Rank 1-ish Alioth Guide

Hey everyone,

EDIT: Just got my ass kicked by the HUB, disregard everything in this article until we figure things out again.

Geezee here. I've been playing a lot of Alioth lately and I found myself hovering the top 5 ranks in the class challenge. Here's a quick guide of how I tend to approch the PVP side of the game.

First off, I was not involved in the development and operations for the game so I don't really know what's coming up next. My guide will just be fore the first 48 levels of the game. (This means I don't actually know about the third class mastery and how it will effect the gameplay)

* Alioth - Sight

Active Skills:

* Bluewave
* Lotus
* Refract (or Ice Drop)
* Star Break
* Long Leap (ulti)
* Crescent (AA)
* Mist Song (From the Quell tree)

Passive Talents

* Crimson Star Spring
* Phantom (or Broken heart)
* Lake
* Lotus Jade

Make sure you max Star Break as much as you can. It deals a lot of damage and no cd. Lotus and Bluewave can be deprioritized as the former is just to stun and the later is to tag for Starbreak.

The Fights

Fighting with Alioth really depends on the mastery tree you use. The Quell Tree is all about standing still and channeling abilities. I think the idea is pretty cool where you place puppets to protect yourself and then act as a large range artilery, but I hated it in practice. It's just so boring standing one one place and doing nothing. The Sight tree is all about keeping a distance and mobility. There is a lot more room for outplays and your damage is insane if you combo correctly. I honestly was almost gonna make a different character before I unlocked this tree and realised how much better it was.

So the PVP aspect is different depending on the mode you fight in.

Team fights like Martial Arts or Dragon Coiling Field:

These modes are all about staying behind your allies and utilizing your passive where you do more damage the farther you are. Start by placing down your ult somewhere in the middle of your opponents and watch them scramble. Your ult does an AOE slow and massive damage, both which are quite broken in team fights.

Then just start unleashing from a distance, use auto attacks, tag an oppnent with Blue Wave and then focus them down with Star Break. Power yourself up with Mist Song whenever you can and you'll be quick to take down your opponents.

Any one that comes close to you, stun them with Lotus and then jump away with enhanced Refract.

Class challenge:

Class challenge works a little differently. Since you're gonna be against other Alioth, you will not really have a range advantage. Moving around quickly is not as useful so i useually switch out Refract for Ice Drop. The goal in most of these fights is to drop your ult someone incovenient for your opponenet. Wait for them to run out of your ult towards you - stun them with lotus - tag them with Blue Wave and quickly take them down with AA and Star Break. Ice Drop can be occasionally used if they get too far out of range and Mist Song should be used before the fight starts but not during the fight.

Last Tip

Don't ever stop auto attacking. Even before the fight starts, auto attack so that you build up concentration or else you won't be able to use your skills!
