Zarus the Brawler [BRAWL-BUILD]
Quick Notes
It's actually almost impossible to create a fixed build for such a flexible mode.
You have to react to completely random team compositions in virtually every match.
Nevertheless, here is my contribution to a Zarus build that is relatively flexible and possibly valid for most match-ups (more or less).
Skill-Order
Works just as in regular mode:
R > RMB > Q > E (Ult > Poke > Stun > Dash)
Build
Core Items (if there even is a core item setup in brawl mode 😅)
- Augmentation
- Berserker's Axe
Optional Items
- Penumbra
- Tainted Guard
- Tainted Blade
6th Flex Armor Slot
Physical Defense
- Warden's Faith
- Anti-Crit option
- Citadel
- Armor because of nearby enemies almost always guaranteed
- Stonewall
- for mitigating phy-dmg
Magical Defense
- Crystalline Cuirass
- against magical team-comp
- Mistmeadow Buckler
- lesser mag-def while gaining some phy-pwr
- this item needs testing though, since it needs time to build up its bonus; brawl-mode's fast paced nature might not allow you to build up the bonus
- Frostguard
- Absolution
Crest
Since this is a rather fast-paced game mode, we definately want a crest, that we can use a lot.
Ideally a crest, that grants permanent bonus on 'doing' something 😉
That's why we dump any crest, that have a larger cooldown.
What's left?
Rogue Crests
- Ortus (90s CD; phy-pwr; movement; permanent phy-pwr on takedown)
- Nex (90s CD; AoE; slow)
Warrior Crests
- Iceskorn Talons (45s CD; phy-pwr; movement; slow)
My Pick
Brawl-Mode is a witch's cauldron where you fight in close combat situations.
Ortus is definately the best pick here:
- moderate CD
- duration refresh on takedowns
- permanent phy-pwr!
Notes
Build still in testing, have fun :)
