Fafnir's Skill Order Notes If you want, you can level your Underhanded Tactics on level three, but your main support tools are Cursed Strength and Coerce.

Your Cursed Strength is your main source of damage, as well your greatest support ability because it provides you a way to stun like an Ullr axe, so it will be pretty apreciated by your Hunter/ADC.

Extended Build

Early Game

You should limitate to go with your ADC to bring pressure with your Cursed Strength, use it likely when the enemy is close to the wave so you hit both of them. Keep close to your teammate and spam on him your Coerce to kill everything faster (unless there´s no enemies or minions, dont waste your mana), throwing the ability on yourself is kinda useless right now, but can be right for some extra healing.

If you have the opportunity, farm purple buff, harpie camps are not that worty and take your precious time outside of your lane.

Rotate when you're seeing that your ADC can defend himself without problems or if you want him to farm faster.

Late Game

Fafnir start to shine here because of Dragonic Corruption, jump into your enemies and activate it! The attack speed field from your 2 combined with the Shogun's Kusari will keep the team with a good peace of attack speed, also you can chase enemies with your leap and stun/debuff them with Cursed Strength. Also with the debuff of Spear of the Magus you can easilly melt down the enemies (of course, with your teammates cooperation :>)

Credits & Thanks

Thank you for read my first guide! Decided to make it because there's not a plenty of guides of Fafnir. Credits to nanoyam for posting the guide to creating a guide (redundant) that helped me a lot.

I approve this build, mainly because that was the core build I was showing for awhile on my guide.
