So looks dope as fuck, and always has. Shouting Shurima and summoning your soldiers to to beat the hell out of some kid [ this guy usually] is Alpha as Fuck. So today i decided ill try this champ out, I'm kinda alpha, so i bought Azir. After playing him a few games i realized that being that alpha isn't as easy as ---> <---- or easy at all. So this is a Shout out to any Azir mains, if you exist because i cant find you guys. Hit me up on this post with some tips, builds, etc. Hell add me up 1v1 Azir me I'm down. :)

You wanna know how to be even more alpha? Rush item 3101 , make your lane opponent regret ever leaving their mothers basement. Farm shit, get gold, rush item 3116 . at this point, you'll be thrusting your right arm fast enough to get your arm enough exercise to rival what these virgins get in a few hours alone. By 15-20 mins you should have , and if you've gotten fed enough, build that item 3115 . Get yourself item 3020 and go rush your ass to a teamfight. Win that flawlessly and keep farming up for one of the three: item 3285 , item 3089 , item 3135 . All are great so pick based on the enemy comp or what your team needs. If you haven't mastered the Donald Trump strategy already, practice that shit. W -> E -> Q and then build that fuckin wall and make your enemy cry

Hello,

I recently picked up Azir and he's so fun to play. Definitely the hardest champion to learn so far from me (I don't play Shaco - Lee - Cassiopeia) but he can pull off really good moves.

Runes: AP Quints - Mandatory Mpen Red - AS Red were popular once but now most pro runs Mpen Red (better harass in lane) Health per level Yellow - Even against a high AD threat (Zed/Talon) I run these, because you are rushing Seeker's anyway. Plus, your base health is really low, so you protect yourself from the jungler/roaming support DMG. CDR per level blues (my pref) or AP per level - I feel like Azir at 35% CDR with nashors is really really good. If you want to build Morello+Nashor don't get CDR as you'll exceed the 40% cap.

Masteries: Thunderlords no doubt. Don't forget to take Attack Speed instead of 2% DMG. Worth a lot.

You are really safe in lane in general. For hard AD matches, you take a second doran + seeker asap, every game. Against hard AP matchups (LB, Ahri), get negatron into abyssal or nashors.

Depending on how well you can farm, Morello's is not a necessity anymore; a second doran could help if you really need the regen. If you have a decent or good matchup, i'll always rush the nashors, then Rylai's.

In the laning phase, my usual strategy is to fast push lvl2. ASAP, get 2 soldiers up and Q to harass and proc Thunderlords. Rinse and repeat. Always use Q aggressively only if you are sure of the ennemy jungler position or you may die.

Sweet combo: If you already have a soldier in place, you can E to him but mid-dash Q to the ennemy. You'll proc the shield and then you can ult and kill him.

Late game you can play behind carries and you will melt probably everything that comes close, or you can go balls deep to make crazy plays. Make sure to have a Zhonya for this kind of play. And be prepared like me to miss a lot of these plays at the beginning. Small tip: don't press R too fast when you just E'd, or you'll push them forward instead of backwards to turret/allies. Another small tip: Azir in small 2v2 and 3v3 is REALLY good early game.

Hope it helps.

Dark Nephthys4/4/2016, 12:08:35 AM2 votes

A lot of people consider Azir to be the hardest champion to learn and I agree with him being one of (not entirely sure if I'd say hardest) but yea either way, he really is hard to get down and has a lot of potential for crazy plays. I play Azir a decent amount, though I still consider myself some one who's still learning him myself as well.

I could probably offer some tips but I'm sure you will want to wait until people with much more experience answer this thread. I usually just go for Thunderlords since that's probably the only really decent keystone for him...I guess you could try out stormraiders since he can easily proc that on squishy people, and I'm not sure if Deathfire can proc on soldiers. (Actually...would be kind of funny if Grasp of the undying worked with Soldiers...would have to test that some time).

Builds: I'll usually go with AP and Attack speed rune page, and go item 3115 item 3165 item 3116 item 3089 item 3135 probably in that order and for boots usually item 3020 or item 3006 . If you are facing a strong AD laner like Zed or Talon then I would replace the Morellos for Zhonyas.

I can't really say much more since I don't know him as much as I would like to. So I'll leave the actual gameplay tips to the more experienced Azir players, and just stay with what my general builds are.

Magic penetration is the secret for Azir

also don't touch these: item 3174 item 3165 item 3285

and in most cases try to make Nashor your 2nd item, it won't be much until you get some AP in your hands, Rod of ages is a better rush item (stack two rods and archangel's staff for shits and giggles, this is a build I am experimenting with).

I always go tanky with Azir, so Liandry, Rod, Rylai are a necessity. Some people would argue against Liandry, but combined with Sorcerer and some nice magic pen runes and the scaling magic pen mastery, you would have 50 magic pen by mid game (that's my tally). ADC magic resist would be non-existent. For even more punishment, take a voidstaff, but I don't use those much.

My final item would be split between A tank item (Spirit visage preferably for the CDR, or any 500 hp armor item) or Rabadon for maximum destruction.

item 3006 on Azir is a new idea to me and I've never experimented with it, but I find it very hard to trade that lovely pen for more attack speed.

Oh and have a shot in costume games at different drift techniques, summoning a soldier, dashing to him, and Q-ing the soldier mid-dash to another location, this takes a while to master properly, but if you master it, you joined the relatively small drift Azir club

Experiment with different spots to pull this, the farther you are from the soldier and the closer you are to him when you press the Q, the more potential and space the drift can cover, you can also use a quick drift from your spawn over the nexus by standing on the edge of the stairs, spawning a soldier and sending him through the nexus (he would stand on the other side now, between the two turrest), dashing, and Q-ing him away for even more dash-distance, nice move to get back to the lane quick.

99% of my Azir games are Flash + TP in all lanes and all roles

but I think ignite and barrier and exhaust are viable on him, even though I frown upon ignite as a noob summ ability.
