Summary

These are not your only options! I believe these are strong builds that will help but items should be subbed out situationally.

If you have any feedback or think I should change some items I would be happy to hear your input! I am new to building in this game so I have already learned a lot from what you guys have to say. Thanks for your help!

You can't build frostbound on Sobek, also don't build Hecate on him.

you think rod of tahuti and soul reaver would be good replacements?

(143) |

Tahuti no. Reaver can be fine but only late in the build and I would prioritise Ethereal over it.

How can you have a solo lane build with only 1 start?

I find it important to get early game potions when playing sobek in solo, considering how slow his early game moves. Imo potions are stronger than upgrading the breastplate to level 2

(143) |

You still don't see the problem.

Im asking what do you start if you're against a magical in solo because you don't have a listed start for that.

Im a little new to building in the game so I havent listed a start against magical. Until i get more familiar with the items I have been building a physical defense start, considering most characters I see in the solo lane are guardians or warriors. What would you recommend I start if playing against a magical god?

(143) |

Boots into Genji's if im a guardian/mage into another magical usually. Maybe Void Stone but it isn't that effective early.

Also on certain magical gods I could go Stone of Binding after boots if im against a magical solo and the enemy team has a physical jungler, and then maybe go into Void or Genji's next.

If I was a warrior I would go Boots/Runic (either order) early.

Also for learning Solo lane I recommend checking out Fineokay on Youtube and Twitch.

Ill add your suggestions and make a separate build against magical gods. I have been watching incon on youtube to get an idea of what to do, but Ill make sure to check out fineokay! Thanks for the help!!

Regarding your damage build, I wouldn't play a damage build in solo lane,but I think some improvements could be made. Stone of Gaia isn't that great of an item right now. It had some functionality in Assault a while back, before the healing buffs were a thing. Otherwise, stone of Gaia just isn't a good item.

Gem of iso isn't that great in him either. His ult doesn't apply it until he erupts, his 2 is a knock up (the slow duration pretty much ends by the time the knock up is done), and you have the same issue with his 1. He just cant reliably apply the slow from gem of iso.

I typically would only build damage if I had a very strong advantage over the other solo lane when by mid game. Thanks for the feedback I plan to change both gem of iso and gaia stone later when I get the opportunity to check out different items

Hey Saladman, how are you?

Talking about your guide, I didn't like 2 items: and , but why?

Stone of Gaia - The passive can be easily countered by anti-healing and the stats are very bad, there are way better items to provide HP to you.
Gem of Isolation - Since the nerf, this item slow goes away very quick, even before you cast your second ability the effect would have gone. It also don't stack with your ulti since it only applies with damage, so I can't see any reason to build it. Instead, build Ethereal Staff.
In addition, Spear of Desolation is not a solo item. You have other ways to get cooldown and power on a solo.

Thanks for the critique! Any recommendations to replace those items?

(394) |

Myst suggested E-Staff as a replacement for Gem. As for a replacement for Gaia, I think you mostly look at it for the health and health regen, right? If so, I'd say you probably need to deal with not having too much healing outside of your own ability. Any other tank or counter type items are great to build. You give 2 build examples, but you should never be limited to just those types of builds...give a listing of optional/situational item considerations.

Awesome thank you I'll try those out! I appreciate your suggestions a lot and I'll update my build when I try your items

I think Kriega strongly advocated against on a while ago for anti heal.
Right now, your go to anti heal item against a physical solo laner should probably be .

Thanks for the feedback I'll try it out!

(394) |

Yeah, you probably don't need that early, though it's not bad. You can opt for as your first physical protection if you really need anti-heal, or maybe instead you get BoV, and then .

Keep in mind, you already have anti-heal in that's stronger than any general item. Combine that with or at any point and you're an anti-heal machine...or don't worry about anti-heal too much if there's only one major healer on their team.

That said, say you're dominating lane, and your team is dominating, and you're looking to maintain aggression. After you've gotten some base physical and magical prots, I don't see a specific problem getting (situationally only) against a very heavy healing comp. You can apply the anti-heal with that so easily through all of your abilities, and if you combine that with Sickening, you'll be shutting down almost 100% of their healing.

It's always good to keep your options open.

Honestly I would not really skip out on BoV fast as sobek really loves the CDR, especially against people that have good clear.

Honestly the options for solo lane sobek depends on if you're going to play more of a tank sobek or a bruiser sobek. Which you actually don't have to decide till you have finished your first 3-4 items in (being boots, BoV, void stone and depending on how dominating you are or , (at this point in the game blue buff cdr will lose it's value as you will have capped the cdr if you got focus over magi unless you get urchin)

If you have been dominating or found that you get away with a more damagy playstyle, (guardians do more damage with pen) and (a hybrid item) are fine pickups and when you get speed pot you can pickup one of the 3 items you did not yet.

If you opt to go tanky you will pretty much want to grab or (depending on which defense you need more or if an item like midguardian mail/spectal armor does not want the slot) depending on enemy team comp. in a balanced comp grabbing one extra magical defense and 1 extra physical is a great option finishing either with one of the cloaks again or

Good suggestion. May even consider going into more damage items if you and your team are absolutely wrecking.

Thanks for the ideas! I'll update my build when I get the opportunity to try out your suggestions. It means a lot that you took the time to leave a comment thanks again!
