Usage

Elder's CarrioncallerElder's Carrioncaller

Rending RageRending Rage — Use this skill to apply stacks of bleed using the first two attacks and always try to put as many bleeds as possible on targets during pushes. Use the third cast of the ability to root enemies and pin them down using that for an easy Morgana RavenMorgana Raven follow-up.

Adrenaline BoostAdrenaline Boost — This ability will help you a lot with repositioning as it gives you a boost in damage and movement. Use it to position yourself so you hit as many enemies as possible when you cast Morgana RavenMorgana Raven.

Morgana RavenMorgana Raven — Your main use in the zerg. Morgana RavenMorgana Raven does decent damge in a line to wherever you point the ability and applies a bleed alongside a 40% decrease in healing received by anyone hit. The low cooldown coupled with MeditationMeditation lets you use the skill very often throughout zvz fights.

Aggressive RushAggressive Rush — A nice damage buff as you will be auto-attacking a lot during long fights.


Elder's Royal ArmorElder's Royal Armor

Energy SourceEnergy Source — Use this skill to refill your mana and also refill the mana of allies near you. It creates an AOE blue effect around you that follows you around so try to get as many allies near you as possible so they can benefit from the mana refill.

ToughnessToughness — A good increase for your defense and only choice that makes sense.

Spirit CrushSpirit Crush — This is irrelevant for PVP but it lowers max HP on mobs in PVE when you auto-attack them.

  • Start off using Defenseless RushDefenseless Rush to move around the zerg as you get into a good position. Try to always remain within the frontline of your own zerg without pushing too deeply into the enemy as you look for stacks of enemies. Use Rending RageRending Rage to apply bleeds and some healing reduction to the enemies before using the third cast of Rending RageRending Rage and leaping into a group of enemies to root them for your team. Follow up with Morgana RavenMorgana Raven on top of the stacked enemies before moving back and using MeditationMeditation so you can repeat it all in the next push.


Consumables

Major Resistance PotionMajor Resistance Potion — Feel free to use this potion as a general damage reduction cooldown if you anticipate burst damage from the enemy zerg or if you just want to get deeper into the enemy backline without taking as much damage.

Pork OmelettePork Omelette — You want to use your abilities as much as possible and Pork OmelettePork Omelette will help you do exactly that. Another option would be the Avalonian Pork OmeletteAvalonian Pork Omelette as it helps a bit decreasing the cast time of your MeditationMeditation but usually isn't worth the price increase. Try to use 7.1 and 7.2 regular Pork OmelettePork Omelette though as the price difference between 7.0 and 7.2 isn't that big.
