The damage is just too good and I can take out people in fights a lot easier. The poke damage is strong if throwing Q and you get ult up so fast for ganks. I play this build for everything except top/into a team of like 3 tanks. Even against tanks its pretty strong. The whole build revolves around health% damage chunking.

I go Volt->bork/axiom->bork/axiom-> grudge->eclipse/edge of night/fill like serpents-> fill/armor pen

But 19/20 games its just volt->bork->axiom->grudge->deaths dance or eclipse and this melts even tanks. You are squishy which is a downside but you can easily punish anyone out of place like any assassin and you can constantly push objectives or fights with ult. Idk i prefer this way more

Runes: press the attack with triumph, haste, and coup de grace. Secondary runes: domination with either cheap shot or sudden impact, and ultimate hunter.

(I should try bastion breaker idk how i havent thought of this) edit: bastion break def very good for the build. Would take it as a first/last item unless you dont care for ults and take it over axiom. But bork second def feels the best

With Grand duke giving the set bonus of 48% attack and 20% follow up damage, its literally a combination of 2 of sabers BiS sets. Using e2 Mblade your ultimates not inly do more damage but also count as follow ups. All of your ultimates get the 20% damage buff and you get the 48% attack that you wouldve gotten for waverstrider. You also buff the follow up attack with gilgamesh. So in total you get
20% ult buff
20% follow up buff with gil
48% attack
The only thing you miss out on is 8% crit rate/damage, but get insane damage potential. Im saving for e2 mblade cause i have a cracked out version of this set.
You can use it normally but the 20% followup will only count for gilsaber team up. It will technically last longer for the 48% attack buff but e2 mblade makes it shine wayyyy more.

I think people are missing 2 big things.

1: him being a character like Anaxa imo is a very good sign he wont be bad and people are over reacting like before. As we seen people say anaxa was dead on release just for him to be a better character and stay longer in the meta than who he was “made for.” People tend to do this when the character they were hoping for isnt the newest “super op dps” or “the bis universal support” when the fate units so far have been amazing characters without being super broken in everything. Theyre both missing a BiS support/subdps option which this could fix to put them all in a meta area.

2. If saber IS mentioned it could be a case of Cyrene where having different characters related to them would give different buffs. He could give amazing buffs to a team/other destruction characters while giving saber even more buffs for being a collab unit whos destruction. We still dont entirely know and it could be a very good thing. If not and his kit doesnt work without her then obviously everything i said means nothing and its greedy asf. Im lucky and have saber but for those who dont or didnt want her it would be the biggest let down.

Would Heartsteel into Warmogs be good/viable?
How is titanic Hydra with ornn?
Is ornn jungle good or playable (jungle main)?
Should I 50/50 magic resist and armor if game is split for dmg since it heavily falls off after 300 (as in 350/350 armor and resist) or stick to 400/200 split?
What are his combos other than Q -> E -> W or is it just that simple?
Best time to use R? And is it fine to solo ult since cooldown is so short?
What secondary runes and why? I normally use conq for basic haste and healing in fights when getting a takedown.
And finally what is your favorite skin for him?

Im trying to branch out to many characters and so far I see i like tanks and bruisers. Ornn is cool and fun, also lil funny buggar when dancing, but i do feel like i struggle with kills. Some times will help as i follow sunfire/hallow->boots->unending->fill. I wanna switch it up to lil more of bruiser but can he not fit that role? Also can i play him in support? Cause from what im seeing people only play top. Its fine as i like to play top (when winning) but i hope hes good at other roles. If i have any more i can think of ill ask to those who respond.

Edit: i do get kills but games are normally 6-8/3-6/12-17 on average so its not bad but if i cant do it on my own i tend to feel like im doing something wrong yk?
