## Talents

 +25 Strength
 +15% Magic Resistance
 +240 Gold/Min

* Maelstrom 1 / Radiance Blade 1  Overall both are good item for Aniki due to his lack of damage output to farm efficiently.

#### Early Mid-game:

* Mega Treads / Haste Boots Boots upgrade.
* Tome of Knowledge 2
* Midas Armlet 2 / Midas Crown 2 Better yield from the bonus.
* Thor Armor Mainly because Aniki is still going to be the tanker for the team, building Maelstorm into Mjollnir is only recommended if you have another strong tanker like Centaur or Spartacus.

#### Late Mid-game:

* Tome of Knowledge 3
* Midas Armlet 3 / Midas Crown 3 final upgrade for a great gold/exp gain.
* Radiance Armor 1
* Dragon Heart 1 Since Aniki's Passive provides bonus healthp based on Strength, and his Power Stomp's damage is based on 5% of his max health.
* Calaminh's Tutela Plate building towards Earth Rapier.

#### Late game:

* Ultra Boots a must have for mobility.
* Radiance Armor 2 more health and damage.
* Earth Rapier your choice of rapier.
* Titans Armor 2 provides 45 armor and a big boost to your health regeneration.

#### Other items to consider:

* Cursed Cuirass
* Heroic Helm
* Radiance Armor
* Octarine Core 2
* Bonus Stats +10

## Gameplay

### Starting:

* Start off with the Golden Rock located at the left side of the Base, it will provide you with Gold and XP everytime you hit it, and when the Golden Rock breaks a Pickaxe will drop which can be combined into a Notched Pickaxe.
* Get your Midas Crown up and ready while you are farming the Golden Rock

### Early game:

* If you have any Caster or Int Based hero on your team then head over and farm at the spiders area which is located at the left side of the map, otherwise you may farm at mid since Aniki can hold off the creeps coming in at mid lane.
* Try to stack while farming the side camps to increase farming efficiency, to do so simply drag the creep together and deal the finishing blow, the creeps will spawn where they were killed.
* Bosses spawns at the Mid lane and has a 10 minutes interval, always teleport and help your team defend as Aniki skills can aid the team to take down hard bosses.
* Once you've purchase some basic item and are strong enough to tank, head over high up where the treants are, so that your AGI cores can farm the spiders since they cannot tank harder creeps without strong armor.
* Pick up Bananas to help heal yourself if needed

### Mid game:

* Help your team clear some of the Neutral boss, for each boss you kill it will free a children of fraction who will go to war on the lane.
* With a Radiance Armor and Dragon Hearts, you are pretty much strong enough to start roaming the swamp area which you can access by heading north from where the golden rock is located. Creeps spawn there can be stacked as well.

* Once you've reached level 45 you should be able to farm at the Alliance camp and leave the swamp area for your core's to farm.

### Late game:

* If you are planning to build an Earth Rapier and have trouble taking down the Earth Elemental Boss lvl3, dont be afraid to call for help from your team.
* Gather your Items needed to fight all the upcoming bosses as they will grow stronger each time a new one spawns.
* Farm at the undead areas as the have a chance to drop a potion that adds to your max health and damage, and if you're lucky enough they will also drop some bonus +10 stats.

## Additional Tips

* The higher your Strength, the more health your passives provides you.
* The higher your max health is, the more damage output your Power Stomp deals (also applies to radiance armor).
* Although Power Stomps is a **Physical Damage** ability, it deals no damage to Bounty Hunter.
