Threat Hero Notes
1
Taka I don't really know why, but I found it funny because Fortress specializes as another counter for Taka, and since of the extreme burst dmg of this build, you can locate taka easily, where the ultimate comes in. He's a piece of cake! Well, yeah, not literally though. That would be disgusting ;-;
2
Petal Petal is a fine match, and hey, this build is awesome for players who are into or seeking revenge on Petals ;)
3
Koshka She's a fine match, but only one thing; Watch out for the ultimate.
3
Skye Skye is one of those heroes I saw that didn't seem too OP, just balanced, So this might be changed because of the possible Buffs later on. Also, she has a really annoying set of skills, Her actions are something you have to really notice.
4
Joule Though she is overbuffed with wp, she is still going to be a great opponent to fight against. Beware though, Stu-- sorry, I'm pretty sure you know what I mean.
4
Rona Rona, your fellow "Watch-Out-She-Might-Come-Out-From-Anywhere-Oh-Crap-There-She-Is" Cliche.. Your fellow ganker.
5
Adagio This build will be sort of useless against him, due to his skills that keep him alive.
5
Phinn Phinn : What time is it? Jayk : Adventure Time! Phinn : No seriously. What time? Jayk : Uh, 10 minutes ingame? You: Who is Jayk? Guest : Just something to make you remember Adventure Time. Not-so-good old days ;-; Phinn isn't really examined yet, so Phinn, when I tried him, seems to be good at attacking heroes who are activating skills, so he could probably be the enemy of CP users..
5
Vox Vox is one of the heroes I have rarely seen played nowadays. But from my experiences, Vox is also really someone to watch out. His ultimate, his 2nd. Just do your best to avoid silences.
6
Glaive STUN BAD. Case closed. Oh wait, also, Glaive is one of those you have to avoid. He stuns, but that's it for him. Frostburn him good and he's for dinner. Oh yuck, Glaive-meat!
7
Ardan This build is not meant to attack tanks, because of his ultimate (stun)..
7
Ringo Ringo is like the hit-and-run (attack speed and slow) version of Fortress going for this build. Seriously, he has really low hp late game if he doesn't build so you're at an advantage if he doesn't do so.
7
SAW Me and SlimeDK (another member of GEN, but with another name) had a match, and I tested my build. It worked fine, but he was op with Mad Cannon, and yeah, Roadie Run bug, *cough* It always annoys me as Catherine. ;-;;
8
Fortress Enemy Fortress is also a pretty disturbing and challenging opponent. Depending on his build, timing and actions ingame, you can change the threat meter, though this threat meter is not definite.
8
Krul Just good luck seeing your clone, though your clone has lifesteal. Wait, evolution of Fortress? He turns into an undead? Wha--? What the heck is going on? Oh yeah, his stuns..
9
Catherine Catherine is the best disruptor of the game currently. Frankenstein : Fire BAD. Guest : Stun BAD.
9
Skaarf Frankenstein : FIRE BAD Guest : STUN BAD (And Slow too, even if you have your first) And most Skaarfs go for Eve, so if you meet one with Eve of Harvest, Prepare your pack.
10
Celeste Celeste specializes on kiting and spamming Heliogenesis, and usually combos it with her second. Her second is a stun, so beware. STUN BAD.

Nothing is Impossible Top

Ever wondered if the supports become your team's carry? Fear not! Not all supports are based on support!

Q : What do you mean? (Justin Bieber goosebumps..)
A : As mentioned above, not all support/tank are all about the supports or tanks (Meghan Trainor goosebumps, this time?!), they were categorized at support because they're the best at it. So hey, why not try breaking the meta?
Q : What makes Fortress differ from the supports and tanks?
A : Fortress differs from those supports and tanks we have, because, he's an all-build hero! All-build heroes are heroes (I specifically named it all-build) who can do damage in various ways. He or she can go cp, wp, or even hybrid! He's just an all-build hero though, but for now we are talking about the power of cp when used on him ;P

Breaking the Meta could lead to new things Top

I just can't really stand having a character going (their common build), so I had to break the meta for fortress. When I first tried fortress, I noticed that CP was suitable for him.

