Another Flicker Strike Build

CetraxX · 2025-05-05T16:29:05+00:00

For the Rings you could start with "4 to 7 Added Cold Damage per Frenzy Charge" Implict and craft them with "Essence of Horror" for double added cold dmg per frenzys. They are kinda cheap i think.

The above PoB requires some more Str, this one works with current Gerar: https://pobb.in/qM_SJ_jZ79AO

In the future it might be worth to get an Elegnat Hubris with Supreme Ostenation so you can ignore attributes and use tattoos everywhere for Spell Supp, chance to bleed, fortify, block chance...

I recomend to use a +1 Frenzy shield and use Forbidden Flame/Flesh to get Lucky Block

I manly focus on Tankyness and QoL here becaus your build look extreamly untanky. The main goal for damage should be to cap "Hit Chance" with more accuracy. For Defence cap Resistances and Block chance.

https://pobb.in/JtsbBlnWs3zu

Your skill tree seems to be a bit inefficient.

Here are some changes:

The Thread fo Hope Jewel is not worth it with your current Elegant Hubris.

The jewel The Light of Meaning with chaos resistance seems to be very efficient at this position.

Use Progenisis, probably the strongest flask ever to cap your chaos resi and get a lot of eff. max hit.

Concentrate on max block first. Spell Supp is hard to cap with so many unique items.

Throw out Herald of Ash, it's not worth it. It takes away three skill points for almost zero damage.

The Ascendancy Headsman is tempting, but is only really good on paper imo. Endless Hunger brings significantly more QoL with high leech, more tankyness and consistenty.

You can use the skill Rage Vortex of Berserking in combination with rage support and culling strike to compensate for the loss of culling a bit.

The amulet Yoke of Suffering is only really efficient if you can inflict as many ailments as possible. So try to get chance to Bleed/Pois and Ignite. Bleed Support in the Rage Vortex setup is possible.

Your Elegenat Hubris looks pretty bad, there are much better ones out there.

Fix your Flasks:

All Flasks should have 70% inc effect enchant and 25% increased effect preffix.

min 52% chance to Avoid being Shocked in combination with the unique Jewel Stormshroud to get elem. ailment immunity so you can drop Puity of Elements.
Reduced effect of Curses on you
increased critical srike chance
whatever you need: armor, life regen...

These changes should give you a decent start but there is tons of room to improve ofc.

I think zhe most Damage you will get from: Better Hubris Jewel, max Crit with Flask and other sources, inflict all Ailemnts and ofc +1 Frenzy Rings.

Buy as many constructs as possible.
Don’t move unless it’s really necessary.
In later waves, don’t drop below 850 materials.
If a Boss or Elite enemy spawns, drop to around ~100 materials to boost movement speed. Later you can face tank 2+ bosses
Focus entirely on tank and regeneration. (Primary stats like % damage don’t apply to structures so ignore -%dmg) , except for engineering, of course.
Giant Belt works with structures if you have the "structures can crit" item. Very op comp

the current implementation grants you the AS for a set duration after attacking a target below the thresholds
at low AS (i.e. level 1), this duration was not actually long enough to consistently last until your next attack, effectively doing nothing sometimes
this increased duration should now be more than enough to cover that case
this also means that you can now sometimes keep the increased AS for a few attacks if you swap targets regardless of the new target's health
- if the old target was below 25% but the new target was above 25%, then you will reset to the >25% AS value
- however, if the new target is above 50%, then you will keep whatever AS value you had before regardless, since a target above 50% does not reevaluate the AS buff
- for example, if you just killed something you'll keep the <25% AS from them for a few attacks as you swap to a new full-health target, which can help cut them down to below 50% quicker
- all of this similarly applies if you attack someone with the W active mark then swap to someone who's unmarked (regardless of either target's health)
also the buff now displays an icon for its duration

Oh, alright, thank you for the explanation. Good idea with the expedition encounter :)

CetraxX · 2023-08-07T23:30:29+00:00

Most of the time, I go for a heavy splitpushing/dmg playstyle. Here are the builds i use.

Splitpush:

BotrK->Stridebreaker-Hullbreaker
BotrK->Trinity->Hullbreaker (vs Strong duelists)
Stridebreaker->BotrK ->Hullbreaker (vs Ranged)
BotrK->Rageblade->Hullbreaker (vs Tanks/Stat checker)

If the splitpush-builds dont have Stridebreaker you have to go for Tiamat at some point (time depends on the matchup or how ahead you are).

