Basic WP description Top

At the start grab two potions and a book of eulogies so you can stay in the jungle without having to go back to base. Farm until you can get sprint boots, six sins and heavy steel. After this you can start to roam and support your team, while doing this buy sorrowblade, work up to tornado trigger and get travel boots. If the match isn't over by this time work up towards clockwork. If it still isn't over do dragonheart. I hope this works for you, it sure does for me!! While using glaive make sure you use afterburn strategiclly. Use it to send enemies towards turrets and allies. You can also use it to escape fights. A lot of people don't use it to escape so it gives you an advantage. Make sure you build up stacks of bloodsong before use. Use it in team fights to turn the tide of battle. Watch out for catherine because she will soak up the damage you deal. Use your boots to run from enemies and save your afterburn for offense. That's all for now on tips!
Item Explantaion
Sorrowblade: weapon power is essential to this build. Basic attack damage is great way to get kills amd assists.
Tornado trigger: now that you have good attack damage you need to dish it out as fast as possible. Tornado trigger does that for you with a good critical chance and crit. damage.
Journey boots: Glaive is very slow to start with so you want to get him some speed, this will let you get people in the chase.
Bonesaw: Smart people will build armor to take you out. this should get them back.
Aegis: Now you can deal significant damage you want to soak it up. A Aegis will do this for you.
Tyrants monocle: This is one of the best things to get, it stacks so well with his heroic perk.

Glaive Speed Demon Explanation Top

This build focuses on dishing out as much damage as possible in a short amount of time. After tyrants monocle most of your attacks should be Crit. and throwing crits out quickly is the way to go. After tyrants monocle you do alternating current for 1: the attack speed and 2: It makes up for lack of basic attack damage. Soon after that build up to the cheap but useful clockwork. Glaive has long cooldowns and no energy recharge so this will help with both. For the optional slot adapt to what your enemies are doing. If you are doing fine I reccomend another Monocle or Tornado Trigger. If you arent doing enough damage a sorrowblade or a bonesaw is good to have. If you are dying quickly use the appropriate defense item.
Tips: Clockwork lets you use afterburn more effectively so use it. Your farm will be much better when you use this build so take advantage. You can flip the initial two items in the guide if you want. It wont affect it if you did tyrants monocle and then tornado trigger.

Glaive Crystal Top

You are going to be very squishy and not have very good sustain in a teamfight. You want to play more like an assassin so only do this if you don't have one on your team. You want to use afterburn as both offense and utility. Make sure you line up the enemy before you launch your attacks. After you use your abilities you be screwed homie. Cooldowns are still pretty long even with clockwork so make sure your use them to the fullest extent. I will add more later to this but I gotta go.

Ardan tank support Top

This build relies on gold from jungling with two people. You want to pair up with th other jungler and let him get last hits while you get first hits so you can get the bonus heal. The items in this build are nice and cheap so gold isn't huge. Your first item will be crucible for the health perk he has and for the team reflex block. It is cheap and also vital. Next you want to get fountain no matter what because of the awesome team heal, shield and other perks. After this you want to build up warhorn and your next defense at the same time. This defense item is situational. Warhorn gives farming perks, team speed, regen and cooldown acc. Your defense item for this is simple. Weapon? Atlas pauldron ot metal jacket. Too much CP build an aegis. If a friendly WP ally is getting shut down by armor get bonesaw for the team grind. Please like and leave a comment!

Ardan CP Support Top

This build is kinda for fun or can be used if you already have a slightly tanky person on your team. Jungle with and share gold with your ally jungler. You want to max your first two abilities for the spammable perks which helps your main damage dealer, aftershock. The rest are generic offense items and an alternating current for the damage and the atck. speed which makes blood for blood much better. The last item is of course situational. This build is mostly for fun but can be effective.

Ardan WP Support Top

This build is certainly less tanky than most but the amount of WP will make up for it. I suggest this big time if you notice that allies are building defense too. This means you don't have to crazy amounts of defense just to help your team. You want to build up to tension bow and Crucible at the same time so you can keep Ardan's natural health going up(and also for team RB). Next is Fountain of Renewal built up at the same time as Breaking Point. BP's attack speed help blood for blood and its long fight perks help Ardan do damage in those long team fights. The Build says contraption but honestly Warhorn works well too. It comes down to what you want. The last defense item is of course based on what the enemy is doing. I really enjoy this build and I think you will too.

Taka Wp Lifesteal King Top

This build mostly focuses on having more sustain than other taka builds. Your abilities in late game should be used as mobility more than your actual damage. Your damage should come from basic attacks. Tyrants Monocle is a great first item because it ties into his lifesteal perks. He also gets stack of Ki from Critical strikes. Tornado Trigger is nice bonus because of the attack speed and the critical damage and chance. Next is Serpent Mask. This is nice because of the WP and the lifesteal which stacks with his critical damage life steal. Everyone needs a defense item and so does taka. This is of course situational. Next is up to you. I recommend Sorrowblade but another Tyrants Monocle or Serpents mask is nice. This is a very standard build but it works so well against all enemies.

Taka CP burst King! Top

Hey Guys! Sorry I have been gone so long and haven't been able to update this guide. I am back with the completion of CP taka who has taken quite a rise in the meta recently. I will be completing all heros and then update older guides which will adjust to the meta. This is a lot of work so upvotes keep me motivated.
The key for CP taka is to burst people down disappear and wait for cooldowns. The amount of burst on CP taka is insane in late game but you must survive early game. CP taka is very weak before level 6. Grab your farm as quickly as possible and try to avoid jungle engagements. I would recommend getting a cheap stormguard banner to help clear your farm and maybe invade the enemy. Get your shatterglass and clockwork quickly, right after one another and then build towards Broken Myth. The alternating current next and then build situational defense. I would recommend building a tier 2 defense item rather early on but save the tier 3 for last. If Taka can make it to late game he will become a beast.

Breaking Point Taka! Top

Breaking Point Taka is the most popular Taka build out there, for good reason. When starting as BP taka you want to rush the tension bow and apply early game pressure. Abuse the tension bow and the stealth to burst down enemies, steak their farm and gank lane. Starve your enemies and get fed. Get the BP and defense for the late-game power and advance and force teamfights against your starved enemies. If your are smart you should weave in and out of battle and build BP stacks. The weakness of BP taka is that oftentimes his damage late-game is insufficient. If that is the case grab a Sorrowblade to compensate. Thanks!

Skaarf Regen Poke Top

Hey Guys! Welcome to the next hero on this build... Skaarf!!!! This build is one of the more popular ones right now and for good reason. The damage from the BM and EOH can burst people down and provide a crazy amount of regen. However this build wont be viable for long because they are nerfing EOH. In this build Skaarf doesn't have his damage until broken myth so farm as much as possible. Once you get the broken myth put a ton of pressure on the enemy and push. You need to be able to stutterstep because they WILL focus you. This build is great and has gotten me so many wins. Good luck!!
