How it works

Glacial Augment Build specific
  1. You disrupt fights with CC and Glacial Augument, soak damage, peel off your carries or initiate for your team.
  2. You can rush Imperial Mandate as #1 item, then adapt to the enemy team - buy Armor or Magic Resist.
  3. Your Glacial Augument and slows trigger Font of Life, healing your allies.
  4. You benefit most from Ability Haste and lots of tankiness.

How to play

Glacial Augment Build specific
  1. Start the game with Guardian's Horn.
  2. Rush Imperial Mandate if you want to have fun with Glacial Augument. Otherwise, get items that are going to counter enemy team the most.
  3. Knight's Vow is a surprisingly good item.
  4. You are tank: adapt to enemy team. Enemy team heavy on AP? Buy MR. They heavy on AD? Buy Armor. You need some damage? Well buy that.
