Out of these builds, I like the damage one the most- not everyone realises the potential of Transcendence on Guan Yu; and if you can play safely until getting some defence online in the solo lane, it will yield great power and sustain increase.

I'd suggest though to consider swapping one of the cooldown reduction items, as currently the build involves 10% overcap on it- either Spirit Robe for some other defensive item, or Jotunn's Wrath for Titan's Bane or Brawler's Beat Stick in case of enemies with healing abiliites.

Talking about countering healing- Pestilence is a great way to do so, but overall on default, when there's no need for its passive Bulwark of Hope in its place will greatly increase Guan's survivability because of the damage absorption shield activating on low health.


Agree the build is not bad and I see Pestilence more less used now being the defense nerf in Seaon 3. And yeah you had a 10% over cap so you could switch it with with a other defense or a other pen. My recommendation is swap out Brawler's Beat Stick with Titan's Bane due to its passive changed a lot making it much weaker.

I like what you do with Hastened Fatalis this is actually beneficial to Guan Yu due to his very low attack speed having the slowest attack speed out of all the Warriors. Is you are just doing a build for Guan Yu show us what you need to buy for a starter. Unless if you are doing a guide you need to explain why you choose this build. And why do you like it. Overall nice job.
