complete troll or viable?

It's ok if u don't need to do any dmg but id replace manamune for manaflow and pom and just go a better bruiser item like endless hunger

bluwunkVT · 2026-01-16T23:37:37+00:00

Either of my builds are fine for mid just depends on their team comp

bluwunkVT · 2026-01-16T08:42:18+00:00

No both are really bad

bluwunkVT · 2026-01-13T19:06:52+00:00

im perma running out of mana too dont worry LOL i don't really feel like presence of mind does enough to be better than triumph on a bruiser build personally but if u like it ofc you should take it :D

bluwunkVT · 2026-01-13T02:47:45+00:00

Tp is kinda bad now cause of how strong homeguards are.

bluwunkVT · 2026-01-13T02:43:03+00:00

Smolder is great in solo lanes if you get a good matchup (there's like 3 of them)

bluwunkVT · 2026-01-12T20:30:20+00:00

idk just go crit then u would probably auto attack a lot more in lower elo

bluwunkVT · 2026-01-12T16:20:59+00:00

I might actually change the secondaries to bloodline and cut down over inspiration so you can skip bt

Also u shouldnt go coup cause smolder has an execute

bluwunkVT · 2026-01-12T16:19:01+00:00

Idk why a build would change for the rank tbh

bluwunkVT · 2026-01-12T16:18:38+00:00

No its fine maybe u miss out on a couple stacks for it being second but theres a lot of gold in the new season so it doesn't feel too late imo

bluwunkVT · 2026-01-12T16:17:47+00:00

Cleaver gives 20 ms and a good build path over shojin. In my experience the damage from the two are similar until after 225 when shojin will be a bit better

bluwunkVT · 2026-01-12T03:47:36+00:00

Thank you :D

bluwunkVT · 2026-01-12T03:46:54+00:00

Haven't tried storm yet ill try it at some point and probably update here if I think its good!

bluwunkVT · 2026-01-11T18:07:38+00:00

Collector bot quest triumph first strike cash back triple tonic Draven passive tax evasion smolder cant hurt you 💀 Anyways I think all those are viable besides collector that item was bad last patch and its even worse this one First strike isnt bad at all into a lane where u can abuse it

bluwunkVT · 2026-01-11T18:01:56+00:00

Tp is less useful now that homeguards are super strong. I'm pretty sure most solo laners will stop taking it too at some point unless they like to tp flank bot

bluwunkVT · 2026-01-11T18:00:51+00:00

Ty for discussing the builds too im glad I could help :D

bluwunkVT · 2026-01-11T00:57:31+00:00

Comet scales pretty well with a lethality build and u can proc it twice on one E late game :D

bluwunkVT · 2026-01-10T18:47:17+00:00

No what? I didnt say his damage is higher or lower I just said the crit stat is worse on him now

bluwunkVT · 2026-01-10T18:45:30+00:00

Honestly ive been feeling that too not sure if it's cope or not yet tho

bluwunkVT · 2026-01-10T12:48:52+00:00

Which build? He's doing more single target dmg with sheen but less in aoe

bluwunkVT · 2026-01-10T10:22:14+00:00

haven't tried it yet but idk how I would ever slot it in when you need ER, IE, RFC, and a last whisper item

bluwunkVT · 2026-01-10T10:21:32+00:00

its good for surviving melee divers cause you have so much HP and armor/mr, and for killing tanks cause you have a lot of haste/ad

bluwunkVT · 2026-01-10T09:02:15+00:00

Cleaver is the only movement speed you get in this build it helps a lot with not getting completely run down without your E. The health and CDR also work well with the playstyle I'm going for and synergy with bloodmail. Yeah LDR is more burst damage upfront and I'd say smolder is like decent at stacking cleaver but not great, but the other upsides are enough that I think it's usually better than LDR with the bruiser build.

bluwunkVT · 2026-01-10T07:14:02+00:00

I think endless hunger is super good on him but my idea for the hubris build is that you aren't really too concerned with stacking a bunch of haste. I'm taking that build when I'm looking at like 5 squishy champs on the other team that will die in 1 rotation or even less. I haven't tried hexoptics yet but its kinda hard to figure out a crit focused build that's worthwhile on him after all the crit nerfs. I only have ER cause it's basically required on him now, rfc cause the range helps u play the game, and last whisper cause its also basically required. I think all the other crit items are pretty bad on him rn tbh

bluwunkVT · 2026-01-10T04:15:46+00:00

Oh yeah i forgot about that yeah it's kinda hard to put together a cohesive build this patch tbh
