1. Rush Contraption for vision/map control
2. Try to get a Fountain of Renewal RIGHT AFTER for extra regeneration from the active for your whole team
3. Just try to get as tanks as possible that they are afraid of you
4. Lvl 8 is where you begin to be a threat in team fights because of the new stun on Quibble
5. Boots are essential for Phinn, because he is naturally slow
6. An Atlas Pauldron is necessary to counter Weapon SAW, Krul, and Glaive
7. The Shiversteel will help you keep enemies where you want them if you remember to activate it
8. The Tornado Trigger will increase the effectiveness of your Shiversteel and help you do more damage
9. If you achieve full build, get as many infusions as possible(prioritizing Crystal Infusion), but don't try to farm, if a team fight breaks out, go there immediately!
NOTE: Forced Accord IS KEY TO WINNING TEAMFIGHTS! MAKE SURE TO USE IT TO INITIATE AND PULL IN LOW ENEMIES ONLY!!!

Standing on top of your jungler will make it harder for your opponents hit them.
Building a Fountain of Renewal will change the outcome of team fights. It heals nearby allies when activated, so save it for when either all of your team's health less than half, or if you can heal a low ally who is getting chased.
In that case, use Polite Company to draw in the chasing enemies. If that is not enough, use Forced Accord to make sure they are away from your low ally and distracted by you.

The reason why I chose Contraption is because I found that, no matter what, if you use Forced Accord sparingly, which I do with this build, the Warhorn is not needed.
In my opinion, vision, map control, and overwhelming your opponents with lots of well placed Scout Traps is better than securing 1 or 2 kills.
Placing Scout Traps, therefore revealing where your opponents are at certain moments, is vital to winning a match. For example, if you and your team are going for the Kraken or Gold Mine and all of the other team aren't dead, using a Flare Gun from the Contraption or placing a Scout Trap in their Tri bush can be the deciding factor in who captures the objective.
Someone may argue that a support can just buy Scout Traps and Flare Guns to do the exact same thing, but buying a lot of Scout Traps and Flare Guns can be expensive, and a Contraption also gives an Area Of Effect to your basic attacks.
I hope this gives you faith in my choice to put a Contraption in this guide.

Only use Forced Accord to reel in escaping enemies and set up a fight by pulling in their main damage dealer.
The other side to that is that you can run from your low-life ally and use Forced Accord to pull the enemy away from your ally. The down side to this is that if you miss, your ally is most likely dead meat.
Missing Forced Accord isn't that bad because some of the recharge time is given back to you when you miss, but only if you overdrive it. You have to wait a long amount of time for it to be available again.
Try this Combination: Use Forced Accord to reel in an opponent, use Quibble to slow them, and then use Polite Company to keep them near you.
A sneaky little strategy that you will most likely see from other Phinns is that, if an enemy dives a turret to kill an ally, you pull them towards a turret and away from the ally, killing them, or, if not, making them take massive damage.
Using and successfully hitting Quibble is Phinn's main source of damage and will help win fights, especially if it stuns, which happens when you overdrive it.

Polite Company has 2 uses:
1. Buff your allies with bonus health, Shield, and Armour
2. Pull in enemies (Is more effective if overdriven)
The Buffs for your allies are increased by your stats. Your health increases the bonus health, your armour increases the armour your teammates gain, and your shield increases the amount of shield your allies gain.
The pull is helpful for distracting enemies, pulling enemies into the range of your allies, and doing AOE (Area of Effect) Damage to the enemy team.

Tornado Trigger
The Tornado Trigger is to help speed up your attack speed and, therefore, damage output.

Breaking Point
The Breaking Point is to make you bigger help in fights. If the opposing team is smart they will attack your Jungler or Laner instead of you, so it will give you time to build up your stacks and, therefore, your damage. I recommend trying a Breaking Point on another character to get used to it before attempting it on Phinn

Aftershock
The Aftershock is to decrease your ability cool downs, and give you a little bit of life-steal.

Shatterglass
The Shatterglass is to help your Quibble do more damage.

Shiversteel
The Shiversteel is to help make your opponents as slow as you. =)

Crucible
The Crucible is to counteract Area Of Effect stuns like Joule's Rocket Leap or Adagio's Verse of Judgement.

Atlas Pauldron
The Atlas Pauldron it a good defence against any hero building WP. If you still aren't tanky enough, that is when you build towards a Metal Jacket. If you are playing against a Krul or SAW, keep the Atlas Pauldron for the attack speed de-buff to counter them.

Metal Jacket
The only reason why I put a Metal Jacket into their guide is because of Polite Company. It gives your allies a buff in armour, shield and gives temporary health, the Metal Jacket will increase the effectiveness of Polite Company when used in a fight with an opponent who is building WP. A support other than Phinn who builds a Metal Jacket is what I like to call a 'Selfish Support.' The Metal Jacket only helps them, not their team, that is why a Metal lJacket is bad for most supports.

Make sure to put extra importance on getting a Contraption when playing against a Taka.
If you see the Taka use his Kaku, immediately use the Contraption to flare where the Taka was, because if you do it in time, he won't be invisible for the duration of his Kaku.
Doing this is extremely important, because the difference between exposing the Taka and not exposing them is quite likely the win of the team fight or saving one of your teammates' lives.
If your team can hit the Taka, then they will die a lot sooner, not pick off a teammate or 2, and give you some gold. Just make sure to hit him and not one of their teammates instead!
Don't worry about being accurate with flaring the Taka, the range of a flare is surprisingly big!

Hey you! Yeah, you!
