Smolder Wild Rift Best Build Guide

Safeguarded scaling carry build: Smolder does not win because he theoretically scales, but because he reaches his breakpoints without getting pushed off the map first. The build must therefore support his damage growth, his right to kite, and enough safety for his stacks to become a real win condition.

Smolder plays to reach a threshold where his damage becomes unavoidable. His build accelerates this while ensuring survival.

Timing de build

First completed item

最初のアイテムが完成すると、レーンでのリズムが安定し、トレードでの損失が無視できないほど小さくなる。この時点での目標は、すぐに無敵になることではなく、スタックをきれいに稼ぎ続けながら、プレッシャーに対応することだ。
