasses. He has a visual problem on locating critical places such as the enemy's butt.

DEM BOOTS: SANIC!!! GATTA GO FAST!!!

Choosing your def item Top

Crucible : Needed when fighting against catherine so she doesnt earthquake our face and her reflections are not that damaging. Plus it make us tankier and improves teamwork when used properly.

Metal Jacket: Reduces damage from autoattacks. Get one when the enemy team has mostly WP damage.

Aegis: Get it when enemy team mostly builds crystal or if there is a Taka or Koshka on enemy team.

Atlas Pauldron: Best for countering attack speed. That is yourself , Tornado Trigger, Bonesaw ,Alternating Current etc

Choosing an offensive item Top

For best criticals get

TYRANTS MONOCLE

For attackspeed and critical get

TORNADO TRIGGER

For lasting longer/ More lifesteal get

SERPENTS MASK

For best guranteed damage get

SORROWBLADE

For chasing fast as hell enemies get

FROSTBURN


And for lowering cooldown+regen energy faster get

CLOCKWORK

Top

AC OP build explanation

Inventory Top

EVE OF HARVEST This must be your first tier 3. When you come back or visit the jungle shop for buying items get sprint boots first as it really helps in increasing your movespeed

ALTERNATING CURRENT This is your second tier 3. After this comes your def item. Along the way get travel boots

SHATTERGLASS After def item get two of these. These are your OP destructo tear drops

DEF ITEM Choose Crucible for health and block, Aegis for crystal burst, Metal Jacket for weapon power and Atlas pauldron against attack speed (Especially against another saw)

So After all my Rambling...THE END(Finally!!! Guide Building is so HARD!!) Top

That's it guys...and gals. A few final tips




1)Travel boots are really important for neutralizing your Spin up. Try to get them early on

2)When you want to get away but have medium-low health, roadie run an enemy hero or minion so that you will roll in the opposite direction or into your turrets. If you are low on health, Roadie Run without attacking and get outta there

3)Try suppressing fire before basic attacking or using your ult.



Thanks for reading my guide!!!
