I surely respect your playstyle as Ardan, and I like "High and Low Elo builds" option too. However, the colored text makes it uncomfortable for me to read each sentance, that's the only downside I've found so far. Great guide otherwise.

1st of all - great guide - well done
only 2 comments - against double WP opponents I often use MJ as 2nd def item and against double CP I use Aegis rather than AP - but as you said it'S all situational

Can I change aftershock to clockwork? Like for getting more assist instead

Cool. Just realized that Fountain of renwal is what ive been missing. (What a noob mistake)

Couldn't help but notice how you slammed my use of Aftershock.
Since you have Contraption in your build, it would be wiser for you to use some other item for damage, since cintraption is a cooldown item. On the other hand, my build uses warhorn instead of Contraption, which is why I decided to add some cooldown to it. Aftershock synergizes well with Blood for Blood and can be used as a team support item, since it also gives me my Vanguard faster. The lifesteal from it is more for when Ardan health gets low, and he's taking only 25% damage because of julias gift. The lifesteal from aftershock makes it to where he fully ignores some attacks when his health gets low.
