Threat Hero Notes
0
Ardan No idea, haven't played against enough good Ardans
0
Celeste Same here with Celeste, will probably be updated once I figure out their dangers
1
Glaive Catherine makes his life a living hell. She tanks all of his attacks, and delivers to him what he delivers to others.
1
SAW No problem at all, his fast attack is almost always reflected by the bubble,dealing huge damage to those around. And once you have [[Atlas Pauldron]] he won't be able to attack effectively
2
  No Threat
3
Koshka CP Koshka is quite easily denied, the only problem being her ult stunning you.
4
Taka Taka can be dangerous early game with all of his burst damage. He isn't as big of a problem late game.
5
Joule Crystal Joule isn't that big of a problem once you have Aegis and/or Crucible
6
  No Threat
7
Adagio This guys can be a real pain in the butt. He can burn you, which isn't reflected by your bubble, he can strengthen his allies, and his ult can stun you.
7
Catherine A Caterine vs. Catherine probably shouldn't happen, though the other will usually deal more damage, because you've built this one like a tank. And with here stuns and silence, she can be just as big of a danger to you as you are to them.
8
Ringo Ringo ult can be a small problem, especially to fleeing allies.
8
Skaarf Skaarf can be quite a problem, especially in team fights when his fan the flames really add up. His ult making escapes rather hard, he can be a little pest. Eliminate him early in team fights.
9
Petal Petal can be a threat because her minions, sometimes deal too little damage to be reflected by your bubble.
9
Krul Early game Krul's will be a killer, with his spectral smite hitting hard. When you see him I highly recommend running away from him.

Why this build works Top

DUSCLAIMER: Atlas Pauldron works well if you have a bunch of armor from stunning/silencing enemies. If you don't have a bunch of armor, I recommend Metal Jacket.

Warhorn is good early game because it allows you to farm jungle camps faster. This allows you to get more gold, which in turn allows you to get the rest of the build more with quickly. It also allows you and your team mates to get away from ganks more quickly, and allows you to catch up with opponents.

Crucible is great because it makes you a bit more of a team player. Fountain of Renewal also helps, you can protect allies while healing them. As always, Journey Boots should be bought last, because they don't provide any more of a speed buff. Aegis is just for those annoying pesky crystal builds, which can be quite troublesome. Atlas Pauldron as mentioned above works well if you have lots of armor from stunning/silencing enemies. While I don't recommend early game battles, for this build I recommend stunning enemies and leaving. A bit more obvious is try to silence as many enemies as you can when you are initiating a team fight. It will make your team have the advantage, and give you more armor.

Gameplay Top

When you first begin, rush down to the camp near the shop, and place the scout trap close enough to provide vision on them. Then farm your way back up. When you come back down to restart the process, buy what you need. If possible take the jungle camp on the other side of the shop, to gain more gold and starve your enemies. At level 6 you're going to want to go help the laner. You're going to want to stun and silence the enemies so that you and your allies can push the turrets. Once the Kraken has been unleashed, I recommend checking on it every minute or so just to make sure the other team isn't fighting it. If they are fighting it, step in and help kill the other team, and then take the Kraken. At level 12, you are going to be done with about 3/4 of your build, which means you can initiate team fights and take a ton of damage. The only problems are when an enemy has Broken Myth or Breaking Point because those has shield and armor pierce. Bonesaw is also dangerous because it allows the opponent to shred your armor, so if you know an enemy has one, try to get your team to focus on them first.

Situational Items Top

As I said above, Metal Jacket is good if you don't have enough armor. I also recommend Eve of Harvest because then you will regenerate life whenever your bubble is activated. If you are going to have Eve of Harvest I would get rid of Fountain of Renewal because you don't need 2 healing items. And late game you might want to sell the Warhorn for a Shiversteel because the non hero damage isn't as important late game, while slowing down enemies for you allies is a bit more important.

Updates Top

As I play against more Celestes and Ardans, than I will update their threat, I will also be updating this guide if I find a slight modification that causes it to be better. Please leave your thoughts down below, seeing as this is my first guide, I would love to know how I can get better at making them.

Great Allies Top

Adagio is a great ally because of they go CP because then they can heal you, which is great because then it will take a lot longer to take you down

Taka is another good one because he sneak past enemies while you take a bunch of damage from them

Skaarf is also a good one because he is very quirky meaning you can protect him and heal him.

SAW can dish out high damage and whenhe needs to escape you can speed him up, protect him or heal him.

This build has won me many games Top

This build has won me a nice number of games, the only problem being when it is a 3v1, and then your health goes down quickly. This build isn't effective until the Kraken rears his ugly head, and that's when you should start seeing its true power shine. I don't recommend this build for people who aren't good with protectors yet, because it requires you to focus on your teammates a lot, and if you've just started using protectors, than you should be focusing on getting good with them first.
