Bruiser Teemo build with runes and items. Bruiser Teemo guide offers in-depth how-to play, skill order and tips. Play Bruiser Teemo build in League of Legends Patch 26.1!
You play Bruiser stacking HP, auto attacking and rushing one specific item. You adapt to enemy team, building tanky items.
You rush Titanic Hydra.
Titanic Hydra can be your only damage item. Then go full tank.
Your auto attacks are quite powerful, thanks to Titanic Hydra and Grasp of the Undying. It's your main source of damage + your abilities.
Playstyle
🌊 Rush Titanic Hydra early - it is your core and defines the build.
⚔️ Play aggressive and look for opportunities to stack Grasp of the Undying and to activate your Titanic Hydra.
💪 Stack health.
🛡️ Adapt your tankiness to the enemy team: build armor, MR, or sustain as needed.
How to play
General
This build is focused on a single item - Titanic Hydra.
How is this build different to other bruisers builds? The main difference is item rush order. You rush Titanic Hydra first, then adapt to the situation!
Remember to consume your Grasp of the Undying procs!
A very effective way of poking enemies is to use Titanic Hydra Active and hit minions in front of them (closer to them, better the effect).
Another effective way of poking enemies with Titanic, is to hit caster minions in the back.
Items
If you want to go more damage, Sundered Sky is an excellent damage item for this build. It scales off your HP (so with Grasp, Overgrowth). It gives damage and pretty good sustain in fights. Remember to switch targets to maximize the effect!
Adaptation
👊 If ahead, consider adding a second damage item to snowball.
🏰 If behind, focus purely on being frontline with Titanic Hydra as your only damage.
Enemy team heavy on AP? Buy MR. They heavy on AD? Buy Armor. You need some damage? Well buy that.
Champion
Guerrilla Warfare (Passive) gives a lot of attack speed. You can prep yourself for extra damage in fights, just stay still or walk in bush.
Tips and Tricks
Champion
Blinding Dart (Q)
Your Blinding Dart (Q) is a powerful tool against any auto attackers. If the enemy team has a strong carry that relies heavily on basic attacks, save your blind specifically for them.
Blinding Dart (Q) has a 680 range.
It's more than your auto attack range, which means you can safely Q from distance, but at the same distance you cannot auto attack.
Your Blinding Dart (Q) outranges most enemy champions’ auto attacks and many of their abilities. Use this range advantage to poke and harass safely.
Only step forward to add auto attacks if it’s safe and you want to trigger your Toxic Shot (E). Remember: Teemo’s auto-attack range is much shorter than Blinding Dart (Q)’s range, so closing the gap puts you at risk!
Noxious Trap (R)
The placement of your mushrooms should depend on how the game is going on.
Your team is losing? Better to start putting down your Noxious Trap (R) behind your team (because otherwise, you cannot protect them at all).
If the enemy team has strong engage, placing mushrooms behind your team helps punish dives and disengage fights.
If you are ahead and can safely defend your mushrooms, place them aggressively in front of your team to control space and pressure the enemy.
Another effective Noxious Trap (R) strategy is placing mushrooms directly on enemy minions or in the middle of fight. Enemies often don’t react quickly enough, allowing you to proc it instantly and deal sweet Noxious Trap (R) damage.
Riot
Teemo's mushrooms can be used to farm creep waves very effectively.
Place your mushrooms at key locations on the map, such as by the Dragon or Baron Nashor, to reveal when your enemies might be attempting to kill them.
