Vulcan Guide

Introduction

"Anvil, meet hammer!" - Vulcan

So You Wanna Be A God with The Craftsman himself Vulcan? Vulcan is a very fun god to play because of his easy to pick up but hard to master play style. The most important factor of Vulcan is his positioning. Being that fact that he lacks an escape, you have to learn to space yourself properly when entering a team fight. Also I think this goes without saying but you Must Must Must MUST!!!! Ward!!!!!!
Anyways now that we got that out of the way Lets continue with the guide.

The Build

These will be your core items

	Book Of Thoth This is one of the first items you want to buy, so that you can start stacking as soon as possible. Only exception to this is maybe boots. Vulcan is a very mana hungry god. And once you get this online. You will hit so much harder and sustain so much longer with that almost seemingly infinite mana. I do suggest you build mage's blessing for the mana regen until you get enough gold to either complete boots or enough to get tier 2 Book of Thoth and Wards! On first back.
	Shoes Of The Magi This Item is just as important to build. If you decide to build this first I wouldn't blame you. Vulcan has no escape when being chased down by those dang aggressive junglers. This item is also great to get back to lane quicker. I'm sure most of this goes without saying though. Just know for all you newbies. Build boots!!!!
	Spear Of Desolation This will be your third most important item to build. This item will provide power, cool down, and penetration. If you decided to build magi's blessing then you will have an extra 10% cool down as well.

Everything else is up to you. I placed Items in both cases up top. If you're behind you might wanna build into a little defense, whether that be health or protections and Vice-Versa.

Master Craftsman

Whenever Vulcan successfully hits an enemy god with an ability he gains bonuses to Movement Speed and MP5 for 5s.

MY THOUGHTS

Vulcan's Backfire

MY THOUGHTS

Inferno Cannon

MY THOUGHTS

Now this is all personal opinion for me, but i definitely level this ability last. Now I have seen others level this second and be very successful, but their is something about landing your meatball into your backfire combo. Which is nothing short of awesomeness. Lets talk about the turret anyways, what uses does it have other than to pummel the **** out of enemies who step in the line of fire. Plus it doesn't miss, so if you suck at hitting abilities or basic attacks well this is the ability for you. First the turret is a great wave clear. In conquest you can set that baby up along the side of the wave so that the enemy doesn't destroy it using his wave clear, and let that machine handle your lightweight in a sense. The other great thing about it is the special mechanic with his wave clearing. Lets say you both back at the same time because your both out of mana and health, or even cause you need to get some WARDS!!!!!!!!! If you set that thingy majig up. It will actually clear the wave for you and you will reap all the gold from it as well. The turret is also a great aggro puller, for those of you who don't know what aggro is basically you being the target of the enemy. Trust me as the Mage you don't want the Aggro, Leave that for the tanks. Okay So as I was saying the Turret draws the aggro of the minions if you do not have minions or a teammate to stand and take the minion damage for you. You can use that to clear jungle camps early without taking extra damage because of your turret. I know this is a lot with one ability but just be patient i promise you will learn something by the end of this. The Turret also can tank skill shots from opponents like a Thanatos Scythe or an Ao Kuang Dragon Call. So set that baby down and sense it doesn't body block vulcan,run thru that life saver and live my boy live. This is a great spacing tool as well, if you have ever faced a great Vulcan you'll be the first to know is that the turret hurts and you definitely don't wanna run into it. So placing your turret correctly is pivotal to keep the enemy back and scared. Last thing on the turret i swear!!!! It is great to set the turret down away from the opposition when running away. You literally just sit in the blast radius and juke and dodge until the opponent either has to kill the turret or dies from it trying to kill you. Okay the turret is done.

Magma Bomb

Vulcan tosses a bomb that explodes in a radius on impact with the ground, damaging and knocking back nearby enemies.

MY THOUGHTS

Earthshaker

Vulcan launches a rocket that explodes on impact with the ground. The rocket starts at 60% strength, and increases in damage the further it travels from Vulcan.

MY THOUGHTS

Combo

Pop 'N' Lock

For this combo Pop N Lock, You wanna Throw out your Magma Bomb because its the easiest ability to hit. it also causes a nice knock up allowing you to hit your Backfire ability without the enemy able to juke it. It does require a little bit of skill and can be hard to hit in some situations. But it does provide the easiest way to score a nice attack. Once you've hit the Backfire set down the turret either inside of the opponent's range. Or you can set it in the direction you predict your opponent to retreat too. Rinse and Repeat and you got yourself a nice little Kill.

If I was to build divine ruin in which place would you say to build it?

(13) |

If you need you should get it third item.

, , , , , , sell boots for either or .

Hi. I found this very useful. But please update it to the latest patch? Maybe there are some item changes etc.
Just wondering would boots of speed can work on Vulcan since it gives 25% speed to outrun enemy and a nice MP5 gain since he is mana hungry? Just my little opinion.
Thank you.

You could get Bumba’s Mask on Vulcan.

works fine for me, and leveling up in this x3 event

(46) |

Not 100% sure about the start but guide looks good

Yea Boogie it can be risky to start tier 2 Book of Thoth. But If play back a lil bit you'll be fine. Its nice for Vulcan that his 1 doesn't use that much Mana. So he should be okay on Mana. You just gotta be careful on getting poked out early.

Thanks a lot, now I wanna play >:-(

U should he is a lot of fun. =p
