How to play
Tank Build specific
- You start with Guardian's Horn. Your #1 rush should be item that counters enemy team most (MR or Armor item). Get Jak'Sho as #2 item. Then adapt.
- Triumph is better overall (heal + gold), but if you want to have easier time with your mana, go Presence of the Mind.
- Guardian's Horn is a surprisingly good item for its price. You can keep it for very long time (or even have it as 6th item).
- You need to adapt your items to the game. 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!
Tips and Tricks
General
- You can cancel your Abyssal Dive (W) with Flash in case of emergency.
- If you know you will get alive, don't use Thick Skin (E). Let it heal you instead.
- Want to hit Abyssal Dive (W)? Face the other direction to mislead the enemy.
- Hit Tongue Lash (Q) first, then use Abyssal Dive right away for certain hit.
- Just ate enemy player? Don't spit him out immediately. Wait for your cooldown, your allies and their cooldowns as well. Ping them if needed.
Riot
- Your most important function as a support is to keep fragile allies safe. Keep Devour's range and cooldown in mind and position accordingly!
- Consider carefully when to use Thick Skin's active. Sometimes shielding early to avoid further damage is good, but sometimes the healing is more beneficial.
