r/MilioMains

Hello guys, i am trying to learn this champion and i have heard that Milio is a good pair with Smolder, can anyone please help me out with a build catered for that adc? I usually go with helia > ionian boots > moonstone > dawncore > either redeption or shurelya if the team needs more ms. For runes i use the usual that you find on op.gg, except i take axiom arcanist and gathering storm (my duo tends to play more passive and focus a lot on farming, so i feel like these two runes suits this playstyle better). Thanks in advance if anyone reads this :)

Hello! I'm a Milio player in the low Diamond/high Emerald tier, and I checked out the builds of high-elo players to try to better understand itemization. I came away with these questions:

- How does the Oblivion Orb trigger on Milio? It seems to me that it doesn’t trigger through shields or on allies’ passives, which means you’d have to use an auto-attack or an Q to trigger it, which doesn’t seem ideal to me. But I see a lot of people doing this at higher ELOs, so I’d like to understand why.

- Also, I thought Echo of Helia wasn’t an optimal item since Milio doesn’t deal much damage, but I see it used a lot at higher ELOs, what do you think about it ?

- I’m having a hard time seeing how the Diadem of Songs can be more effective, even in long fights, than the Moonstone.

- As for the Dawncore, I rarely see a situation where I can build it; I always feel like there are better options, so I don’t really understand when it’s actually better than other items.

- I usually play Dream Maker or Celestial Opposition when there are assassins, but I’ve seen people play Solstice’s Sleigh, and I don’t understand when it’s better than the first two.

- Finally, I thought Moonstone was an essential item that you should always build first or second, but I see that some people don't build it at all in certain games. And once again, it seems so effective in every situation that I don't see why anyone wouldn't build it at all.

Thanks in advance for your answers!
