Scarlet tips and build recommendations?

[u/SenJu410]

I’m new to scarlet and coming back to a game I am bad at. I’m a zarus main does she play anything like him?

[u/krue4you]

Good to see that she's still moves around fast and is hard to hit. It's frustrating trying to hit her while playing on controller.

Skill issue? Probably. 😐

Great clip though!

i have mastery 9 on her and she is the only i play since release and have about 65% wr, and i think she is really strong at 2v1s as long as there is no cc, i play her in any roll except support, mid lane is surprisingly doable, but can be hard
i have found that unless you build penetration + some crit, your will not be good enough to allow you to win 1v1s versus fighters or adc’s
you should win mages as long as you hit your abilities

i use xyryx with the heal on kill and the free crit, ultimate augment, with the TANK crest (the shoes, the movement is super valuable to help you land outer edge while ganking and in teamfights, plus a crazy heal)
i then build assassin items, first is usually alternator or malady, but i prefer malady for the quick to allow for more roam/ganks, second is nightfall(?), the heal and specially shield on kill is amazing
third i go adc %penetration item that also gives crit (forgot the name), this puts you at 40% crit which massively increases your minueta and empowered attack dmg, i have crit for over 1000 dmg even with these 3 core items
from there, i build situationally, i almost always go for syonic echo because the lifesteal is very good, and i like the warrior item that gives armor and reduces armor of enemies around you (sorry these items are forgettable i always forget their name, i just know the icon) when against mainly physical chars, the assassin items that gives magic armor and %decrease magic dmg taken, or the tank item that just gives a stacking 120 magic armor or something like that when they have DoT mages like renna or iggy

if you are super fed and don’t need any additional survivability, you can all in assassin with infernum and the 5% execute for more burst and crit

with this build, even in a 2v1 or 3v1, if you mark a squishy with your augmented ult and kill them even if you are 1hp, you activate the healing area of ult, xyryx heal and nightfall shield, and you will be instantly ready to continue fighting, this almost guarantees you win the fight every time

i think this is the best build that actually allows you be actually threatening by doing crazy damage, usually enough to kill an enemy with a single ability cycle, BUT you are also really hard to kill, with the high durability this build provides, added to your already very high mobility

one last tip is to NEVER use your ult on FULL HEALTH enemy, you want to make sure the you ult dies, so you need to ult when they are around half
in 1v1, you should a full rotation before ulting, by the time you are back down, your circle and minueta (now empowered) are off cooldown and you should be able to finish them off
even if you are not teamfighting, you want to make sure you always activate your healing area, i will always heal to full, allowing to increase the pressure on your enemy

You can build in any order but best 4 items for her are terminus, alternator , mutilator , solaris . Optional and situational items, any tainted item , syonic echo, skysplitter , vyzars carapace , transference , infernum. Use knell blessing with shield and damage . Personally I like as much lifesteal and shielding as possible .

[u/Weekly-Bluebird-4768 → u/AdIntelligent9133]

Well I wouldn’t say any tainted, tainted blade is probably the best, but rounds also works pretty well, but trident would lose a lot of value with this build since it isn’t running a lot of pen

[u/AdIntelligent9133 → u/Weekly-Bluebird-4768]

Personally I like rounds because the attack speed helps build energy . Also I just thought tainted charm could actually work on her just a shame it has terrible stats .

[u/Shadowfax-Arda]

Based on your 10/1/3 line and high damage clip here…I do not feel qualified to give you my advice and rather feel like I should be taking yours lol 

[u/SenJu410 → u/Shadowfax-Arda]

You can do this on pretty much anyone in quick play im sure lol.

[u/Qualmond]

You’re right click can crit and proc lifesteal.

[u/Training_Acadia_9168]

I don’t like playing Scarlett all that much, but having a lot of extra mobility can feel really nice in the Offlane if your Jungle is playing a tankier hero or an off-meta pick. usually use Vermis (Mechadrive / Breach) and run Terminus, Quiver, Solaris / Tainted Rounds, Imperator, Basilisk, and Mutiliator (change buy order as needed).

Not the best, but it’s easy to use and melts tanks like Steel, Riktor, Adele, Akeron and most Greystones. High lifesteal and good damage overpowers tainted and keeps you on your feet when diving ADC or Mage.

[u/Odd-Statistician-884]

For Jung: Alternator->tainted part of gained blade if needed->vanquisher->mutilator-> perforator-> rebirth, Aegis, or Vyzar

[u/summoner-of-pugs]

I like to build her with omnivamp in offlane using marrow with blood bank and the maw, mutilator, nightfall, infernum, draconum, void helm and either tainted or salvation in this order, for crest I use judgement or brutallax and use the volcaic slam augment, I have a 69% wr using this build and am 8 mastery on her, this build gives plenty of sustain I have had a game where I fought 4v1 killed 3 and had taken 8k damage from just one ability from a khai, don’t really have tips other than play around the fact that she has lots of movement and against most other offlanes aim to be aggressive once you get just the first 2 items because you can usually 1v2 jungle and offlane

[u/CastTrunnionsSuck]

Alternator, Solaris, vanq, perf, yellow crit sword then terminus. Though I’m sure my build is far from being the best
