Why are you picking up the 3 2nd and not his 2? I mean personally I get my 2 first in conquest and then my 1 to help with lane clear because you're able to get more stack potentiall with his 2 for his passive than with his 1 AND it can help push enemies back if they're being aggressive. Just curious why u grab the 3 in that order

Big Damage (37) | August 9, 2020 7:25am
Overall it's situational it can be either or but I find myself picking the 3 at level 2 because it has more damage output considering it does 2 hits for a total of 120 base plus 60% scaling (if you have any power that is, which is unlikely). You get just as much passive stack potential with higher damage and mobility in a trade off for the CC you get. I would get the 2 into a comp where they don't have much low level peel, like an Ares plus Artemis or something along those lines.

3 may be more direct damage but you're not counting the extra damage you're allowing your adc to get off with the root on the 2.

Kriega1 (143) | August 9, 2020 5:58am
You should definitely be starting the 1 at level 1, not the 2. Helps for wave clear and for reducing the enemy adc's clear, and 1 is 14 sec cooldown at lvl 1 while the 2 is 18 sec cooldown. I'd also get the 2 at level 2.

I don't see the point of Breastplate, just get Pridwen instead, especially since you already get Sov just before it.

Big Damage (37) | April 30, 2020 5:33pm
Yeah I mean I don't really like Breastplate of Valor as an item but it's just there to balance the prots and give 20% CDR, if the team were askew towards magical I suppose it would be more worthwhile to pick up, thanks.

if you grab pridwen, you can grab some damage mitigation and ccr in the form of Spirit Robe.

Also I am kinda missing Relic Dagger and think it's a "less selfish" option as cdr pickup then Genji's Guard
