Predecessor Builds > Feng Mao > Feng Mao

[From CrimsonRage#7142 on Discord]

This build focuses on an interaction between brimstone and corrode allowing sustain and increased damage when paired together.

1. Crest: Assassin Crest - Ortus
2. Full Build: Mindrazor | Fire Blossom | Deathstalker | Painweaver | Situational Item
3. Build Order: Soul Chalice | Brimstone | Deathstalker | Mindrazor if 300+ stacks | Painweaver | Fire Blossom | Situational Item
4. Alternative Crest : Champion Crest - Brutallax if entire team has hard CC
5. Situational Item:
   • Breach (if against lots of tanks with armour items)
   • Resolution (huge endcap damage item if ahead / squishy enemy team)
   • Citadel (if you want more team fight pressure)
   • Augmentation (if against lots of tanks with health items)
6. Additional Tips:
   • Feng Mao has the strongest early game because of his passive. Always try to hit AA - E (Hamstring) when your passive is up (every 3s out of combat) and you always win the trade. Hit that twice and that's a quarter of their health gone.
   • Minions also hurt much more so only full engage when you have minion prio. Otherwise abuse the string and immediate disengage every time with Q (Safeguard)
   • Fireblossom is here because the passive damage triggers Deathstalkers corrode, making you reach the 6 stacks quicker and remain on the 6 stacks because of the damage aura. Then since your constantly on 6 stacks all your abilities deal 20% bonus true damage. That and also the bonus health it gives makes sure you don't immediately die.

Against Severog's I've found this to be the most effective build:

1. Crest: Assassin Crest - Ortus > Nex
2. Full Build: Fire Blossom | Deathstalker | Counter Item | Breach | Situational Item
3. Build Order: Brimstone | Deathstalker | Counter Item | Fire Blossom | Breach | Situational Item
4. Counter Item: Tainted Edge (if against two or more healers) | Void Helm (if sevarog is the only healer) | Tainted Bastion (if countess also ig)
5. Additional Situational Items: Dread (if you need to roam more) | Skysplitter (if massively ahead / can also replace Breach) | Nightfall (if needing more sustain)
6. Final Comments: Sev scales hard mid to late that you will inevitably struggle. Don't be surprised if you can no longer fully 1v1 him. Best thing to do is force him to stay in lane and not roam as much by constantly pushing / setting up waves in the offlane as your clear is faster
