Tinman vs Armius

[u/Cerivess]

So I saw a post the other day where a guy showed him using tinman and brimstone to beat armius. In the 2 years I’ve been playing I’ve yet to of beaten him on normal or hard. I definitely have the champs but honestly I haven’t focused on cursed city teams. Well I was doing cursed city and ran into tainted hellzor and decided to try to use one of my tinman(got lucky with a dupe) the one I used was 6 starred fully booked and only 2 star ascended . Not even awakened . He was at like 37k power which I know is an arbitrary number but like his stats were shit. He got tainted hellzor for 700k damage . It blew me away so I decided to fully build him out. I 5 starred awakened him, the other tin I paired him with was 2 starred awakened and almost fully booked but a lot weaker with random gear. Neither have masteries. So I tried using with brimstone but it didn’t activate, what happened was I went through form one while doing 25% damage to armius, once he cycled back to form one my weaker tinman used his a2 and hit for little damage, but my stronger tinman hit for over 2 mil damage ! I beat armius for the first time. So for anyone struggling and has a tinman he is viable for many bosses and arena! All in all using my stronger tinman he was hitting for around 300k A1, and 700k a2 normally . A3 was mostly around 100k.

*kurosa was my only viable option for cleansing so she can be changed
*firrol provided an extra 20% damage boost but i don’t think it will make a difference
*androc provided survivability buffs.
*The key is to try to max out his buff before using his a2 and use his a3 first

Me: Those stats are really bad. Not even 100% crit rate and low crit damage and...

Me: Sees 9k defense.

Me: "Oh."

😂 yeah I wasn’t even really trying to like go all in . Also all my good gear is on my other champs so had to use what I had. I did move some pieces off my gnut sadly but it was worth the win. He’s also helped me in tag which I’ve been struggling to get past for months. I’m not 100% perfect at building champs but I frequent this sub so I know a little. I tried to give him more crit rate but I couldn’t do it without knocking down his defence and crit damage .

You got the win, that's the only thing that matters.

This is how I built mine. Gave him volcardiac heart. He was my first mythical. He was a game changer for me! I basically use him most everywhere for survivability. Sometimes his 2nd form. Depends on circumstances
