Where are all the aspects?! This is the early game variation so you should not expect to have the materials for all aspects, BUT, if you can afford them refer to the Mid-Game variation of this build.

How It Works

This is a Walking Arsenal build, we want to swap between our weapons with every attack so that we're getting the maximum bonuses from the key passive.

Walking Arsenal builds synergies really well with Berserk uptime, Critical Hits, and Overpowers very easily and we will be taking full advantage of that.

This is an extremely powerful early-game build that will see you easily through to farming Ubers, it's the perfect season starter!
