[@Sussy_Boy625]

Quick question, does aldous first skill attack count as a “skill” that can apply spell vamp?

[@kierzsenpai3542]

​@@Sussy_Boy625 that question is good, the punch itself is a physical lifesteal but the AoE dmg I don't know.... If you don't know aldous' 1st skill is considered as dash skill I noticed it when my enemy Aldous uses 1st skill and punch, my Phoveus' passive triggered(reduce cooldown if the enemy uses dash skill). Also it is a enhanced basic attack so skills and item with immune to basic attack works.

Props to you for actually talking about cost efficiency in this game. Also fun fact: Dominance Ice reduces Terizla's physical attack because of his passive. So Dominance and Antique can really gut his damage and sustain capabilities.

[@RubyRubyRubyGaming]

Terizla sadge. Don't say it too loud or Terizla mains will be hunting for you 😂

[@nevergivegonnaupyou6321]

it will not unless you build attack speed build on Terizla, His passive indicates only "extra" attack speed that convert to dmg. Same as Kimmy's passive which also converts "extra" attack speed to Movement speed. And to be fair, Sea Halbeard is useful for Terizla which provide attack speed might be affected by dominance Ice.

[@dabasil]

Terizla main here, i can confirm dominance ice is our kryptonite, half heal and lower damage :(

@Never give gonna up you Nope. I tested it out and it still reduces his AD by 70% even without having any sources of attack speed.

Drafting is only good if you have a 5 man team but if you only play solo you just have to rely on your main Hero.

[@PawcioFski]

I'm quite new with the game. Barely 2nd month in progress. Yet, when I'm trying to compare any kind of guide created by either your guide video seems far superior in terms of quality, dedication and usefulness towards either a new player like myself or someone of above knowledge towards this game. I will definetely spread the content as much as I'll be able to. There is a difference when a content creator makes a guide compared to someone that releases cuts and pieces of some random game they had... 10/10

I'll keep trying to make better content so you guys can enjoy the game along with the videos 😄

[@kazen16]

I think what a lot of players don't understand is the timing and efficiency of building items... You did a great example of building 2 yellow robe if ur thinking of building multiple mdef items. Another is building items so late like Athena shield if youre outpaced by the enemy burst hero he/she will still one shot you still. This is the reason people need to learn mid item and not just straight up let the AI do the buying and building. It involves a little bit macro.

[@RubyRubyRubyGaming]

Yeah, 2x Yellow Robe is really efficient since no other Magic Defense item even comes close to it's level of efficiency. It's like spending $2 and getting a huge lobster 🤣 You got the idea right for sure on the timing and efficiency stuff. Did you study economics? 😇

[@thisisz]

This is some incredible detail. Thank you for this guide!

[@RubyRubyRubyGaming]

Thank you 💛

[@xanecosmo5061]

7:14 Fun fact: Terizla converts his attack speed into physical attack. If you reduce his attack speed, his attack is lowered instead. Like wise, Terizla will gain physical attack if he builds attack speed boots.

[@yjxmogo8850]

blade armour calculations are only done on the additional damage that crit damage deals. In most cases, a crit damage deals double of a normal attack, so the 20 percent crit dmg reduction will only apply on the 100 percent of the original attack damage (which is 10 percent of the entire damage dealt). The reason why the number is still a little off is that as defense increases, damage would fall of a little more

[@yotsugiononoki9995]

749 to 687, and 787 to 721 (×2.2÷2.4) I'm pretty sure the reduction is calculated in a similar way as the bonus of berserker's fury so it went 2+0.4-0.2

[@RubyRubyRubyGaming]

Yeah, adapting to the ever-changing situation in match is very important. In my head, I really need to make an itemization theory guide so all of us can use whatever information we have gained from this video and apply it to our games!

