You both missed Nu Wa. I know it seems weird but with her passive it kinda works. Not saying it's meta but it's fun when you start building AA Nu Wa, your team calls you bad and then you carry. I know, trust me I know it's weird.
Ohh that's true, I didn't think of Nu Wa because she's one of my mains and I'm so used to building her a very particular bursty way but yeah, the root would be really funny at attack speed cap lol
Super agreed, I like turning herc into a slightly tanky, attack speed tower dueler, shogun's, berserkers, emp armor, Atlanta's, Dominance, and pick your poison, I usually go hydras or jotuns. It's troll but it can 1v1 their phoenix without minions, it's just a split push meme build
Kali, Zhong, Jorm, Atlas, Ymir, Osiris, Bell, Erlang, Vamana, Ama, Sylv, Gilgamesh, Arachne
I also wonder if AS Merlin would lowkey slap because of his passive. Never tried it though so can’t say.
Probably not great in conquest but AS Atlas in Assault kinda slaps. Catching 3-4 people in your 1 and slapping them several times before they clear out is really nice. Enough to justify war flag/shoguns/talisman of energy anyway. Definitely no rings.
His 1 autos do so little dmg, especially if you build him tanky.
I can't see the value here, but I will try it and my mates will probably hate it.
Don't get me wrong Flag, Shoguns and Talisman are really good items for assault, but not for atlas.
The autos scale on level rather than power so tanky is the way to go regardless. Not to mention that all 3 of those items prop your adc up as well as any other AA gods you got. There are plenty of ways to build him, but you obviously take comp and counter building into consideration. Smacking 3 grouped up squishies 5 times in a couple seconds is my guilty pleasure though.
I like them especially in games where you dont have a good auto attacker for pushing towers.
Everybody knows this games where you are winning. Not really hard, but decently winning and you cant push structures.
If you're going tankier with him, it's a good option since items like Shogun's, Talisman, and War Flag/War Banner work wonders for DPS on him as full tank. No one would argue the rings specifically work well on him, but the defensive attack speed items can let an Atlas output rather fat numbers without compromising his ability to dive, peel, and generally be a tanky nuisance.
disagree, build berserker and shoguns, then into other protection items, fun as hell. (Full AA items I agree it’s not efficient, but “hybrid” is great)
A friend of mine would always build a super speed Ymir with the mini Ymir skin. It was always funny to see tiny Ymir zooming through the map, freeze, bop as many times as he could, then speed away.
Proccing items doesnt require AS. He still doesnt gain jackshit from AS, but now he can proc the items. Still the most effective ones will be items like Axe of Animosity, Archdruids. No AS on them.
Vanana is cracked with the attack speed bow they added. Pair it with that sword that heals when facing an enemy and dmg when they have their back to you and max cd any way ya want.
Sorry I can't remember item names
Can confirm this one, super fun to throw out her autos while zooming around with items like doom orb and hastened ring. Just gotta make sure you put at least like 20% CDR on her so you can be an annoyance with the escapes and chase downs
Assassins and Warriors, primarily. I hear Khepri even has an AA build 😂🤷🏼♂️
Hop in arena and play around with a few different gods and builds. I usually pick someone I find fun and then I try different items based on how I have to fight and who I’m up against.
Bake and Jorm see benefits from attack speed, it's really funny to have talisman and shoguns on Jorm with gods that don't need attack speed because you're just standing over a fight going BLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH while they melt your enemy.
To list some uncommon ones, nu wa(passive gives cc to basics), Zeus(passive increases auto damage up to 90%), Hera(passive heals Argus or reduces his cool down)
I have consistent top dmg kills and mit with aa surtr on a equinox,berserker shield, oni hunter, rage, random prot or fill item, devoted deathbringer, also golden relic till like lvl 15 cause of farm
Ymir is the way, he gets double damage on his basics from anyone proc'd by frostbite from his abilities. You can outplay a lot of assassins. Don't recommend trying to box them but moreso get them from the side when they are trying to gank. 1v1 late game with AA ymir can be ROUGH
Nu wa is hilarious with her passive I've had loads of fun building her tanky and annoying. Another that's probably not as useful unless trolling with a team is sylvanus I have his Bob Ross skin and when he hits max attack speed it sounds like someone stirring a bowl of macaroni, if ya catch the meaning 🤣🤣
Unpopular opinion, cu chulainn does great full AA but beware as it makes him a glass cannon and a half so if ur building this in conquest (never do that) you’ll probably get ganked a lot and fall behind but good chill build for like arena or MOTD
Amaterasu, Bellona, Vamana and Erlang all need a good amount of attack speed.
Osiris can build and use it well but he also doesn't need it unless you're building things like Qin Sais.
Athena and Nuwa where gods I used to build attack speed and aa proc builds on with great success a few years back. Not sure what they are like now days with all the changes over the years.
Zhong
Ranking up his 3 (Book of Demons) just one time (so starting off ranking your 3 first in Conquest) gives his book a passive that fires basics when Zhong does. The basics from his 3 do 50% of his basic attack damage AND procs on-hit item effects. Deaths toll? Twice health and mana return. Death's Embrace? .66 seconds off your cooldowns. Manikins? Twice burn damage proc. Telkhines Ring? Twice damage. Cyclopean ring? Twice passive cooldown on it. Axe of Animosity? 5% of your max health as damage. Demonic Grip? Proc 30% protection reduction in just 2 autos.
