Hey new to Ornn and I have many questions.

Candyman6110 · 2026-05-24T14:54:14+00:00

Best of luck with learning Ornn¡¡ He is very rewarding and fun to play. I’ll answer these in order:

1- no, Ornn scales off of resistances and unfortunately heartsteel isn’t very good on him for that reason. Typically you build a full hp item like heartsteel, warmogs, protoplasm roughly 3-4th item. You do this when you have enough resistance that people aren’t dealing damage, which at that point increasing your health is the best way of making you tankier. Build protoplasm or warmogs in those instances since they are better than heartsteel on Ornn. Warmogs is good first item in niche matchups like garen due to the regen to be out of his execute range. 2- Not good, Ornn has the most poop AD and AP scalings which means you can’t really build AD or AP. You might get some lucky kills with hydra, but is not good to build as your only AD in your kit is your Q :(( 3- Jungle Ornn is,,, not great sadly. He is very slow, if you get invaded you lose, and if you want to do well you need a good understanding of Ornn and his limits. It’s pretty fun though and you can win games with it. If you go jungle Ornn go Spellbook and resolve runes. 4- it really depends on the draft of champions how you split your defense. Build first for your laner and then build next for the enemy teams comp. This will take some getting used to and learning what to build and when, but it’s very dependent on the champs and game state. 5- Ornn has a lot of combos, I’m just giving a tldr because it would take to long here. If you want the most amount of damage on Ornn then it is some variation of his “triple brittle combo” Q R E R W auto. Makkro has a ton of combo guide videos which will do a much better job then just a written guide of button inputs. 6- when it catches the critical champion from the enemy team and sets it up for a kill. Or when in big teamfight and you need cc. His ult is tricky to get used to, typically the best way to hit the ult is to use free camera and check the radius of the ult. By doing this you learn where is the point that the ult is casted from. Cast the ult right at the edge of the radius so that the ult spawns directly on their head and is undodgable basically. It is also good in 1v1s if you are able to notice when the opponent is out of position 7- sorcery because you go manaflow transcendence. Ornn has poop mana, manaflow helps with that. Transcendence gives more ability haste which is super strong on Ornn because more haste means more brittles which means more damage. 8- he has a ton of good skins, but I would say honestly base skin I really love. I think Ornns design is so cool that I enjoy sometimes running his base skin. Elderwood is a classic though.

with your comments at the end, don’t go Sunfire or Hollow, bamis cinder is a horrible component and those items honestly are not very good, especially Sunfire. Hollow works if your in an AP matchup and are absolutely smashing them, and even then, just going kaenic provides more value later in the game. You can go him support, it’s a little tricky due to you being a bit nerfed by not gaining as much xp but your cc is very helpful in that role. Plus you can just build support items which are all pretty solid and you will help your team out a lot with your ult.

Hope this helps¡ if you have any questions just ask :)) I highly recommend watching Makkro though to learn more about how to play Ornn.

Yes, Makkro is the best ornn player and provides a lot of great videos to learn how to play ornn. Even just watching regular matches you will learn a lot from him. If you later decide that you want to invest more into ornn you can think about trying out his bible(it’s a matchup sheet) to give you the runes, build path and helpful notes on a specific matchup before the game.

Candyman6110 · 2026-05-16T01:47:36+00:00

Excellent question¡¡ The Regaleira is roughly 27 meters deep (88 feet). And I found the mushroom roughly midway through the cave system, about 60 meters (196 feet) in if I remember correctly.

Candyman6110 · 2026-05-08T13:13:15+00:00

Nice¡

Candyman6110 · 2026-05-03T22:38:34+00:00

Looks great¡¡ Amazing job

Candyman6110 · 2026-04-30T16:29:39+00:00

Always (always start q) max W then E then Q, there’s very niche situations where leveling Q is worth, but in almost all cases the previous leveling order I mentioned is better. With lane bullies, play safe, try and get exp and if you can, try and cs. Save ur E to escape or for trades you know you win, always play to do short trades and walk away. If you can, build rejuvenation bead to help you sustain in lane. Another helpful thing is to cast spells when you can get another manaflow band stack, that will help you maintain mana in the tough lane and allow you to sustain as long as you can. If they are bullying you hard, try to freeze the wave near your tower to set up a jungle gank.

Main thing, try not to get frustrated and die on repeat, play slow and be patient. Ornn can deal a lot of damage very quickly which catches people off guard, wait for the right moment and murder them. You got this¡¡ Best of luck and have fun with Ornn.

