Hi Everyone, welcome back to my second guide on here. Today I'm going to be going over a Midlane build for Anubis.'Second Time Doing This!' So like my Agni guide I'm going to give you a break down of his abilities and passive before we move on to the items.
Passive
Anubis' passive is called
Sorrow and can be found on your HUD in game if you don't already know where it is. This passive has to be one of the best in the game, it also splits in to 2 main segments.
1) Anti CC: Anubis' passive
Sorrow reduces the duration of all Crowd Control effects (CC) on him by 30%. This is particularly useful for attempting escapes on Anubis as he has no real escape, but it has no effect on displacement CC's such as
Ares
and
Xing Tian
ults
2) Lifesteal/Protections: So the the second half of his passvie grants two things lifesteal and protections. As for the lifesteal, stacks gained from
Sorrow, Anubis gains additional magical lifesteal from items up to 33% from each stack
(max stacks 3) which also doubles his lifesteal effectively. For example if we take
Bancroft's it grants you with 15% lifesteal but accompanied by
Sorrow you are now receiving 30% lifesteal and that's with out the Items passive being procked.
As for the protection side of things, every time Anubis deals damage using one of his abilities
every tick dealt counts) he steals
7 points of magical and physical protection from his enemey. With
Sorrow having a cap of 3 stacks he gains up to
21 protections in total.
Abilities
Plague of the Locusts
Anubis' first ability is called
Plague of Locusts the ability is a 120 degrees cone shaped AOE attack which
locks him into place. You can also rotate the ability while its in use, the ability lasts 3 seconds and has tick damage for 0.5s. Though this ability is nice for clear it does put you as the player in an awkward spot as you are more likely to be ganked for an easy kill. Though it must be said Anubis becomes
immune to knock ups from abilities such as
Poseidon's
Tidal Wave and
Vulcan's
Magma Bomb
Mummify
Anubis' second ability
Mummify is what he is know for along with his ultimate
Death Gaze. This ability is a stun that lasts up to
2 seconds locking your enemy in place.
Though the cooldown is quite high so use with caution. This ability can serve as a combo set up and escape depending on the situation, the major downside to this ability is that its really hard to hit when you first start playing him due to timing your enemies duke patterns but once you have this ability down you will be pretty much a pain to deal with on the battle field. This ability typically combos with the following your three
Grasping Hands during poking fights and later on when you are going to set up the wombo combo of his two, three and his ult.
Grasping Hands
Anubis' third ability is
Grasping Hands. This ability is a long range circular AOE attack and is one of the safest abilities in Anubis' kit. This ability applies a
25% slow to enemies passing through or within in the radius of the ability for
2 seconds applying a tick
every 0.5s. This ability should really be the main focus for leveling due to it being the main wave clear for Anubis with ult obviously being leveled when given the chance.
Death Gaze
Anubis' fourth and final ability is
Death Gaze the most satisfying ability of them all. This ability is a long range ability which
lasts for 3 seconds dealing damage every 0.1s as
tick damage. Here is the math for this ability, overall this ability deals 30 ticks in total with damage dealing
23/28/33/38/43 (+15% of your magical power) each tick and then its deals up to
690/840/990/1140/1290 (+450% of your magical power as damage). This makes it the most damaging ability in the game. Though like
Plague of Locusts you are
locked into a position which means you can rotate the ability and you also are granted
CC immunity while in this ability which makes you immune to Crowd Control Effects. Oh and it also passes through minions, walls and multiple enemies.
As for combos you basically want to do 2,3 and 4 and then you have successfully deleted your enemy
