Hey Folks!

I played a lot of brusier lately, prefered Guan Yu and Odin in Arena. I'm having problems with Assassins in general, so I wanted to ask if Fenrir is viable as a bruiser in Arena. And if yes, what items would you build him.

Also: Are there other assassins that can be played as a bruiser and still perform well? (Especially: is Thanatos viable? Can't play him at all :D)

I have heard of Fenrir using a bruiser build and I don't play fenrir much so I don't know any builds. And I've never heard of a bruiser Thanatos.

I heard that Bruiser Fenrir is viable in Conquest, but not sure of this. Thanatos will probably bs as a bruiser :D

Any more comments?

... is this a real question?

fenrir is an early/mid game assassin that is build like a bruiser. thanatos is an early/mid game (late game if fed) assassin that is build around being an assassin. this has been asteblished for a very long time.
never forget dawngate and never forgive EA. Freia will hunt them for eternity.

As I said, I don't know anything about assassins, except that they do damage^^ And I never played vs a bruiser Fenrir.

May I ask what items would be good on him?

I would assume bruiser items. Like voidblade, eye of retaliation, etc...

Happy to give you the build I'm using.

Warrior Tabi, Voidblade(RIP Focused), Frostbound Hammer, Jotunn's Wrath,Eye of Retaliation*, and a situational.

Titan's Bane if people aren't quite dieing fast enough, Runic Shield if you have a burst mage blowing you to bits, Magi's Blessing for hard cc, and the Brawler's Cudgel isn't half bad for beating down healers. Although this item should only be built if you have nothing else and i mean really nothing else.

Actives: Purification Beads(no brainer), Heavenly Agility and Weakening Curse

*This isn't the right Eye O_o update someone?
*Edit: Yay my first experiment with BB coding is a success :D
How sad i can be so happy about putting a few words between 4 brackets :P

Where'd you get the idea that Thanatos could go bruiser anyways? That's as much sense as Hel going tank. He has one of the lowest life totals (2nd lowest right?), low defense and health growth and on top of it all eats his own health to use abilities.......

Keep in mind also that Thanatos eats a % of his health. Increasing your health total with items will not help you. Increase it by 100, use your 1st ability Thana will eat his own health by 10 more.

For bruiser Fenrir I usually build Warrior Tabi; Jotunn's Wrath; Voidblade; Transcendence; Runic Shield; Hydra's Lament.


Why Transcendence? Because I mainly play Fenrir as a caster, and late-game he can burn mana.
