Ardan ever. I do main
Ardan so this is the build I use when I play
Ardan, so you should trust this build with all your
Dragonheart! The reason why I main
Ardan? It's because everyone wants to instalock jungler/laner, so I cannot play as jungler/laner.
I recommend watching this video!:
Light Shield. If you bought a contract, go for
Oakheart, then next jungle clear, go for
Sprint Boots, then
Light Shield, and so on.
Oakheart if you got a contract, and the enemy jungler is going CP, I would've told the high elo players to go for
Light Shield. I didn't do this because I would have to add another item group, and explain it and I don't even do that, because you usually don't get enough time to see the enemy's items unless you infer that the enemy jungle is going for CP. Oakheart after you got an
Oakheart. I usually do this but it may cause too much confusion and miscommunication towards the viewers. I do this for the extra
Vanguard health barrier but you can also do this if the enemy jungle is going WP.
Ardan | Slot: Heroic Perk
Ardan | Slot: A | Cooldown: 13/13/13/13/13 | Energy Cost: 0/0/0/0/0
Ardan | Slot: B | Cooldown: 20 | Energy Cost: 0/0/0/0/0
Ardan | Slot: C | Cooldown: 110/100/90 | Energy Cost 0/0/0 Vanguard is your main way to keep your team alive. Always
Vanguard. If
Vanguard is not up and one teammate is low, I will use
Fountain of Renewal. Even though y Contraption, I usually use at max 2 charges on
Scout Traps and save 1 for
Flare Gun. When you are that late of the game, you need the
Flare Gun so the enemy does not gank you or attack.
Bonesaw, you want to do as many basic attacks on the carry with the most armour. So your weapon powered carry will do more damage to him. Also if you are tri-queueing and with some sort of voice communication, you want to tell your weapon powered carry to attack that enemy.
Aftershock will proc with your
Blood for Blood so you could smack them with a blue circle around your fist. Use
Aftershock+
Blood for Blood combo for the enemy carry with the most health (if you know but if you don't know, just hit one of them :P). Gauntlet to split 1 or 2 people inside and leave the rest outside. So the other enemy has to walk inside the
Gauntlet and stun themselves, now the one inside is dead, you use Wartreads while they are stunned, and chase down enemy. Use
Vanguard on carry to chase even further. Or
Shiversteel if you have one. Gauntlet is not up yet, and is very low, you could start the fight, and when the enemy team is low and running away, I like to estimate where my
Gauntlet wall is going to be, and estimate how fast the enemy is going and where, and I land the
Gauntlet just a little bit in front of me, then the enemy will run into the
Gauntlet since the
Gauntlet will be one centimetre away from enemy's face, getting stunned. Blood for Blood because it's the least valuable thing you have. Use
Blood for Blood any time if it's finished it's finished it's cooldown for extra damage. I also use it to get closer to the enemy because it is a gap closer. Crucible early so my
Vanguard can have 25% of
Crucible. Crucible, I then suggest you when you are in a teamfight, use both
Fountain of Renewal and
Crucible at the same time. It will negate some damage and your carries can heal up.
Skye and
Koshka). But you can also pick up a
Shiversteel if you want the extra health, which is what
Ardan is made of (and a fist and
Julia's Gift and punching and
Gauntlet ._.)
Crucible or
Shiversteel or warhorn. Also I really like the cooldown acceleration on
Aftershock so you can create more fights with
Gauntlet. And
Gauntlet usually gives you an advantage in the fight.
Bonesaw (dumb but if weapon-powered carry has
Bonesaw, you can help shred some armour.) and suddenly, the 3 rivals buy
Atlas Pauldron and
Metal Jacket. Now you can shred some of that armour! :D
Flares and
Scout Traps. And has great stats.
Flare and
Fountain of Renewal projectile speed is now faster! Easier to land
Fountain of Renewal and
Flare!
Lifespring has a new passive: After being out of combat with enemy heroes for 5 seconds, regenerate 2.5% of your missing health per second.
Crystal Infusion and
Weapon Infusions now only let you take one of them! Your choice! But I recommend
Weapon Infusion almost every time. Scout Traps now have a visual effect when being placed. Its not just a place on the ground, it looks cool and yeah... Protector Contract,
Dragonblood Contract,
Stormcrown,
War Treads,
Flare Gun! Protector Contract is one of the contracts which will give your ally a small health barrier. Dragonblood Contract is one of the contracts which can be activated and once activated it can mark nearby enemies which slows them and takes more crystal damage. Ironguard Contract got redone so now you don't need a contract for ambient gold and
Ironguard Contract will heal you and your teammate if a minion is killed.
Stormguard Banner now makes you use an ability before you get the true damage. You get 6 basic attacks dealing 75 damage to non-heroes and 20 to heroes for 6 seconds. Not very good item this update. You need an
Energy Battery to buy. Stormcrown is a tier 3 version of
Stormguard Banner which when you use an ability, it gives you 4 basic attacks in the next 6 seconds that deals 140 true damage to non-heroes and 35 to heroes. And it gives you cooldown speed, energy recharge, energy, and health. To buy, you need
Stormguard Banner, and
Chronograph. War Treads is now the new Warhorn! In boot form! Nearby allies get to sprint for 2 seconds with a 60 second cooldown, with 0.4 movement speed, with 500 health, and no
Stormguard Banner passive. To purchase, buy
Travel Boots and
Dragonheart. Flare Gun is a new item which allows you to place unlitmited
Flares every 18 seconds! Not very good against
Takas because the cooldown is very long. Contraption cooldown up from 3 to 5 seconds with 18 second cooldown each charge (3 charges max). No more health regeneration,
Stormguard Banner passive, +35% cooldown speed, +3 energy recharge, and a new recipe. Shiversteel now makes your basic attacks slow enemies, for 6 seconds, and every basic attacks slows for 1.2 seconds. And the cooldown down from 20 to 18. Travel Boots passive movement speed fown from 0.45 to 0.4, bonus health down from 200 to 100, and no more health regeneration. Chronograph's energy recharge per second up from 2.4 to 2.5. Aftershock has the same thing as [[chronograph] (I got 2 more to go so I'm lazy deal with it). Flare is renamed from
Flare Gun Ardan's basic attack damage down from 80-154 to 80-141 Gauntlet has now made itself so when the enemy's trying to dash through it, it will stop them (good thing because
Glaive and
Skye are so annoying). But the stun duration down from 1.2 seconds to 1 second (RIP). However crystal ratio is up from 250% to 350% (not very useful). Vanguard got his ratio up by 10%! I say that's a massive increase and
Ardan will be more meta this update than the last one. Blood for Blood has gotten a bug fixed! Stormguard Banner has returned to it's DPSness! Which is a better choice for
Ardan than last update. So has
Stormcrown. Flare Gun now has 2 charges! Another buff for me :D Contraption got his charge time up by 2 seconds, same thing as
Flare Gun. and cooldown speed up by 5%. Protector Contract,
Ironguard Contract,
Dragonblood Contract got buffed! But I still don't use it. Bonesaw's weapon power down from 30 to 15, armour shred changed from 7 stacks of 7% to 8 stacks of 6%, and duration of armour shred down from 6 to 3 seconds, then decay a stack every half-second. Looks like a nerf to me.
