Threat Hero Notes
1
 Celeste Though she can stun you out of your ultimate... Your ult barely does damge your WP ADAGIO remember that. She has no escape mechanism slow her than activate Agent of Wrath=She's dead..
2
 Petal Her minions are irritating, use Gift of Fire=Arcane Fire will lower the minions health kill them and Petal will struggle to make a comeback. If she explodes them before you can kill them, if you can tank the damage chase like hell and if you can't spam more Gift of Fire and head for the nearest ally.
2
 Skaarf Though basically Celeste's character twin. Her burn takes down the same amount of damage your Arcane Fire did and its easier for her to light you on fire and she can renew the flame. Take advantage desperately attempt to dodge the first fireball, perhaps with boots than go right in with Agent of Wrath and chase after her with your basic attacks.
3
 Adagio With this build should destroy CP Adagio and Support Adagio. Beware of CP Adagio's Verse of Judgement.
4
 Ardan There's no way for him to tank the arcane fire damage, but beware the gauntlet if you need activate Gift of Fire than Verse of Judgement. The Gauntlet should be over by than.
4
 Kestrel Adagio's heals are enough to survive her arrows. After that she's useless, keep on dodging and pursue her.
4
 Phinn Honestly though Phinn is sometimes my favorite character to against mainly because of his ult. He pulls you in, your like damn I'm dead but instead as WP Adagio you activate Gift of Fire, reflex block and use Verse of Judgement to stun everyone. Then Agent of Wrath and with your teammates help they should be low enough to die to your basic attacks. Watch out for his stun when he overdrives Quibble does a fair amount of damage for a support. Without teammates kind of useless late game.
5
 Koshka Yummy cat nip frenzy, her only ability that can cause harm just slow with Gift of Fire and than spam your basic attacks.
5
 Skye Her mobility will make you kind of angry when trying to land your Verse of Judgement. Though so many WP Adagio's think their ult is still going to do damage. Just use the ult for the stun, reminder=IT DOESN'T DO DAMAGE. She'll Forward Barrage, Suri Strike then Forward Barrage make sure your ready to block her Death from Above. Try to slow him remove his mobility and than spam your basic attacks.
6
 Krul SO SLOW, check brushes with flares, good Krul's will build up their passive then slow you and then after he gets 4 plus Spectral Smite stacks on your you're toast. Reflex block Hell's heart and he can't even chase.
6
 Ozo He'll probably build Serpent's Mask and Fountain because of his passive and he will be incredibly annoying to kill. Has a few chasing abilities to make him more mobile, constantly try to heal with Gift of Fire and slow him enough to kite after he's expended all of his abilities.
6
 Vox WP VOX=Burst-Slow him right away than instantly take out your Verse of Judgement to stun him so he can't burst anybody down. CP VOX=EVERYONE DIES-uhhhhh attempt to use your Verse of Judgement before everyone on your team dies. Pray you have an early game character to bully him out of lane or jungle or else late game he'll melt. Though is generally pretty squishy and will perish after a few basic attacks.
7
 Blackfeather He can chase extremely well, when he uses Feint of Heart, slow with Gift of fire than Agent of Wrath.
7
 Fortress Another great at chasing down, if CP Fortress beware of burst bleed and use Gift of Fire to weaken the damn wolves before killing them..
7
 Rona WP Adagio is mostly about kiting, such as Ringo but Rona has a massive leap that can clear walls and has a weird sword speed boost. Beware if the enemy Rona has a shiversteel if she activates it on you and catches you inside her tornado of death your dead. Though if you can escape it all her abilities have been used up and easy kites.
8
 Joule Can stun you out of nowhere, and a CP Joule can basically instakill you with her ult.
8
 SAW Even though he can't run from you 1v1 WP Saw will destroy you anyday. Attempt to sliver his health down with the Arcane Fire from Gift of Fire otherwise wait for a teammate that can easily land a stun and then go in. If facing CP Saw get ready to reflex block or you'll probably be instakilled by Roadie Run.
8
 Taka Kaku the most hated ability of all time though for adagio unless you don't build any defense(YOUR STUPID)he won't be able to burst you down and without his abilities he's kind of useless. Let his abilities go and slow him with Gift of Fire than stalk him down really fast.
9
 Glaive Can stun you out of your ult, put you in terrible positions and cause massive WP damage, avoid early game and late game try to kite.
9
 Reim His constant poking makes him incredibly annoying especially since its like impossible to kite him because of his passive. Then he'll root you down spam more Winter Spire's and finish you off with his ult when your fleeing. AVOID unless you have another bursty teammate. Avoid having your tank absorb Reim's damage because it just gives him more fortified health.
10
 Catherine Her shield can basically reflect all the damage from your basic attacks and she can stun you right out of Verse of Judgement.
10
 Ringo Early game can absolutely harass the heck out of you with constant Twirling Silver and Achilles Shot combinations even later game his attack speed is faster than yours even with Tornado Trigger. Avoid 1v!s whenever possible and always engage with your team. By the time you've hit him with Gift of Fire he'll have popped a few shots at you taking you down super quickly.

