Introduction

This build is based on simply stay alive though Hp reg, so never have to go back because of the lack of life!
This is one of the most fun ways to play Fafnir in my opinion, and the best as well!
Sadly this is the first build/guide that I have made so it maybe looks kind of weak in the design, but who care? It's in general just the items and the skill sequence people look at anyways, right?

Feel free to leave a comment! Negative or positive, helps us all with the way of the dragon!

Items

You want to start by either building a Watcher's gift and the beginning of Stone of Gaia, this way you get some additional extra gold for staying in the middle and a little survivability. But usually I just rush Gaia and boots.
Quickly followed by Gauntlet of Thebes.
From there, it depends if I'm battling "dangerous" physicals or magicals, as well if I have mages of the team. But Sovereignty and Void stone are often the two next picks, just that the order sometimes varies.
The few remaining items varies as well, for the same reason, depends if I battle physicals or magicals!

Some good picks of here is Gem of Isolatio, due to the effect of your second ability. For when placed on lets say Artemis, then each of her basic attacks procs the slow, which is insane.

If you want more physical procetion, then Breastplate of Valor or Hide of the Nemean Lion is the picks for you!
If it's magical damage you need to protect against then Heartward amulet works just fine, to both help the team and yourself survive. Bulwark of Hope if you want to be more selfish, but tank for days!

Pros / Cons

Pros

    Strong
    Works perfect with both aggressive and passive playstyle
    Fun!
    Dragon!
    Attack speed boost
    Disarm
    Selfheal
    Longest leap

Cons

    Sort of needs a attack speed based god in the team
    Rather small hit box with the stun
    Kind of long cooldown so you get punished rather hard if you miss
    Gets stunned at the end of the Dragon form
    Walks like he's Quasimodo!
