Hi GLDN, i am a gold ekko main , and am trying out fiddlesticks , your guides and content have been really helpfull, but i still have some questions :
- do i go the build in the guide every time in the same order or can i adapt my build to the game, i would love a more in depth build guide , showing what to build and when. and variations of the build

- what about hextech rocket belt , malignance, storm surge and black fire torch , are they vaiable ? when to build them ?
- when do you build deathcap ?
thank you .

Hi Aryachi, thanks for taking time to comment and ask - always happy to help.

This is noted, my recommendation to you is to build adaptable with one caveat.

1. You must consider the build before you have loaded into game - know what you will build so that you redistribute the focal load into decision making.

Most Fiddlesticks mains have success with Rocket Belt and tend to rush it, its a great item that provides health, mobility and AP so feel free to try it and see how you play with it in the early game. Malignance is a good item however the mana is redundant. BFT is also good and can be rushed too as an alternative to Liandries when against lower health team comps.

Deathcap i tend to not buy as games rarely go that long for me.

My gut says this is the build

tier 1 boots + dark seal
malignence (get blasting wand component first)
Seekers
Zhonyas

This is the push the risk with some insurance build.

Hi Golden, I was watching your streams in twitch, and was in love with your streams. My first question is did you quit streaming? And my second question is, would horizon focus now be a viable item for fiddlesticks? After the latest buffs it gives 125 AP (which is almost equal to rabadons) + 25 Ability Haste for 2750 gold. I wonder your thoughts about this item.

Hi

What build did you recommend for low elo(Brone IV)?
2
Goldenstinger (7) | April 22, 2025 2:36am
Hi i would suggest going the electro runes in the guide so you can get used to fiddles power. U will fail but its the best way to learn - preserve and ask me questions any time.

Hey Golden, it has been a pleasure learning with ur current guide, its really good!
I was with one last doubt and one thing that i think i could use a little better on fiddle: How can i better utilize his passive?
I'm still struggling a little with knowing when and how to properly use it, both positioning the Scarecrown and "becoming" the Standing Scarecrow for those surprise engage. Do u have any tips on it?

Goldenstinger (7) | December 28, 2024 7:07pm
Hi Maxorios thanks for the kind words and im glad the guide is serving you well!

For optimal use put it between bushes to ensure a clear path to your gank.

For example in the bot lane between the pixel brush and the top bush you can put one in the middle of those bushes and it will sweep both for vision.

I rarely use it strategically as can be a time sink from what i've found, better to use them for consistent vision control.

Hope this helps and sorry for late reply!

Dark harvesting is good on fiddle or just go with eletrocute?

Goldenstinger (7) | October 27, 2024 1:05pm
I prefer Dark Harvest but both work :)

This was a cool read, thanks for putting this together. Is there a reason malignance isn't in this guide?
1
Goldenstinger (7) | September 11, 2024 3:10am
Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment! I am glad it was useful :)

The reason for no malignance is that its more cost effective to go the other items in the build priority. Malignance is good but you don't need that much ult uptime as you should be cycling camps in most games.

Best guide on fiddle. I have one question, can i take dar seal or it usless

memaybeo (1) | March 1, 2023 1:17am
If you back with just enough for a dark seal or is confident you wont be dying then its a good item, you tend to lose stacks as fiddle tho so unless you have 10+ stacks already dont keep it

Goldenstinger (7) | March 1, 2023 7:02am
Thanks for the question and the response here guys. My view is similar to memaybeo. If u can afford it go for it. I isually buy it early if i cant afford sorc shoes. So sorcs or else tier 1 boots and a darkseal. Lately i have been 3 camping into a gank into a reset so its a common set to buy for me now.

Thanks again and if any other questions let me know :)
