How it works
General
- You play Bruiser stacking HP, auto attacking and rushing one specific item. You adapt to enemy team, building tanky items.
- You rush Titanic Hydra and optionally Runaan's Hurricane.
- Titanic Hydra can be your only damage item. Then go full tank.
- Your auto attacks are quite powerful, thanks to Titanic Hydra and Grasp of the Undying. It's your main source of damage + your abilities.
Azir Bruiser specific
- Soldiers (W) proc your On-Hit effects.
How to play
General
- This build is focused on a single item - Titanic Hydra.
- How is this build different to other bruisers builds? The main difference is item rush order. You rush Titanic Hydra first, then adapt to the situation!
- If you want to go more damage, Sundered Sky is an excellent damage item for this build. It scales off your HP (so with Grasp, Overgrowth). It gives damage and pretty good sustain in fights. Remember to switch targets to maximize the effect!
- Runaan's Hurricane is quite a fun and optional item for this build. Buy it if you need damage AND do not need to be more tanky.
- A very effective way of poking enemies is to use Titanic Hydra Active and hit minions in front of them (closer to them, better the effect).
- Another effective way of poking enemies with Titanic, is to hit caster minions in the back.
- Enemy team heavy on AP? Buy MR. They heavy on AD? Buy Armor. You need some damage? Well buy that.
- Remember to consume your Grasp of the Undying procs!
Azir Bruiser specific
- Your soldiers (W) started proccing your on-hit effects, so it works well with Titanic Hydra.
- Azir has really good auto attack animation, use it for your advantage.
- Azir gets ARAM bonus attack speed and has -5% damage taken, which makes a difference for this build.
Tips and Tricks
General
- You should stay near Sun Disk (Passive), whenever possible. It loses Armor and Magic Resist if you are too far.
Riot
- Be careful about putting down both of the soldiers stored by Arise! Unless you're going all-in, always have a soldier in your back pocket if you need to escape over a wall or if you misposition your other soldier and need damage now.
- In the lane, try to position your soldiers between the enemy's minions and the enemy champion. This way you can use them both to last hit and to project threat onto your lane opponent.
- Think of Emperor's Divide as a defensive ability first and foremost. Use it when the enemy engages on you or your allies. Remember that your team can walk through the soldiers summoned by Emperor's Divide and use this to your advantage when enemy melee champions engage on you.
- Be a bird!
