Too bad this isnt something that anyone will take interest to, not bcuz of stupid calculations, but because of the vagueness of how damaging system works in ML. I love analysing shits in games, and trust me i could tell you almost instantly every magic or physical bonus a hero's skill gives with high accuracy. If you dont know what i mean about the vagueness of the damaging system, I was talking about physical and magic defense. As you can see even in this vid when he was talking about Terizla with Blade Armor vs Aldous, he only mentions Terizla's dmg reduction bcuz the calculation is obvious on that one, but doesnt include physical dmg reduction from physical armor cuz why? Cuz we dont even know 1 physical armor tanks how much physical dmg anyway Edit: forgot to include he also mentioned Twilight's passive 20%physical dmg reduction, which adds up to 50%reduction after adding 30% dmg reduction fromTerizla's passive while having 40%HP. But still yea, Terizla should take even lesser dmg if you also count his base physical defense and the one provided by Blade Armor

Brute force breastplate is one of my faves though. Even though it only gives less premium on base stats, the passive don't just give you extra Phy Def by extra Mgc Def too, that is on top of the extra mobility. It's my first choice of def items for non-tank if the enemy composition is quite balanced but I'm the type of marksman/fighter who will have at least 2 def items on my build. As a solo que player, I need to make my build more of a balance of offense and defense since I can't always trust my teammates.

What's your build? I need to know my friend

[@lorenzzz8630]

@@ygcode9454 if I'm against a physical mm or assassin, I rush warrior boots and dreadnaught. I then buy either hunter strike, dhs, or haas claws as a first full item (hunter strike against squishies and dhs if I'm against high regen) If I'm against a mage, I just buy boots (either not fully built or I turn it to tough boots. Tough boots doesn't have high magic res per gold but it can be useful against stuns) together with 2-3 of those yellow coat thingies that give +18 magic res. That should have roughly the same effect as buying warrior boots and dreadnaught but for mages. If it's not enough, buy more of the yellow things. They're so damn cheap it's insane The rest of the items are a combination of the three items I said above + blade of despair, malefic roar, golden staff, corrosion scythe (btw this item considers her shotgun as melee now), wind of nature, brute force, athena, immortality, winter truncheon, rose gold. Just pick from the list depending on the situation. All of those items are effective on her in some way (even winter truncheon). Core items would be some sort of lifesteal item, damage/penetration item, and an attack speed item (if you get dhs, you tick off 3 out of 4 requirements). After that, go defense or even more damage. My typical first two full items are hunter strike and dhs. Gives me the ability to fight anyone in most games. You might need different items depending on your playstyle and situation

Idk, but Hylos has 2 Main items that are super important for him and super effective and like enchance him more on the Game. Dominance ice, is like himself. The passive, mana, cd reduction, attack speed slow. But more better with him. So, it's a Yes. It also benifits to Belerick, Uranus, Atlas, Khufra. Almost mostly of Tank, Support and makeshifted tank heroes. Twiglight, is his next main item. He's a Punching bag and also the Passive of Twilight actually benifits from the Health pool mana of Hylos which can make it to like 6000-7000 health for only 2 Items alone. It's also your main fool proof counter against Atk. Speed Marksmans with the Crit reduction+DI passive+Hylos 2nd. The marksman is literally has no Atk. Speed.
