	'''Explanation:''' This build really shines on Bloodied Colosseum, since the enemies will need more time to reach you after you teleport away, giving you and your allies a lot of times to get some breath, and especially against your clone, that can't use Veil of Tears nor Confuse against you or your allies, but can also be devastating on Anvil of Khorne with the right teammates. The build itself is all about supporting your allies and heavily debuffing your enemies: if using it correctly, you should never die AND you should be the one reviving your fallen comrades every time without problems, turning your enemies against each other and keeping yourself and your allies safe through invisibility and teleportation. the Laughing Stave also let you knock back enemies coming at you, while letting you spam a lot more spells than you could without it, while the mantle of Malan'tai keep you reasonably safe while significantly boosting your energy regen. You prefer this to the Ghosthelm for a simple reason: you can already buy enough time with the Teleport/Invisibility combo to regen more than enough energy, and in the later waves the Ghosthelm means almost certain death from a single mistake. You can't die, ever, because you are the one keeping your team alive! On the offense, you should obviously use Veil of Tears against bigger waves and confusion against powerful, single opponents. This, combined with teleport, effectively let your team pick his fight, instead of trying to confront an entire wave on their own, and can result extremely powerful with strong ranged heroes, like the tau commander or the Lord General (especially with rocket run!). This build will not gives you lot of kills, but it will let you influence the battle more than any other hero could ever hope to, effectively turning you into the key-man to achieve the win, especially in bloodied colosseum.

	*Fun fact: never forget that your teleportation can also teleport fallen comrades, making it extremely powerful as an escaping tool: teleport near the fallen ally, immediately teleport away, then cast invisibility and revive your mate. This will not only gives yourself some time to regenerate the energy consumed, but also him the time to regenerate health and be ready when the fight will resume.		*Fun fact: never forget that your teleportation can also teleport fallen comrades, making it extremely powerful as an escaping tool: teleport near the fallen ally, immediately teleport away, then cast invisibility and revive your mate.

Ok, not really a monster, but significantly better than you could normally hope for. Warp Spear has some good damage (not optimal), good special attack rating, an area of effect special attack and the 1 in a 10 chance to really put the hurt on your enemies. But you don't take it for this, not only, at least: you take it for warp pull. This ability let you control your enemies with ease, making you able to better choose your fights while keeping yourself safe. Runes of Evasion, coupled with the Armour of Idranel, makes you almost invulnerable in close combat, and fortune boosts your survivability further, making you, paradoxically, one of the better tanks in the game, ~~expecially~~ in melee! Spirit Stone of Vigor and Runes of War are almost necessary to conclude the build: the first will give you the ability to spam fortune (you should never have it down) and warp pull, significantly increasing your ability to stay in the fight, while the second makes your weak melee attacks a lot more ~~powerfull~~.

	'''Maps:''' Anvil of Khorne, Bloodied Colosseum		'''Maps:''' Anvil of Khorne, Bloodied Colosseum

	'''Explanation:''' This is a 100 percent support build where you complete focus is on your teammates and keeping them protected so they can do the most damage possible and as such it is recommended against using this with low level teammates because, typically their damage just isn't quite high enough to get the job done. Since you are rocking Idranels' robes you can actually take a bit of a beating without having to worry about being squished which allows you to spend even more time focusing on your bros. In fact if you are teammates with a couple squishies you can do a fair amount of tanking for them. So the basis of this build is you spam fortune on EVERYTHING. Because of it's long duration and short cool down Fortune can be applied on up to 4 things at a time or double stacked for additional protection and you just continue the cycle as it wears off your allies. That a Tau shield drone hanging out over there? FORTUNE. Captain brought his Dreadnaught? FORTUNE. Oh no that Lord General is getting swarmed by melee! DOUBLE FORTUNE. With the cost reduction from the Laughing Stave and Runes of Vigor you should always have enough to cast it at least a couple times even after using the Spirit Stone of Illusion. Of course everyone knows Runes of the warp are great for defense and reviving downed teammates but since you are rocking some decent armor you can actually use it offensively as well. How does that work you ask? Its great for moving the less mobile damage dealers to where they need to be, your enemies faces. It does take a bit of teamwork but its especially good with those slow ass Hive Tyrants rocking poison cysts. With the Laughing Stave you are much more free when using Spirit stone of Illusion and it is super great at taking pressure off your team if you are getting overwhelmed and for taking one of your clones out of the situation on rounds 16 and 20 of BC but remember your main focus is Fortune. A note on doing damage. You're not. Really. Aside from intercepting an occasional melee unit for a ranged buddy any stuff you kill is incidental and that's ok because you ~~dont~~ get anything for getting a high kill count except for a big e-peen and a Tau complex. With that said the first thing you should do at the beginning of the match is switch to a melee stance. That's right your silly Laughing Stave IS BETTER IN MELEE! Just check for yourself. 26 damage per melee hit vs 20 for the ranged so you swing faster, have a 100 percent hit ration and a small chance to do a special attack in melee that you don't get in from ranged attacks. So aside from using the ranged knock back ability to prevent a clone from reviving you're going to want to be up close and personal and just be happy you can do some ranged damage if that one last guy is half way across the map.		'''Explanation:''' This is a 100 percent support build where you complete focus is on your teammates and keeping them protected so they can do the most damage possible and as such it is recommended against using this with low level teammates because, typically their damage just isn't quite high enough to get the job done. Since you are rocking Idranels' robes you can actually take a bit of a beating without having to worry about being squished which allows you to spend even more time focusing on your bros. In fact if you are teammates with a couple squishies you can do a fair amount of tanking for them. So the basis of this build is you spam fortune on EVERYTHING. Because of it's long duration and short cool down Fortune can be applied on up to 4 things at a time or double stacked for additional protection and you just continue the cycle as it wears off your allies. That a Tau shield drone hanging out over there? FORTUNE. Captain brought his Dreadnaught? FORTUNE. Oh no that Lord General is getting swarmed by melee! DOUBLE FORTUNE. With the cost reduction from the Laughing Stave and Runes of Vigor you should always have enough to cast it at least a couple times even after using the Spirit Stone of Illusion. Of course everyone knows Runes of the warp are great for defense and reviving downed teammates but since you are rocking some decent armor you can actually use it offensively as well. How does that work you ask? Its great for moving the less mobile damage dealers to where they need to be, your enemies faces.

	'''Explanation:''' This build is pretty straight-forward, making you what essentially you shouldn't be: a melee monster! Ok, not really a monster, but significantly better than you could normally hope for. Warp Spear has some good damage (not optimal), good special attack rating, an area of effect special attack and the 1 in a 10 chance to really put the hurt on your enemies. But you don't take it for this, not only, at least: you take it for warp pull. This ability let you control your enemies with ease, making you able to better choose your fights while keeping yourself safe. Runes of Evasion, coupled with the Armour of Idranel, makes you almost invulnerable in close combat, and fortune boosts your survivability further, making you, paradoxically, one of the better tanks in the game, especially in melee! Spirit Stone of Vigor and Runes of War are almost necessary to conclude the build: the first will give you the ability to spam fortune (you should never have it down) and warp pull, significantly increasing your ability to stay in the fight, while the second makes your weak melee attacks a lot more powerful.
