Introduction

Hello and welcome to DeeLaY's guide about Hecarim The Shadow of War. Hecarim is at the moment one of my favorite champs and I highly recommend you to buy him if you like to play as a AD carry or AD Tank. I have been looking around at other guides but haven't been happy about how they played Hecarim so i decided to make a guide of my own. This is my first public guide on Mobafire, I'm hoping that I can give you as much information as possible to help you to be a better Hecarim player.

I have only played Hecarim as AD carry at the moment but I'm going to try him as AD Tank and Jungler and I'm going to tell you what i think about the different roles


Much More Is Coming!!!!

Pros / Cons as Jungler

Pros


+ Great at ganking
+ High damage
+ Great burst damage
+ Good to hunt and escape with


Cons


- In sort of squishy early
- Needs [Wriggle's Lantern to kill fast and to survive longer in jungle.
- Needs farm and kills
- Mana problems so you can't give blue to someone else

Overall

Pretty slow at jungling before you get your Wriggle's Lantern. Good damage but bad survivability, because of low lifesteal and armor. wriggel's lantern is an important item when jungling with Hecarim and many other champions because it gives more damage, more survivability (lifesteal and armor) and a free ward every third minute that helps alot while jungling. Hecarim is great at ganking because of his speed and knockback from E ( Devastating Charge) and charge and fear from R ( Onslaught of Shadows). In my opinion I think that he's not too bad at jungling but a great ganker. I think that the only reason why you should jungle with Hecarim is that he's good at ganking.

Summoner Spells


Flash: is one of the best summoner spells (in my opinion) because it can save your life and even help you to get a kill, so I recommend to use is.

Ignite: is my second favorite summoner spell because it can help you to win against enemys with high lifesteal like Warwick, Sion and so on and so forth. And it can also help you to finish an enemy champion.



Smite: is a must have if you are in jungle, otherwise you are going to get some problems to kills the buffs.

Teleport: is great if you want to get back to your lane fast or if you want to help other lanes. It is also very good to have if you are solotop.

Items

Here is only the information why should get these items not in which order you should buy them, if you want to see the purchase order go to the top and watch under "Purchase Order"!!!


AD Carry



You want to buy these boots because it gives the most amout of movement speed in battles and that means more attack damage because of Hecarim's passive ( Warpath), and the extra movement speed is always nice to have.

This item is a must have on Hecarim because his Q ( Rampage) has a very low cooldown and you are spamming it in fights so you activates your sheen that increases your next attack with 150% damage.

The Bloodthirster is also a must have when playing Hecarim as a AD carry because of the high damage and lifesteal that it gives. As you can see at the top under "Purchase Order" I'm buying two Bloodthirster, the first one before phantom dancers and the second one after.

Phantom Dancer is a standard item for AD carrys, it gives good amount of attack speed and critical strike chance and also movement speed, and movement speed means attack damage for Hecarim.

This is the last item I'm buying and I'm getting this because of the high damage and critical strike chance but most because it increases the critical strike damage to 250% instead of 200%, and that is great. Usually at the end when I got all my items I crit 1350 on minions and around 900-1100 on champions.

My standard build looks like this:


But you need to adapt to your enemys, I'm giving examples how you can change the build to adapt to your enemys.
