Final Thoughts / Update Notes

17 December 2025 - Okay I think I undercooked when I took battle vest out, so I threw it back in. The multiple updates focused on changes to speed and stamina are making me double down on switching back to Stamina Mastery, but also I want to lean in a little harder to the Tanky Frontliner build. Colossus and Mystic Slow paired together make you a terror on the front lines. In fact, I think there's a good cook in here based around AOE items. Heroic Aura, Torment Pulse, Colossus, Scourge. Need data. But for now you'll be okay just spamming turrets to help push walkers and placing medicinal specters to kill midboss and win teamfights. I believe in you. You, personally. STEVE. and anyone else still reading this garbage ok thats it love you bye
