Hey everyone in the vainglory community.
Today I am writing this to finally disclose my build in depth.
The main parts that I am going to explain would be how to deal with various heroes with this build.
SAW's weaknesses: Top
To start off you will need to know his weaknesses. This build will state how to tackle them with various items and strategies.
-Mobility
Besides SAW's
Spin Up, he lacks in base mobility. Boots tackle this problem and allow many other possibilites such as escape, chasing and killing damaged enemies and defending turrets better.
-Base damage
Since you are going CP, get
Alternating Current for high damage shots every other attack. There is no other CP item that allows high improvement in dps other that this one.
-Health
SAW lacks in health. Surprised? Check his base stats at level 6-9. A crucible can easily solve this problem with that additional 700health, allowing you to last longer for maximum spin up when fighting enemies. By the way, that
Reflex Block ability of it is damn useful. Block that
Tension Bow, block that
Aftershock, block that last killing blow, it can do wonders if you use it properly.
-Item dependence
Yes indeed, SAW is item dependent. In fact, he is so item dependent that he can determine whether you will lose in vain or win in glory. To easily solve this problem, lane farm. For every group of minions approaching your ally turrets, you can earn a max 175 gold. Just keep farming and you will be on your way to success.
-Range
Of all ranged heroes, SAW has the lowest range. BUT, his second ability should be considered the longest reaching skill. Thus, we will be focusing mainly on this skill for this guide.
Grocery list: Top
Now that we have successfully tackled those weaknesses, it is time to buy items to boost different aspects of SAW.
Damage:
Shatterglass×2
Focus on suppressive fire and roadie run
Health:
Crucible
Boots
Eye of harvest
Block on heavy burst damage
Speed:
Boots
Range:
Use suppressive fire
Recovery:
Eye of harvest
As you can see, this build is an all-rounder. However, you will have to build it accordingly or else everything will go wrong.
Steps:
Buy crystal bit first.
A) Get battery if you have only 300gold farmed.
B) Get battery and +35crystal power if 650gold farmed.
C)Get battery and +65crystal power if 950gold farmed.
D)Get battery and +35 and +65crystal power if 1700gold farmed.
E) Get alternating current if 2300gold farmed
If you pick options A-D, Get alternating current immediately, or at least buy +65CP first if you haven't.
Continue to buy items till you have 2 shatters and one alternating current and one battery. If you feel that you lack a bit health, get oakheart. Get a bit speed if you die because of chasing to often.
Now that you have almost completed your crystal build, time to get your stage two utils. Get dragonheart and tier 2 speed which should give you 650additional health in total. With that, complete your build!
Finally, it is time to reveal other heroes' strengths against this build!
To the whole vainglory community, have a nice day reading this!