This is a very detailed video! ❤ It helps players to be more informed with the mechanics of items, to know the proper items to buy in different situations and know when to do so! Just a note though, and no offense, I love your videos! Oracle's passive only works for the hero who bought the item and its passive effect will not take effect on allies when you heal them. That's why Estes' healing on Layla was exactly the same regardless of whether or not he has Oracle. In order for Estes' healing to increase for allies, they will have to be the ones to buy Oracle instead of him!

[@24789tibbaRetihWsairemeortslA.]

Hello Good Evening Friends I'm from Philippines, Based on my opinion as a Student who played almost 9k matches and playing as multirole and solo player. Athena Shield- I usually build this item against those heroes who have burst magic damage. And another thing: I usually build this item because, I got mad to those who love to ambush. Example: Like Eudora who hides on the bushes and after she kill me, spamming recall fuck and I hate that thing. Weakness of Athena Shield: -High Magic Penetration Items that can make lower the magic defense and reduce it. By this way it will make magic power deal it's total big amount of magic damage. -Just throw the magic skill/basic attack at them, after triggering the passive of Athena Shield you have a five seconds to strike and have an opportunity to kill them but sometimes they can survive by having a 1-10% remaining hp. How to know that thing: try to use gusion as an experiment hero in custom mode/practice mode. Then throw your first skill of gusion at the enemy who have build anthena shield. If you see the violet ring that's the indicator that Anthenas Shield Passive has triggered. After the violet ring disappeared that's your 5 seconds opportunity time to deal a magic damage that may kill them because Athena Shields role is to resist to survive against the burst magic damage only like eudora, Eudora have only 1 combo to kill you, the combo it takes only few seconds to kill you and Athena resist it by its passive. Radiant Armor- For me this item can help you to survive from continues magic damage/ Sustained Damage Per Seconds. But also this item can't help you against heroes who have burst magic damage with sustained damage per seconds like pharsa, gusion and other like that. But also this item can only help you against low magic damage/sustained damage per seconds heroes like gloo and other heroes like that. Weakness of Radiant Armor: -Magic Penetration items: Arcane boots, Genius Wand, and Devine Glaive. -High Magic Power Items -If your using this item radiant armor, heroes like pharsa and gusion that having a sustained damage per seconds and also have a burst magic damage, you may survive or may be killed. If you using this item as marksman or mage or assassin you will take 75% or more damage, if you are fighter 50% or more and if you are support less than 50% and if your tank you will take 25% or more. Oracle- for me it helps me a lot as a support user and sustained heroes user. Weakness of oracle: -Anti heal/shield/regen items: like Necklace of Durance, Sea Halberd, and Dominance. -Anti Heal/Shield/Regen hero: Baxia. -Magic Penetration items: Arcane boots, Genius Wand, and Devine Glaive. Curse Hell met - for me it helps me to deal extra damage to enemy as a tank heroes. If you noticed my grammars are wrong, Sorry because I'm not good at english so much, that's why I'm saying this... Sorry again.

[@kannaeatinggun5571]

Usually, The item is based on your character weakness and enemy lineup, if theres a gusion jungle on the enemy and youre using grock, best bet is to buy 2 magic cloak and a hp crystal asap, since those items are T1, you can slowly work one to a radiant armor. those items alone would provide you bit more time and sustainability to survive gusion full combo

[@kannaeatinggun5571]

Dont look at every enemy youre going to deal with at the Early game, build defense based of what is a threat to you before dealing with the other threat

[@RubyRubyRubyGaming]

In a way, yes, there should be a holistic approach in the itemization against a certain line-up. The amount of computations on what's optimal is kinda crazy to calc, but in general, an optimal approach would be to build efficiently against enemies you'd regularly encounter that are strong in the early game first in order to improve survivability against them. Building against an enemy you're less likely to encounter, is IMO, at the very least sub-optimal.

[@mindreader12]

Which armor do you prefer against high atck spd heroes, blade armor or dominance ice? Great details and the visuals looks clean and well taught. This deserve more views. Kudos!

