1. Introduction Top

Hey there, I am ArtificialEight and i want to share my personal experience with the new Hero Fortress.
Since the Update 1.5 i constantly played with him and got pretty decent with him, jupping from Hotness Bronze to SA Bronze. So lets get into this.

2.1 The Early Game Top

Since you have chosen Fortress you are playing the role as an initiator/protector and Fortress is quite good in both parts. So you should start of with an Ironguard Contract and two Halcyon Potion and stick with your teammate in the jungle. Because of his Heroic Perk Packmates you gain movementspead which is insanley good to farm the jungle quickly. If your jungle teammate is a Koshka or Taka its even better because of their speed you are as fast as them.

After you and your jungle teammate cleared the Jungle you go buy a lot of Scout Traps. They are needed for vision. Vision is so much important, just believe me. After the 2nd jungle clearing you can chose to gank the enemie laner when he is overagressiv (when he is close to your turret).

Now you should have enough money to get Sprint Boots and an Oakheart. And yes never forget to buy Scout Trap. Those are possible placements of Scout Trap: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lo8gXD9CsF4
So the first tier 3 Item your should rush for is the Fountain of Renewal. Remember to use this when your Team is at 50% of their health. You can also use it when you absolutley sure that you wont get in a fight the next 60 sec.

2.2 The Mid Game Top

So now that you reached Mid Game you should focus on building the Item that empowers you which is the Aftershock. A lot of players play Fortress as a full support which is not bad but i think he can do more than just protecting others!
Start with the Eclipse Prism and a bunch of Scout Trap and some Halcyon Potion. If you feel you have an farm advantage you can go together with your jungle mate to the two lil minions of the enemie jungle. If you can place a Scout Trap in the shop bush. Then clear your jungle and buy a Chronograph. Remember always to look for possibilites of ganks on your small map. You as the initiator with Truth of the Tooth can kill laners pretty quickly.
When you earned enough Gold (1150 Gold) you go buy your Aftershock. This one helps you together with your Law of the Claw ability to lifesteal and increasing their bleeding! Now you can start to hunt your Enemies.

2.3 The Late Game Top

More to come here! Stay tuned!
