Three Piece Combo

This build has this name due to the combo that almost gurantees a kill on any hunter, mage, or assassin at full health, or any guardian or warrior at 75% or less. The quick rundown is the combo is Scylla's classic Sic 'em followed by a crush. With these items, you'll be able to proc Magus and Stone of binding on up to 3 enemies at once, increasing damage dealt to them, and reducing their protections, leading to a devastating crush or insane ult.

Additionally, ANY scylla player knows the worst thing is when you Sic' em - crush (or ult) an enemy and they walk away with the smallest sliver of health. Polynomicon alleviates this. because of the reduced protections and magus debuff, an auto attack between the sic em root and pop of the crush is INSANE. On many assassins and mages, the auto is enough to kill them without the crush. This allows you to strike fear into the hearts of guardians and warriors, sending them back to their fountain or killing them before they even get to make a move on your team.

I recommend this build to any new or veteran scylla players to try out. If you think it cam be improved, PLEASE tell me your suggestions in the comments :)

ALSO, I am always looking for new people to play with so feel free to add me: Cannonballs1109 (xbox gt Cannonballs#1109)

Not a single build with poly ? hmmm I think ill stick with poly scylla

I'm really glad you commented this because the alternate 2 is supposed to have it, not soul reaver. Whoops, thank you!

Very useful guide

Thank you, glad it's been working out for you. Luckily with the new update, not much needed to change and it still holds up very well. Which load-out have you been using?

So far, I have been using the Final Go-To build. Definitely curious to see how your build may change for the current Season 9. 😉 Would you ever use one of the newer Rods of Tahuti?

Good choice. The power feels good right?? lol.

I'm not sure. I tried it in jungle practice and it just doesnt seem worth using. I genuinely couldnt tell if it was working correctly. With the usual items, hitting the Ra bot with the ult does around 1600+ making his health bar black, like, you CANNOT see any more hp and the meteor STILL doesn't finish him off.

The attack speed one is kinda lost on scylla (unless you're doing a BA scylla for whatever reason. I don’t judge)

If anything, it wouldnt HURT to get it but as of right now, if I ever used the upgrade it would be my absolute final item. But the match is usually over by then anyway.

I’m not the biggest fan of chronos pendant on most non utility mages especially so early on in builds as it slows down your spikes so much. Instead I would recommend getting another flat pen item like magus or divine. Probably divine because of all the healers going around. I think I like the rest though. Scylla got picked up a lot at worlds so a lot of builds coming out of there but the one I saw most often was double flat pen first three items.

Thanks for the feedback! Honestly, I’m not crazy about chronos either, well..early on at least and for Scylla not so much but I just loved the cooldown. But you’re right. Going for more pen early is def. the way to go. I’ve been playing around with an alternate version the last couple days and I threw it in the guide if you wanna take a look. As for divine ruin, I get what you mean but honestly, I don’t think I’ve ever run into an issue with any healers or healing in general. But once the healing changes with season 8 come out divine ruin is for sure gonna fun making healers panic. I’ll play around with it. Thanks, again.

Also I forgot to mention the late game build doesn’t have a lot of percent pen and mages for the most part should be hitting tanks so more percent pen would give a lot of value in your builds.

What percent pen items work best for you / do you recommend?

You put obs shard in and that’s the item I would say is prolly best there

(1) |

Why would you go with Obsidian Shard over Charon's Coin?

(143) |

Scylla has a huge amount of burst on Crush and Im a Monster, and she's not a consistent poker like Thoth or Merlin tend to be, and her 3 gives passive MP5 (also get MP5 from Tahuti if you're getting it) so I can see Shard being an attractive pen option on her. Though im sure Coin is also fine instead.

(1) |

I've been running CDR boots-Desolation-Divine Ruin-Soul Gem-Soul Reaver-Tahuti in Arena lately. Given that she's new for me, my matches are pretty hit or miss. I am still learning how to hit her I'm a Monster consistently.

I feel like I was having more success with my prior build as far as W/L: CDR boots-Book of Thoth-Divine Ruin-Doom Orb-Chronos'-Coin.

(105) |

If you ask me the first build sounds better. Stacking in arena is quite weak and doom orb just takes the need to stack away. Also if you want 20% pen then you should grab charon's earlier or just go for obsidian shard for the passive (and earlier 10% pen in the tier 2). also s damage increase makes it a go to in every mage build.

I recommend to go the following in arena as it looks like you don't like double pen:
shoes (preference pick)

// Spear of Desolation (depending on healing and preference)

/ Soul Gem (poly allows you to 2 shot most enemies with the help of the basic but is riskier)
or (depending on if you need more pen as arena usually has only one tank in most games).

is not really needed as you can reach 30% with power potion or even 40% if anti heal is not needed.

(1) |

With the changes of Season 8, do you feel that Soul Reaver is still viable, let alone a mage must have? For now, I've been building CDR boots - Doom Orb - Divine Ruin - Soul Gem - Rod of Tahuti - Obsidian Shard with a decent amount of success. The match usually ends before I can even finish the build all the way.

I even tried a few times to build using the new starter items like Conduit Gem. In Arena, the new starters are about as useful as the Blessings were for me.

(143) |

Boots > Tahuti > divine / soul gem > shard > Reaver / Deso / Soul gem> Archmage’s > boots for soul gem / Deso / Reaver.

As for Arena you can skip starter early and pick up either a archmages or sacrificial 6th item.

(1) |

Reaver never makes it into my build using this. I'm lucky if I can build the Archmage's before the match ends. When you say to sell boots, is that assuming I picked up an Elixir as well or just drop the boots to drop the hammer on my foes?

(81) |

It's assuming that you buy the elixir of speed and then your last item.

(1) |

This build has become my go-to build. I am feeling so much more comfortable and confident with this setup. I feel a good blend of power, damage, mobility, and sustainability. Thank you for the advice. Now I need to work on my aim and timing - I'm still challenged when trying to land Sic 'Em and I'm a Monster.

(1) |

I've been running into quite a few matches lately where the other team has been running 2-3 guardians at a time. A few squads have been all tanks, nothing but guardians and warriors! I have nothing against double pen, but my understanding is that I want flat pen early but % pen late. Is that right? I usually build Divine Ruin in every build because a lot of Arena teams have some kind of healing (Aphro/Guan/Hel/Ra). Season 8 will likely change a lot of this anyway. In Arena, I never used the blessings, but the new starter items could be a serious gamechanger.

I don't know why the rest of the build order is under the ability order...

(143) |

1. Probably would deselect and ignore the "build" / "starter" stuff it's probably the thing doing it.

2. Add Divine Ruin as an option. Also maybe Shard too. Poly also isn't bad if you can get away with it.

Agree with all 3. When I got the notification of the comment after yours I realized I never put my optionals or the alternates I’ve been using. I added them to the guide if you wanna take a look, let me know what you think. Thanks, again.
