By the way, your leveling order as shown is impossible because you cannot put a point into until level 5.

Expectation (based on common sense) is that he means you prioritize the 1, then the ult, then the 2, then the 3. It's a very brief (and lazy) way to list skill order, and my expectation is that they know you can't put a level into the ult until level 5.

I know that, you know that, but how many of our detractors know or even care? I'm not saying that every guide needs to be a guide, but if you're not going to put in the effort to at least show the leveling order up to 5, why should I expect that you put any effort into the build(s) itself?

You have a valid point. At the same time, I'm going to say that I care very little for our detractors at this point. Nothing is going to change their minds, and it's beating a dead horse.

But still, valid point, and Killingmad, it would be best if you were to update this build with full proper skill leveling suggestion...and as Devampi said below, I think typical leveling will prioritize before ...something you should keep in mind.

It fully depends on the god. I actually prefer full order as with 5 you will see what to max first but afterwards it can leave question marks? 4 order beats five in my eyes as it gives a priority list and you don't end up with the first 3 lvls defining (in several cases think ) the lvl order.

Honestly if you would ask me we should archive anyone that didn't take the ~10 seconds to click the rest of the order.

I will keep this in mind, but want to give the creator a chance to adjust.

At the very least, don't confuse readers to prioritise the ultimate second (impossible to do anyways).

Boogie have you ever seen people say this?

(warning may not be accurate)
For just lvl: 4-1-3-2
For prioritize : 4-2-1-3
For just lvl: 4-2-1-3

ever seen people say something like that? Cause I honestly hope I don't have to explain you were I'm going with this. (cause technical your comment is faulty for the way of bringing your point since you can prioritize your ultimate second otherwise you will only grab 1 point in it at 5)

I do agree it can be confusing especially for newer players at first sight. However they will need a 1-20 order anyway or will just do something after lvl 5 were the order ends.

Dev, your leveling priorities for those 3 gods are accurate =)

Same still IMO it's wrong cause the heal slow+ASR is honestly better than torrent as most people won't have a or other healing reduction, unless you get to hit the whole wave every time you use it.

The usual start is , , and potions. You build , then , and then an item to directly counter your opponent (usually or ).

isn't really a situational item and should be picked up 3rd or 4th depending upon the match-up.

doesn't need either or because he already has healing in his kit and there are better CDR items.

is a good item though I don't know if I'd list it as core. is more core due to how much healing/life steal most teams build.

is pretty much core due to how much CC gods have in their kit.

I'd drop , , and meditation cloak from your relic list because Chaac has CC immunity in his ult (and there's the aforementioned spirit robe for when it's down); built properly he's hard as hell to kill, so aegis is wasted; and provides more survivability than med cloak. I'd get teleport glyph first so you can get back to lane quicker and not lose farm. You can also teleport around the map when it's upgraded provided you don't have brain-dead teammates who refuse to ward.

is a good boots replacement to help you survive when diving better.

Some situational items you should mention:

Hide of the Nemean Lion for ADCs who go crit.
Midgardian Mail and Witchblade for AA based gods. Don't buy either of these with lion though.
Spectral Armor for when lion isn't enough.
Shogun's Kusari if you have 2 or more AA based gods on your team and nobody else buys it. It also helps with objective pressure and Chaac's passive.
Winged Blade to help deal with multiple and/or heavy slows.
Blackthorn Hammer is a nice power spike when bought after glad shield due to its CDR, health, and power.

Hey man, long time no harrass. :P Hey, I just started trying out Chaac today and I have had good a few good games, a couple of decent games and not really any horrible games as of yet. I have been tinkering with different things I have seen here, but I haven't really seen any arena builds that jump out at me. I was sort of following stuke's guide a bit as a template but then I got to thinking with arena having more damage and focus opportunities that more healing could be a pretty good thing for chaac,ie , especially when countered. I have run this build the last few matches and have done pretty decently. the last match I just played was pretty close and we ended up losing and I went 5-9-10 but mitigated 77k damage, took 47k damage and did 30k damage. Really, if I had him down more my k/d/a would probably have been a good bit better. I feel like this build, maybe some minor tweaking aside might not be too bad.

(although I feel like probably I could switch those two to get the ult shield earlier]]

I figure I will get some backlash from it but thusfar seems to be holding up the few times I have tried it.

Warrior, blackthorn, void Shield, oni hunter’s garb (or pestilence), Pridwen, Mantle is what I would build.

I have been putting Warrior and Blackthorn(that seems to be a favorite of mine on a lot of the tanky types I play in arena) in builds. I have also been trying to fit void in here and there as I manage cooldowns. I was unsure on if spirit or mantle was better for him and had been trying out both on different builds.

I'd drop see for blackthorn. The other items aren't bad in Arena, but don't forget about an early Bob or genji's depending upon the matchup. Thebes is okay, but I would go more bruiser with masamune and avoid shield.

I was thinking more bruiser as well eventually, but was more concerned with balancing health/protects with his natural healing while still having him end up with some pen function. I think I was starting masamune in with him at first and was even thinking shifter's might be a good item on him. Kind of what I was envisioning with him after I get him down a bit more would be I was debating the merit of having in place of masamune since below 75% health I would get the 35 bonus physical/magical protections without all 5 enemies being close to me when i needed them.

I have looked at genji's a bit for him and BoV i am pretty comfortable building in cooldown reliant characters after getting blackthorn's online. I just haven't tried it out on him yet.

Just remember that BT gives 10% CDR via its passive, but the warrior potion doesn't give any, so it's easier to manage the cap with physical gods than it is with magical. Also, spirit robe is generally a good idea given how many gods have hard CC, especially in Arena.

Honestly don;t agree with not getting ASR in heavy AA comps if you got nemean. they will still have to hit you with basics so the reduction will allow you to get some more AAs in or an ability all while they still damage themselves. Don;t forget your team also benefits from it (especially cause aura ofc however a movement speed reduction on an adc that is hitting you also helps.)
These extra seconds were you're alive also help depending on how well they focus you as they are not focusing your team.

~~Maybe I'm having a severe brain fart, but what the hell is ASR?~~

*edit* Oh, attack speed reduction.

In general, I'm in agreement with Gulf. When playing Chaac, I typically would want to bolster the AS slow from with Midgard, but don't like how slowing them decreases the actual reflection damage from Nemean. It's one of those "efficiency" things that bugs me. You have a point, I just don't personally like combining both.

If I were to go Midgard direction, it would probably be in combination with BoV, Oni, etc. Basically trying to outlast the ADCs damage while your teammates finish them off.

With Nemean and the damage it provides, I'd probably more strongly consider a slightly more offensive direction by getting , , etc...enhance that damage you're dealing overall and making it more about you than your teammates.

Sorry kinda lazy to type it out in full XD.

Honestly and nemean makes me conflicted sooner as iirc you reduce a crit with 25% or more depending on .
And yes I can see where you're getting from since you're reducing your DPS as well. However, assuming someone does 4k damage to you pre mitigation (so you reflect 1k) do you want this damage over a period of 5 seconds or something like ~6.5 seconds?

I can see your offensive route as the whole goal of nemean is to punish basic attackers for attacking you. However with how most warriors end up people are better at killing themselves cause of your reflect then your damage if you can withstand it enough. And that would make smarter players actually deaggro you.

“UPVOTE PLS!” - No. Also incorrect levelling order means this qualifies for archive.
