Pollywog Priest Item Build HoN

The post is Pollywog Priest Item Build for RTS Game "HoN"



Starting Items




The general starting build for alot of heroes, it's all about survivability in lanes.

OR

1x Courier (later a flying courier), 1x Runes, 1x health Potion, 2x Mana Potion, 2x Minor Totem

More a competitive starting build, you are the support hero so you will be buying the courier to share with the team, you could also buy wards instead of the courier if someone else on your team buys the courier or vice versa. Support heroes don't need the extra items that a carry hero will need to spend his gold on, this is why support heroes usually buy wards/couriers. 

OR
You could also get courier & Wards or upgrade straight to flying courier and only get 1x runes then use your courier to get you more runes if you need or straight for your bottle.

Core Items


Alternate Boots:

If you need some extra HP or Mana you can always go the classic Steamboots Build Instead. 

If you are going really well and have lots of gold you could also get Post Haste instead of Striders - 
If you are versing a casting heavy team you could also get a Mana Battery or Power Supply 

These are your core items, Striders to get you in and out of battle quickly. The longer you are in battle the more you can disable, so you could also get some STR items. The bottle to capture runes and to use to regenerate mana so you can use more disables on the fly. As the support hero you should also try and keep the map warded to spot rune spawns or find ganks with a buddy.

Homecoming Stone is VERY important as Pollywog your wards are vital to defence of your towers and having a Homecoming stone on you at all times should be your goal so you can tele in and place your wards down if you need to defend a tower. Having more towers then your opponent is a great advantage to your team and you should try to protect yours as long as possible.


Now, if you are playing a competitive match and you are doing all the warding and also possibly dying a bit. this is probably as far in items are you are going to get, and is a solid build. Don't worry if this happens i've seen alot of games where this is all you need to support your team and achieve victory.



Alternate Core Items

Depending on the type of match you are playing and how good you are going in a lane and farming, you can go an alternate build and save your money and go straight for your late game items. Which ever they may be. In this case my alternate core looks like this as i'm going for staff of the master here to boost my wards and push for the win. Of course if you were going any other item or the situational items, you would get those instead.



Striders, a bottle for Mana/HP regen and a Mighty Blade & Neophyte's book to work towards your staff of master OR any items that work toward Totem of Kulra/Restoration Stone depending on what build you want to go, I recommend staff of master first becasue it boosts your ultimate by adding 2 extra wards which is great for pushing / defending power. Also staff of master iteself gives you +10str for survivability and +10int for your mana pool/regen.

Late Game Items

Staff of the Master

Boosts your ultimate by adding 2 extra wards which is great for pushing / defending power. Also staff of master iteself gives you +10str for survivability and +10int for your mana pool/regen.

Sheep STick

It's a rare occasion that you will farm both a Staff of the Master and a Sheep Stick but if the game does drag out, 2 disables are better than 1, you can combine this with your Morph to disable 2 of the enemy team at once as well as your Tongue Tie for all your disabling needs, a double hex can really turn the tide of battle in your favour.

OR

Restoration Stone

If you are versing a really good team and you manage to farm up a Restoration Stone with your staff of master you can place 2 sets of 11 wards this is HUGE when pushing into the enemy base and can easily take down a tower and rax in no time at all, not to mention the defensive power this brings. The only down side to this item is the large cooldown of 210 seconds which is over 3x that of your wards.

Other Item Notes
(Situational Items)

 Portal Key
The idea behind it is to blink next to the target hero in a gank so you can cast Tongue Tie or Morph so he doesn't have a chance to run away. It is a very circumstantial item, sometimes it works, other times it's just a waste of gold.

 Storm Spirit
Some other items to note generally seen on Pollywog would be Storm Spirit, with the mana regen, movespeed as well as the 2.5s cyclone which you can use to ward trap people and get a kill. You can also use it to bide some time for your team by disabling the carry or use it to save yourself in battle. You can also use this to ward trap people, by putting them up in the air and placing the wards right on top of them. When they land they will be trapped.

 Tablet of Command
Tablet of Command is an interesting one, the idea behind it is to move yourself in and out of battle, it can also work as a cheap escape item to jump through trees and down cliffs. You can also use it to push enemy players into the path of your team mates, and into your Morph/Tongue Tie. This item is a tricky one to use at times to time it right and to get it pushing in the right direction. I recommend this on high level players only.

 Puzzlebox
Another item I have seen on Pollywog is Puzzlebox, I wouldn't recommend this in a competitive match of HoN but if you are looking for something different give it a shot. Either activate then Tongue Tie or Ward trap combo and finish with a Electric Jolt, people will be really suprised if you pull this off and get the kill.