[@kierzsenpai3542]

I prefer dominance ice. Blade armor has high defence stats and that's it, it's unique effect is not good enough but dominance can reduce HP regen(commonly high attk SPD heroes at least has a lifesteal items), can lower attack speed and it has decent armor

[@RubyRubyRubyGaming]

Thank you for the compliments! 💛 If I had to choose only 1, probably Dominance Ice, like what @kierzsenpai3542 mentioned. Dom Ice just wins out in overall utility for me. But, if you're playing tank, you 100% won't go wrong just buying both 🙃

[@MoobWorld]

Asking as a mage main, is Genius Wand + Divine Glaive better in late game when all enemies are equipped with Athena's Shield and have 100+ magic defense, or would Glowing Wand + Divine Glaive be more effective? Or perhaps Calamity Reaer + Divine Glaive? (Since Calamity Reaper's passive allows mages to deal 120% Magic Damage as True Damage with their next basic attack after using a skill or doing their combo. Or is there a better item combination to counter Athena's Shield?

[@RubyRubyRubyGaming]

Aye, this is probably something that is more complicated since Glowing Wand depends on enemy's HP, and there's more to these calculations since it also depends on the uptime your specific hero can get from Glowing Wand. Similarly, it also depends how often the hero can trigger Calamity Reaper's passive. So this will largely depend on what hero you use, and how often you can trigger those passives.

The reason why blade armor doesn't actually give you a 20% damage reduction is that it reduces the enemy's crit dmg stat, which starts at 200% (except for Lesley) and goes to 240% with Berserker's fury. So, the actual reduction is from 240 to 220 instead of 100 to 80; and 20/240 is indeed 8% actual damage reduction.

This video helped me a lot thank you very much

[@RubyRubyRubyGaming]

Glad to hear it!

[@yengchai]

Great video. Just to add, twilight armour has to combo with the double helmet. The higher your hp, the better. It definitely allows you to tank alot of hits from Lesley with DoI as well. I played Balmond (tank/jungler) oh boy the blade armour doesn't help at all. I sold that off for twilight armour. It tanks better. I sold off immortality too. Whats the point of second life if she will jst one shot your 2nd life. Lol.

[@RubyRubyRubyGaming]

Aye, Twilight Armor passive scales with extra HP, so it helps to have the Double Helmet Combo Wombo (say it together now 1... 2... 3). Yeah, Blade Armor does nothing against Lesley's True Dmg, and the HP from Double Helmet also helps tank even more True DMG. It honestly depends on the game situation though, bc of Twilight's super high CD of 5s, unless Lesley is constantly being forced back, she's gonna push in normal Physical Dmg too, which Blade Armor will be superior for. If you have the space, probably get both.

[@yengchai]

@@RubyRubyRubyGaming I dont think she got time (she was in full crit build without malefic roar) to respond to the Twilight armour switch because the moment I swith to those build, Lesley got overconfident (because she killed me twice 1v1) and she tried solo 1v1 again. Well, she got owned and we push to end the game. XD I may need to check the replay if she had Malefic roar when I had the Blade Armour..

[@actuallyfrieza9376]

At 9:30, when talking about blade armor, you say the crit damage isn actually reduced by 20%, but it actually is. Crit shots deal 200% of your physical attack as damage, and there you built berserker fury which boosts them to 240%, but blade armor reduces it to 220%. If you calculate it 1191 ÷ 240% * 220% is equal to 1092, so the damage is consistent.

