How it works

  1. You rush Iceborn Gauntlet.
  2. You play as Tank, but with focus on kitting the enemy team and utility for your team.
  3. You disrupt fights with CC, soak damage, peel off your carries or initiate for your team.

Playstyle

  1. 🧊

    Rush Iceborn Gauntlet to slow and kite the enemy team.

  2. 🛡️

    Disrupt fights, create frozen pools, provide utility. All while soaking damage for your team.

  3. 🧰

    Adapt your tank items based on the enemy composition, so you can counter them.

How to play

Getting started

  1. You rush Iceborn Gauntlet #1, then 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.
  2. You can rush Imperial Mandate #2 if you can afford it, this makes this build more fun. However, if you are behind, it is okay to just skip it.

During fights

  1. There's great synergy between Iceborn Gauntlet + Imperial Mandate + Font of Life. You create frozen pools that will persist for a few seconds, slowing enemies, applying Imperial Mandate debuff + Font of Life heal mark for your allies.

Items

  1. For more utility oriented build, you can get Locket of the Iron Solari (sustain) or Shurelya's Battlesong (engages).

Runes

  1. Triumph rune is better overall (heal and gold), but if you want to have easier time with your mana, go Presence of Mind.
  2. Remember to consume your Grasp of the Undying procs!

Tips and Tricks

Champion

  1. You can use Ambush (Q) right before taking the portal (frost-gate). This way you get stealth during it, and you are gonna be invisible after exiting it.

Riot

  1. Twitch's Attack Speed is among the highest in the game; try purchasing items with on-hit effects such as Black Cleaver or Wit's End.
  2. Contaminate has a large range; apply as many stacks of Deadly Venom as possible before using it.
  3. You can catch up to an enemy out of attack range with Venom Cask.
