He has been better, but I think Rhaast is still super strong with the right items.

What do you mean electrocute is the best option for Rhaast? Seems a bit outdated, no offense

¡¡¡Graet Guide!!! You did a wonderful job and I´ll be keeping an eye for updates.
Now, as a question, is it too bad to start Blue-Gromp-Wolfes-Raptors? I like to do that and keep 100% of my red buff for when I return from the base. Also, I play only regulars, so the leash on my Blue is much more reliable than a leash on raptors (my team mates may end up killing small chickens or tanking damage they can not heal after). Also Blue´s CDR makes it easier to keep farming as Q is up sooner.
I will have to try your runes as soon as I get the IP (I put almost everything I had on getting the champ). So far I´m with AD red and quints, flat armor yellows and flat MR blues ¿Are they viable? I can change the flat for scaling yellow and blues, but HP I would have to buy them.
¡Thanks a lot and keep up the good work!

The clear is a lot better going Raptor > Reed > Wolves > Blue > Gromp because you get more XP.

Yeah it's weird, but if you start raptors and kill all the baby ones first, then kill the large one, you'll hit level 4 fromp gromp.

As for saving red, if you get invaded you're screwed and ganking isn't make or break with the red buff. You still have your W slow and your E to close distance (although it's not amazing). Pulls are good, but when you can SOLO the raptor camp at almost full HP then just ask your team not to leash.

I'd suggest going into the practice tool and trying to kill the raptor camp the same way I do in my video.

Runes are fine. AD is solid for your first 2-3 ganks pre transform and armour is just safer than HP. Flat vs Scaling MR also doesn't matter a whole lot.

If you really want to invest in then I would buy 9x and do 14 lethality, 7 AD and your yellows/blues can stay the same. Investing several thousand IP into a single champ means if the next champ or another champ you find is fun you'll be unable to really play them because of no extra runes. Just because my rune set up is optimal, doesn't make your rune set up bad.

Thanks for the kind words about the guide!

You know, the results were showing that you were clearly right starting on raptors but I finally figured out why (should have done it sooner). It happens to be that now ALL monsters start at level 2 (not only Blue and Red). It means that the 5 small raptors also start at lvl 2, and since you start at lvl 1 you are granted an additional 30 experience from each raptor until you hit lvl 2 (what you do after killig the 5 small ones so you don´t get it from big raptor). In flat numbers, it means 120 more experience than starting on a single monster camp and 60 more than starting on wolves. On top of that, Raptors spawn at 1:37 so you do not loose extra time for starting on a late spawning camp (for example, Gromp spawns at 1:52).
Once again, your guide is great. I come here over and over again to review what I am doing and to look for updates. ¡Thanks a lot for your hard work on it!
