Predecessor Builds > Riktor > I Am Riktorious!

Wanna utilize Riot Shield as much as possible? This build will allow you to stack amazing amounts of Maximum Health allowing you to have a chonky shield that will be difficult to take down let alone yourself.

Look, we all love our big, scary warden. Riktor's Riplash is a great tool for helping your carry obtain easy kills like they were served on a silver platter and his Shock Therapy definitely gets work done as it silences anyone foolish enough to go into his range. But personally, I feel his biggest strength lies in his Passive, Riot Shield. Adding 12% (subject to change) of Riktor's Maximum HP as a shield is a mechanic I don't see anyone really utilize on the big guy so here's a build on how to make the chonkiest chonk you've ever played that simply won't let go of the shields at any point in a teamfight. Here's the guide step by step on this Support oriented build for Riktor:

PART 1: Early Game 00:00-10:00

As you enter the battlefield, you need to realize that aside from getting Guardian Crest, you need two things covered. 1. Counter wards a.k.a Sentry will allow you to easily help your Carry get rid of enemy vision and at the same time earn a little bit of cash to start off your early game and 2. Rush Fire Blossom immediately. This fancy cloak allows your early to mid game to be much more aggressive, utlizing how much CC (Crowd Control) Riktor possesses with his Riplash and Shock Therapy as the Heatwave passive on Fire Blossom deals 15 (+1.5% Bonus Health) magical damage per second to nearby enemies that doubles if they're immobilized allowing for easy takedowns that would normally take a bit longer to take down with your lane partner.

PART 2: Mid Game 10:00-25:00

To really start utilizing Riktors kit as he (hopefully) has reached level 6+ at the 10 minute mark, we need to push for some powerful tools to further his kit. As you should've finished getting Fire Blossom it's time to get ourselves the Requiem. Now that teamfights are the bread and butter of the results of how this match is going down we gotta give our squad the power of the Elegy stacks! For you, it'll give 1 magical power and 10% base mana regeneration whenever a Hero dies close to you maxing at 20 stacks but for your allies it's downright nasty as it gives the Remembrance passive, granting nearby allies 1 physical power and 0.5% lifesteal per stack which at max stacks is no joke a big power spike. Try to obtain your Sanctification as quickly as possible in the mid game, preferably before the end of this stage of the match but if you have had a great early game and finishes it earlier it's a big plus.

Now, about that Riot Shield passive... We simply need MORE HP! And what better way to buff it right up than with our lovely companion Raiment of Renewal! It boosts a whopping +600 Health increase and has Mana, Ability Haste and Base Regen to really keep ya topped up at all times but it also regenerates 15% of damage taken over 5s with it's Regenerator passive and you gain Health Regeneration equal to 1% of your bonus Health with it's second passive, Synthesis. Now you're Riktorious and ready to brawl!

PART 3: Stardust Cr.... Never Mind, Bad JoJoke. 25:00+

The last super important item I simply cannot recommend enough is of course Requiem. Flux Matrix. This fancy lil' bugger can make the Late Game fights much easier with the help of Unstable Shackles that make nearby Heroes take 15% additional magical damage and have their tenacity decreased by 20%. This will make Supports like Lt. Belica, Muriel and Dekker have a bad time as they're now forced to take fight or flight after a successful Riplash as all the Health items you've built so far allows for more damage overall without the need of damage items.

The last item you should build is definitely up to what you are up against and since Omeda City has a character limit I will recommend you read the exact same build on Pred.pro since I made a bunch of examples there from the Situationals modules.

This is my very first build I have theory-crafted myself in Predecessor and I hope you'll give it a try and see for yourself just how much of a menace you can be on Riktor. Thanks for reading and have some amazing games! -WuffieGG
