How to play
AP Build specific
- Playing AP Blitzcrank build, your default rush is Stormsurge.
- You can optionally rush Hextech Rocketbelt for reach.
- Adapt to an enemy team. Are they full of tanks, and they rush tons of Magic Resist? You rush Void Staff as #2 or #3 item to counter MR stacking. Their team has champs with lots of healing? Rush Oblivion Orb as #2 item (upgrade to Morellonomicon as 4th or 5th item).
- Somebody is going after you each fight? Always getting ulted by enemy assassins? Rush Zhonya's Hourglass.
Blitzcrank specific
- Your usual combo is: First Strike + Hextech Rocketbelt + R + Q/W/E + Ignite. It is easier to do this combo from bush.
- Another easy combo: First Strike + Hextech Rocketbelt + Flash + R + Q/W/E + Ignite.
- You can get surprise kills/damage when traveling through portal. Enemies do not know who is traveling until the last moment (unless you are only one!). ULT. RIGHT. AWAY.
- If an enemy team has lots of tanks, this build is not going to be very effective. Go Liandry's Anguish + Lich Bane for more sustained damage, or even play some other variation.
- Max second either Overdrive (W) or Power Fist (E). W - when you need more mobility/reach, Power Fist (E) when you can land two Es in a fight, and fights are prolonged.
- Wait for First Strike and proc it with your combo, to deal damage and earn gold.
- Be careful to not get poked, because you waste First Strike procs.
Tips and Tricks
Riot
- The 1-2-3 combo of Rocket Grab, Power Fist, and Static Field can devastate an individual opponent.
- Using Blitzcrank's grab to pull an enemy into your tower range followed by a Power Fist will allow the tower to get several hits on them.
