Introduction

welcome to my guide about ao kuang
ao kuang is a character that combines both characteristics of assassins' quick killing and mages' magical damage
he is without doubt strong so without further a do lets get into it

Pros / Cons

pros
[*] he is strong in all 1vs1 situations
[*] he can disappear so he is great for sneak attacks
[*] he can escape with many abilities
[*] can kill anyone even tanks

cons
[*] extremely squishy
[*] very weak to roots and taunts
[*] very weak area damage

Skills

[*] king's sword
is you passive you have 3 charges that can be used as mana if you run out of it or it can add damage to your abilities


[*] water illusionvery important skill it makes you disappear but you will become visible if you attack or get attacked or if the time runs out


[*] dragon callyour main source of damage , dragon call is a very good ability it has the normal mode and the ranged mode in the normal mode you call 6 dragons to your side which do alot of damage with each successful basic attack and if you activate the ability again it will switch to ranged mode which will project the remaining dragons that causes damage and slow your enemy the more dragons left the more damage and slow

[*] wild stormyour second most source of damage one important note about this ability is that it counts as a basic hit meaning if used while dragon call is active a dragon will attack each enemy hit with the wild storm and also items will be activated

[*] king of eastern seasthis ability is your ultimate and you will mainly use it when trying to escape or when you want to kill a tank you must wait for the X to appear so that you can execute your enemies and change into a dragon

Items

ok now to the most anticipated part of this guide the items
this build is mainly for arena but it works well in all game modes

[*] so you first item should bethis item is better thanbecause i think that ao doesnt need that cool down reduction that much

[*] second item isbecause its passive makes you able to keep attacking till you finish all your dragons without suffering from the movement penalty during movement

[*] next isthis item is extremely important for ao because it adds magical damage bonus after using any ability so it works perfectly withfor strong burst damage

[*]very good item for increasing you attack speed

[*]ok so this item can be changed to whatever you like as long as it increases your magical power i personally prefer this item because of the life steal and high magical power it gives you

[*]your last item is a strong and expensive one but it gives huge magical power boost which comes in handy

How to use Ao Kuang

ok so here is how to use ao correctly first dependeing on the situation you start with activatingso now you choose a victim and turn around him then you activatewhich in turns activates the passive ofthen you activateand lock on the enemy then you use it and start killing him with the basic attacks and your dragons after that you can start to plan your escape if you didnt usein your attack you can now use it to escape

you main focus must be to use all your dragons because no one can survive all six of them except tanks which you will kill with your ult

important notes
[*] try to avoid enemies while they are near minions because minions will take the attacks instead and waste your dragons
[*] try to attack only 1 enemy at a time 2 if necessary
[*] if you have some dragons remaining after a kill use your ranged attack to get rid of them and start the cool down early
[*] remember to explode your clone after you get visible so that it recharges faster

You aren't supposed to build attack speed on ao kuang. It's much more effective to build him as a high power mage. A better build would be "Shoes of the Magi, Dynasty Plate Helm, Polynomicon, Obsidian Shard, Soul Reaver, Rod of Tahuti, and then sell Dynasty for Spear of Desolation." With this build you can just blink or use your 1 to get up close and then use your 2 and 3 the target. Your 3 counts as a basic attack so once you use your 2 poly will be active. Once you 3 your target you can use your 2 in the line shot form to finish the target. If they are still alive you can ult or just auto the target to death.
