Broadsword Total Ownage

The Broadsword build using Hunter Hood, Mercenary Jacket, Scholar Sandals, Facebreaker or Sarcophagus Shield, Martlock Cape, Baked Porgfish, and Healing or Gigantify Potions is a completely off-meta setup, but extremely effective in honest duels where the fight is decided by timing, mechanics, and defensive precision.

⚔️ Core Concept This build focuses on winning 1v1 fights through: Consistent damage from Broadsword stacks

Interrupting key enemy abilities with your E

High sustain through the Mercenary Jacket

Damage reflection with Hunter Hood

The playstyle is straightforward: trading head-on, using your defensives at the perfect moment — usually in reaction to the enemy’s major burst skill.

🛡️ Gear Breakdown • Broadsword Your E is your strongest tool:

Interrupts enemy abilities Deals burst damage Grants movement speed

Lets you stick to your target and stop their combo

IMPORTANT: You should always try to use your E with maximum passive stacks (3 stacks). This gives:

Maximum damage Maximum mobility Maximum fight pressure

However: If you need to interrupt a critical enemy ability, you should absolutely use your E even without max stacks. Stopping enemy burst is more valuable than saving stacks.

• Shield (Facebreaker or Sarcophagus)

Facebreaker: more aggressive and pressure-focused. Sarcophagus: more defensive and stable for long fights.

Choose based on your preferred style.

• Hunter Hood Your reflect tool. Activate when your opponent:

Commits to burst Uses rapid DPS combos Has no way to disengage

They will damage themselves heavily, forcing them to back off or die outright.

• Mercenary Jacket The heart of your sustain. Provides massive healing with your fast Broadsword autos. Best used after you interrupt the enemy’s burst or when you have clear uptime to hit. Turns your off-meta setup into a real off-tank duelist.

• Scholar Sandals Maintain your mana and let you reposition when needed. Use the active to:

Recover energy Avoid burst Reset spacing during trades

• Martlock Cape Your emergency defense. It activates on low HP, helping you survive all-ins and turn close fights around.

🍗 Consumables • Baked Porgfish Increases damage and max HP, perfect for straight-up trading. • Healing or Gigantify Potion Healing Pot: most consistent sustain. Gigantify: great against high burst; increases HP and mitigates kill pressure.

🧠 How to Play (Step-by-Step)

1. Build up your Broadsword stacks (Q) before committing. Stacks increase your E damage and movement speed.
2. Aim to use your E with 3 stacks. This gives the highest pressure and best engagement.
3. Blow your E early only if you must INTERRUPT a key enemy ability. Stopping their combo is often more important than maximizing your damage.
4. After winning the trade with your E, activate Mercenary Jacket. You need to be hitting the enemy to gain full healing value.
5. Use Hunter Hood during the enemy’s burst window. Make them hit themselves and punish bad timing.
6. Manage energy with Scholar Sandals. Without mana, this build collapses.
7. Let Martlock Cape save you in the final moments. Gives you a second wind to finish the fight.
