Good Guide. Might I suggest a QOL update in your ability section? Perhaps include an icon hover link so people can see the full ability description as they're reading instead of having to move back up to the top.

Something like this

Is / worthing more than on her?

Plus, good guide, I liked how the information is presented +1

Okay, so yeah...don't just take my word for it. For all you know I could be completely wrong XD

I will say Trans on Art was a thing in the past too...when Devo's was at a low point especially.

I DO think maintaining a Devo's build direction is still functional. I do that for my Medusa guide, both Devo's and Trans, cuz both can work well for her.

Is dev still core on Art? DukeSloth has been talking a lot about the / combination due to the latter's buff. What are your thought on it? Oh, and I echo DV-8's comments and gave you my +1.

I haven't tried the new "unicorn" build, so don't change it on Sloth's account. Test it out and see how you like it. I don't play much Conquest, but I do watch a lot of Sloth's videos, so I was wondering if you had an opinion on the meta change. Trans does give you more power for crits I think and Asi covers lifesteal quite nicely, plus you can replace it late with for that extra power.

So I think there might be a placebo effect going on with Asi...Devo's has 24%, while Asi base has 20. If you're talking Trans/Ninja/Asi or Devo's/Warrior/Exe, you're actually getting around the same lifesteal per hit, because each hit is doing more damage with the Trans build. And then of course when you get to low health, Asi is far superior.

Things to think about with overcap. If enemies build AS slow items (Midgard, Witch), get Horrific, or the god has AS slow in their kit, your overcap isn't going to be much, if at all. And although you might overcap with the steroid and not get quite the full boost efficiency, when it's NOT up your DPS is going to be higher than if you tuned your build just to hit AS with the steroid. So it's not necessarily bad to overcap, as long as it's a reasonable amount.

(81) |

Asi's great pretty anytime you need lifesteal; bloodforge is more of a late item: 5th or 6th and can replace Asi so you're not overcapping your AS. I'd get Asi early for the extra as, then replace it with bf late after you've gotten other as items like exe.

(394) |

DON'T REPLACE ASI. Asi is not a replaceable item anymore...it's a key component of a build, and provides some crazy lifesteal when you need it. You can double up with Asi + BF if you'd like, but yeah, Asi earlier, BF late, if you really want to do that.

It's not necessary, but can work depending.

(143) |

What about devourers + asi builds on Artemis?

(394) |

Yeah late asi as Tabi replacement in that case with normal early Devo's stacking. Counter anti heal or nemean reasonably well. Yeah?

(143) |

No I mean devs, boots, asi, exe, qins ,titans, sell boots for whatever. Though I guess boots replacement works too.

(394) |

I've never tried, and maybe it's functional. That's a bit like Bancroft Shoes Typhon's but for physicals. Asi does have a lot of good stats that makes it a functional 3rd item. Just typically my mind rebels at the thought of 2 phys lifesteal items that early. I should try it sometime, before they nerf Asi.

once they nerf Asi, will Artemis go back to using devs instead of trans? or?

(143) |

Asi is getting nerfed?

(105) |

Sounds like a when it happens scenario

(46) |

First time im hearing about this

(394) |

This is speculation due to the potential overtuning of asi and ich. It might not happen.

(81) |

Good question. You can always stick with trans & asi and replace the later with bf. ;)

(46) |

(81) |

Yes

(394) |

Depends on the level of nerf.

(394) |

Gulf, I think you keep ignoring me. Why do you forsake me? I've continued to say the old Trans/Asi path is going to be solid, since the theorycrafting post upon seeing the changes to Asi.

Anyway...obviously she still usually wants to take advantage of her passive. But if we look at Perfectium's first build before Tabi replacement (e.g. no Runeforged) at level 20 on an enemy with 68 phys prots, we're looking at 769 average DPS without steroid (1.935 AS), and 994 DPS with steroid (2.5, max AS). Those values assume the enemy is under CC from PS.

If we take a Trans crit path, it would probably look like: , , , , Wind Demon, . That's 859 average DPS without steroid, and 1058 DPS with steroid. If you preferred to go instead of WD as first crit item, and we assume the enemy will be under CC, it would be 788 DPS without steroid, 1042 DPS with steroid. Also...in this case, Ninja is the superior DPS option, even as early as immediately after Trans. Go Ninja.

Both Trans paths outdamage Devo's, and it'll be even higher once you replace Tabi.

The question then becomes, what do you value where?

Power: Devo's will be cheaper than Trans by a bit, so you might get it online a bit sooner. Trans should start at a higher power once it's purchased, and will end with higher power. Early DPS advantage goes to Trans. Also never have to worry about mana. Sure, Art isn't a super mana hog, but she can poke more often with her 3. That's a nice advantage for clear as well.
Lifesteal: Obviously Devo's wins out here in the early game. Early sustain is nice, but when you're not dealing a lot of damage, the lifesteal only counts for so much. A few early Health Potions might cover things, or if for example you've got a healing support, you might be okay.

Later, Asi is just the superior lifesteal item. The lifesteal % is roughly the same without Asi's passive...when you're low health, it blows Devo's lifesteal out of the water.
Build paths: With the Devo's build, you can get Exe online sooner (as soon as after Tabi) for stronger DPS against tanks if they're at a point where their phys prots are over 100. But around 100 or less, Trans Ninja Asi is right around the same DPS, WITHOUT the Exe stacking.

At this point, it's hard to argue against the Trans path, IMO.

Bran, you're saying that Trans builds are more useful for Artemis in this meta? It it due to the scaling of her 1 and her ult?

Also, does this apply to other hunters as well?

Since we're talking about Artemis, isn't a viable item for her, due to her passive? Does it fit into a normal build?

(394) |

Hey Vini,

Yes, it looks like overall, Trans builds are just better in general than Devo's at this point. It's due to 2 tangible things...Trans' higher power and the Asi rework. And when I'm talking DPS, I'm just talking basics (the main concern of most hunters)...not even the intangibles like ability damage, more ability use due to the 10% CDR, not running out of mana, etc.

In general, I'd say this can apply to other hunters as well.

And yes, Runeforged is viable. Its rework with the higher power, and the fact that this game is full of CC, allows this to be functional. And then of course you consider the specific hunters that have good CC to get use out of Rune. Either they benefit from crit builds like Art building PS, or they have long-lasting CC in their kits, like AMC or Cern.

And you can build Rune early for the extra survivability, or build it late. With the ability to replace Tabi late, you can easily fit it into a build while still covering your core items.

(81) |

Trans gives you more power than devo and Asi's recent buff makes it viable as the sole lifesteal item again.

(81) |

Who are you again?

Looking great so far! I'm eager to see how the rest goes.

I also feel familiar enough with Artemis to offer ideas to be considered for the guide. Currently, I feel that some of the skill descriptions ("My Thoughts" portions) could be elaborated on.

For example, under , you might mention that it makes a powerful poke tool that can gradually deplete enemy health during the laning phase.

For , I think more emphasis could be placed on the CC-Immunity aspect of the ability. That's a major part of the ability in my opinion, and gives you a lot of safety against high-CC enemy comps, especially when combined with . Also, you could perhaps mention that the boar's target radius travels with it as it moves from target to target, allowing it to travel very far in certain scenarios.

For , I think a main function of this ability is piggy-backing off of your support/other allies' Crowd Control. As you mentioned, landing this ability free-hand can be difficult, which is why I recommend using it on already CC'ed enemies for extended lockdown. This will give you and your teammates an easy target.

I also understand that you plan to go over more details of these abilities in the Tips/Tricks section, but I feel that a bit more general information could enhance this section.

Again, nice work so far, and thank you for sharing!
