Thanatos Build

Core

Notes Sun Beam bow is the obvious core of this build. You just get free ranged autos that deal more damage. You want to bring up your basic attack damage as much as possible.

Notes Only need Hasten, if you don't know how to let off the trigger on your autos. Dagger is perfect for picking off solo targets or melting tanks.

Tankie Attack speed.

Notes You really shouldn't need these with how fast you kill people with this build, but if you find yourself getting low health mid game tank up before you get hard focused for destroying the enemy. Honestly that's all you need

Activate and Forget

This absolutely WILL GE PATCHED. After you complete building SunBeam, just set it and forget it, well unless you need to back to buy an item, cause that is the only reason you will be backing with this build.

Get your basics attack damage as high as you can.
Recommend Aspect, but works just as good without.
Build some life steal if you want to solo Gold when it spawn just drop the queen B spawn to start you off right. "Crystalline Egg"

You don't need hasten, Thanas 2 is enough. You want to put points into that first, that is how you will keep up and melt people.

Use your ult to initiate, you won't need it to finish anyone off.

Have fun at the top of ranked leaderboards.
If you don't get Jungle role on Conquest, just build this anyways and spread out from your lane to get jungle near by. You will dominate your opponent and then GANK NONE STOP!!

My first published build! Please rate it if you like it or when you see it!
