My Regulus Build: Harass the mess out of people

from Demigod Forums

Here is my Build and play for Reg. I know allot of people are bashing him right now but tell me what you think cause I still think he is a very valuable DG in games 3v3 and up when played correctly. 2v2 is rough and 1v1 just dont do it.

 

1 Mines I

2 Snipe I

3 Save

4 Mines/Snipe II

5 Track or Mark (if you are having trouble holding a lane get mark , if not get Track and start spaming the snipe)

6 Which ever you did not get at lvl 5 (you are going to need manna now!)

7 Mines III or snipe III (this depends on what you are up against (if rook get mines) and how well your snipe spam is going in comparison to your mine action)

8 Mines III or snipe III (dependent on lvl 7)

9 save

10 Snipe IV/Mines IV

11 Mark II

12 Sniper scope

13 Angelic fury

14 Angelic fury II

15 Mark III

16 Angelic Fury II

17 Angelic Fury III

18 Angelic Fury IV

19 Vengence (or just max out scope)

20 Scope

 

Favor

Staff of Renewal

 

Items in order (unless you need more of something, dont be retardedly ridged)

Scaled Helm and Banded Armor, Unbreakable Boots/Plenor Battlecrown, Vlemish Faceguard, Hauberk of Life (you have to drop one of your first items).

Wand of speed is nice to get cause you will have to run your ass off at times (also to get into range for snipe)

 

Now to play Reg I like to think of it this way Mark and Mines are for the lane I'm currently in and snipe is for the lane I am not in unless I have a direct and obivious kill shot. I cant stress this enough Snipe is not to be "saved" to kill people as soon as I get tracking device I start sniping 1 person as soon as snipe is ready hit them again, and again, and again, and again (yes you will need to upgrade your manna). your goal is to make them fall back use sigils, and/or be soft by the time you or your teamates meet them. You need to be relentless, find the squishiest DG and take them out of the game. whatever you do don't forget to snipe. Mark of Betrayor should be viewed like a dog views trees (Mark everything in sight). Mine placement is the hardest thing, traps, hitting people while your team stuns them, putting them in their retreat, if you can get the mines down you will be a good Reg (as long as you keep the snipe and mark going). use mark to escape people will either have to use an ability to debuff giving you time to run or if they try to use an ablity to hit you hard they will be slow or they can just auto attack and sig should take care of that. with a sigil and wand of speed you should not be the squishy fest everyone expects out of a reg.

I'm half asleep now so don't take me to seriously, but I'd switch hauberk over to nimoth for the armor (you know for when they do get into range ^.~)

Also, you're getting scope too late...

I'm assuming you're using this for cataract games, yeah?

One of the things Regulus actually DOES do well is that he can take down a tower while everyone's still level 2-5 simply because he is out of range.  This especially kicks ass if tower damage is set to high.  You're missing out on that.

You're waiting till level 12 to get one point in this :/.  You're doing it wrong.  

Also, you only need one point in scope.  Get one point in maim instead of getting a second point in scope.  Yes, you only need one point in maim.

Vengeance is a terribad skill - don't get it.  A point in stats would be more useful tbh.

Also, I'm maybe stating the obvious here, but you always get vlemish helm before you get plenor.

Other than that it seems okay :D

Your item list isn't very long, so I assume that means you buy most of your teams citadel upgrades?

Scope isn't needed. Mines are faster for destroying towers, even though it will be slightly later in the game. It's an option, but certainly not required. There are other ways. I find bug then mark much more useful than scope. Snipe 2 and mines 2 at lvl 4 are pretty much the biggest damage dealing spells in the game at that level, and one of them is AoE. From lvl 1-5, you will be more concerned with pushing lanes than taking down towers. Mines and snipes skills help you to that end. Scope does too, but to a lesser extent.

honestly i should have just put the last 2 points as free cause they really don't matter to my build and if you have made level 20 no power is going to be a game changer. 3% slow when you already have slow from mines and mark doesn't seem needed i would go to stats befor maim with this build as it would have to come so late.

 

Also i forgot to add a Hungarling's crown, that is needed. but yeah orther than the Hungarlings I put it all in Citidel upgrades.

 

I still stand by when i get scope. the damage out put is needed more. otherwise you wont be able to push in the lane enough for it to help on the towers at the end. scope is only good early if you are left alone to take towers out and that means you are going to win anyway (granted it is good against a rook early but i find mark and mines do a good job of taking care of him + his towers + grunts). if you go with the waves you wont be hit by towers.

This build is supposed to harass the mess out of people right next to them until level 12? This I do not comprehend. You need scope early to harass and beat down towers. Reg only works by spam sniping the opposite lane to hold the health flag while guarding the tower on the mana side. You make your opponents on the health side back up early, and you can threaten their tower when they shop with scope. Also, you forgot totem of revelation, which rocks on reg (or if you have a reg on your team). Reg gets pooped on in his lane, but his real strength comes from harassing the other lane. Reg can do nothing against a non-retarded Sedna though.

Swift anklet + boots of speed really harass the mess out of people.

Get only 1 snipe or 2. getting snipe maxed is waste of mana as well as waste of points.

You are lv 10 and got snipe 4. YOu won't kill anybody with it. At that level 550 damage and 990 damage is same thing

snipe 1, scope 3, mines 4, maim 1, Betrayer 2.

and stats if winning. focus on towers

Angelic Fury if losing. use hit and back and chase

If you're going to harass the other lane, maxed out snipe is good. If you're going to try to push a lane (and maybe hold it for 15 seconds) then mines and motb are more important.

anyway you are going to help your team so you teleport there.

whats the point of lv4 snipe then? for just 1 shot and teleport? snipe is for just kills early game for early upgrades for teammates.

Rather get maim and betrayer faster to help your teammates do 3000more damage

Hero's link is full of truth. It has pretty much the best overview info that will get you a good build with almost every DG.

I prefer to forget maim and scope until lvl 12. I survive much better using a more powerful snipe, mark, mines, and bug. I've gotten so much gold just from having bug and SoR - as I said, it gets me no less that 1 kill per game. Ever. Often I get more.

I've put a replay up showing how effective mines/snipe can be, especially at regulus's magical lvl 4.
