#Cruch amazing the damage
fallow pond
Perfect, this would be the complete build, it recovers a lot of life when hitting and its strongest ability does almost a thousand damage
fallow pond
When using the build you have to give normal attacks to boost healing and damage
quasi bay
I've been using Augmentation or Mutilator (against high HP)> Chalice (second item always) > Tainted Blade or the other augmentation/Mutilator 3rd > Draconum or Absolution for phys or mag armor 4th > finish resolution or build more defense citadel/unbroken will etc
After 4th item if you need more damage build resolution from chalice. The on hit damage goes crazy.
Usually extra forward crunch augment/ultimatum/steadfast augs with judgement crest
fallow pond
thank you so much
vocal onyx
Especially higher elos
quasi bay
These higher elo matches players tend to build def early 2nd and 3rd items. They prioritize team fight situations. If you have any good items for that please explain. Draconom or Absolution are popular items for phys power and defense. You could probably throw citadel in there as well
quasi bay
Gaia greaves provide HP, phys armor, movement speed, tenacity, and empowered basics
fallow pond
The character defense items I have are Agawar's Aegis, Salvation, and the ones you mentioned.
fallow pond
So this suits you better?

while ashbringer is OP how many autos do you use in a teamfight as crunch ?
like 4?
also augmentation is absolutly busted and a must build on crunch
id only build mutilatior if im against a lot of meat
like if the enemy team has 2-3 tanks or frontliners im expected to brawl a lot with over longer times (khai,ramp,gray,sev)
earthshaker and salvation is fine
espacialy in that build you have made agais is kinda troll you only have 2 other hp items
gaia greaves, augmentation, citadel are items i would look into
fallow pond
But as such, it doesn't say that the enhanced crunch does real damage?
grizzled thicket
what
grizzled thicket
only 1 does but yes
i dont see why you are saying this
or is this just a random statement?
fallow pond
You said that if the enemy brings 2 or 3 tanks it would be a long fight, right?
grizzled thicket
yes if the enemy has many heroes you expect to brawl for extendet ammounts of time with id argue for mutilator
if the enemys are only squishies id dont argue for a mutilator on crunch
fallow pond
So it would only be advisable to put mutilation on crunch against tanks?
grizzled thicket
in my opinion its best vs tanks against squishies you dont benefit as much from the omnivamp
or the passives for that matter

in my opinion its best vs tanks against squishies you dont benefit as much from ...
i do agree but sometimes maybe salvation helps
only if you wanna heal more
fallow pond
What lifesteal items do crunch use?
grizzled thicket
only mutilator
fallow pond
I want to make him capable of winning 1vs2 on the offlane
fallow pond
only mutilator
only that one?
grizzled thicket
yes
fallow pond
Poor crunch
grizzled thicket
i guess nightfall could work but you generaly want haste
mutilator is generaly the only lifesteal item for ability based melee heroes that are physical power useres
quasi bay
Mutilator does a % hp damage. It's not necessarily an armor counter it's an hp counter.
Ashbringer is wasted on crunch his cooldowns aren't long in my opinion.
In offlane you get ahead and when you rotate you will have lv advantage and you can 1v2 if you play it well with knock ups.
fallow pond
Understanding what they say, it is better for me that all my objects give me life, right?

What yours build against tanks ? Struggled against steel in a few matches
grizzled thicket
What yours build against tanks ? Struggled against steel in a few matches
depends on who im facing in the enemy team
saying this CC Bots like steel and rik always are crunches worst enemies
Mutilator first helps a lot
if im against a steel and some other CC heroes i might go absolution or legacy depending on the enemy heroes
Citadel is also a must vs steel as 3rd or 4th item depending on your build
against steel you also always wanna use your empowerd Q as much as possible to ignore enemy armor
quasi bay
Crunch has a lot of outplay potential. You can take cleanse for your warrior crest for team comps that will silence or stun you.

This build is good (dinodance)
grizzled thicket
i dont think you need ashbringer
fallow pond
It is optional, although at the beginning of the game if it suits you, at the end you can change it for a plasma blade
fallow pond
i dont think you need ashbringer
Crunch is a hybrid of magical and physical damage
grizzled thicket
ik
fallow pond
?
grizzled thicket
i know
grizzled thicket
cause even if it would be possible there are so many different items crunch could use that are so much better and enable him to actualy do his job
i dont get the obsession of all "lower" elo players with DMG DMG DMG on every melee hero, there is a reason players in the high elos build the way they do
you need enough dmg to kill enemy squishies
fallow pond
This is one of the objects that most benefits Crunch.
grizzled thicket
you reach that without building adc items, (exeption are AA focused heroes) that might build 1 and then more or less only bruser and tank items
grizzled thicket
This is one of the objects that most benefits Crunch.
theoreticly but practicly not
can you do it yes
is it the best thing prob not
if you want atkspeed on crunch you dont need more then 1 item with it, earthshaker and asolution exist and help him way more
but i guess experiment for yourself
ill just say it again you dont win games in lane you do it in min 25 at an obj fight
quasi bay
Augmentation/Absolution/Salvation/Gaia Greeves are great
grizzled thicket
based
quasi bay
You need some defense. You just end up being so squishy as crunch if you don't build them
grizzled thicket
you win every 1v1 even if you build full bruser so why build more dmg
quasi bay
If you jungle as crunch augmentation and berserker axe goes crazy.
fallow pond
if you want atkspeed on crunch you dont need more then 1 item with it, earthshak...
You don't even know why I put the plasma leaf😐

It's not soft because it regenerates when hitting crunch with that build almost 400 life and I have armor and life and crunch is like such damage things
