|| EVERY ITEM WITH NOTES!! ||
This is a Spirit Bruiser Carry build that makes Apollo an unkillable killing machine. All items are noted and benefit Apollo the absolute best.
Order is pretty much left to right, but think about your lane opponents.
Bad Lane
Optional
CORE
Somewhat left to right but depends a lot more on how the game is going. Read annotations.
Situational Gun
Optional
Late Game Luxury
OptionalPick and choose which seems smartest, all items have annotations.
Situational Melee
Optional
Counters
OptionalUntil reaching Late Game Luxury, you should always have at least one slot open for a counter.
Old Swap Outs
OptionalThese are items that were core that are not as good as others in the current patch. May come back into core after one/two patches!
Notes
Optional1. Tankbuster is a bait item and 99% of the times is a bad buy compared to other items. 2. As soon as you get Trophy Collector, the enemy guardian in your lane should be downed already. If not, its okay, but ideally as soon as you buy trophy you can either A: Gank and get super easy stacks that way, or B: Insta-pressure enemy walker. You are way stronger at that point even in 1v2 and bad enemies will try to defend walker/fight you. Comm to your team and even if you die it will be hugely benefitting for your team. 3. Dont skip on healbane, sell it for spirit burn if slotlocked. 4. Once you are at Radiant/Snatch you are (against smart enemies) at your strongest point in the game, the next 5-8 minutes will be your remaining time to properly dish out damage. If enemies arent smart and dont counterbuy, skip on Warp Stone and E-Shift and insta go for Spirit Burn/Reverb. 5. Try to lane against easy targets like Supports and Carrys. Rem + Pocket is Apollo's best lane if you play well. Their abilities are super easily Riposted and fighting against Support and -15 Spirit Resist is free. 6. No matter the nerfs, stand proud for Ixia. Ixians never cry.
