First thing I told myself: holly cc! And damage! Tychus % And I had some strange comp maybe. We lost game hard but I wanted your thoughts on which build would have been the best vs this comp? Amateur at 1, since big merc? Q build? Vs Heavy CC, not sure. Triple strike titan killer? They have a mura but I don’t know, not so heavy hp heroes with the rexxar. Blade of templar? Hmm, maybe. Spellshield? Maybe I should went that. Spellshield at 13 and 16 more shield so I try to live.
They don’t really have burst damage (depending on Tychus’ build), and wave clear isn’t as crucial on this map if you control the Sentinels. I probably would have gone with an E build with AO at level 1 and Suppression Pulse at 10 (for obvious reasons!). Level 16 could be any of the three, depending on how the match is going at that point, and 20 would be double blind.
Level 4, 7, and 13 would be E talents. It’s not as crazy as it sounds, what with the changes to his E, and the fact that you would have 3 targets for point blank swaps in Muradin, Uther, and Misha. The general armor at level 4 would be good since they have mixed damage types, and you do have a BW for spell armor if needed. Chrono Surge gives you burst damage, and the slow helps both Nova and KTZ. The CDR at 13 means that with all those point blank targets, you have the attack speed, armor, and slow up all the time.
Also note, they have a lot of CC, and with the change giving you Unstoppable on successful swaps, you can dodge quite a bit of it, especially clearing the Lunara slow, with more Es. By being able to just do point blank swaps, you won’t be putting yourself in precarious positions to get the benefits of a successful E. You can also backswap Uther into your Garrosh for potential picks.
It might not have worked, your team’s draft was pretty weird for that map, but at the least, it would have been fun!
Show dominance and go for acslk’s build (PoA+E).
BW can save you with W vs Tychus D and with E vs Lunara’s trait.
You’re not allowed to Q. Titan Killer could be considered.
I’m not saying its the build you should go for, but i play art a lot and my build i can use like 80% of the games. It doesn’t do exceptional dmg, but it makes for a hell of a fighter by lv 16. 1 is almost always amateur opponent, Art is one of the best camp takers in the game and more often than not you won’t build as high on auir as you think. Especially if there’s someone whose good at keeping a range like Li ming, or chromie. As for the rest for the rest it is situational, but here’s my build 80% of the games. (I’m going to number the talent selection instead of saying the name of the talent, ordered from top to bottom 1-4). Lv1:2 / Lv4: 2(The reason for this one is you’ll get rewarded at lv 16 and if you do it right you’ll get shield back roughly every 3 seconds.) Lv7:2 / Lv10(Always depends on the team) Lv13:4 (The others are really good, but this will protect you from burst dmg and make it easier for you to stay in fights.) Lv16: 2 or 3( Percent should only be used against someone you cannot normally fight) 2 will allow super fast shielding and 3 on this talent tier will allow you faster shielding and a bit more dmg.) Lv20 if you went full in on shields go for 4 if not take the ult upgrade
That is actually his weakest level 13. I wouldn’t pick that unless I am going for a full boss race build, against a team who completely ignores me the entire time. Yes, I know it is the most popular pick at that tier, but I almost always get more value out of any of the other three choices.
Definitely would not have gone E build. Artanis wants to minimize his time taking damage.
Instead, go Shield Battery (Tychus and Lunara both don’t instantly pop his bubble, allowing him to get good value on the cooldown return.)
Depending on the Lunara’s damage, I would either go Chrono Surge + Phase Bulwark, or double up on Solarite Reaper + Templar’s Zeal, both with Force of Will at 16.
The main idea is to focus on getting picks while diving as minimally as possible.
It’s far less risky than E build, period. You don’t even get value out of E build unless you’re constantly attacking. At least with Q build, properly done Q’s are minimally risky.
It’s Hanamura, you will either be doing camps (no value for Q build) or fighting over something. E build is far less risky into 3 stuns, one of which is point and click.
Yea I didn’t try blue shield at 4 and spellshield much, I should try and see the results. They didn’t have so much Spellpower but still, it’s alway useful. Do you usually go shield at 16 or blade of templars? Or it’s kinda 50/50?
And I had some strange comp maybe. We lost game hard but I wanted your thoughts on which build would have been the best vs this comp? Amateur at 1, since big merc? Q build? Vs Heavy CC, not sure. Triple strike titan killer? They have a mura but I don’t know, not so heavy hp heroes with the rexxar. Blade of templar? Hmm, maybe. Spellshield? Maybe I should went that.
