Full Crit Blitzcrank build with runes and items. Full Crit Blitzcrank guide offers in-depth how-to play, skill order and tips. Play Full Crit Blitzcrank build in League of Legends Patch 25.05!
You go in and play around Hail of Blades to burst enemies.
You back away and wait for Hail of Blades. Repeat.
This build works best if enemy team has squishy champions. If you are against a lot off-tanks/bruisers, this might not be best build. You can make it work, however, by rushing Lord Dominik's Regards.
How to play
General
This build shines with 100% crit. You will instakill squishes. Until that, it might be challenging to 100-0 anyone. Look for opportunities to go in and score kills. Also focus on farming minions if possible (to scale faster).
Wait for your moment to go for a kill. You have a big burst thanks to Full Crit and Hail of Blades, but you are squishy. And outside of Hail of Blades procs (especially early game) you don't have much damage.
Snowball / Mark is an essential cooldown for this build. Do not waste it or even wait to hit the enemy at point-blank range to ensure hit (so you follow them, if they Flash).
Enemy team might not check your items right away, you could use that for your advantage to nuke unsuspected enemy.
After they checked your items and noticed that you have damage and are squishy, they are going to target you in fights. Be careful, after early game probably you need to modify your playstyle and stay back and wait for a good moment to join fights.
If they have tons of CC, get Mercury's Treads, Edge of Night or even Mercurial Scimitar to counter that.
If you are not doing well, or an enemy team is slightly ahead, you can adapt and buy tank items. Worst case scenario, you can sell everything late game and 'respec' into full tank.
Tips and Tricks
Hook Combos
To make sure that you chain CC after pulling somebody with Q, use R before E (if they some good ways of getting out) - Q + R + E
If enemy has some kind of ability / item / Flash that can counter your Rocket Grab (Q) and they are waiting for your Q animation, use Static Field (R) first to silence them.
General combo is to Q + auto + E + auto + R. More autos you land, bigger damage you land thanks to Static Field (R) Passive (on-hit proc explosion).
Rocket Grab (Q)
Sometimes it is better to hold on your Rocket Grab (Q), rather than using it if you are not sure if you hit it. It puts pressure on the enemy, as they need to take into account your Q.
If enemy is juking you left and right, just get close to him with your Overdrive (W), then punch him with Power Fist (E) and then finally use Rocket Grab (Q) to catch him.
Be careful who you pull with Rocket Grab (Q)! As sometimes you might lose fight just by yourself.
Power Fist (E)
Power Fist (E) resets auto attack. Use it for your advantage when fighting in melee range and when pushing turrets.
Static Field (R)
Instead of using Static Field (R) right away, after you catch somebody, punch them few times (AA + E + AA) before using R. This way you will do more damage, thanks to your R Passive (on-hit proc explosion).
Static Field (R) destroys shields, use it for your advantage and hold your R when enemy champions get big shields.
Riot
The 1-2-3 combo of Rocket Grab, Power Fist, and Static Field can devastate an individual opponent.
Using Blitzcrank's grab to pull an enemy into your tower range followed by a Power Fist will allow the tower to get several hits on them.
