Joule Hit her sides
3
Celeste U can probably 3 shot her late game
3
Skaarf Celeste without a stun but with an ultimate that u should stun.
3
Kestrel If u keep hitting her she can't use her B. And without that she's pretty much a single target Celeste with no stun
3
Petal Afterburn into a wall, kill her fast. She's good early game and can kite u pretty easily.
4
Adagio Build a reflex and focus him he's not tough to kill 1v1 when u have some damage built up.
4
Alpha Haven't seen her a lot. Can't really tell u much about her
4
Phinn U should be able to get to the shop earlier than him. Get some items before he does and please invade if you do.
4
SAW Gank him. Don't let him take too many turrets early.
4
Taka You can kill him without a ton of trouble
4
Koshka Glaive is kinda like jungle assassin kryptonite tbh.
5
Ardan He's good as an ally, annoying as an opponent. He's good at giving second chances to mages who get afterburnt into a wall.
5
Ozo Haven't seen him much this update will update when I do
5
Glaive 50/50 matchup. I'm not sure you can have a good matchup against urself...

Catherine Stuns and silences can be annoying if u want to jump a Mage or something
6
Vox Annoying kiter
6
Ringo Same as box, get him into a wall and kill him fast
7

7

8
Reim He's good against melees with a burst build
8
Skye She's good at kiting and is very irritating to play
9
Krul He does well against burst glaive builds. Annoying little mofo. You can probably kill him early game very easily however so invade.

Joule She sucks. Hit her till she dies. Just make sure u hit her on the sides
3
Celeste Afterburn her into a wall and kill
3
Skaarf Celeste with a more threatening ultimate which you can stun and no stun homself
4
Adagio You should be able to afterburn into a wall and quickly kill carry adagios
4
Kestrel Same as adagio. Keep hitting her and she can't even use her b.
4
Phinn Free stacks
4
Taka Hit him twice for max stacks and a 100 gold kill bounty. Legit just stick near your ally and taka will show up to kill.
5
Ozo Haven't played much against Ozo this patch so idk
5
Alpha Same as ozo
5
SAW Don't let him take esrly turrets
5
Koshka If you reflex her late game stun then u win.
6
Lance Solid at saving allies, which is bad for you
6
Catherine Good at saving allies, which is bad because u want to kill her allies
6
Ardan Vanguard gives his allies a second chance, gauntlet forces you to go through a stun and large amount of damage
6
Fortress Dangerous early, but he's remarkably squishy late game
6
Petal Good early, not so gr8 late. Afterburn into a wall and hit her till she stops moving. Possibly purchase a Shiversteel.
6
Reim He's still good against melees, but if u can stack on his squishy carry he can't take ur swings
6
Rona Same as riem
7
Ringo He's good at kiting, so you may need to purchase a Shiversteel as well as use your afterburn into a wall and kill technique
7
Vox Same as ringo
8
Skye You may need a Shiversteel, she's annoying with her kiting abilities

Introduction Top

I made PoA this season playing 3 different carries. Glaive, taka, and Rona. Though all three have viable cp paths, I prefer to play tankier heroes, so I go weapon on all of them. I play glaive and Rona in both the lane and the jungle, but I haven't laned with taka yet so it's jungle only for him. All three are fun heroes to play because they can be really bursty and really tanky depending on how you build them. They are also good early game so you don't have to be worried about invades. All three are also very simple for a beginner to play as long as he can stutterstep.

Glaive Top

His builds are good early and midgame. Depending on the build he can be tanky or bursty. He might get banned tho...

Tension burstmaster Glaive. Top

This build is excellent against teams withou much defense.'it's powerful in the early- midgame and you should try to get a big lead early to midgame or you won't be good late game.

The primary strategy is to afterburn a carry with no defense into a wall or into your team and spam abilities and auto attacks on said carry till they die.

Build order Top

Start with a weapon blade. When you first go to shop, get another weapon blade and get a tier 1 defense countering the other carry in the jungle with you. (If you think he's building weapon items get a armor, if he's building cp items get a light shield ). There are some exeptions to this rule: always get shield vs krul. Then invade him repeatedly and steal all his jungle farm. Next time u shop, get a swift shooter. Then get boots. Then get another defense countering which person on the other team is doing the most damage. Then get a six sins. Then get a piercing spear. Then get a tension bow. Once you get the tension bow, you are incredibly strong. If u have gold, get an infusion and wait for the other team to show up. The second they get into range, activate your infusion and kill them. With the other team dead, take a gold mine or a turret or their farm. Keep doing this. Your next buy should be a blazing salvo upgrade.now get a heavy steel and a journey boots. Now get a sorrowbalde. If ur having trouble surviving, just get a heavy steel and upgrade ur defenses to counter whoever is doing the most damage on the other team and then get sorrowblade. If you are having trouble staying next to a carry to kill him, get a Shiversteel and activate it before hitting him. Now just spam infusions and work towards more defense or a tornado trigger depending on whether u need more survivability or more damage. You should win against squishy opponents because u can burst people down fast af

Sustain glaive Top

This build is for when the other team has one carry who is tanky. It's good all portions of the game and has balanced burst and sustain.

You can do many different things in fights. You can stay near your carry and attack people who go for him, afterburnig ppl away if need be. You can also dive the other carry, after burning into a wall and kill in him.

Build order for sustain glaive Top

Start with a wp blade. When u first get to shop, get a wp blade and a tier 1 defense to counter the other jungler. Go for the invade and try to get his back camps. When u get back, get boots and a swift shooter. Now go for a heavy steel and some more defense to counterbuild whoever is doing the most damage. Now get a six sins.

You have a choice here. Either go and upgrade one of your defenses to a tier three defense like fountain or get a sorrowblade first. Then get the defense after sorrow if u really want the damage. If u really feel as if you don't want defense, then skip it for now :(

Now get a journey boots, and then a breaking point. Yes. Rush a breaking point using the swift shooter you already have.

Then get some crit items like a minion foot. Upgrade it to a monocle. At this point u have completed all ur offense. You can get a Shiversteel if need be, but I would highly recommend defense. Boots should be your last upgrade

Top

I will add taka and Rona later on. I would love some feedback on this guide. Thanks :)
