Ao Kuang Build

Auto Attack Build Example

Notes With the new mid-season patch, Ring of Hecate and Spear of the Magus have become a great combo on Ao Kuang.
This is because Spear of the Magus marks an enemy increasing damage taken from all sources by 7.5%.
The Spear of the Magus ability has great synergy with Ring of Hecate since you are reducing the enemy's power and increasing your own. You are not only weakening the enemy's power, but you're also making them take more damage.
This combo is a great power boost towards the end of the game once you get the core build complete.

Ao Kuang's Skill Order Notes In arena, your dragon call allows you to do more damage with your auto attacks and it also gives you a heavier hitting poke. You can max out Wild Storm instead of Dragon Call, however I find myself finishing enemies off with the Dragon Call re-cast.

First Actual Build

This is my first "Guide" on this site and I don't have much experience making them. I made this build with the little knowledge I have from playing Ao Kuang over the years and I thought I would leave this fun build for those who want to try him out before taking him to conquest.
