Bruiser Bakasura Viable?

Forum » Theory Crafting » Bruiser Bakasura Viable? 2 posts - page 1 of 1

So recently I was playing a match as Bakasura. I bought my usual items, (Heartseeker, HotG) and went off to blue buff, to find an Arachne/Freya already there, waiting for me. Creeping cursed with 3 broodling eggs and 2 gods was a very quick first blood. The game started to go downhill, and before I knew it, I was 2/5. So I decided to just go for tank items to counter atleast Arachne. First I bought Hide, then Witchstone. To my surprise, it turned the lane around fast. Freya was easily burst down anyways, hence the 2 kills, but arachne, who previously was wrecking me, was now getting destroyed. Anyways, we finished out the game and I ended 10/8, and started doing very well lategame, even getting to initiate as bakasura. (Which you really are NOT supposed to do, as he is very squishy, but good for cleaning up) So, is there an actual build centered around Bruiser Bakasura that anyone has? Would like to try this more.

Rep me up if I helped!

While it is possible due to the true damage, if you do have a tank and several bruisers it's not recommended. If you're in a lobby and people are picking squishy people, Bakasura is one of those gods you don't want to pick first, he's usually build-oriented, a team that wants him or needs to him carry has to build around him, you can't normally fit him in as something unless it's needed or you're playing with friends. Trust me, wait to pick Bakasura, a better tank that does his job much better with higher potential is Thor, Bruiser Thor is amazing. DPS Ymir, DPS Odin, and even DPS Sobek, it can be done much more effectively by people who aren't even meant to be built AD, all you need to know is that you can go two ways with Bakasura. Sustained Death or Burst Death, those are the most effective branches. A combination of the two can be found on my guide.

Also, use your camera view to look around corners in the jungle, and always have your teammates nearby, there isn't a pure jungle scene in this game yet, the idealogy is for your lane that you're supporting, unless it's like Ao Kuang or Ra, to get an early XP advantage which could lead to kills a lot faster. Taking XP purely leaves your teammates behind and opens yourself to easily dying. Also 1 ranged hit kills those spider eggs. Having a ranged teammate is nice if you're laning against an Arachne. **** spiders.