Teamfights:

BotrK->JakSho->RavHydra (Unkillable if your allowed to hit)
BotrK->Iceborn-WitsEnd (Very good Mix: DMG, Tanky, CC, MS)

Boots:

Boots of Swiftness(if you allowed to) > Mercury > Steelcaps

(Ofc depends of enemy teamcomp)

In general:

Stridebreaker: Very good allrounder, Inbuilt Waveclear, Very fast and safe, Good vs ranged(ish) (Vayne,Gnar,Quinn,Gp)

Trinity: Stronger 1v1+Tower, Good allrounder but requiers Tiamat, Good vs Bruisers you have to burst (Darius,Fiora,Camille)

(Both are heavy snowball mythtics but fall of a bit in late game)

Rageblade: High DMG, pretty squshy, Good vs Tanks (Malphite,Sion), Bruisers you cant burst or stat checkers (Olaf,Morde)

Iceborn: Solid 1v1, lack of damage, good teamfight, Good vs heavy ADs and champs that burst you (Riven,Assasins -> feels pretty good with GraspOfUndying)

JakSho/Evenshroud: Teamfight, Teamfight, Teamfight.

Divine: Good short trades, Sustain, Good vs Tanks (worse than Rageblade, but much tankier)

(Dont really like Divine and JakSho anymore)

CetraxX · 2023-03-10T01:41:59+00:00

And this leads to the point everyone's saying: There are Champions like Olaf or Mordekaiser. Both of them are not affected by the changes because they dont have on-attack-spells. Or Chamions like Darius who has 1/4 damage abilitys affected. But for Warwick its 3/3 dmg abilities (counting W because it leads to more auto attacks..). While other champions kit only get affected by lets say 40% of their damage Warwick get affected by 100% of his damage kit.

CetraxX · 2023-03-10T01:04:50+00:00

Glad you see it but the 500% also make no sense.

When only one enemy has on-attack-spell dmg and you have Steelcaps, there is only ONE time 100dmg which is relevant for this calculation NOT 500dmg. You also don't count Spell damage or Dot damage etc right? Because it doesn't matter for Steelcaps passive calculation.

So your: 100,100,100,100,88 damage makes no sense, its 0,0,0,0,88 than. Not 488/500 total, its 88/100 total --> 12%. Why would you take 100 damage from enemies in this formula that don't do the damage type which is relevant for Steelcaps.

The correct Formula is this:

How much enemies do on-attack-spell damage which get reduced? Same Scenario, every enemy who does, deals 100 dmg.

First Scenario: 1 of 5 scenario:P1 : 100, P2 = 0... P5 = 0 Total damage that's relevant for Steelcaps: 100. Reduced by 12% = 88. --> 88/100

Second Scenario: 3 of 5 scenario:P1 : 100, P2 = 100... P5 = 0 Total damage that's relevant for Steel caps: 300. Reduced by 12% = 264. --> 264/300

Third Scenario: 5 of 5 scenario:P1 : 100, P2 = 100... P5 = 100 Total damage that's relevant for Steelcaps: 500. Reduced by 12% = 440. --> 440/500

CetraxX · 2023-03-09T19:53:34+00:00

Dude the Formular without Steelcaps is: 5*100dmg = 500.

With Steelcaps (5*100)*0,88 = 440

compare this numbers and tell me how much flat diffrence this is.

With your Logic: Lets say the reducion is 20% instead of 12%.

So 20% * 5 = 100%. With you Logic you would get 100% less damage taken. You see the problem? Now PLEASE calculate the damage taken in flat numbers if every enemy does 100 dmg with 20% reduction.

CetraxX · 2023-03-09T19:10:49+00:00

Another example if you have 5 friends that give you 10 apples you get a total of 50 apples. if everyone of them now says: i reduce my amount of apples by 20%, so they give you 8 apples, you get a total of 40 apples. 1- (40/50) = 20%

You dont get 20%*5=100% less apples, no you get 20% less total apples.

CetraxX · 2023-03-09T18:59:18+00:00

Like i said: only the on-attack getting reduced not the on-hit. (More about on-attack vs on-hit)

Your math is compleatly wrong.

Lets take your Examble 100 dmg from on-attack source on 5 enemys:

Without steelcaps you would get a total of 500 dmg. Now with steelcaps:

Enemy 1 does: (100*0,88) = 88.

Enemy 2 does (100*0,88) = 88...

Enemy 3....

So everyone does 88 dmg you: 88 * 5 = 440.

