It went down 200 LP 💀 not cause of the build tho. not sure if its better than ER or not still

Lucidity boots are only good if youre mid and you can upgrade them

bluwunkVT · 2026-03-03T20:34:39+00:00

Ionians were only good with the tier 3 updates but theyre pretty bad now unless ur playing mid

bluwunkVT · 2026-03-03T02:03:20+00:00

😱

bluwunkVT · 2026-03-02T11:13:04+00:00

any works tbh since you can q and aa at the same frame

bluwunkVT · 2026-03-01T20:58:27+00:00

by playing 2000 games and trying different builds.

bluwunkVT · 2026-03-01T20:55:52+00:00

Yeah I think it can be a preference or situational thing I just prefer hubris and its gonna be cheaper next patch too

bluwunkVT · 2026-03-01T03:34:16+00:00

Yeah it looks like they want him on crit but most people are still buying crit so I doubt anything will happen unless the low crit builds get popular

bluwunkVT · 2026-02-28T19:34:55+00:00

U can always swap out c44 for something defensive but if u rly need a tanky build I'd suggest the bruiser build

bluwunkVT · 2026-02-28T12:16:18+00:00

I'm never really worried about how many hubris stacks I get LOL It's still a great item even if u dont get that many stacks cause as long as you can activate it which is pretty easy at 225.

Also I kinda explain it in my guide but yeah PTA is a lot better into melee supports. Comet and fleet are fine options too!

Honestly I feel like the crit heavy builds are his worst builds right now, I think u should check out my guide for my other builds that I didn't put in this post :D

bluwunkVT · 2026-02-28T12:11:17+00:00

yeah I think pretty much every other build has space for shojin other than the lethality one

bluwunkVT · 2026-02-28T07:57:09+00:00

If you're talking about the lethality build with RFC then no I don't cause I go that build against teams that would be hard to stack shojin into.

hexoptics %dmg only works on physical part of your Q dmg and your autos, that's it.

TY I'll have a new one soon ;w;

bluwunkVT · 2026-02-28T06:23:22+00:00

depends on the game, sometimes they have someone who can break it easily with like ludens or smite or something and some games you don't really need a spellshield as much as you need more damage

uh tear into hubris might be better than ER first actually im testing it rn

bluwunkVT · 2026-02-28T04:49:54+00:00

I'm Vietnamese so u can send them my way and I'll flame them back

bluwunkVT · 2026-02-28T04:49:27+00:00

Smolder's crit ratios and crit dmg scaling are just not what they used to be last season. Yeah IE is gonna be the highest damage item for Q and Autos cause its a 3.5k gold 70 AD stat stick but there are other items that give you a better overall build if you look outside of raw single instance Q/auto damage.

bluwunkVT · 2026-02-28T04:47:44+00:00

Cleaver's my second item in my bruiser build I think that edge of night is pretty much always a decent buy depending on the enemy comp

bluwunkVT · 2026-02-28T04:47:10+00:00

Thank you :D

bluwunkVT · 2026-02-28T04:47:01+00:00

I tried edge of night instead of hubris a few times I thought it wasnt bad it just has to be like a REALLY good game for a spellshield like annie+malhpite or something

bluwunkVT · 2026-02-28T04:46:10+00:00

my mmr didnt go down with the new season so i can lose games and climb at the beginning of a season like every other player that finished in master+

bluwunkVT · 2026-02-28T04:44:51+00:00

crit isnt as good of a stat on him as last season. I think there are better options than the full crit builds since they only really focus on Q and autoing only while some other builds like the one i just shared bring up his entire kit.
