On sustain damage dealers this is easy to just keep the hat on one person but if they’re out of combat they aren’t going to deal damage. Or empathatic link works when the crown target can heal themselves easily.īut moreover, try to gauge when your X hero is going to deal damage. Just think about what each talent can offer your team upfront.įor example: Searing light reciprocates the damage as energy for the next heal, so multiple melee comps work great with it. Trust me, I’ve had a lot of experience with Auriel.īefore anyone says “Always use this build” note that everything has a place and a rhyme or reason. Try to keep and open mind and give it a try sometime. The mana restore and cooldown refresh of Resurrect is INSANE. Resurrect does have a good deal of utility that people often overlook. Aegis is good but it isn’t the “only viable ult” as some people suggest. This isn’t to say that Aegis isn’t useful, I still use it against burst comps but I find that its value severely drops off against heavy sustained damage comps with little burst damage. I know a lot of people will be skeptical and shoot me down over this, but you’d have to see our games in action to believe how powerful this combo is.
40 second cooldown on rezz potentially and you no longer have to peel for reviving allies as they can just get out of trouble for free unless the enemy has lingering CC on the area like Malf roots or Slowing Sands.
The 20 upgrade for Resurrect is just ridiculous. It might seem like a very unusual and even conterproductive strategy but me and my friend have had TREMENDOUS success by having him go all-out aggressive and when he gets low on mana and health he’ll intentionally die and the rest of our team will peel for him while he revives so we can keep going. Most of the time I play Auriel is with my best friend and we make a ton of use out of a mostly forgotten mechanic of Resurrect that few people know about It gives the revived target a 100% mana restore and refreshes their cooldowns. I know there will be some confusion regarding my ult choice so let me explain. Here is my standard build that I hardly ever deviate from:
I can’t say there is any incorrect build out there unless you go the globe talent on 7 which doesn’t make much sense to me to be honest. It is very difficult to master and much harder to learn than searing light and knockback builds, but from my experience, it is the most effective build for her.Īuriel has a very surprising amount of build versatility.
Learning how to position yourself in a way that maximizes sacred sweep spam while also keeping yourself alive is the primary objective with this build. Additionally, having so many close targets to attack also means your autos get insane amounts of value. Combined with Auriel’s 13 blind talent, you can potentially keep a clumped up enemy team PERMANENTLY BLINDED. It is because of this that Righteous Assault gets so much value. The meta right now favors two tanks and some other close range/melee damage. Whatever your crown target gives you is just bonus.
Running these three talents will make yourself THE energy generator for your team. This build gives you the maximum possible amount of energy generation in your own hands. The build I always go for is Righteous Assault -> Majestic Span -> Energized Cord.
I’ve had this success because of one really powerful build that I have mastered over the years. My Auriel is level 160 with over 1,000 games played and near 60% winrate. I guess its just a matter of perctive regarding the ults, just experiment and find what works for you
In my case i keep enough energy i can get them to full HP as soon they respawn, worst case i can still slap enemies away to keep them far. for me anyway, its an instant cast, no channeling needed which is great, the biggest draw back people have with this is the allie is usually heavily target upon respawn, but thats not much different from the crystal since most people will just tank the hit to kil your allie. Many will say its one of the worst ults in the game. Overall i like how adaptive she is ,she can accomodate and counter many things !Īs for the ult, im one of those who go resurect much more often then crystal. Combine that with reservoir of hope and if you stack good, you can deal monster damage thats instant. The amount of kill i had done so far with that is awesome, even justs pokes to interupts objective channineling ia good too.
Searing Light is awesome to catch assassins off guard when they are running away.
