Overview

The Patch 0.1.4 meta is full of builds that have insane scaling potential. They consist of multiple Charge items, many of which can create infinite loops on their own or with little assistance.

However, it does take a bit of time for them to reach their unstoppable levels of scaling. While they are often pretty fast out of the gate, there are some ways to counteract and delay their startup.

In this build, Rarran showcases the power of Atomic Clock. It's the fastest item in the game with only a one second Cooldown, but more importantly, it's here to shutdown the opponent before they get started!

The current Charge meta has really shown just how crazy broken builds can become. While this has always been possible to an extent, it's now so much easier to go from 0 to 100.

These builds are perfectly well oiled machines. Once they get going, they're almost impossible to stop. This leaves two options. Either you try to beat them at their own game, or you win before they even get started. Let's go with the latter.

Dooley's former best Burn item was heavily nerfed (sorry Omega Ray), but that doesn't mean Burn isn't viable. In the last patch, Burn builds would take a bit of time to scale until they could stack up a crazy amount.

Burn builds no longer have the luxury of time anymore, so always keep in mind that you're on the clock. Try to capitalize on your early game power and snowball to 10 wins as soon as possible. The later the day, the stronger the builds, and the harder it will be to compete.

Ignition Core

Ignition Core is the main source of Burn. Since the focus is to win before other builds can ramp up, it's placed on the far right in order to receive maximum Charges. There's no time to worry about using it to scale other Burn items.

Rarran happened to get a Fiery enchant for his Ignition Core. This is a big power spike and an enchant worth prioritizing if you find it at level 10. Aside from an Icy enchant, I don't think anything else would be warranted over the Fiery Ignition Core.

Atomic Clock

Atomic Clock is a vital part of this build's strategy. Few items can increase the Cooldown of items. At Diamond tier this increase is a flat three seconds which is massive. Atomic Clock has the ability to prevent infinite combos, if you're lucky to hit the right target.

Upgrades are a big part of making the item worth using. Silver is rather weak, so prioritize upgrading it to at least Gold (though ideally Diamond). Additionally, take any given opportunities for loot items. Adding Gunpowder is a big deal that can make Atomic Clock go from great to insanely busted.

Rarran enchanted his Atomic Clock with Turbo, making his game plan even faster from the get go. While a nice improvement, it's nowhere as necessary as Fiery for the Ignition Core, so don't worry if it's unavailable.

Rocket Launcher

Rocket Launcher is a powerful Burn Weapon once scaled, albeit a bit slow. In this build however, it takes a bit more of a supporting role than usual, serving as a good source of Multicast to quickly Charge the Ignition Core.

What makes it shine even more is the addition of Shield Bash, everyone's favorite new busted skill. Without it, there's probably better options that can Charge the Core faster. But with it, you have the perfect counter to all the spammy Charge items, as many of them are non-Weapons.

The Obsidian enchant is the least relevant among them all, as the Rocket Launcher isn't dealing that much Weapon Damage. No worries if you lack this one.

Supportive Items and Skills

Icicle

Icicle only has one job. Lock down an item for six seconds. While it serves no other purpose beyond occasionally being destroy fodder, it fits perfectly with the game plan.

Start of fight effects are pretty uncommon, but are very powerful since they trigger immediately. Alongside Atomic Clock this will hopefully buy you enough time to ignite the enemy before they have a chance to recover.

Cool LEDs

Cool LEDs is a great addition thanks to both its Slow and Charge capabilities. What makes it particularly strong in this build is that alongside Atomic Clock and Icicle, you're more likely to spread Slows before the opponent's items get their first cast.

Opposite to the Rocket Launcher and adjacent to the Metronome, it will be create a Hasty loop that keeps your items churning as quick as possible.

Metronome

As mentioned above, Metronome fills the gap as an excellent Haste enabler. Despite not including Haste-scaling items, it still deserves the Small slot.

If you're looking for a good enchant target, Metronome is better than most. The fact that it triggers off of both adjacent items means you can often get twice the effect off a single enchant, or even more with Multicast!

Thrusters

Thrusters is primarily used for its Cooldown reduction, as its active ability is rather underwhelming. That said, when speed is the focus, it's an excellent inclusion.

Don't overlook the self-Burning part of its effect. While on the surface this looks to be a straight downside compared to other Burn items, being able to apply Burn to yourself has a key benefit with a certain skill...

Overclocked

Overclocked is a phenomenal skill for the build and the reason why Thrusters' self-Burn is a benefit. 15% Cooldown reduction is already great, but 30% is insane.

Haste effects are relatively common for Dooley, where as Cooldown reduction is far more scarce. Be sure to prioritize Overclocked if you happen to see it.

Letting Off Steam

While Dooley has a good number of Haste skills, Letting Off Steam is definitely the one for this build. The Ignition Core is the most important part, so having Haste centered on the Core specifically is valuable.

Don't forget Atomic Clock and Icicle won't need Haste since they are useless after a few seconds. Rocket Launcher and Cool LEDs already self-sustain themselves, and Thrusters is just here for Cooldown reduction. Core Haste is all that matters.

Shield Bash

Shield Bash is a ridiculous skill, even without a strong Weapon to benefit from it. Supporting Rocket Launcher adds a ton of power to the build, letting your opponents help you Charge even faster.

With all that in mind, for this Burn build specifically, they are best paired together. If you happen to lack one of the two, you're likely better off with other options. When in doubt, look for Small items with short Cooldowns.
