What matchups do I go bruiser or magic on kwang for offlane or jungle?

Also magic and bruisers are not remotely mutually exclusive. Some of the best bruisers like Steel and Riktor are magic dealers.

I was more thinking kwang build being magic or bruiser for his matchups

I only play him magic rn

[faint monolith]

Oh you're asking how to play Kwang, not how to play against him. I see. My mistake.

[solid sleet]

For sure, you got advise

[faint monolith]

Nah. I don't play Kwang much and when I do I go offense.

[gray yarrow]

Since kwang builds alot of HP items I like fire blossom for phys defense then flux if I need magic defense late game

I generally like to build tainted scepter > magnify > fire blossom > flux > world breaker > oathbreaker

[jaunty portal]

Kwang jng is something rare but definitely playable
tainted sceptre magnify flux matrix are common on jng
solo lane is quite similar
tainted sceptre oathkeeper magnify worldbreaker.
Magical bruisers are strong, i wouldnt build tank items on him at the beginning, because Kwang is really strong against most of his matchups even after the nerfs. Get defence later to mid game

[solid sleet]

Seems like a decent build. Will give it a try

[solid sleet]

Yh, I do tend to get slapped up by carry if I make it over there. Stuns and crazy damage

[harsh patrol]

rn full dmg kwang seems almost always best

[gray yarrow]

i tend to just follow what paragon players build. and they build for team fights early on

[jaunty portal]

yeah tell me how it went

[gray yarrow]

Fire blossom works pretty well on kwang it does provide a damage bump that scales with hp

[solid sleet]

Shii, looks like a good item on him

[tame halo]

what are yours augments and minor?

[gray yarrow]

I like the ultimate augment - technocrat - farmer

[solid sleet]

Never really used timeflux is it good?

[charred elk]

He means Flux Matrix.

Time flux is a good crest on Kwang if you know how to use it correctly

[solid sleet]

Should I bother with tainted if I’m not against a grux, khaimera or some other healer or is it a good item for those which do not heal as much?

[gray yarrow]

I jungle more than offlane so I usually build tainted first into oathbreaker

It has good stats and provides burst

Magnify shreds magic armor but gives you omnivamp

[solid sleet]

Is that for a lot of jungles or mainly kwang

Did you say he wasn’t a great jungle

[gray yarrow]

There's just not many magic items in the game compared to physical items I feel

There's only two magic damage/armor items in the game 💀

I like kwang in jungle

Especially if they have wukong/howi/Skylar

[faint monolith]

Blight is a great ability against recovery heavy heroes but remember that Tainted Bastion has a tertiary effect that gives a simple 3% damage mitigation which doubles to 6% any time you take magic damage. If you find the stats appealing it can still be worth using it without the anti-heal effect.

[faint monolith]

Oh damn. I forgot they buffed Bastion to 3.5% and 7%.

[gray yarrow]

Gave it haste as well 📈📈

[solid sleet]

Wbu zarus. I feel he ain’t as good anymore

[solid sleet]

Is bastion the best anti health regen then?

[faint monolith]

You just said "Tainted" and there are 8 different "Tainted" items so idk why my mind jumped to Bastion. I see now you were talking about Scepter. 😭

There is no "best" item to apply Blight. All the Tainted items offer different benefits to different builds in different matchups. Which one is best depends entirely on who you're playing and who you're playing against.

On the subject of Scepter Malice is such a strong ability I consider Blight to be a secondary benefit. I honestly forget it even has that effect when playing.

[gray yarrow]

Zarus is a strong jungle but you need teammates that can play the game

[solid sleet]

Yh, I need to go over items cause they are pretty confusing as to which are good for some heroes and which are good at countering others as well as countering items

[gray yarrow]

I'm testing a new Kwang jungle build for more burst/damage

spirit of amir/oathbreaker/noxia for core in jungle

[faint monolith]

Noxia on Kwang is amazing since Kwang is able to trigger it using only one ability because Blade of the Heavens also seems to count as an ability.

[solid sleet]

Interesting, what does Amir do?

[faint monolith]

8% Magical lifesteal in jungle
8% Magical power out of jungle

And iirc 10% bonus damage to minions

[charred elk]

His enhanced auto also breaks feng Mao spell shield

[cursive prism]

Id go brusier always for a safer option, less tanky=faster ttk on you

he does a lot and tanks a lot with average 2 dmg items 4 protections

[solid sleet]

Would it work for offlane 2?
