Different skill paths

If you want a more risky route to early game, start 1, then go 3 and then 2, then follow the rest of the guide. This makes minion clear easier yet more risky at level 1.

Thanks for looking at my guide!

For all of you that suggested I run Erethral Staff instead of Warlock’s Staff, I would like to thank you for your feedback and give credit to you. Kriga1 helped me realize that I have one too many stacking items in the build, and Erethral staff is an amazing, non stacking replacement for Warlock’s

Saberto | October 26, 2019 11:23am
On a side note, I would like to say I believe this build is close to finished, at some point I have to stop with the edits. If anybody has any other suggestions as of now though, I’m still happy to make changes!

Kriega1 (143) | October 26, 2019 2:51am
Er.... why do both of your conquest builds delay Spear of the Magus to last item? It's literally the most damaging item in your build and you're getting it LAST, like it's pointless even picking it up at that point, you may as well just get Obs Shard for tanks. How did you manage to make a version of the build that is worse than the previous one?

If you're going Shoes of Focus on Anubis your first 3 items should always be: Bancroft's Talon, Shoes of Focus, Spear of the Magus.

If you go Shoes of the Magi, you can delay it to 4th spot (because of pen boots + Anubis passive), e.g. Bancroft's Talon, Shoes of the Magi, Typhon's Fang, Spear of the Magus.

Saberto | October 26, 2019 11:15am
Also, want to say thank you for this. Again a friend convinced me to put Shoes of Focus instead of shoes of the majai, this explanation makes sense to me. I have made edits accordingly.

Saberto | October 26, 2019 10:56am
I understand this, but I just can’t push off getting the stacking items for any longer in the build. I will put shoes of the majai instead of the focus. Also thank you for all of your great input here!

(Edit: I am going to take out warlocks now because I realize this kit can’t have more than one stacking item with how good each item in Anubis’ build is)

Also, just want to put it out there that I got my first 20-1 achievement in conquest using this build with Anubis. Thanks for the people that helped with suggestions, you really helped me get the achievement! (I went 21-1, probably wouldn’t have gotten to 20-1 without your help!)

Kriega1 (143) | October 26, 2019 2:56am
Yes 20-1 is nice and all, but we don't know the skill level of your opponents or your teammates.

Saberto | October 26, 2019 10:57am
It wasn’t very great I’ll admit that. It’s more of just to thank you guys for helping make my build!

Stacking Warlocks on Anubis third item in conquest? That’s literally putting yourself behind and giving yourself pain for free (well you get that from playing Anubis anyway cause he’s bad). I’d replace it with Ethereal Staff, and get it after spear of the Magus.

Also 1st Relic should either be beads or aegis depending on your lane matchup / enemy jungler, if you have blink you’re going to be an easy kill early game.

It can be matchup dependent, but lvl 1 on Anubis you can get either his 1 or 3 for clear, with the 1 being the faster (though potentially riskier) clear.

Saberto | October 24, 2019 5:52pm
First of all, I wanted to say that I originally thought that warlocks would be a bad item on Anubis in conquest. I never built it until recently, when my friend suggested it to me. It may be a sort of meh item when you first get it, but when you get it to evolve lategame it is insane, with high power +500 health, and mana. If you really wanted to you could take it out and push all the items one slot higher, getting you gem of isolation or chronos' pendant as your last item. However I wouldn't recommend that because this set is focused around being strong late game.

(Edit: The reason why i think the +500 health is good on Anubis is because of how squishy he is without health items. Plus this allows you to lifesteal more to your health cap)

For the relics look at both Bran's comment, and my section on the different relics you can use. Anubis doesn't have many escapes, so blink is almost a must. However, in extreme cases, you can start a different rune if needed, that is part of what the section on it is for.

Kriega1 (143) | October 25, 2019 1:57am
I don’t think you understand. Building Warlocks is pretty much pointless when Ethereal Staff is a better item. Also lifesteal is based on damage, not your max health.

Blink isn’t awful on Anubis, but you overvalue it. Remember you have to be out of combat for 3 seconds to use it.

So, understand that historically, Warlock's Staff has been a common stacking item for Anubis. That said, it's not considered the strongest item right now, but don't let that stop you from using it if you like it.

