How I decide
«I use Stygian in the chosen physical focus.»
Ruslan UkrainskyiSpeaking through Rodya
- 01 Situation
- In a late fight, my hero can keep attacking a key target.
- 02 My decision
- I apply armour reduction and support it with useful combined physical damage.
- 03 What I avoid
- Give everyone one attack and fail to use the armour reduction afterwards.
When to choose
When tier 5 neutral items become available. I choose from the current options for the hero's next task; this item is not bought with gold.
Which heroes I would try it on
Examples based on mechanics. The role, opponents and team plan determine the final choice.
