CP Idris is a mid-game, mid-range carry. He dances around fights with his A and can ult to escape any sticky situation, all the while dealing constant amounts of high damage with his auto attacks and chakram. Start out in lane, play safe until you get the
120 CP then just go and be a beast. When building CP it is very important that you think of your A and Ult as defensive abilities primarily.
Early Game Top
Since his auto attacks only gain their crystal ratio at
120 CP, Idris has a very weak early game when built CP. Being initially melee, Idris will get harassed a lot in lane. However, his B does come with a high crystal ratio (250% if it hits the enemy hero twice). Along with the fact that
Crystal Bits give
20 CP compared to
Weapon Blades that give
15 WP, it means that you can at least make the enemy laner think twice about going all-in on you. If you think you won't be able to handle the harass, switch out the
Crystal Bit for a
Book of Eulogies, and sell it later on. Since CP Idris is mostly auto attack based, the
Swift Shooter improves his damage early game and can be built into an
Alternating Current. Basically, play safe by farming under turret or getting your captain to babysit in lane, poke with your B and stall until mid game.
Mid Game Top
This is the stage of the game where you shine. At this point, you should have completed your first item and have some other item components. It is important to get your
Frostburn and at least a
Crystal Bit. This gives you the
120 CP needed for your perk. In teamfights, try not to get caught out of position (i.e Stay behind your captain) and kite any heroes that come after you. Use your A before auto attacking them when they come at you. This will maximise the duration of the slow provided by
Frostburn. If they try to chain cc you, use your ult to quickly escape. Don't forget to use your B to keep your stamina up, and try to let it hit as many targets as many times as possible. However, don't use your A to try and maximise your B's damage, you need it to escape. Try to get an
Alternating Current when possible to greatly bosst your damage and see if you can snowball the game from there.
Late Game Top
Basically, keep doing what you have been doing since early game. Get a Broken Myth as it makes use of your ability to kite and turns it into damage. You will need your Captain's cooperation to help peel for you or chase down enemies. For boots take
Journey Boots to improve your overall ability to kite and buy a
Crystal Infusion before taking
Kraken or if you know a teamfight is going to happen.

CP Idris is interesting because of his perk. His CP path lets his auto attacks apply on-hit effects. This means that they will apply the slow from
Frostburn, allowing him to effectively kite. Since only his B does crystal damage, and his auto attacks have quite a high crystal ratio (90%), building an
Alternating Current boosts his overall damage per second. The
Broken Myth takes advantage of his ability to kite, letting Idris excel at extended team fights. You may sometimes want to replace it with a
Shatterglass instead if team fights don't last long. For your fourth item, you may want a
Shatterglass for raw damage or perhaps an
Eve of Harvest for more sustain. I recommend
Journey Boots as it has the highest movement speed buff and the lowest cooldown, boosting your kiting ability. Lastly for defense, it depends on the opposing team. If you find yourself dying often due to high amounts of burst damage, get a
Slumbering Husk. Otherwise, just get an
Aegis or
Metal Jacket, depending on whether the other team does more weapon or crystal damage to you. You may want to swap out your fourth crystal item for a defensive one if you find yourself still too squishy.
Summary Top
To summarise, play defensively until you get
120 CP. After that, work with your Captain to kite in team fights and deal constant damage from mid-range. Remember to watch the opponents' builds and itemize accordingly. Try to stay near your teammates in case you need to ult. And remember, you don't have to stick to this guide completely. Once you become experienced enough, you may think of new ways to synergise with your team that involve other items. This guide is more general and cannot account for every scenario. With that said, I hope this lets you understand CP Idris better, and have fun on the Halcyon Fold.
