Introduction Top

Adagio

Arcane Renewal(Hero Perk): Whenever enemies burning with Arcane Fire take damage from any source, Adagio regenerates 35% of that damage as energy.

Gift of Fire: Adagio heals a target ally and splashes Arcane Fire onto nearby enemies, dealing damage every second. If Adagio heals himself, he'll also slow nearby enemies by 70% for 1.5 seconds.

Agent of Wrath: Temporarily increases target ally's basic attack power for 6 seconds. Deals 50% more base damage to enemies burning with Arcane Fire. If Adagio targets himself, deals an additional 20% more base damage.

Verse of Judgement: Adagio channels for 2 seconds then deals grievous damage to all enemies in a wide, rune-marked ring around him. Enemies burning with Arcane Fire are also stunned. While channeling, Adagio temporarily gains fortified health during channeling.
(NOTE: Enemies affected by Gift of Fire will be stunned from Adagio's ultimate.)

INTRO

Hello everyone, my IGN: is Antalf. This build consist of two things, Broken Myth(BM) stacks and heavy defense. This build can be used both in lane or jungle, it is crucial if jungling to have your support near since Adagio is more dependent of someone on early game jungle fights or team fights in general. (Early Game)

Early Game Top

Importance of early game items.

In early game (3-7 mins) while laning(Applies to jungle too) my item choices would be a Boots, Heavy Prism, Crystal Bit or eclipse prism depending how is your gold at the moment. For laning in general its important to maintain a good CS (Creep Score) of approximately of 10 CS per minute, that's the ultimate laning CS. The importance of this items early games are the following

Boots: Can help you escape from team ganks, specially if the enemy's are swift (have major mobility)
Heavy Prism: This item is crucial on early game since it gives a major boost in adagio heal and base damage
Cystal Bit/ Eclipse Prism: There's always benefit in having that bit of a push in early, this item also gets you to what needs to be you first item, Shatterglass

Mid Game Top

Items on mid game.

In mid game the items may vary between your team needs, defense or whether you need a little boost on damage or heal. For optimal builds always check the score table, it is conventional too since your'e aware of your enemy's build, team mates defensive build and also the build for your own! Need to have in mind that by mid game the defense is important since adagio can die quickly if not going tank.

Items that may vary.

Items that vary in mid game can be something such as a Piercing Shard or the defensive items, Why this may vary? depending on your needs either of the team has more shield than expected and you need that pierce to make a difference or whether you're taking too much damage from the enemy side and need defense.

In mid game its crucial to have a Shatterglass and at mostly a Broken Myth and of course, defense. Its very very recommended to have that Broken Myth since you can stay back building stacks while the carry keeps them off you. (I'll talk about several strategies)

This is your time to make out the most gold possible, getting kills and turrets is optimal in this part since the more gold you have, the faster you'll get to your goal.

Late Game Top

How to wreck in late game.

Coming on to late game a Shiversteel is one of the best options combined with defense and the Broken Myth. This item helps you build stacks easily since you can find a enemy alone, activate the Shiversteel, build stacks and let your skills do the work once you have enough stacks.

Important Notice: You should always remember that if you're laning, let the carry and the support go first, you will give back up when the team fight is produced. Building sufficient stacks can assure you a win in most of the cases.

Strategies Top

Now, you might notice I've been talking basically the whole guide about stacks, well this whole guide is about stacks! Now I'm going to tell you some base strategies on how to build stacks and how to use them wisely.

Team Fight Ult.

Team fights are the key of this build, when a team fight occurs, be sure you're in a safe zone where you can both attack the enemies and also supporting your allies.

When you have all your stacks charged up, be sure to use Gift of Fire in ALL of the surrounding enemies. As soon as that is done, apply Agent of Wrath to your self. Shortly after proceed to use your ultimate Verse of Judgement dealing crazy damage to enemies. This is the best team fight strategy i could try and or say. If an enemy try's to run off, simply use Shiversteel, slow him and kill him with your B applied on you.

1v1 Fights

Now if you fell in the situation where you have to fight an enemy alone in late game, here is my strategy that works just lovely.

Found the enemy, simply turn on Shiversteel, proceed to basic attack him while getting close to him. After you get close to him, use Gift of Fire that has an additional slow and proceed to use Agent of Wrath, as soon as you use it (following you basic attacked him enough to have his HP low) basic attack him a few more time and your enemy will die since all that time you've been accumulating Broken Myth stacks!
