Ultimate Consumable Guide by Fabz

Hello, and welcome to this VG consumable guide. We have been playing VG alot, and ranked up from Decentish to Simply Amazing. Our names are HiddenSquid12 and Fabz, and we are part of the MinionCandy guild. If you would like to join us, add our names in VG, and we'll rank up together.

Early game if you are playing support, always buy a Scout trap. If there is an early jungle invade, place your mine to try to deal damage. At level one, Scout Traps deal way more damage than abilities. Mid game, place mines where you want to have vision. Usually near the Gold Mine and the Jungle shop. If you got a Scout Trap in a team fight, try to bait the enemy team to step on it. Late game, you should only use mines for vision, not for dealing damage. Always have a mine in the Kraken pit

You should buy two Potions early game, and always have one around. If you are high on health, but low on mana, it isnt forbidden to use a potion just for the mana. It will help you clear camps faster

There are three ways to use flares: One is to see if the enemy is near a jungle camp, and see if you can get some free farm. The second way is to use the flare to check if the enemies are hiding in a bush trying to ambush your team. If your team are playing against a Taka, always have a flare to reveal Taka when he uses Kaku.

Normally, the only one who really gets value out of Minion Candy is Petal. However, you can also use it to force the enemy back in lane when both teams are hanging around the kraken. If you are planning to play minion candy, remember that you should at least have one Minion Mine, to get full effect. Just remember that stronger minions means more gold for the enemy team.

Since infusion become stronger over time, you should use them when between level 10 and 12. Use an infusion before decisive teamfights, but don't buy them early game because the three minute buff is not worth the gold. You can also use infusions when your team is behind, in order to get a suprising turnaround.