[@RubyRubyRubyGaming]

Yes, that's true. I realised that after many people telling me about the calculations. I do still think many people expect the total damage when crit occurs to reduce damage by 20% tho. It's a technicality for sure. 8% reduction can still be useful

[@actuallyfrieza9376]

@@RubyRubyRubyGaming it can be more than 8% dmg reduction against heroes like Lesley and Ling that have lower crit base damage (140% if I'm not mistaken, instead of 200%). But still guardian helmet and twilight armor are preferable against Lesley

[@tinuwu_1]

This is a good guide for beginners that would like to understand defence items a little better. One minor inaccuracy you made was regarding the mention of Guardian's Helmet. Minions and creeps are two different entities. You should have mentioned that the reduced regeneration only applies to getting attacked by heroes and creeps, while minions do not reduce the passive healing when hit by them. Although not in the section of defence items, you could have mentioned something on Wind of Nature, Winter Truncheon, and Rose Gold Meteor. These items have their defensive capabilities too just like all the other items mentioned in your video. Considering you included two boots, it should be okay to include the above mentioned items into this video as well. Overall, you made a great comparison video of defence items. Good job and I am looking forward to your future content. Cheers uwu

[@RubyRubyRubyGaming]

A fair and critical comment, thank you for that! Actually, enemy minions do affect the passive regen for Guardian Helmet. Just to make sure, I went into Training Camp and tested it again on 3 different heroes, and I'm defo not getting full regen from Guardian's Passive when getting hit by minions. So I'll have to correct your correction here. 😅 Yeah, those items could have been included, but I kinda wanted to keep the video under 20 mins. Didn't want to bore you guys over that time limit 🤣 In hindsight, I probably should have put those in tho, like you said. Cheers, and I really appreciate the feedback! 💛

[@tinuwu_1]

​@@RubyRubyRubyGaming Oh, is that right? Apologies for the mistake hahaha Usually when I clear waves with Guardian's Helmet, it's not obvious that the reduced regeneration is applied since the aggro is usually on your own minions. So I probably never realised that. Understandable that you wanted to keep the video not too long in length. Thank you for the reply!

[@RubyRubyRubyGaming]

No worries my friend! It all adds to the discussion. 😎

[@jmaikeru]

this is super awesome!😍 i would love to watch your attack guide!

[@RubyRubyRubyGaming]

Working on it! 💛

[@MoobWorld]

Also, another tip! Antique Cuirass' passive can stack multiple times when all allies have bought it. This way, you can more effectively reduce all physical damage taken from enemies!

[@RubyRubyRubyGaming]

So I've tested this, unfortunately Antique's passive is unique, and so multiple Antique Cuirass held by multiple enemies cannot reduce enemy Physical Attack past 24%.

[@MoobWorld]

@@RubyRubyRubyGaming Oh 🥲 Okie!

[@Bargest2534]

There is also one defensive item in attack equipment Rose Gold Meteor/Magic Blade. It's maybe actually good against any (not only magic) burst heroes such a Badang, Cyber etc. And 2 utility defensive items: Wind of Nature and Winter Truncheon. I personally built Wind of Nature on my Carmilla against enemy Moscow, because rest enemy team was magic damage and only Moscow can melt me. Also Rock Potion gives unique 15% resilience and 500hp for 2 min for 1500 gold. Not dat good because resilience stacking multiplicative. So Tough Boots(30% resi) + Rock potion(15% resi) give total 40.5% resilience. But I suggest to keep gold if you proceed Immortality its better to replace it with other defensive item than rock potion

[@alpkangul655]

The reason why blade armor reduces less than the %20 as it says is this: when you get something that increases your crit damage, for example berserker fury with +%40 crit damage. what happens is, before you get berserkers fury the crit damage is already %200 and getting berserker makes it %240 so the damage that you do is not %40 increased the damage is %20 increased because %200 goes up to %240 (not %280 which would be %40 more than 200) and this is same with blade armor; if the crit damage is 200 it will be 180(which is -%10 damage) if it is %240 it will be %220(which is about -%8)...

[@RubyRubyRubyGaming]

Yeah, that's absolutely right bro!

[@RyanAlexandra]

Now, there is a new defense Item disguised as Magic Item, the flask..... Boosting one`s regenerative effect by 12%, 10% cd reduction, 60 magic power, and unique passive that gives 1.5k shield + 2s cooldown reduction to all skill If the healed target HP is below 40%. This has saved my teams from dire near-wipe out to epic retaliation. A must item for healing supports.
