Sylvanus Pest Support Guide (LITERALLY UNKILLABLE)

Mystical is not really suitable for Sylv, i'd get a Lotus Crown in the build as well.

And the recommended support start is guardian's, tier 1 shoes, 4 health pots and HoG.

Hi Pepe,

Welcome to the site and thanks for posting your build!

Personally, I would go heavier on utility and would list more item options. As a general support, a decent amount of your itemization consideration should apply to countering problematic enemies.

To that end, I personally wouldn't go Mystical Mail. Although the health is nice, the physical prots on that item aren't that high and Mystical's passive damage at that point of the game (4th main item) are going to drop off pretty hard. Mystical's best use is usually to pick it up as early as possible, and I don't think that item fits well with his kit. Since he has to be closer to the enemy to get the aura damage, and since he doesn't have any actual mobility (outside of getting Blink Rune), it's just not that good for him IMO. Note that the magical damage is subject to mitigations from enemy protections, so you're never going to be getting full damage from the item, especially since your build has 0 pen.

And while Stone of Gaia has amazing regen function, it will be stunted somewhat by anti-heal, which people are likely to pick up in most cases...and you have healing in your kit, so that's already asking for anti-heal to a degree.

Gulf mentioned Rod of Asclepius and I do see it listed in your item options, but that would be a situational option mainly if you wanted added MS and a boost of healing (either to take advantage of a lack of enemy anti-heal, or to slightly counter anti-heal and at least get something from your healing). Rather, you're missing a very functional item for him that works synergistically with his heal, and that is Lotus Crown. If nothing else, it should always be an item consideration and not having it is a pretty big oversight. I would probably suggest it in the same spot to replace Mystical.

While Genji's Guard is a solid item, I think you'd also be served well by considering Shogun's Kusari as a replacement.

For more CDR, you should have Pridwen listed as an option.

My preferred standard item build for him would probably be:

• Guardian's Blessing
• Shoes of Focus
• Gauntlet of Thebes
• Lotus Crown
• Shogun's Kusari or Genji's Guard or Oni Hunter's Garb
• Pridwen
• Situational
• Replace shoes w/ Relic Dagger

Caduceus Shield is a physical god only item; I would get Rod of Asclepius instead.

I would appreciate any feedback or tips for how I could make this build better. I think it's the perfect build but there might be a couple of factors that could be tweaked so let me know! I appreciate everyone that took the time to check this build out and maybe even try it.