Me and my team mates, EvanGEN and NatsuGEN, usually had 1v1s. When Fortress is in the free rotation, they would always go saying "Oh ****." When I ask them on a 1v1. Natsu was really good with using a lot of trickery based characters, or basically he's our ganker. Evan is our common carry, and I always fight with him because of uh, a lot of things.

When I tried to break the meta with Koshka, it led me to lifestealer koshka. I was able to come up with that build before it was published here. Well, I was really sad when it was out but the only thing I felt that made me happy is that, it's not only me who thought of breaking the meta with such character :D

When the Fortress goes Offensive Top

I would usually go support, but it was off for me when using Fortress.

Since you've reach this far, you deserve a cookie.
*Gives cookie* *Fortress's stomach growls*
*Fortress steals cookie from Guest*
Aw ****, I guess I can't give the cookie to you.. Oh well i'll repay you with more information wink emoticon
(Though that cookie was really expensive, it even was a Belgium Cookie!)

Agh, back to the topic.
What happens when Fortress goes offensive? Well he would, die, as support, without anyone, to.. Heal.... (extreme heavy breathing, just because of the cookie I gave to you..!)
*Takes deep breath*
The reason why we have Fortress to break the meta is because, to help you guys win games. Though this build is specified only for 1v1s, or basically, this is like when he goes Krul.

This build is really similar to Shinkaigan's Cooldown build on Krul. Though, due to the fact this is not Krul, we had to make sure the hero we hired for this guide is Kru-- I mean Fortress.


PROS :
-> Powerful on ganks
-> Extreme burst damage
-> Aftershock aftereffect, included with bleeding
-> Frostburn, deal damage and slow enemies down. Sped up with our clockwork.
-> Useful after every teamfight, where your enemies run injured and run away. Fun to do to Takas.. Haha x)
-> Strong mid-late game
CONS :
-> Low sustainability to stuns, enemy ganks, and nearly no use
-> Weak early game
-> Not useful for escapes, basically it's for people who wants to gank, not for people to be ganked.
-> I'm Blue (the build ofc)
-> Overdepending on skills, so you really had to buy that clockwork. Sad lyfe.

Fortress's Build and The Purpose of Each Item Top

Well, If you have questions regarding why the items are there, and how they affect Fortress, and his skills.

Aftershock is here with us because, It is really (mostly) effective to Truth of the Tooth and Attack of the Pack , due to the fact that Truth of the Tooth is an activatable attack with aftereffect, but does not land on the target the time it is activated. And because of Attack of the Pack, you don't just get that awesome pack of wolves and that hp increase, but you get increased damage as well! Also, Aftershock gives our 2nd skill much more damage, and it can damage up to half of the health of the enemy (if the enemy has no def tho ;-;)
Clockwork plays the largest role in cp builds, of course, but in this build, it is really really needed, and it is reccomended to keep it intact to the build. It supports Aftershock's description, also Broken Myth's and Frostburn's.
Broken Myth can be the tide turner, and this is the reason why it's here. Due to it's consequences (cons) that mention that this build has nearly no effect on teamfights, we had to put it here, because of course, every "normal" game should have a teamfight.
Frostburn is being supported by Broken Myth and Aftershock because of the things mentioned above, and since Broken Myth gives that extra cp boost, you earn more "frosty" boost :)
Journey Boots is that one item EvanGEN considers as "defensive item" due to it's shield and armor, hp increase, movement speed increase, and stuff.
Crucible is something you need. You can get nearer to your opponents, and you can lead your allies forward. Basically this build is like an offensive tank..... cliche.


Hope you understand my shuffly chapter, *brain gets filled with confusion*
