Predecessor Builds > Steel > STEEL SUPPORT GUIDE (UPDATED: 8/21)

My Steel Build, if you enjoy the build give it a thumbs up, if not then thumbs it down. If you have questions, critiques, or ever wanna play, my Discord link is on my Omeda.city profile.

Core items I build every time are Fire blossom (FIRST EVERYTIME) into ela into flux.

For flex items:

1.) TAINTED GUARD: if the enemy has alot of ability or self healing, for example a Khai, Grux, Countess, Narbash, etc. I will build T2 HORNED PLATE second and then ela into flux and then 4th item TAINTED GUARD.
2.) FROSTGUARD: Great if you're getting shredded, usually if enemy team has 2 carries ill go this.
3.) CRYSTALLINE: Obviously if more magic defense is needed based off what enemy hero on other team and what comp they are building, gives good escape when at max stacks to avoid getting ran down.
4.) GALAXY GREAVES: I rarely build this but it is fun to jump and bait out abilities or a dash when they think you are ulting when really you are just jumping with greaves, can get back to lane faster and traverse the map/escape easier. Some niche situations it is good for is jumping over DEKKER walls, AURORA ice circle/wall, GRUX pull, GADGET ult, etc.
5.) GAIA GREAVES: Similar to Galaxy, but I build more often (NEVER BUILD THIS IF YOU ARE A SOLO FRONTLINE, HEALTH MORE IMPORTANT). But obviously move speed, jump height (not to the extent of greaves), and a damage when at max stacks is solid. If im solo frontline I go RAIMENT, If im not the only frontline then its a 50/50 between raiment and gaia depending on enemy team composition.

For Flex Crest:

Any of the crests in the guardian crest tree will do you good. Rift walker I feel is best as solo support when you cant strategize with the team and it gets you in close with abilities.

1.) LEAFSONG: If my carry is following me up on my abilities and we are winning lane by being aggressive I will go this to run down and secure kills, also GREAT for escaping. If im playing in a stack with at least my carry I will run this.
2.) SANCTIFICATION: If enemy has alot of CC this is great especially against Aurora.

UPDATE #1 (07-30-2024): Changed starting core items, I build ELA into FLUX now instead of FLUX into ELA.
