Max Item Builds

Key Items
The best experience when playing Max requires these components. Only a really skilled player or someone with a compelling argument should deviate from a core item.

Along with a passive that works well with Max’s Static Shock, this has all of the numbers he loves. Max needs to increase his offensive and defensive stats as a bruiser. Additionally, the item’s scorching aura complements Static Shock’s periodic damage perfectly. Even the toughest foes will become more vulnerable as their health slowly depletes.

The holder of a Medallion of Troy receives a number of primarily defensive advantages. The item can offer excellent coverage if an opponent mage becomes out of control because it contains the maximum magic defense in one place. It’s a good technique to keep Max using his abilities during team fights because it also reduces cooldowns.

Typical Item Builds

Max’s abilities as a bruiser are enhanced by this gear set. To be able to survive dives into enemy territory and punish adversaries once he gets there, he needs a mix of durability and damage. A wonderful fusion item with an aura that complements Max’s passive is Mantle of Ra. In order to deal with ranged attackers who are able to avoid Max’s influence, we choose The Aegis over Shield of the Lost (which aura we tested and found to be simply melee range). It also comes with an incredible benefit of a 20% reduction in cooldown time. Frost Cape is excellent for bruisers because it boosts damage in spite of its protective characteristics. In the event that Smooth Moves is insufficient, it will also aid Max in staying on course. One of Max’s finest offensive options is Fenrir’s Tooth, which is exclusively offensive. The raw attack damage it provides will significantly bolster his skills. Furthermore, the burst that his ultimate offers will make it simple to bring enemies down to half health and then trigger the item’s passive on them.

Here, Max is constructed more as a tank. Without having to deliver much damage to opponents, his initiating power is sufficient to benefit the squad. Despite its offensive focus, Mantle of Ra continues to be effective since the Wunderkind still benefits greatly from a little attack damage and the burn effect. Max’s defense is greatly strengthened by items like Mail of Pain and Hyoga’s Edge, which also provide a small amount of offensive usefulness thanks to their passive abilities. Instead of trying to blast down adversaries, players using this build should concentrate more on restraining them with Smooth Moves and softening them with Static Shock.

Those who are too frightened to rely on their strength should not use defensive gear. Here, we demonstrate the harm Max has caused by transforming his robotic fists into lethal cannons and his rocket sled into an ICBM. Rush soft targets with Liftoff, liquefy them, and then blend them up into a sucker smoothie with the Bionic Blender. The opponent will be torn apart by powerful bursts of true damage from your electrifying presence if this wasn’t enough to finish them off.
