I feel a lot of the threats are not true anymore since the update. Aftershock was buffed and now anyone building a crucible of/and silver steel gets crushed.

Seems versatile. I absolutely 100% suck with Ardan. His design does not match my playstyle at all, but I might give this build a try.

I needed more balance than some of the protector versions. Your Ardan helps keep the opponent off balance early and gives the ability to attack or protect. Well done!

My reasoning for breaking point is the melee buff in the last patch. However, it make work out better with bonesaw... I'll have to try that out some more. I think atlas is a must for ardan since your ult essentially locks the other hero in the ring with you, but in terms of other damage dealing or protection, I think there is some flexibility. Part of it will depend on how good you are at using your ult to split the enemy heroes into both in and out of the ring. For example, with heavy crystal builds by the enemy, it would be helpful to get something like aegis.

Sure no problem! Let me know how it works out.

I've been running a similar build, just with Warhorn instead of Atlas, and I really like the idea of using atlas as a sustain; I'll try that out next game.

About Breaking Point though, why that over Tornado Trigger? I like the more versatile improvements TT gives you, but if you can help me out with your reasoning on BP I might swap to that.

Never though of going that direction with ardan. I will try that out tonight. I usually got half WP half CP like an aftershock and tyrant's montacle, with crucible, and travel boots. Thanks for this.

You can still use a similar title, I don't have any claim or copyright on it :)

Yep; I use the halycon potions to separate out between what are the next items to purchase/upgrade and what has already been purchased. The reason is that if you are following my guide while playing, you want to be quick in the shops and not try to figure out what items to get next.

In regards to the weekly link; I don't control what items are listed - the blazing salvo is extra.

why is there builds with 7 items, you know there's only 6 right?

Y U STOLE MY GUIDE-IN-DEVELOPMENT TITLE!? :C
