Titanic Hydra Zaahen Build

1. You play Bruiser stacking HP, auto attacking and rushing one specific item. You adapt to enemy team, building tanky items.
2. You rush Titanic Hydra.
3. Titanic Hydra can be your only damage item. Then go full tank.
4. Your auto attacks are quite powerful, thanks to Titanic Hydra and Grasp of the Undying. It's your main source of damage + your abilities.

1. 🌊 Rush Titanic Hydra early - it is your core and defines the build.
2. ⚔️ Play aggressive and look for opportunities to stack Grasp of the Undying and to activate your Titanic Hydra.
3. 💪 Stack health.
4. 🛡️ Adapt your tankiness to the enemy team: build armor, MR, or sustain as needed.

1. This build is focused on a single item - Titanic Hydra.
2. 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!
3. Remember to consume your Grasp of the Undying procs!
4. 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).

Items

1. 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

1. 👊 If ahead, consider adding a second damage item to snowball.
2. 🏰 If behind, focus purely on being frontline with Titanic Hydra as your only damage.
3. Enemy team heavy on AP? Buy MR. They heavy on AD? Buy Armor. You need some damage? Well buy that.

Cultivation of War (Passive)

1. Passive stacks much faster when abilities hit multiple targets - Dreaded Return (W), Aureate Rush (E), and Grim Deliverance (R) give extra stacks per champion hit.
2. Always weave auto-attacks between abilities to maintain and build passive stacks.
3. You can be way more aggressive when passive is at max stacks as your revive gets available.

The Darkin Glaive (Q)

1. The Darkin Glaive (Q) is an auto-attack reset. Auto attack first, then use Q to reset and attack again immediately.
2. You can insta knock up enemies. Prepare Q2 beforehand (i.e. on minions), then activate it, issue attack on the enemy and Flash for the sweet CC.
3. Use The Darkin Glaive (Q) to sustain.

Dreaded Return (W)

1. To ensure your W hit, first knock enemy up with Q2.

Aureate Rush (E)

1. E can be used as a short dash or canceled entirely when used around walls.
2. You can use E + Flash, but you need to do it at right time at very last frames of the ability.

Grim Deliverance (R)

1. Grim Deliverance (R) is very versatile tool. You can use it offensively to initiate or defensively for survivability or escape.
2. As your Grim Deliverance (R) provides 50% damage reduction during cast as well as healing, you can use it as crucial defensive cooldown in fights. Don't waste it at maximum health, but time it well, for example to survive burst.
