Warrior tabi, crusher, hydras, magi's, jotunns then bloodforge. Relics for "damage" achilles: blink, beads, aegis.

I know these builds probably aren’t good but then seem good so I thought I shared them if you don’t like go to kriega’s Achilles builds his are good so thanks for looking at my builds and trying them

(143) |

So you're telling me, that you think it's a brilliant idea to build Executioner straight after boots?

(46) |

Sit this one out. I'll handle it. I know the author didn't read our advice in his previous builds, but perhaps we were a bit too aggressive. Let's tone down the attitude and see if we can turn this into an opportunity to teach the author.

And for the damage tank hybrid i chose glad shield for extra damage, defense, healing, and cooldown, jotunns, pen and cooldown, hydra because it’s good on him with his abilities, one hunter for magical defense and cc, and hide of the urchin for more health and defense.

(46) |

Ok. Let's discuss. Why do you pick each one of your items? What about certain items makes u think they r good on achilles? I am not attacking you or mocking you. I just want to know your thought process

For tank I chose glad shield for the extra damage, healing and cooldown, midgardian mail to slow attacks movement and attack speed, Sam with frost bound hammer, I chose those two because it would slow down the attack so much it would be hard to escape so my teammates can kill them easier, genius guard because of the magical defense and health plus cooldown, and hide of the urchin for the extra health and defense

I chose jotunns because of pen and cooldown, hydra because it works well on him, executioner because of attack speed and pen, shield of regrowth because of its abilities to give you movement speed when’s when you heal and extra health, and bloodforge for more damage and lifesteal

Okay. Let's start with the ability damage build.

First and foremost, you should specify what game modes your guide will cover. An arena build is going to be vastly different from a conquest or assault build.

So let me start by saying the arena damage build has a good start. Just needs a few tweaks. Let's go over the items.

Warrior Tabi - Good choice for a damage build
Jotunn's Wrath - Good choice. Early cool downs for more ability spamming. Power/Pen which makes your abilities hurt more.
Hydra's Lament - Fine choice. More cool downs for ability spamming. I want you to understand that Achilles can auto attack cancel well with his abilities (if you want me to explain further, let me know).
The Executioner - Okay, now here's a controversial item. You can absolutely make good use of due to the auto attacks you can fit in between abilities/AA cancels (will explain further if you need me to). HOWEVER, you have to start by understanding that Achilles is an ability based god. Why? Because his abilities do high damage and have good damage scaling.
The Executioner won't give your abilities penetration, only your Auto Attacks. You said you the The Executioner because of attack speed? Try The Crusher. It gives attack speed, and it has flat penetration, which WILL help you abilities as well as your auto attacks.
shield of regrowth - You can make use of this because his Radiant Glory gives him heals, which can activate the passive of shield of regrowth. However, this item is wasted in a damage build, especially since you get Bloodforge next item. You get movement speed from Bloodforge's passive. shield of regrowth is Better suited in your tank builds.
Bloodforge - Good option, but you would NOT primarily get this for the lifesteal. You can execute enemies with your ultimate, and that would give you an easy application of the passive.

To sum up:
Drop (not the best item for an ability based god. There are better items) and shield of regrowth (not suited in a damage build).
is ok, but you can consider a different item.
I want you to consider: , , , , or in your builds.

So here are updated build examples:

(preferred) or

/

Go ahead and give my suggestions a try. I want to hear back about how they worked for you.

Also would soul eater be good on him as a replacement for bloodforge can you would heal of abilities and get that extra cooldown

(143) |

Crusher should be built earlier in the build than jotunns because it helps his early camp clear.

(46) |

Not in my opinion. As mentioned earlier, the lifesteal is NOT the main reason for getting . The reason worked so well was because of ultimate execute. After killing an enemy, you activate the passive and get a health shield & speed boost. This allows you the chance to re-engage or retreat.

's cool down is good, but it just doesn't offer you enough power or penetration to be useful (60 fully evolved vs. 's 75).

