Introduction

Fafnir is a wonderful guardian who specialises in an aggressive playstyle, yet can also thrive by being played passively. This created build provides early CDR, followed by defensive items to help survive, ending with enough damage and pen to be deadly.

Pros / Cons

Pros

    High Durability
    High Mobility
    Decent Poke
    Decent CC
    Great beard

Cons
    Relatively weak damage
    Ultimate can be countered easily

Team Work - Who to lane with


Artemis is already a potent ADC, and accompanied with Fafnir she becomes even more deadly. Fafnir providing her with his buff, Coerce along with her own buff Vengeful Assault allows her to deal quite the high amounts of damage in rapid succession.

Most ADC will suit Fafnir, Artemis just personally stood out for me.


Especially in a joust scenario, Agni and Fafnir are able to utterly destroy. His stun along with Agni's destructible damage is asking for trouble. Cursed Strength followed by Rain Fire for devastation.

Once more, most mages will suit Fafnir, Agni merely stuck out for me.
