After the latest nerfs to Grasp of the Undying and Heartsteel I found myself not enjoying Heartsteel all too much. You definetly notice the nerf.

That being said, I know its still 'doable' and can work in many scenarios, but I dont really play it all too much in the current patch.

I dont want to list a build I am not using myself currently, so I decided to remove it for now.

Im really happy to hear that it still works for some of you guys, so just use it as long as its working.

You are absolutely right, why did I never thought of this...

I will change it immediately

Im sorry this never crossed my mind, but thanks a lot for telling me

Yea. If the enemy team has no real Anti Tank Champion like Vayne, Fiora, etc. i really like the (Bruiser Build #1) with Heartsteel.

But (Bruiser Build 2 and 3) basically work into every game. Rod of Ages paired with Bloodletter's Curse and Riftmaker just feels the best in general. Gives you everything you need.

Hextech Belt isnt a bad Item for Galio, since it gives AP, HP and Ability Haste.

My problem is, that I cant really make it fit in a build, since I prefer the other items listed more than Hextech. Im also not a big fan of its active, but thats just me personally.

If you would like to build it, I recommend it, when you would like a more Bruiser like playstyle. So you can pair it with Riftmaker against Assassins for example, so you wont get oneshotted (Talon, Qiyana, Zed, etc.) or against mobile enemies to catch them more easily with its active (Akali, Kassadin, etc.)

I would also recommend using atleast a Mana Item or Rune to not run out of Mana constantly while playing more Bruiser like. (Rod of Ages, Manaflow Band, etc.)

Hope that could help.

Thats why I go tear whenever I build Heartsteel to kill the wave with one ability more. You need some more wave control and work with your passive procs more, but it definetly works.

But of course you can just build RoA instead of Heartsteel :)

Im glad that it works for you :)
