Explaining the Item Build

Guan Yu is a warrior that be a nuisance in battle as he can deal a considerable amount of damage to multiple enemy gods and heal his team. However, Guan Yu can become obsolete in battles if he doesn't build on these builds. Because of this, Guan Yu must build damage and aspects that benefit his healing ability. Luckily, this build focuses on building damage while also building health at the same time so Guan Yu can survive battles and building aspects to his heal that will benefit his team.

Explaining the Ability Build

Guan Yu relies on Taolu Assault as this ability is his primary source of attacking multiple enemies, so it is important to focus on fully-upgrading Taolu Assault first. Then, focus on fully-upgrading Conviction as this allows Guan Yu to be relevant in a battle. Afterwards, finish fully-upgrading Warrior's Will and Calvary Charge. Remember, don't ignore upgrading Conviction early in the game as not upgrading it can leave him vulnerable.
