Fiddlesticks [Support]💰Gold Gen Build💰

Fiddlesticks Support Guide:

You start with 550g

• Purchase Faerie Charm and Rejuvenation Bead and 2-3 Health Potion plus 1-2 Mana Potion . You have enough gold to buy 5 pots of your choosing depending on your bot lane matchup. 5 Health pots start is also fine. You will have 1 Explorer's Ward from your masteries.

• Yellow/red trinket depending if your team is invading or not. Always take yellow trinket Yellow Trinket for normal game states.

• Try not to mess up the wave with E Dark Wind (E) and use W Drain (W) to heal off minions/camps for sustain.

Level 's 1-5 are crucial, you are squishy and vulnerable. Play for your Bot Laner and leash blue/red buff if your Jungler needs.

Main goal is to allow a smooth lane for your Bot Laner and get vision for your Jungler

Greed and buy no pots if you are confident for First Blood/Team Invade/Early back and W Drain (W) for health sustainability. You will leave lane with 190g and only need 150g to buy Philosopher's Stone (Do not recommend this cheese strategy)

• Rush Philosopher's Stone Philosopher's Stone and hold onto it for as long as you can.

• Boots of mobility Boots of Mobility and Sightstone Sightstone next.

• Vision Wards (Pink wards) Vision Ward are extremely import. Remember that they are invisible and are hard counters to champs like Evelyn Evelynn , Twitch Twitch and Shaco Shaco .

• Lucky pick's Lucky Pick into Shard of True Ice Shard of True Ice and/or Twin Shadows Twin Shadows

• Mana Manipulator Mana Manipulator earlier if your lane partner is having mana issues, will upgrade later into Shard of True Ice Shard of True Ice

• Heart of Gold Heart of Gold if you need health, will upgrade later into Ruby Sightstone Ruby Sightstone

• Keep onto Philosopher's Stone until late game when you have to upgrade /sell it.

Vision is key!

• Boots of mobility Boots of Mobility , Sightstone Sightstone and Shard of True Ice Shard of True Ice

• Buy Vision Wards Vision Ward (pink wards) for Objectives/control for Jungler ganks.

• buy another Lucky Pick if you don't have one so that you can later turn it into Twin Shadows or Morellonomicon or Will of the Ancients depending on the game state.

When you are Level 6 and have your Ultimate Ability Crowstorm (R) , look for synergistic plays with your teammates and sync your Ultimate's together for a wombo combo. Don't forget to use Shard of True Ice active. For objective control/fights, make sure to always have vision of enemies with wards from Sightstone and make sure you clear vision for your team with Red Trinkets Red Trinket and Vision Wards Vision Ward (pink wards).

Depending on game state, look into different Flex items. You can get Twin Shadows before Shard of True Ice if you need MR.

Flex items are all situational, and usually are never obtainable due to support's role gold income.

• Twin Shadows Twin Shadows to complete another Lucky Pick The Active ability + MS + MR is great.

• Morello's Morellonomicon for anti-heal. Also built from Lucky Pick

• Rylai's Rylai's Crystal Scepter and Liandry's Liandry's Torment (Anti-HP tanks) are great items w/ AP and HP with really good passives. Keep in mind Liandry's Torment passive dmg is amped with slows so it pairs well w/ Rylai's Crystal Scepter Shard of True Ice and Twin Shadows!

• Will of the Ancients Will of the Ancients if the bonus 30 AP + 20% Spellvamp is strong in your team comp. Also built from Lucky Pick

• Mejai's Mejai's Soulstealer only if you're team is smurfing hard, you have a surplus of gold early from kill/assists and you can confidently understand the game will snowball easily.

• Like Mejai's Soulstealer, items like Abyssal Scepter Abyssal Scepter Rabadon's Deathcap Rabadon's Deathcap and Zhonya's Hourglass Zhonya's Hourglass are items that you you can acquire if you have a lot of spare gold and snowballing. This is usually never the case and rarely will be obtainable.

• Banner of Command Banner of Command is a great item if you secure baron. You can set up a big siege with your team.

Last 2 items are built from Philosopher's Stone such as Mikael's Crucible Shurelya's Reverie but are support heavy. Buy if you have a certain team strategic game plan. In most cases you can sell Philosopher's Stone and buy your last item when you are max build.

• Buy Oracle's Elixir and Elixir of Brilliance when you are full build and have extra gold to spend.
