AP Tiamat Discussion | Part 2

Hello Again!

From my previous post of the same title, I gave you guys a broad question of "How would an AP Hydra work out if one were to be made?". Responses overall were pleasing, as some brainstorming came up with some good responses.

However, I just thought that the AP Hydra could actually be an AP Bruiser item for champs like Rumble and Diana and Maokai (these guys can build tank to fill that role), who use autos AND spells, but tend to fall off later due to their spells not being able to deal enough damage to survive a fight. (OK, maybe Diana can survive it thanks to her burst, but she's been unchanged for a while)

The reason I'm saying it could be a bruiser item, is that if you guys saw the Abyssal Scepter rework on the PBE for a few cycles (it was taken off because it wasn't really making much progress) the Abyssal Scepter rework had it give less AP, more Magic Resistance, but also HP and a new passive aura that worked like a sunfire cape, but reduced MR with each burst of damage from the Abyssal.

AP Hydra could work something like that, where it gives a small bit of HP and AP, like Rylai's, but also a passive and active that would synergize well with AP fighting bruisers that cycled between auto attacks and spells.

What do you guys think? Let's have a brainstorm session!

Diana doesn't need buffs... Rumble is ok, he is manaless spammer and buffs can break him. Mao is primary played as tank and Titanic Hydra can be bougnt on him now.

I agree with the Diana thing, but hey, item choices are good Agree with Rumble as well. Mao, idk, in lane he can be played as an AP bruiser, but jungle forces him to become tank. Plus, I've never heard/thought of getting Titanic on Maokai... Is it any good?

They should just finish the damn abyssal scepter

Ikr, I was excited when I first saw it, and thought it would be pretty cool... But then it takes forever for them to finish it... Maybe theyre waiting until the Immobile Mage update to introduce the new Abyssal.

Yea i figured it be good together with Sunfire on a tanky dude who can stand in the middle of the enemy team and shred their mr for the mage.

Or for tank karthus, somethign i used to enjoy untill all his core items got nerfed :P

It is a shame to be a Karthus player, I agree. But then again, Liandry's and New Abyssal with Karthus E on might be really strong (if Riot keeps it the same, that is).

Yea liandries if there is room in the karthus build ^^ I used to go

summoner 6 summoner 3 Karthus item 3040 item 3800 item 3020 item 3143 item 3001 item 3075

Sit on enemy carry your e w and q then exhaust

3 slows multiple speedboost geared towards destroying adc, and if you die its ok just ult and spam q.

Its all about making the opponents as useless as you are lol x'D

OMG XD (Rylai's might get a flash or two out of them if you get close enough to them for your E to damage them) Now I want to try this, but I don't want to go against Ekko or someone super mobile... Or 'Raka...

It'll be good times since I have Pentakill Karthus :)

Well sure sometimes a rylai can fit in or a liandries,

But you will need Seraph for mana and Righteous glory for engage.

there is a guide on tank karthus on mobafire .
