Ability Explanation Top
Get
Blood for Blood first, as it allows for faster jungle clearing. But after that it's all about
Vanguard, as it helps your teammate, speed boost/slow, and have higher crystal damage + barrier(keep this in mind as we will be rushing
Aftershock.
Then things will get a little odd,
Ardan's ultimate,
Gauntlet, is nothing huge in terms of damage dealing, but is it crucial to have as it can definitely set the battlefield in your favour if used correctly. Therefore get it as soon as possible but no need to rush it to LVL 2(up it at LVL 10).
As you can see in the end I op'd for LVL 5
Blood for Blood, instead of LVL 3
Gauntlet, as that 25% extra weapon AND crystal damage you get from LVL 5, is much better compared to the extra 2 seconds of barrier time you get from LVL 3
Gauntlet. Especially when used in pair with LVL 5
Vanguard, that extra 30% Vengeance alongside with
Tornado Trigger will let you activate
Blood for Blood almost every other second.
Item Explanation Top
MAIN:
Journey Boots - Duh. Just make sure to keep up with the opposing team's boots. although with
Ardan it is not as crucial.
Aftershock - A must. that slice damage + lifesteal after Ardan's
Blood for Blood is a killer.
Crucible - Health. With Ardan the more you have the more you heal. Plus that shield of course.
Tornado Trigger - attack speed for that Vengeance to fill up faster, plus that critical percentage for
Blood for Blood.
Tyrant's Monocle - That critical damage and percentage boost...great for Ardan's
Blood for Blood which you will be spamming late game.
OPTIONS:
Sorrowblade - Take this if you are needing more damage on
Blood for Blood.
Shatterglass - Take this if you want higher damage overall on all your abilities.
Fountain of Renewal - Take this if you need heals, or no one else in your team is building this item.
- As you can see I up
Vanguard early for that crystal damage of the
Aftershock I'm rushing. Then towards mid-game I shift to weapon damage to make use of that weapon(crit) and crystal damage that
Blood for Blood have, and up the ability to LVL 5 at the same time. This is on purpose, so that you can be strong on all phrases of the game.
Playing Tips:
- Always
Vanguard your teammate when they are next to enemies, it just does much more, unless you are low on health or needs to run away, then you Vanguard on yourself.
-
Gauntlet Gold Mines or Kraken once you are close to capturing, preferably about 75-80%, to prevent enemies from stealing them.
- Try to
Gauntlet to separate enemies, or aim+time it so that multiple enemies will be stunned as soon as you land it. If possible when separating, try to lock the long-range shooters IN the Gauntlet and the close combat enemies OUTSIDE.
-While engaging in a team fight, charge in by using
Vanguard, to the ally that is next to the enemy, then
Blood for Blood the enemy that your allies are targeting. After that auto-attack/Blood for Blood repeatedly, stay calm and keep your eyes out of who's low on health and being ganged on. Vanguard that person. Finally, Gauntlet those running enemies and make sure they do not escape ;)
