THETA ZERO'S "WORK FOR ME" LAZY REM SUPPORT BUILD

Author's notes

Tired of playing the game? Tired of having to farm? Or are you just tired? Have your stupid minions do all the work while they get stuck on a wall! Then get Heroic Aura with a dash of Echo Shard and have your stupid PEOPLE minions to do the rest of the work that's left while they only OCCASIONALLY get stuck on a wall!

   1. 1

      Golden Goose Egg

      I legit do not know if it's worth double-stacking passive income with this and Trophy Collector. But you might like it. Get this if the lane looks questionable early. Don't open it by accident.

   2. 2

      Mystic Burst

      Is this pillow filled with rocks or something? Get this if you think you can win lane through damage. Sell later since it drops off pretty hard.

2. 2PHASE 1: LANING

   Author's category · 2 items

   1. 1

      Extra Charge

      Your 3 gives them more souls if they're on a trooper. Meanwhile your 1 gives cooldown reduction on hit all game long... including if you just hit creeps! Sell this for slots.

   2. 2

      Healing Booster

      More heals means a happier teammate!

3. 3PHASE 2: ROAMING

   Author's category · 5 items · Left-to-right. Swap Decay for a counter.

   1. 1

      Trophy Collector

      It's pretty decent at soul generation. The big thing is since you're constantly roaming, it's easy to pick up free assists.

   2. 2

      Compress Cooldown

      You can aim your 1, can't you? No? Well, then just hit a neutral creep or something! I like this on your 1 so ALL your other abilities cooldown faster!

   3. 3

      Heroic Aura

4. 4If you REALLY want the 4.8K gun bonus.optional

   1. 1

      Opening Rounds

      Your gun does something! Kinda.

   2. 2

      Fleetfoot

      This is if you really don't care about Opening Rounds... But why wouldn't you if you want the gun damage?

5. 5PHASE 3: HOW EVIL ARE YOU?optional

   Author's category · 6 items · PICK ONE, IF YOU DARE!

   1. 1

      Cursed Relic

      THE MOST EVIL. Lasts 4.5 seconds during your 2. It's pure MISERY.

   2. 2

      Scourge

      VERY evil. Lasts 13.5 seconds in your 2 with redonkulous range. Use this on allies who go in. Damage is based on the ENEMY'S health and YOUR spirit scaling.

   3. 3

      Focus Lens

      Just evil. Boosted to 6 seconds in your 2. Lets spirit carries carry even better! Or shuts down enemies longer than Curse if they don't use their gun. Downside is it can be Dispelled...

6. 6PHASE 4: THE ENDGAME BEGINS!

   Author's category · 5 items · Get this after in any order.

   1. 1

      Superior Cooldown

      Built from Compress Cooldown

      You have a sudden, powerful urge for some grape drank.

   2. 2

      Transcendent Cooldown

      Built from Superior Cooldown

      Extremely high priority if you're running four active items, as you tend to do. Can we appreciate I got a reason to use a semicolon in the Echo Shard description, up there?

   3. 3

7. 7Counter-Itemsoptional

   Author's category · 11 items · Buy one of these instead of (or with) Decay if you see more value in it. Swap it for a second tier 4 if you need one later.

   1. 1

      Silence Wave

      A pretty good general item if you don't care about padding your stats via Decay.

   2. 2

      Restorative Locket

      Probably a bug, but you share the healing on this with your bud during your 2. If you don't have a reason to counter anybody, this is a safe buy.

   3. 3

8. 8"I want to spend money."

   Author's category · 4 items · What a coincidence!

   1. 1

      Arcane Surge

      This ain't half-bad. You can work it into the build at any time if you want even better heals.

   2. 2

      Counterspell

      Interesting ultimate. However, I pushed F on my keyboard.

   3. 3

      Healing Tempo

      Built from Healing Booster

      Please stop saying I hate this item unreasonably. It's a justifiable buy if you have nothing else to spend money on (NOTE: This is not high praise).

9. 9"I'm dying."optional

   Author's category · 6 items · Make sure to get Indomitable late game!

   1. 1

      Spirit Shielding

      It's cheap and lets you survive burst damage, which is usually the only thing hitting you.

   2. 2

      Spirit Resilience

      Spirit meta SUCKS.

   3. 3

      Weapon Shielding

      Let's be honest, who even does raw gun damage anymore?

10. 10"I DO NOT HAVE A BRAIN."optional

    Author's category · 3 items · IDIOT

    1. 1

       Healing Nova

       "Hm, yes, I would love to pay $3,600 for a heal that's only valuable for five minutes of the game."

    2. 2

       Duration Extender

       If you're reading this, I'm stuck in a dark room where they force me to make support builds. Send help.

    3. 3

       Mystic Expansion

12. 12YOUR GAME PLAN

    Author's category · 2 items · Aim your pillow to reduce your cooldowns (either on players or NPC's) or to briefly stifle enemy movement. You can do damage with it, but it is utility before it is a damage dealer in this build. I don't like spamming helpers on troopers in lane because it gives enemies 50% more souls, but it is useful if you want to gather boxes during laning without leaving your buddy completely alone. After that, use your little buddies to steal ENEMY farms (boxes and sinner's alike), toss them on the trooper with a flag to create easy map pressure, and spam active items while possessing your buddies so they do all the hard stuff for you. When you get Heroic Aura, it's handy to place two helpers on a wave, possess a trooper, pop the aura, and move on. How you traverse the map is up to you. I like to use the tunnels to constantly move between the two side lanes so it's harder for the enemy to keep up with your map pressure. Anyway, Torment Pulse allegedly does damage according to the charts, but it really doesn't feel like it, so I say late game you want to do support and utility, especially with the resistances you grant allies. But there's one problem: the game doesn't keep track of that anywhere, so it's pretty hard to gauge how much impact you have. You'll have to take my word that you are influencing fights and map control substantially, it's just hard to tell. With that out of the way, did you know your 3 also lets you steal the 5-minute buffs and your 4 goes through walls?

    1. 1

       Grit

       I think I just Grit myself.
