this build is a metaphor for life NOT LEFT TO RIGHT!!!!!!!!! buy what you need
1"A bowl is most useful when it is empty" -Lao Tzu
Author's category · 0 items · the reality of dynamo right now is that his 1, 2 and 3 are just plain bad abilties. however, his 4 is the best ability in the game. therefore the plan is to ult as much as physically possible. we will achieve this goal by reducing cooldowns as much as possible.
No items listed.
2"The greatest victory is that which requires no battle" -Sun Tzu
Author's category · 0 items · yes, this does mean getting every golden statue on the map, and not participating in fights if you don't have ult. if your teammates ever get mad at you, just hit a big sexy 6 man singularity and they will shut up. remember to stay humble in victory.

3"If you cant win, make sure you don't lose" -Johan Cruijff
Author's category · 4 items · for lane phase, just make sure to keep your teammate alive with aurora, since youre not gonna be dealing damage anyway. and its a mental game so keep your partner happy. lowkey tech is leaving lane for big box runs. partner will get more souls so they can't complain.
Golden Goose Egg
we will pop when it reduces cooldowns as much as possible. probably smart to pop after 10 minutes since cooldown will be reduced by 0.75%. if youre really goated pop after 30 minutes since its 1%
Trophy Collector
dynamo sucks at farming, is slow, and has value from ability range on every ability (literally). you will be getting stacks once you hit W ults. just get it and don't listen to eternus players
4game of mid core
Author's category · 8 items · look for ults in mid game: you want to be ulting as much as possible. prioritize rift and mid boss fights since thats where you'll most likely be hitting W ults. IMPORTANT: when you dont have ult, you are in spectator mode anyway. just farm golden statues for cooldown reduction.
Enchanter's Emblem
just make sure to stay above that 65% health to keep the cooldown down

its -5% cooldown reduction what can i say. theres way better items than this for the value it gives you. pretty funny though
6must haves
Author's category · 5 items · before we go on to late game optionals, make sure to always have these
Arcane Surge
make sure to do this before ulting for very useful buffs. this doesnt proc on any of the initiator abilities to the right ->, meaning you can surge, warp and ult and the surge will proc on ult
Mystic Expansion
Greater Expansion
Built from Mystic Expansion
7ult initiators
Author's category · 3 items · this part is important. you will need ONLY one of these. when you have one of these, transcendent can be justified buying
Warp Stone
best, most meta way
Majestic Leap
most stylish way
Phantom Strike
richest, funniest way
8game of late optionalsoptional
Author's category · 3 items · when you've built everything above, all thats left is to buff your ult as much as possible
Unstoppable
best item if your ult is being interrupted by cc. ngl this is a top tier priority must buy item because curse exists.
Cheat Death
best item if youre struggling to stay alive in your ult
Scourge

Reactive Barrier
just builds into indomitable
Monster Rounds
if teammate complains. dynamo has absolutely no pressure in lane whatsoever so this does help. also allows a lil bit of farming for you which is nice. just good value for 800
Built from Compress Cooldown
byeah
Transcendent Cooldown
Built from Superior Cooldown
so paying the 3200 extra for only -5% (13 seconds) is not that good. probably better to get this once you have at least one active
Indomitable
Built from Reactive Barrier
honestly let this be procced on you when your ult is on cooldown. 20% is a lot.
Witchmail
funny tech here is to not use your other abilities. this way, the 4 second reduction will always proc on your ult.
Refresher
need i say more. if you have this you will absolutely need transcendent
Diviner's Kevlar
now gives 10% BIGGGGGGGG
in general, dynamos best item by a landslide
Duration Extender
Superior Duration
Built from Duration Extender
also really good on dynamo. mainly for ult, also useful for aurora and stomp once it has t2
underrated item. throw this on yourself before ulting for more damage and resist. can be justified at like 50k-60k. dont get this if one of your teammates already has it.