Mostly, though, what Kriega was talking about was that you're building it late. Stacking items (e.g. Devourer's Gauntlet, Transcendence, Warlock's, and Book of Thoth) are usually prioritized so you can start earlier in the stacking process, especially early game when things are also slower in ways.

When you do build it, it's usually a starting item purchase (meaning get the T1 of it plus Blessing, or straight into T2), finish shoes, then finish the stacking item. You're delaying that to more of the mid-game, when things start ramping up...but if you're working into Warlock's, you're slowing down your mid-game, when things get more damaging, people are building pen, etc.

Hi! So, when it comes to the way the build/guide is laid out, I think there's a lot of creative ways you can categorize your information. I'm not gonna talk about the build itself because Bran did a good job discussing that.

So first off, like what Bran said, try separating your builds to minimize confusion. At a quick glance it is quite difficult to understand what is going on. Also, consider separating your item choices into categories (or purchase orders) such as: "core"; items that are a must buy. "offensive"; a few options to give the viewer variety, with a note telling them how many to pick from the given list (and the same thing for defensive items). And maybe a P.O. for possible relic options. You could potentially end with an finished example build for people who are here for a quick look and don't have time or knowledge to choose themselves.

Alternatively, you could always just post one finished build, maybe your preferred build, with a list of situational/replacement items. This will keep it simple and to the point, while still offering other options.

Regarding your current notes, perhaps you could keep them more to the point. A lot of the key information regarding your build can be contained within the guide itself, maybe a chapter dedicated to explaining your options/explaining what to do.

Lastly, rather than explaining how to upgrade the abilities, you could create an ability levelling order. They are quite easy to make, so long as you make sure the ability levelling is actually possible in game.

If you are interested, feel free to PM me and I can share some coding tips. I'd be happy to give you some code for interesting layout designs. You can check out my guide to see what to expect and to see if your'e into it.

I'm new to making guides, so any feedback would be great! I also main Anubis so it would help me in game, fire away with comments.

Hi Saberto,

I think the biggest suggestion I can give you is to create separate builds for Arena and Conquest. The way I'd build him is completely different in those 2 modes.

For example, I probably wouldn't bother with an item like Warlock's Staff in Arena. I also might not build it depending on the role I'm playing him in, in Conquest.

One other part of that is how you'd start in those 2 modes. Completely different. Rush shoes in Arena, but in Conq, you'd build the appropriate Blessing, the T1 item of whatever you're going to be building early, etc.

Typhon's Fang should never, ever EVER be built early. It is a good, solid item for Anubis, but should ALWAYS be built later in the game, AFTER you've built your first lifesteal item. Yes, you're right that Typhon's passive gets benefit from Anubis' passive, but it's way better once you've gotten a bigger earlier lifesteal boost. You said that Typhon's passive goes well with the passive...but keep in mind, so does Bancroft's. If I could provide a parallel, it would be maybe Tahuti. It has high power and scales off of existing power, so it'll always give you some kind of boost, but it's better once you have a higher base of power. Also, the cost is higher for Typhon's compared to Bancroft's, and you want to go for lower cost items early, when possible.

If you're playing him Mid in Conq (I see your notes), you shouldn't get Teleport. Mid is the shortest distance, and Anubis, with 0 mobility, needs some safety. It's boring, I know, but your first relic as a Mid should always be either Beads or Aegis.

As for when it seems you want to build Spear of the Magus...it looks like you prioritize other items like Shaman's Ring before it. I would suggest getting it earlier. That pen is going to be incredibly powerful, allowing you to do true damage on squishies, and being able to still chunk health from tanks.

As for late-game, Obsidian Shard should probably be an option. I know it brings inefficiency, math-wise, with the presence of Magus, but if you're facing a heavier tank team, Ob-Shard late is still a good idea.

Saberto | October 24, 2019 12:58pm
Thanks for the feedback, this is some really good stuff! I never really understood why people rushed bancroft's before typhon's and now I get that. Also I had Obsidian Shard in the back of my mind, however I thought it was just too situational to recommend. I think I'll edit this into a conquest guide and make another for arena. Thanks for the help.
