The reason for not overdriving the stun is because in the 1.9 version of vainglory the stun time is reduced also the fact that I haven't used and defensive items means that the overdrive in
Stormguard will give you some decent protection since you can essentially keep it on at all times also the overdrive on the bubble now reflects back 25% more damage in 1.9.
In team fights stun the person who is most dangerous so they are taken out of the team fight for a second while your team mates can concentrate on the other heroes. A good eye for stunning hero ultimates like
Ringo
Hellfire Brew,
Skaarf
Dragon Breath,
Adagio
Verse of Judgement,
Joule
Big Red Button,
Rona Red Mist and if you're quick enough you can stun another
Catherine
Merciless Pursuit,
SAW
Suppressing Fire,
Skye
Forward Barrage,
Koshka
Yummy Catnip Frenzy,
Celeste
Solar Storm,
Ardan
Gauntlet. There are many other things you can stun aswell but here are a few examples plus you get satisfaction from stopping these abilities :D.
It's easy to start taking on 1v1 and 1v2 however 1v3 will spell doom unless you have build enough armor and shield with your ability. 1v1 is simple just keep stunning and building those stacks and if the enemy is an assassin then activate
Stormguard before you initiate and activate it again if they run off(this is for the taka players who use
Kaku and disappear, it ensures you don't die so easily). 1v2 is more difficult you will have to start running away a bit so you don't take the full force of their attacks and try to keep stormguard up as much as possible, stun the hero with the most threat to you. keep stunning and use blast tremor to stop them using abilities. 1v3 = pile of roasted meat
This build is offensive because of spammable abilities. when initiating use
Blast Tremor then
Merciless Pursuit then
Stormguard. If you do get left behind by your team and you do get stunned or slowed you can still activate
Stormguard if it's not already active.
Since you have a
Contraption/
Stormguard Banner try and take out the enemy turrets if you can(1.9 has allowed the banner to affect the turrets again yay!) The
Contraption should be build as early as possible because it helps you and benefits your team GREATLY. start placing mines everywhere so that you can slowly start gaining whole map coverage and if an enemy steps over one of the mines you can stun them while they take full damage and get highlighted by the mine.
if there are enemies on low hp and they are going into sight of turrets you can run away or use
Stormguard to kill them since the bubble deals burn damage. it's better to use your bubble than auto attack because auto attack stops movement unless you can tap to attack and tap away again to stop the animation so you keep moving with them.
in late game just use
Merciless Pursuit as a pair of boots and just use it for the movement speed since it will have roughly a 4-5 sec cd.
All threats highlighted above from other heroes aren't really threats if they're stunned silenced and have damage reflected back at them. Saws shank can kill himself if you keep your
Stormguard up. Kruls spectral smite can also be reflected and you can make him kill himself with it.
This build is for late game and works well because of low cd of abilities and stacking of your heroic perk. The clockwork becomes more effective the more you have. Don't forget to keep going into the lane or jungle to stun and silence your enemies to keep building your passive. Many would rather have special effects or passives which comes with certain items or even build crystal to give their team a better chance of killing the enemies since more every little bit of damage helps, however my logic is that what if you miss that all important silence or stun and that leads your team to failure and defeat because of that? This build helps you to overcome that so you can spam your silence(it's Area of effect AND silences for 3 seconds).
I stress building your Heroic perk because you will have no defense when soaking up damage for your team and you'll get killed easily which isn't what you want. Your heroic perk is the thing which will stop you getting destroyed. Being dead will not support your team xD so build that perk up :D, also longer stretched out battles are better for this build.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
I have yet to lose a ranked match with this set up. No matter if my team mates aren't doing so well you can pull up your side of the team and get a win by lowereing the hp of enemies with stun and burn damage from your bubble, then letting your team mates finish the job.
if anyone wishes to add me on vainglory my name is thefatone
