I’m not even sure what the best build order but these three items makes physical supp a ton of fun.
Citadel > Tainted blade > Dynamo
The last two items are flex.
Those three items give you 20% physical pen for your carry 20% increase dmg if you land your stun and the 40% anti heal.
I’m not saying it’s op, but it is a breath of fresh air if you’re a supp main.

Santification | Tainted Guard > Raiments > Tainted Bastion > Bonesaw > Sky Splitter
They dont work as support but if you really have to try it
this is the best build for it
You want to be able to tank hits as a support as you are either healing, damage or tank.
cinder jetty
You want to be able to tank hits as a support as you are either healing, damage ...
I disagree, going full tank doesn’t help you, if the enemy team ignores you and runs your carry down you can’t punish them as hard as you can with this build.
misty monolith
You also become extremely easy to kill
cinder jetty
Also the increase dmg your team does is noticeable 👍🏻
misty monolith
Yes but you will be behind and will be extremely easy to kill
cinder jetty
No because you trade for half the Carrie’s health bar.
It’s about engaging at the right times and feeling useful.
misty monolith
Honestly if you want to do damage just go mage support
You won't be useful though as a Support you will be behind on items and levels.
cinder jetty
I’m not going to argue with you, this is fun n a good time. If you suck with your char it won’t be as much fun, but going full tank isn’t good by any means.
You literally out trade in the duo lane
It’s not a hard concept to grasp
If you land your abilities you can easily make it work.
Also timing trades with your carry
misty monolith
I have seen enough people do this to know it doesn't end well unless the enemy just lets them walk all over them.
cinder jetty
Oh yeah people run that exact same build in your games.. sure
misty monolith
Dynamo and Citadel yes usually useless
cinder jetty
Who are you?
If you’re in bronze mmr you’ll see people build meta builds and they will make them look bad.
Just saying
misty monolith
after the couple of hundreds of messages telling to go kill myself I ain't sharing that info anymore.
cinder jetty
If I can make this work and have fun, anyone can do it.
misty monolith
Gold near 1800
cinder jetty
Dynamo and Citadel yes usually useless
But this is why I run citadel first into tainted blade, it keeps your dmg just high enough, so you can snowball into a mini bruiser supp.
But melee supps like steel require a finesse to them. You have to just do dmg control until lvl 3
cinder jetty
Steel is so good in supp tho
cinder jetty
Idk man his wall can be a game changer, but same with Rik both are equally good.
cinder jetty
Meh, I saw a lot of narbash’s get poked out in the pcc
misty monolith
Did they build double tainted and Raiments?
cinder jetty
But Rik definitely carried some games
I’m not sure I wasn’t paying attention to the narbash build
misty monolith
Yeah people go for True silver and that is a nice item to have but not great
Rik has naturally higher defense over other heroes
If you build any amount of tank and Regen he will be able to keep people locked down for minutes
Reason why I like playing him
cinder jetty
Yea, I just feel bad missing a hook that is why I don’t play him. My bad I was in a game. But yea man the build works, I didn’t say it’s op but it does work. I was able to snowball n do 3/4 of the adc’s health bar in one trade with Zarus.
misty monolith
If it's stupid and it works it's still stupid you just got lucky.
cinder jetty
You’re just full of insight for being 1800 mmr
Gunna leave it at that, thank you for your opinion, it falls on deaf ears.
queen cave
Will definetly try this some time with a friend. Could be hella funny

Did they build double tainted and Raiments?
thats an incredibly expensive build for supports to go. lol... thats 9.5k which is the average entire game income for a support. It offers no lane sustain either
@cinder jetty I would try Dynamo first into Tainted btw. Citadel is too expensive for early game and the benefits of the prot shred it offers are stronger the later the game goes.
cinder jetty
<@458744787072450571> I would try Dynamo first into Tainted btw. Citadel is too ...
I’ll try it, it makes sense to start dynamo, just my biggest concern is not be able to punish when the duo ignores me n full sends my carry. Cold did that to my carry last night n I was able to punish him for it.
warm anvil
ill add crunch into the mix 🙂 crunch slap with this build in support

Santification | Tainted Guard > Raiments > Tainted Bastion > Bonesaw > Sky Split...
Crest?
toxic wadi
You would either do sanc or rifties

Draconum is best starter item for Zarus support, as a Zarus main myself
I like building Draconum, Augmentation, and Citadel or Painweaver depending on whether the enemy has a lot of burst damage. Also the titan crest evolution that gives move speed.
Really Zarus support is more of a kill lane than a traditional support duo
The spear throw is one of the best kill secure abilities in the game.
Dive the tower, throw the spear for the kill at under 20% health, back out with only one or two hits from the tower
Also Dynamo is quite good, but really you wanna pump that ability haste up as much as possible so it's optional.
