Skill Order

For maximum damage you will want to max out Shield of Achilles first followed by Combat Dodge and Fatal Strike. Radiant glory will be an after-thought.

Combos

Achilles combos are simple but effective. If possible initiate with blink followed by Shield of Achilles, after the stun auto once combat dodge for the hydra proc followed by the second charge of Combat dodge for a second Hydra Proc. If you have landed all the abilities any squishy will be dead and tanks will most likely be in the execute threshold of you ultimate if not already dead.

Even if you're jungling, you still need some type of protection: Void Shield and Ancile are both good items for a jungler. As it is, I can't upvote this guide in its current state. Remove the crit items and add in defense and I'll reconsider my vote.

Hey PewiRockz, have a few questions about your guide for ya.

- First I'm curious as to why you've chosen crit over a pen route. It's my understanding that Achilles works wonders with a pen build as he has tons of ability damage in his kit. On the same topic, I'm wondering why you don't seem to have any penetration at all. Even crit builds tend to have a Titan's Bane or something along those lines.

- Why do you max Shield of Achilles first instead of Combat Dodge? Every pro I've seen play Achilles has done so using Combat Dodge.

It's better to max Combat Dodge yes, but Shield of Achilles is better for wave/camp clear, so it's not like it's completely unreasonable for them to prioritise it.
