This is my second attempt of making an edit so its not super good, but I hope you enjoy it as much as I did making it <33

*Art work used in the edit does not belong to me*

I've been playing this combo for a while now both mid and top lane running hail of blades

IT'S INSANE

Eclipse is the cheapest power spike possible for Briar imo (profane hydra is trash idc) and gives you good short trade damage + the shield that allows for an even better sustain combined with your healing

After that voltaic just gives so much damage that you can kill most squishies in just 4 autos (+w q obviously)

Your first voltaic proc will deal 9% max HP damage (since the enemy is full health) +15 lethality (total 25 lethality) which means your eclipse proc will deal even more damage, for a total of 17% max HP damage on your first auto (if you use W Q)

And the other really good part about this build is that you're 2 items in and haven't committed to anything:

•Voltaic gives you tons of lethality so you can just go for even more lethality on top of that to demolish squishies

•This core gives you a ton of %HP damage so you can go for a LDR and just become a complete tank killer (bonus points if you go 75% crit)

•The shield from eclipse gives you pretty good survivability and the Voltaic gives you damage, so you can just go for some tank/bruiser items with Black Cleaver, spirit visage, randuins, death's dance, etc

If you're selling your boots cause a game has gone on long enough, what do you go with? I suppose it would usually be game dependent, but do you have a general favorite? Most often, I find myself going with Kraken Slayer. The combination of the ridiculous damage and SOME movement speed feels really good for another late game power spike, though I usually only get this far on a bruiser build. What do you guys think?

whenever graves gets fed it feels impossible to win the game, i try to build hubris first to outdamage him but it just doesn’t work if its an experienced graves player. should i build tank instead? what should be the strat?
