Best runes this season When a slot says "Pick one", both runes are playable: take the one that fits how you play. Helm: both are playable, but I prefer Crown Soul's extra 10% unit damage reduction over Abyssal Rift's poison, unless you play a diving class. Bracers: Diving Eagle is a must if you run lance cavalry in your warband. It costs 3, so drop Yang Fire VII for it. If you don't run Buckler or Poleaxe units, take Yang Fire VII and VIII on the armour instead.

Most useful buildAoE burn that one-shots fragile units at range.
Purpose: Caltrops is mandatory: it provides one of the best AoE DPS in the game.

Effects on Enemies:
Panics enemy soldiers. is good in a meta with flammable units (Zykalian Militia for example) or archers (Rattan Vipers, Rattan Marksmen). The hero-killing build is a bit of a bait and doesn’t provide the value this build provides.
Playstyle advice:

Effects on Enemies:
Panics enemy soldiers., a ranged grenade that deals low initial damage but leaves targets burning. Your goal is to position yourself well (high ground, flanks, etc.) to throw your grenades at range effectively.
- Liquid FireLiquid FireThrows a firebomb at the target area, dealing 100% Base + 266 Blunt Damage on impact. Burns enemies hit for 350 fire damage per second for 3 seconds.
Effects on Enemies:
Panics enemy soldiers. can one-shot fragile units like Zykalian Militia, T3 archers, and Rattan Marksmen, regardless of how many there are. Zykalian Militia can carry a push with ease but have extremely low HP, and when they die from burning, they explode, adding to the damage.
- Stronger units like Falconetti Gunners, Shenji Grenadiers, Flamers, or T4 archers won’t be one-shot. You’ll need to adapt based on the number of targets: if you throw two bombs into 8 Shenjis, you might kill them, but more than that will spread the damage too much.
- Despite Blunt DMG giving more kill potential on lower units, Agility is still the best stat for this build. Blunt penetration helps increase your killing power against tougher units; Agility enhances your ability to follow up ally CC with auto attacks, which are essential for bursting enemies.
ReloadHero-killing. A bit of a bait, it doesn’t provide the value of the Most useful build.
Purpose: The Reload build is commonly used in Deathmatch and tournament formats like 1v1, 2v2, and 5v5, though it can also be fun in siege battles. This build focuses entirely on hero-killing abilities. The key difference is the Reload skill, which allows you to extend your bomb combo, often the extra damage needed to finish off heroes.
Playstyle advice:
- The standard hero-killing combo: start by throwing your bomb, then position yourself behind the enemy.
- Aim from above their head and slowly move down until the aim assist shows the red circle for a headshot.
- After hitting the headshot with your auto-attack (AA), move your aim to the center of the body and follow up with a

Aiming the Scatter ShotScatter ShotLoad scattershot to fire 12 pieces of shrapnel. Each piece deals 12% base + 224 Piercing Damage and inflicts Knockback. at the head can result in a miss due to its spread, so it’s safer to target the body. - After this, reload and finish with another AA.
- This build provides an extended combo chain, giving you enough damage output to secure kills efficiently.
Insane Combo: This advanced combo involves timing an auto-attack (AA) right after using the bomb’s crowd control (CC). When you CC with your bomb ultimate, the target will naturally get up after a short delay. However, if they are staggered by any AA, they will get up instantly. The trick is to land an AA during the small frame before they get up, allowing you to hit them quickly without giving them time to recover. This timing is crucial to maximize your damage output while keeping your target locked in the combo.
Blue Tier-lockSafe ranged carry vs low-HP flammable units.
Purpose: This build leverages the fact that during blue tier lock, all units are flammable, all units have a low HP pool, and range is spammed heavily.
Playstyle advice: Heroes are very low impact, so Musket having insane impact on units while being safe as a range + medium is what makes it so good.