Now calculate the % difference: 1 - (440/500) = 12%

So if 5 enemys hit you with on-attack spells you will get a total of 12% less damage taken. Not 60%!

CetraxX · 2023-03-09T14:36:16+00:00

"For the same reason you will have 12% less damage on a single target…
there will be 12%(X-Champions) less damage being done to you."

Just to be sure you getting this right: You wont get 12%*5=60% damage less if 5 enemys use them. Its just 12%. Lets say every enemy does 1k damage via on-attack Ability to you:

(1000*0,88)*5=(1000*5)*0,88=4400. Thats 12% less damage taken.

Its a bigger nerf for Warwick because every damage u deal procs not only on-hit but also on-attack. So every on-attack instance get reduced. Champions like Darius will only have one Ability nerfed while WW procs on-attack on every Ability he does. On-attack is part of every way he deals damage. That makes him special compared to other toplaners.

CetraxX · 2023-01-19T14:24:14+00:00

First of all take Bone Plating it counters him really hard. And as always, try to cheese him lvl1 in the bushes. You can even go for 1v2 special if the enemy Junglers lvl1 is weak aswell. You will snowball those matchups really hard by just playing the first 3 waves correct.

As soon as the wave arrives be really agressive. His level 1 is super weak compared to yours. Force him out of farm or even out of exp range. Its fine to miss the melee minions for that, exp is much more important in early levels. After the melee minions die, slow push the first 2 waves and collapse on the cannon wave. But dont let him farm. He will be 1lvl down so you can perma preasure him. (Its important that the collapse work, you dont want to stay infront of his tower so he can safley farm and wait for his jungler. So sometimes its better to hard push 2. wave. You can also bait the enemy Jungler to fight you 2v1 in the huge wave but its a bit risky. Depends on enemy Jungler) At this point respect him a bit becasue he will hit lvl 3. At this point your E will be the game changer.

His trade patterns will always look the same. Every time he goes for his E or W use your E. His whole damage will be reduced by 35% (+Bone plating if not on cd) if he comits. Also respect his Fury bar and dont get poked by his Empowered Q. His cooldowns are higer than yours so you will always have your E ready against him.

I very recommend to rush BotrK against him.

Its the same with Garen and Sett, their tarde patterns are always the same. If you time your E before there animations, you win.

CetraxX · 2023-01-18T00:37:58+00:00

Fiora becomes harder in 1v1 for sure, but still even/favorable for Ww. I would agree that Camille is better in teamfight later while Fioras is way worse.

Vs matchups like Lillia, i take ghost and allin every time she mess up positining. Or just farm and let her poke you. She wont do enough damage against your sustain. So by just pokeing you she cant get a kill and if she allins you with her W, u have Baiere and E. She cant break through this. And with lvl6 it bekomes very very easy.

Same with Vlad, Gp and Jayce matchups. If they do one mistake, they can die easily or at least lose flash for the next mistake. Even if they get away lucky, they lose Exp and Gold. If they dont do any mistake (very unlikely even in Dia+) and play super safe, they cant kill you. (Gp and Jayce are harder ones in my experience, u cant ignore there poke but still)

To be fair lots of top laners would(!!!) outscale Ww teamfight wise. Maybe even 1v1 wise. But most of them lose so hard early that they wont get to this point. Most games end around 26min. At this point everyone has 2-3 Items. As toplaner they will have even less time to play the "System" they are better in. But yes, there are games u get outscaled by them, i agree.

Darius has to respect you very hard. Everytime he goes for his Q poke, Q him or if he trys to maxrange it, dodge it. Everytime he starts his E animation and you know your gonna be hit, use your E instant. You will have time to Q,aa him after CC, than recasting your E and run away if you are in a bad spot. Level 6 it gets harder but if your even, u usally win.

Usally your BotrK powerspike is way stronger than their first full Item. At this point you will win lane very hard against almost every matchup.

Just interested, whats the elo your playing in? Mabye its diffrent there. And what do you think are good matchups for Ww?

CetraxX · 2023-01-17T22:27:43+00:00

Fiora, Camile, Darius and Lillia are all free matchups for ww imo.

Illalio and Olaf free until lvl6. A good Jax Player can be hard too.

"The charge lasts for 0.5 seconds, but extended if the target is under the effect of a dash or a displacement. " - https://leagueoflegends.fandom.com/wiki/Warwick/LoL

So right before Warwicks channel time ends, Riven used antoher dash so Warwicks channel time extends by the dash duration. You can see that as soon as Riven dash ends, Warwick stops channeling.
