Last three items are interchangabel depending on how you play. And dont be afraid to play with this build and try diffrent combos

Tap each threat level to view Thanatos’s threats
Last three items are interchangable. You want a little cool down to obtain your ult more often late game. And only having a lvl 1 ult for almost the whole game makes it an escape or stun tool. Less of a dmg tool to try and keep you from diving into crazy fights. And please dont be afraid to give suggestions after playing around with this build and customizing it to yourself. The feed back will be tested and added if its good ^-^

My suggested damage build:
Replace any item (not boots) with a defensive option like
I would personally replace a flat penetration item.
Please disregard the above suggestions. When I made these suggestions, I was in jungle practice and momentarily confused flat penetration with physical power. Physical power can be overcapped (with jungle buffs and potions), but flat penetration can't.

Of course, buy defensive/hybrid items earlier if you're getting focused by the enemy. Buy them later if you're good at positioning and not being focused.
Aggressive Damage Combo: 4, basic attack, 2, basic attack, 3, basic attack, 1, basic attack.
Also, I disagree with his use of
Bran, be
You will never overcap power. Also, I disregarded your other comments because that's what I do.
Your glass builds look good, but I might even suggest offering another build that doesn't rely on Trans, or builds Trans later. It just really delays the rest of his kit.
In the bruiser build, I might consider
In the anti-heal bruiser, go
Another functional bruiser item would be
Did you even read what I wrote? I said I momentarily confused power and flat penetration, and gave non optimal build suggestions due to that blunder. Although POSSIBLE, you likely won't overcap power, but you WILL over cap flat penetration. Yea no kidding man, "I disregarded your other comments because that's what I do" couldn't be a more accurate statement from you. Ok, all jokes aside. Let me respond to your "criticism".
Yea, I can agree with getting the
I can also agree with getting the
There's nothing wrong with getting
Ok, is this better?

Anti Heal Bruiser:
I know it's not bad to build both pest and bbs, but if you need to build bbs, it's likely another, tanker teammate, will build pest. 2 pests has that possibility of inefficiency (since the auras don't stack) and I don't think you should propose a standard build that covers specifically when teammates don't actually do their job.
Again, it's not about team mates doing their job or not,
I need to see you get good. Sure, next time man."27 kills my first match" =
I'm trolling and just created a new account so I'm smurfing this one and I'll build whatever tf I want.
No offense, but against normal competition, this is a terrible build.
Sorry, let me try again. Can you do well with this build? Sure, it's got very high power (but almost 0 penetration from items), but there are major issues with functionality on the build. Either you're facing low level competition, your skill level is crazy high, or you've always got good teammates to cover you and allow you to deal damage. And that's no excuse or good reason to use this build as-is.
You've got healing in your
As boogie says,
And only the 10% MS? Sure, you've got situational/temporary MS out of
Finally...why wouldn't you just max out
Those are the major flaws I see.
In a troll build with better flow, I can see using
Is it against the rules to have a build which most people think isn't (even close to) optimal?
I don't mind archiving if one or more of the following criteria are met:
- The build includes items which the god it was made for can't even purchase
- The skill sequence is impossible to fill out the way it is displayed in the cheatsheet
- The title and description of the guide make it abundantly clear that the guide was only made to waste people's time
If one or more of these hold true, the build/guide is basically the equivalent of a spam topic/comment on the forums. However, whether or not #3 is true is normally a little harder to figure out than it is for #1 & #2, and it should be reviewed strictly on a case by case basis. In this case, I don't believe the author meant to release this as a "troll build".Before we get into off meta/unique ways of playing certain gods, i want to make sure Vlad knows how to play a standard thanatos
But yeah, it's important to understand normal builds and build orders before going off on unique builds that offer different advantages (which this one is too unfocused to really do).
