Hey everyone,
I wanted to throw my hat in the ring with some of the advanced stuff I've been experimenting with in [RivalGaming]. I'm not talking about the basic starter guides—I'm talking about the high-risk, high-reward builds and strategies that can really shake up a match.
I've got a few favorite builds I've been fine-tuning, and I'd love to get your thoughts. Maybe you've got some similar ideas or even better ones.
The "Glass Cannon" Assassin Build
This one's all about pure, unadulterated damage. You're basically a ninja made of paper. The goal is to get in, obliterate one key target (like a healer or a squishy damage dealer), and get out before anyone even knows what hit them.
Key Skills & Gear: You'll want to focus on abilities that give you a quick burst of damage and some kind of mobility. For gear, it's all about maximizing your damage stats and ignoring defensive ones completely.
My Pro Tip: This build lives and dies by positioning. Don't engage from the front. Use the map to your advantage, find a flank, and strike when the enemy is distracted. Your mobility skill is your escape button, so don't use it to start a fight unless you're 100% sure you can get the kill.
The "Unkillable" Tank/Support Hybrid
Tired of getting blown up? This build is the opposite of the Glass Cannon. Your job isn't to kill people; it's to be an absolute brick wall. You're there to disrupt the enemy, protect your teammates, and just generally be a massive headache.
Key Skills & Gear: Look for abilities with lots of crowd control, like stuns, slows, or silences. Your gear should be all about health, armor, and magic resistance.
My Pro Tip: Don't just stand there and take hits. Be proactive! Use your abilities to interrupt enemy combos or to save a teammate who's getting focused. You're not just a shield; you're a walking, talking distraction that buys your team time to do their thing.
The "Zoning" Control Mage
This build is for the players who like to think a few steps ahead. You're not looking for the flashy one-shot kills. Instead, your goal is to control the entire battlefield, making it a nightmare for the enemy to move around.
Key Skills & Gear: Your best friends are long-range, area-of-effect spells. For gear, focus on things that give you mana regeneration and cooldown reduction so you can constantly be casting.
My Pro Tip: Learn the range of all your abilities and the enemy's. Use your long-range spells to poke at them and force them to move. Place your area-of-effect spells in key locations to deny access to objectives or choke points. Your goal is to make the enemy feel like there's no safe place to stand.
What do you all think? I'm curious to hear what crazy builds or advanced strategies you've been using. Let's get a good discussion going and maybe even find some new ways to dominate!