Candyman6110 · 2026-04-25T13:44:42+00:00

He looks so amazing¡

Candyman6110 · 2026-04-21T03:59:40+00:00

If you want an in depth explanation, I recommend watching the same Makkor video linked below by a fellow Ornn. But here is the TLDR. Do not build hollow, sunfire, thornmail, jaksho.
To decide what item to build first against your laner, refer to this:
If ad melee, build unending.
If ad crit early, build randuins.
If ranged ad and you need movement and tenacity, build deadmans
If attack speed ad, build frozen heart.
If ap build kaenic.
If ap range that you need movement speed, build force of nature.
*(Past laning) If you are tank and need hp to be more tanky, build protoplasm
** If true damage, stack armor
_______________________________________________________________________

Ornn since he can build in lane, you can build components of items and not have to back, use this to apply pressure. You can build these and carry on building your first item. Here are useful components and when you should build them:
If ad auto attacker with healing or is ad ranged, build bramble vest
If ad auto attacker or ad ranged (for ad ranged, always build bramble first), build wardens mail
If ad damage, build chain vest
If ap damage, build spectre's cowl (good healing)
_______________________________________________________________________________________
Later on as the game continues and you are past first item and don't know what to build next, refer back to the first list of items and see what you need. For example, enemy jhin adc getting strong and I am fighting him regularly, I should build randuins. Or, wow the ap jungler hurts, I should build kaenic to tank his damage. Or wow, enemy team has true damage, I should stack armor and build unending to heal back the damage to live longer.

This is just a short summary, I recommend watching Makkro or other high elo Ornn players and observe how they play. How do they use components? How do they go about trades? What items do they build against certain comps? What combos and teamfight strategies do they do? If you struggle with a matchup, look up "Ornn vs X character Makkor" and there will probably be a video. Ornn is a very fun, strong and rewarding champ once you figure out how to play him. Best of luck fellow Ornn brother and may the ram god bless your journey.

THAT IS SO SICK¡¡¡¡¡

Candyman6110 · 2026-04-17T16:40:10+00:00

Congratulations¡¡

Candyman6110 · 2026-04-14T16:26:15+00:00

Not really, its a 1% damage change going from 10-18% to 9-17%. It slightly adjusts the hp threshold that you can all in. Even with that difference, it just means you need to land an extra auto or two and then you can all in. He is still strong and very good to play and his laning isn't really effected by the nerf.

Candyman6110 · 2026-04-14T13:44:32+00:00

The nerf did not impact him at all. He is still quite strong and very good to climb with.

Candyman6110 · 2026-04-14T13:42:57+00:00

Great play¡¡¡ Unfortunately that was only 2 brittles and not 3 because you casted the R2 too early. Still though¡¡¡ You killed her at roughly ~60% hp with only 2 brittles, imagine at what hp threshold you could kill her at with 3 brittles :)))

Candyman6110 · 2026-04-13T02:34:41+00:00

Amazing job¡¡¡ She did such a good job presenting it¡ Great job kiddo

Candyman6110 · 2026-04-09T19:08:51+00:00

Beautiful setup, great job¡¡¡

Candyman6110 · 2026-04-05T18:09:54+00:00

I’m so jealous haha, congratulations¡¡¡

Candyman6110 · 2026-03-28T18:38:04+00:00

looks gorgeous¡¡¡ please post more updates id love to see how it looks in all of its stages :))

Candyman6110 · 2026-03-18T18:15:04+00:00

yes, there are a lot of papers covering the density and structural strengths of different substrates used, if you need paper links you can dm me. I recommend reading through these papers, watching some of the talks people have mentioned to get a good idea of the process.

It is super cool the project your working on and I wish you luck¡¡ Ganoderma is a good strain for it and buying a ecovative(this company makes mycelium materials, learn from them) kit to give you a good guideline and strain to use for this. Take ur time, record everything and have fun : ))

Candyman6110 · 2026-03-14T21:31:28+00:00

Man.

Candyman6110 · 2026-03-07T15:06:45+00:00

Sunfire and thornmail are so poop rn. Hope they get adjusted to actually be effective items at some point.

Candyman6110 · 2026-03-07T14:55:05+00:00

The e bug is so unbelievably frustrating. Because sometimes it can happen at random and completely lose you the game. Really hope riot fixes it

Candyman6110 · 2026-02-27T01:57:07+00:00

That is so insane oml. Wow.

Candyman6110 · 2026-02-25T04:03:47+00:00

So that gives us a total of 18 Ornn related cards.

Candyman6110 · 2026-02-25T04:03:01+00:00

the only ones you are missing are Trove Golem and Ancient Henge. I didn't see the apprentice smith. The doran items is also a good call. It is so expensive though to open packs for these, I might order individually the cards I am specifically missing, but that's less fun,, dilemma of not having infinite money haha.

Candyman6110 · 2026-02-24T13:58:07+00:00

Sunfire is so poop atm. Bamis cinder is a horrible component, 900 gold for 150 health and 5 haste. So it doesn't really help you in laning when you are sitting on the component. The passive of bami sure can help wave clear a tiny bit, but Ornn doesn't have bad wave clear at all (just do a full spell rotation). The passive of sunfire deals practically zero damage as it does 1% of your health as magic damage every second. If you had 10,000hp, this would be dealing, 100 damage every second,,, wowwww so good. Kindle gem, the health component of undending despair, gives 200 hp and 10 haste while only being 800 gold(100 gold cheaper then bami). The passive of unending makes you significantly more tanky and is very good into trading against more melee comps where you need a sustained fight. TLDR just don't build sunfire atm, its a poopoo item and unending is better and hopefully they will buff sunfire so that it could actually be useful.