Are my damage-tank hybrid and tank build alright

(46) |

We'll get to those later. Let's focus on the damage build for now.

I'm glad you're taking the feedback and adjusting the damage build. However, don't adjust the build just because I told you to do so. Adjust it after you try out my suggestions and feel comfortable with them. After you try out my suggestions, if you dont like them, come back and we can discuss some more.

I’ve tried the updated damage and I liked it I used soul eater on it too but they both feel about the same to me so I’ll leave the build as it is

(46) |

Have you tried the iteration with and ? I'll cover some slightly more advanced topics with you, and then we'll move onto the hybrid and tank builds.

No not yet I will and thanks for helping me understanding how to make builds

(46) |

Sure, after you try a few games with that build, let me know how they worked for you.

I like it it’s more tanky I’ll have to try them both more to fully see which I like better and also I know we will talk about the other builds later but I’ve had a idea for my damage-tank hybrid warrior tabi, glad shield, magi cloak, ancile, jotunns, void shield, and maybe shield of regrowth

(46) |

Don't worry, we'll get to the damage-tank builds soon. Just a few more concepts we need to cover.

Are you familiar with how protections and penetration work? gods get physical protections as they level up. Building low penetration, even against squishy targets, means a lot of your damage potential is going to be mitigated by the enemy.

Now let's view the current damage build you have posted:

We get a total of +25 penetration from and . This is OK against squishy targets (mages and hunters mainly). Especially since you have other items like (high damage boosting for AA cancelling), and (high power).

Now let me ask you, what if the majority of the enemy team was building tanky? Or what if the enemy guardian builds and ? Now +25 flat penetration isn't going to punch through enemy armor. What's your answer? . You need to list that as a situational in your guide. I would replace with if you encounter tanky enemies or if enemy guardian/warrior building or .

It's ideal to build late game (5th/6th item). This is when you'll get the most benefit out of the passive because this is when enemies have their defenses online. Also, this is why Kriega scolded you for buying second item. Enemies just don't have enough defense that early in the game for to be useful.

Once you've grasped this concept, we'll cover one more topic. Then we'll move onto hybrid damage build.

So if I am reading this right if the enemy team has high physical protection replace bloodforge for titans bane but if their physical protection isn’t too high use bloodforge correct?

(46) |

Correct, BUT a build is never set in stone. Replacing with is my personal preference.

Some people really like that because of the health shield it gives you after you get an execute, so they may want to replace a different item for .

You'll have to see what the enemy is building whenever you go to base to buy items. This is very important when it comes to counter building the enemy. That will be our next topic. I'll touch on it on the damage build, but I'll go in depth when we get to the hybrid and tank builds. Let me know when you're ready.

How is the build now

(46) |

Better, but like I said, we have one more concept to cover: Counter building.

You need to add to the suggested item list. What if the enemy team had a lot of healing? would come in handy.

So to recap on the builds:

or

if needing anti heal:

or or (you pick)

Build with void shield (don't worry about in a build with

Maybe but I prefer

If you need anti heal.

(143) |

You really are suggesting crusher way too late in these builds.

(46) |

I prefer CDR rush for arena. Idk yet if DBOP is writing this guide for conquest or all modes. Again, i will ask you to sit this one out. If you have suggestions, PM me. I will accommodate you.

(46) |

Two last things before we move onto other builds.
1) Recommending you change the name of the guide to clarify game mode.

2) For a damage build, the two relics you'll typically want are and . allows you to close the distance, then unload your main combo on an enemy. are to get you out of a sticky situation. You can consider , but I think and are the way to go on a damage build.

Let me know if you agree/disagree.
When you're ready, we'll move onto hybrid and tank builds.

(143) |

1) Achilles jungle??

Aright thanks for you insight I will try them and get back to you

Great job boogiebass, you nailed it with your changes. I've used your recommended build in the past and it rocks (in arena at least)

(46) |

Glad to hear it! I assumed this was for arena when I made my suggestions. I should have specified that. Thanks for your comment.
