Vampire vs. Werewolf vs. Mortal

You are playing a mortal for this build. Werewolf doesnt offer us anything we need for the build since it takes up an ultimate slot where we have better choices, and vampire, while not a bad choice, will make us a bit too susceptible to fire damage. Vampire is a good choice though if you feel you’re struggling to sustain, but I personally dont run it.

Champion Points

The list below showcases the order in which champion points should be acquired, the number of points you need to place into that perk and whether or not it needs to be slotted in the CP bar. The Warfare CP perks increase your damage and mitigation and are the most important, the Fitness tree has some miscellaneous sustain and defensive perks and the Craft tree has crafting and non-combat bonuses. The Craft CP points are entirely customizable to however you want, or you can follow the list below.

Resource Management & Rotation

LA = light attack

The best way to play this build is with a dynamic rotation, using Blastbones every time it explodes, applying all DoTs and re-applying them right before they fall off, and if neither of those things need to be done using Venom Skull. However, if you’re looking for a more static rotation, this is what I would recommend:

• Use Barbed Trap pre-fight, and then start on your back bar:
• LA, Skeletal Archer, LA, Avid Boneyard+Synergy, LA, Endless Hail, LA, Poison Injection, swap bar.
• LA, Blastbones, LA, Deadly Cloak, LA, Venom Skull, LA, Blastbones, LA, Detonating Siphon, LA, Venom Skull, LA, Blastbones, LA, Barbed Trap, swap bar.

Note: Maintain Skeletal Archer to keep passive active, and maintain Deadly Cloak to keep damage from skill.

Use your Detonating Siphon and refresh the skill whenever it is ready.

Use your Colossus whenever you have enough ultimate
