Erlang Viable Solo Build

Yes, I’m sorry for not keeping up with my guides. I’ve been very busy with work. I’ll try to update them within the next. Thank you so much for being patient though I really appreciate it.

1. You'll want a magic or mixed defense item after boots into a guardian solo.

2. Erlang Solo isn't good (he's mainly a Jungle god, with some potential in Support). He wasn't even played in Solo at the start of the season when the itemisation was ideal for him (pre nerf Manakins, pre nerf Death's Toll, pre nerf Berserker's).

So generally as a Solo laner, your targets in a teamfight should be what is called the enemies backline, who are the mid and carry. Because of this a solo build is usually tailored around taking damage from those 2 targets and dealing damage to those 2 targets. So as your targets are squishy with no protections, you aren't going to do much damage to a tanky guardian.

To deal damage to guardians though you would just need to build percentage penetration items like Serrated Edge and The Executioner, or Qin's Sais which will take a good chunk out of their health.

However, this is the main issue with Erlang in solo right now. Because he hasn't got any crowd control immunity he can get wrecked pretty hard by guardians that are protecting the backline when trying to kill the mid or carry.

@BigDamage, BranMuffin, Kriega can likely help you. Just let them know which Guardian you're looking for.

Yeah I believe if you found success with the build then keep using it! If you want to change things then go for it. That’s what great about this season is there’s a little more variety in build aside from Bluestone... I’ll be updating these builds around the next patch. So stay tuned!

With Berserker's Shield nerf it's not that great anymore. If you're still going Death's Toll I would recommend:

Death's Toll > Ninja Tabi > Shifter's Shield / Stone Cutting Sword > Void Shield > Talisman of Energy > Qin's Sais > Swap DT for Pridwen > Swap boots for Ichaival / Toxic Blade / alternative

Katana takes up space in your build when you could be building items that are better for survivability or overall damage. Katana is more a chase item and not necessarily good for your damage numbers. But if you like it and you’re finding success with it in your builds then keep going with it.

Erlang has enough CC lockdown with his 2, 3, 4 that you don't need it, also his 3 in mink form gives haste anyway. Even for jungle Erlang you don't build it.

Edit: nevermind mink doesen't have haste anymore. but regardless haste is unnecessary, you're an all in god and you don't need haste for sticking.

Hey! First off I want to thank you for commenting and checking out my build guide. I’m currently fixing certain builds as of right now though I’m simply testing what’s strongest. I haven’t quite gotten to Erlang because even though AA warriors are fairly strong with Deaths Toll and especially Manikin Scepter, he isn’t very tanky like you have recognized. He is definitely a better pick in jungle. As of right now the build I have for him isn’t the best. I would go for a Talisman if Energy over Shoguns and instead of picking up Berserkers Shield first item sell my boots for it later. I’m still working out the kinks but I’m sure you get the gist. As you’ve noticed there are plenty of way to stop his damage, stunning his dash, crippling him, disarming him and antiheal. Out poking him is definitely a way to stop his damage. He has one ranged ability being his root, but long ranged abilities will destroy him if he can’t get close enough to output his own damage. So if you’re playing him be sure you don’t take too much poke and try to play him like an assassin. You’re going to be fairly squishy so don’t overestimate how much damage you can take. Just blink in and root someone auto a couple of times then dash out. Output some damage without overstaying your welcome. As for Clash or Siege I would recommend similar builds and once I finish tweaking the guide you’ll see exactly what I mean. This guide is for Conguest which I forgot to mention in the title and I will definitely add soon hence why it’s not revolving around either of those game modes. Again thank you for commenting and I hope what I said can help and if you want to come back and check out what I’ve updated that’d be really awesome too. Hope your games go well!
