Chase The Enemy! This build is built by scaling Ao Kuang Basic attack speed/lifesteal/damage NOT his Abilities. Hi, my name is FirmSlap and this heres my guide to an awesome Ao Kuang is the Eastern Sea Dragon God that brings chaos and is to be treated as such. Feeble in the beginning, new players may take quite sometime getting used to the learning curve and patience required to play a character like Ao Kuang or The Morrigan versus a god like Anubis for example. Playing a god such as Ao Kuang in 2019 can be quite a challenge due to so many other gods having multiple stuns, roots, knockups, and sleeps. Yes, CC can be beyond annoying but, were The King of The Eastern Seas remember? Surely we have prepared counter-measures for this obstacle. Patience! Ahhh yessss, Patience! In a generation so void of it how could one ever muster the perseverance needed to accomplish such a feat? I FirmSlap have found The Answer! Wait. Yes. Wait. Simply wait till your team lowers the HP of an enemy and take the kill. Now Wait! I know what your thinking... WTF, what kinda cake fed tool are you FirmSlap? Well in a world full of Crowd Control, you have none. Its best you shy away from initiating encounters and move more towards finishing encounters. Ao Kuang is not the type of Mage who can kill you in 1 hit or shoot a freakin beam of light across 3/4 of the Arena. In no way shape or form am i saying, "Do Not Help Your Team", what im saying is dont go diving in the middle of arena or a joust like your Ymir or something and get R***ed by a bunch of CC and abilities. You Will Rage. At then end of the day this is a TEAM game and TEAMS have ROLES. Ao Kuang ROLE is to KILL. PERIOD. |

Team? Take their kills. All of them. No, seriously. Call me a toxic so what, im The King Of The Eastern Sea's! Ao Kuang really has no role in a team besides killing(lmao). He is a mage but has no support abilities what so ever. His team benefits absolutely nothing from him being there besides killing(lmao). [*]No Roots [*]No Stuns [*]Passive DOES NOT affect ally's [*]A 2.5s Slow(if all dragons active) from Dragon Call but since we use that to deal damage, you can count that out also(lmao).

PATIENCE IS NEEDED TO BE GOOD WITH Ao Kuang.

You DO IT! Alright fine... While playing game modes like Conquest, Siege, and Joust it is imperative that you stick to the lanes until you have completed Demonic Grip and your level is around that of your opponents. Ao Kuang is a very squishy character with massive lifesteal potential, so you have some sort of sustain and survivability but, that is in no way your strong point and will lead to your demise if you depend on it. Stick to the lane man!I cannot stress how much i see people playing Ao Kuang trying to Live in the jungle early on and get R***ed by Fenrir, Loki, Arachne, Awilix, to name a few. Instead Use the Jungle soley for passing through to GANK other lanes. Keypoints to remember: Fight opponents around the same level or lower Stay out of Jungle until 5th Item is completed or you have enough skill to get in and out |

The author has Polynomicon listed. I know you said Ao Kuang shouldn't build it, but I think I'm seeing some polys on some ao kuangs (arena games).
Adapting also built it on his ranked games (January 22nd 2019 and earlier).

Who's going to farm/clear the jungle camps then, genius? God, do you read what you write?
I thought Assassins jungle? Who said he had to jungle? Your the one who cant read or write because i stated numerous time in this guide to stick to the lane or did you just comment and not read? Take you and your lame *** attitude somewhere else, you dont make the standard for what and what is. Your making negative comments while im going 28-4(ill post the pics right now)with this exact same build.
I thought Assassins jungle? Who said he had to jungle?
Oh my god hahahahaha
In arena (against meagre competition), which is irrelevant to the discussion on conquest, and your foolish lack of knowledge on it.
If your pride isn't too great, I can provide a set of useful links to help you understand conquest.
I Use Hunters no matter what but thats just me. I myself have no problems in the Jungle but ive witnessed time and time again people playing ao kuang incorrectly and get slaughtered in the jungle vs a god like Thanatos, which eventually just turns into feeding. Thats why i say stay away until your 5 items with levels around that of the opponent. If your left with no other option but to jungle use the same build bro. Jungle monsters will only be a challenge for the first 3-6 levels after that Dragon Call should be nearing max. Hunters blessing is still better imo. +30 basic attack damage +15% attack speed or +5pen and +5% movement? You choose. Jungle monsters arent the only thing you have to kill rendering assassins blessing totally useless because you only get benefits when killing a jungle monster... Ao Kuang Dragon King's Sword + Dragon Call+ Gives him more than enough damage and restored hp and as for mana Chalice of Mana
i forgot to put in the guide to buy Bancroft's Talon before Shoes of the Magi when doing conquest/solo/ sometimes joust.
So i guess you can say i Fill? I play any and all positions with ao kuang (lmfao dead *** serious)because usually what the team needs is not what people are good at if that makes sense. So if we need a tank but i ****ing suck with tanks im gonna pick a warrior that i know im good at(for example). Havent played ranked in a month or so due so server dc and 4v5 games so yeah....
The only way for me to make this guide better is to listen to feed back so once again i appreciate it and sorry for the toxicity
I don't think i've seen anyone so proud of their ARENA stats as you.
And if your profile isn't hiding anything, it also looks like you've only played 10 conquest games, so I'm not sure if you talking about conquest is really a thing. The things you say about how to play conquest with AK IS concerning.
In Conquest you DO NOT build hunters blessing on Ao Kuang. If you're taking him jungle you build Assassins' Blessing, if it's solo lane you build Guardian's Blessing.
Other than that I like the build and all the info you give.
