NeNe Kappa

Kuzenbo summons and throws the powerful NeNe Kappa, who can ricochet off of walls. After firing, if the NeNe Kappa bounces off of a wall it will travel 70 units from that point up to a maximum of 2 bounces. After reaching maximum range, or if an Enemy God is hit by the NeNe Kappa, it will burst forth from its shell, slowing and attacking them for 6s. Kuzenbo transfers 20% of his Health and Protections to the NeNe Kappa.

Kuzenbo charges forward, immune to slows and roots, damaging Enemy minions and silencing using his immense strength to push the first Enemy God he hits along with him.

Chapter Title

This is my first build guide. It's less of a guide and more a build list. In my eyes Kuzenbo is pretty self explanatory when you look at his abilities. Kuzenbo is one of my favorites and can be very effective in arena. Arena is also the sole focus of this build. I only play arena, so it's all I know.

This build is nothing special, but I don't see other zenbo builds like this. I always build heavy tank for arena. This build allows you to reflect a ton of damage when you use your shell and thorns effectively. Buying mystical mail 2nd allows the constant tick damage from it to play more of a role in the early game. Buy it 2nd or don't buy it at all (technically third when using guardians blessing). Like other builds, midgame once you have relic dagger (around level 10) is when you'll start to find the stride. Take care not to over extend yourself, and know when to retreat. Late game is even better. Most of your damage dealt will be reflected damage so maximize your hang outs and let your friends finish the enemy off.

First relic is bracers, second is shield of thorns. Bracers take a bit of practice to really maximize the item but when it's timed correctly, it is an amazing relic. Obviously both of these relics pair nicely with relic dagger.

I'm open to suggestions on all of this, especially the final item. I usually buy doom orb last for the power and movement speed, sometimes I sub Doom orb for ethereal staff, and lately I've been using Pridwen in final slot with some success. I usually deal about 30k - 35k damage per round while being able to set up team mates for combos and split up enemy teams. I used to buy hide of nemean lion, but the new version of it is not nearly as effective. Give this a try and let me know what your results are.
