How it works

Bruiser Build specific
  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.
  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.

How to play

Bruiser Build specific
  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. 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!
  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).
  5. Another effective way of poking enemies with Titanic, is to hit caster minions in the back.
  6. Enemy team heavy on AP? Buy MR. They heavy on AD? Buy Armor. You need some damage? Well buy that.
  7. Remember to consume your Grasp of the Undying procs!

Tips and Tricks

General
  1. Your Realm Warp (R) is a very flexible ability. You can use it for engagement, to catch people off, to run away, to bait enemies, to scare them off. Do not wait for 'special moment' to use it!
Riot
  1. Use Overload's passive to optimize for maximum damage or maximum speed.
  2. Spell Flux's short cooldown allows it to be used to spread Flux to many enemies.
  3. Ryze can move and cast other spells while Realm Warp is charging without cancelling the portal.
