Zaahen Top guide

Zaahen top is a stack-and-swing bruiser built around The Darkin Glaive (Q), Dreaded Return (W), and Aureate Rush (E): load the glaive's double slash for damage and healing, pull a target back in with Dreaded Return, dash on top of them with Aureate Rush, then finish with Grim Deliverance (R) while Cultivation of War (passive) stacks attack damage off every hit.

The build

Rune page: Conqueror, Triumph, Legend: Haste, and Coup de Grace (Precision), with Revitalize and Bone Plating (Resolve). Summoners: Flash and Ignite. Skill order opens with Q, then E, then W, maxing Q first with E second. Starter: Doran's Blade and a Health Potion, into Plated Steelcaps. Core build: Trinity Force, Sundered Sky, and Death's Dance, with Stridebreaker, Endless Hunger, and Maw of Malmortius as later options.

Ability mechanics

The Darkin Glaive (Q) slashes twice on the next attack for bonus damage and healing, and can be recast to add more bonus damage and knock up the target. Dreaded Return (W) stabs in a direction, damaging enemies hit and pulling them toward Zaahen. Aureate Rush (E) dashes to a location and slices around him on landing. Grim Deliverance (R) rises then stabs downward, damaging enemies underneath and healing for a portion of that damage.