Item Analysis! Top

Sorrowblade: THE MAIN SOURCE OF DAMAGE FOR EVERY WP Carry. No Sorrowblade barely any base damage on basic attacks. You can have 6 Tyrant's Monocole's but 5 and 1 Sorrowblade would do much better (don't actually build that please).

Serpent's Mask: Gives you that extra incentive to stay in the lane instead of teleporting back, also helpful to pick up that Book of Euologies earlier to stay healthy while in lane because early game your prone to ganks. Also means you don't have to rely on the pathetic WP heal from Gift of Fire to keep you alive.

Tornado Trigger: Makes Adagio's wings flap really f***t (they look really funny xD)and overall fantastic item. Fits well with Tyrant's Monocole.

Tyrant's Monocole: Better Crit Chance and more Crit damage paired with the 20% from Tornado Trigger half the time you'll get a burst of damage and take out those pesky "carries".

Journey Boots: Seriously is this really a surprise? Since this is my first build I'll tell you guys why.... To chase after people (duhhh), to run away from people (duhh), to get that random speed boost every minute or so (duhhh) and GET SOME FREAKING HEALTH, ARMOR AND SHIELD ALL IN ONE FREAKING ITEM.

Aegis: Aegis against Crystal. Some people ask if they have a WP carry and CP which do I build defense for? Unless it's a ringo, saw or krul and you need to build Atlas Pauldron. I'd say build Aegis which is what I do 90% of the time. If a jungle CP Celeste was doing just as much harm as a WP Ringo carry, I'd build the Aegis for the 200+ health and that very handy reflex block that you don't get if you buy Metal jacket.

Optional:
Crucible: 500 Health and Reflex Blocks all around what's not to like?

Metal Jacket: If it's a double weapon comp or the main carry is WP

Shiversteel: Can help you stick to those extremely slippery heroes that like to poke.

Bonesaw: As soon as you start stacking the Sorrowblade and Tyrant's Monocole, if they all build defense which would suck if you picked up a bonesaw and had a good support, stay alive long enough to get the stacks and your back to OP. BAM! Or replace Tornado Trigger with the Bonesaw if they are Joule or Catherine because of their base armor.
What's WP Adagio best at?
- Targeting a single enemy and bursting him down with crits and basic attacks.
- Not bad at AOE slows and stun.

Tips for playing as WP Adagio Top

Team Fight Strategies!

Basic attacks: Your main source of damage, usually silencing Adagio can be devastating for a CP Adagio but WP nope your main damage is still coming from your basic attacks and them only.

Arcane Fire: Try to light as many enemy heroes as you can with Arcane Fire, it may not seem like a lot of damage but it wears them down and also helps you hugely in last hitting the minions.

Gift of Fire: Playing as WP Adagio in a teamfight Gift of Fire won't heal you more than your normal regen will activate it on the member of your team that's in the middle of all the action. It'll slow everyone and provide that extra ticking damage from Arcane Fire to give you that little advantage.

Agent of Wrath: Probably your most important ability as WP Adagio, it'll only give you a bit more WP damage but that can be the gamechanger once the late game team fights start happening.

Verse of Judgement: MAKE SURE EVERYONE ON THE OPPOSITE TEAM IS BURNING WITH ARCANE FIRE BEFORE YOU ACTIVATE VERSE OF JUDGEMENT. OR IF JUST THE LANE AND JUNGLE CARRIES ARE LIT THAT'S ALSO OK. Use your boots to plant your self in the middle of the fight than use Gift of Fire on yourself or your teammates it doesn't really mater and use Verse of Judgement. To get that little bit of AOE damage and the most important part the AOE stun which can turn a whole teamfight around if used properly. REMEMBER IT DOESN'T DO THAT MUCH DAMAGE YOUR NOT CP ADAGIO!

Tips for playing against WP Adagio Top

Team Fight Strategies!

Basic attacks: If they build correctly than he'll be a menace build Metal Jacket and pray to god that your support builds Atlas Pauldron.

Gift of Fire: You won't even know when he activated it because the heal is so little with WP though don't go to close when you're hit with Arcane Fire because of the possible stun from Verse of Judgement.

Agent of Wrath: Again unless you pay extremely close attention to the particles probably won't notice unless late game he picks up a crystal infusion to maximize his damage.

Verse of Judgement: DEFINITELY NOT WORTH REFLEX BLOCKING! Unless your hit with arcane fire, either hope one of your teammates stun him or just reflex block because his stun is kind of irritating with its length.

BEST TEAM COMP WITH AN WP ADAGIO Top

ADAGIO WP LANE CARRY: STRAIGHT UP PURE BASIC ATTACK DAMAGE!

KOSHKA CP JUNGLE CARRY: To help compensate for WP Adagio's extremely weak early game by forcing the enemy team out of their jungle and allowing Adagio to farm without worry of being ganked.

ARDAN UTILITY ROAM CARRY: His Vanguard gives that tiny speed boost for Adagio since he doesn't really have any escape mechanism either than his Gift of Fire slow which is kind of unreliable. Is also great at tanking hits if against a Skaarf, Skye or Kestrel in lane.
