Description
This is for the players that want to try Calico for the first time. Includes a lot of situational buying.
Also includes a lot of info from the AVG Calico guide on statlocker.gg. Go check it out!
Basically Wulfees build but a bit different.
Item Build
Laning Stage
Calicos Laning Stage really depends on who are you laning WITH and who you are laning AGAINST. If you think you have a powerful duo and you can kill the enemy in lane, prioritise early damage items such as Spirit Strike, Backstabber and Cold Front. But, Calico is weak in most lanes, so buy items like Melee Lifesteal, Enchanters Emblem, Healing Rite and Extra Health to stay alive. Remember, losing guardian is BETTER than losing guardian AND duying! Reminder: Sinners Sacrifice spawns at 8 minutes, and it is REALLY worth to get it at that timing. Remember to box farm in Cat Form, you can break boxes nearby by pressing your melee key without having to cancel cat.
Mid Game
Mid Game is where Calico starts to get active. Your biggest powerspike is T3 ult, after which you are able to win most fights 1v1. Maintain high soul value by constantly using to run boxes, invading their jungle and clearing camps. Your goal is to pressure the enemy team as much as you can. Try to always take trades with the enemy to pressure them, giving your team more space. Souls are REALLY important on Calico, so find a balance between farming and fighting.Usually being around 4 k souls above most of the enemy players is more than enough to do devastating damage. Remember to get mid boxes at 10 minutes and every time they respawn
Laning
NOT IN ORDER. Read annotations
You can delay this until Fortitude if they do not have powerful combos that can kill you super fast.
Really powerful item since Calico likes staying on the map for box runs. Delay if you think you don't need it.
THESE EXIST!
Mid Game
Roughly in order
Debuff Remover and Counterspell
Late Game Options
better items on the left, buy situationally
Just a really good item on Calico. Gives a huge spirit resist, max HP% damage and works even if you are in your ultimate (just remember to cast it beforehand).
Freezes them, giving you the ability to place all of your bombs on them and ult right after. This item stops abilities like Infernus Flame Dash, Lash Grapple and Vyper Slither, so buy it against them.
Late Game Guide
Your goals don't really change. Participate in important teamfights, gank enemies, keep a soul lead, pick off high priority targets pressure them