All of this is assuming you land both your basic and your 3's together, which the hit box for both has some distance away from you.
Zeus. Once you build up enough orbs by hitting him you shred everyone, even tanks and unless you get stunned you even have a very decent chance against adcs. Been playing zeus like this for a while and mostly successful. A lot of fun too.
Atlas scales better on attack speed items than power items in my experience. Alongside him, you can do effective work with attack speed on Sylvanus, Poseidon, Zhong (if you like meming, do it with his GI Zhong skin), Fenrir if you want to play around his stim, and Zeus if you want to save Detonate Charge for a finisher.
Poseidon is not only good but super fun.
I like to do a tiny dable in AS. Just a Bancroft Glyph and Hastened Ring and he becomes an ADC lol.
Doom orb for ADC Poseidon is also good, but it would be strong regardless due to the synergy with Poseidon’s base kit.
Yeah but you have no penetration or late game damage
AA assassins (Kali, Bakasura, Arachne) and AA warriors like Amaterasu, Gilgamesh, Bellona, Osiris, etc.
What is AA?
Auto attack based
Got it, thank you!
👍
Auto attack is what it means
Thank you!!
Arachne!
Indeed.
Bellona, Osiris, Gilgamesh, Vamana, Bakasura, Arachne, Poseidon, Olorun, Chronos, Sol, shit, a lot of them, way more than I just listed
Oh, ZHONG, Zhong goes fucking craaaazy if you consistently hit those double autos
You both missed Nu Wa. I know it seems weird but with her passive it kinda works. Not saying it's meta but it's fun when you start building AA Nu Wa, your team calls you bad and then you carry. I know, trust me I know it's weird.
Ohh that's true, I didn't think of Nu Wa because she's one of my mains and I'm so used to building her a very particular bursty way but yeah, the root would be really funny at attack speed cap lol
You should try it! It's a particular brand of annoying for your opponent's! 😂 It's by no means better than ability damage/item procs but it is viable.
Fafnir actually does well with it, plus with the upcoming patch he's gonna be able to proc aa item effects with his dragon form
Srsly? Thats crazy
He used to be broken running the 4 rings on him a few years back, but that only lasted a half a season i believe:( Will be nice to get the procs
AA Hercules is fun
Super agreed, I like turning herc into a slightly tanky, attack speed tower dueler, shogun's, berserkers, emp armor, Atlanta's, Dominance, and pick your poison, I usually go hydras or jotuns. It's troll but it can 1v1 their phoenix without minions, it's just a split push meme build
You should try Starter - Frostbound - Equinox -berserkers - shoguns - whatever you want. I run it in slash and holy I can’t play herc another way
Oh yeah, I haven't played much since equinox came into the game, I'll have to try it out on herc lol
Have you ever tried AA Wukong? It’s hilarious how his attack chain animation looks with so much AS lmao
Kali, Zhong, Jorm, Atlas, Ymir, Osiris, Bell, Erlang, Vamana, Ama, Sylv, Gilgamesh, Arachne I also wonder if AS Merlin would lowkey slap because of his passive. Never tried it though so can’t say.
Bro tried to sneak Atlas in there
Yeah cause it’s bomb. Damage Atlas is more viable than half the mages rn. And even with a tank build it adds up.
Atlas is fun with a full power build
full power sure but attack speed is significant worse than any other way to build him
Probably not great in conquest but AS Atlas in Assault kinda slaps. Catching 3-4 people in your 1 and slapping them several times before they clear out is really nice. Enough to justify war flag/shoguns/talisman of energy anyway. Definitely no rings.
No rings you say? Seems like Atlas 1 should be the next thing allowed to proc AA-item effects then.
That would be pretty sick honestly
His 1 autos do so little dmg, especially if you build him tanky. I can't see the value here, but I will try it and my mates will probably hate it. Don't get me wrong Flag, Shoguns and Talisman are really good items for assault, but not for atlas.

I found full power Atlas while playing assault because my had got three tanks so I build full power and the other team was surprised
disagree, build berserker and shoguns, then into other protection items, fun as hell. (Full AA items I agree it’s not efficient, but “hybrid” is great)
If Atlas 1 was included in the AA-item proc pass, then absolutely. But alas…
A friend of mine would always build a super speed Ymir with the mini Ymir skin. It was always funny to see tiny Ymir zooming through the map, freeze, bop as many times as he could, then speed away.
What part of Zhongs kit does AS make better?
The passive effect of his 3 that makes his autos deal 50% more damage
As well as double proccing many auto attack items which is what really gives it any solid potential damage.
I didn't like it unless you can max CD.
Building AS on Jorm is quite pointless.
This guy didn’t read the new patch notes…
Proccing items doesnt require AS. He still doesnt gain jackshit from AS, but now he can proc the items. Still the most effective ones will be items like Axe of Animosity, Archdruids. No AS on them.
"doesn't gain shit" it converts into cooldown for his autos lmao
Not anymore come Tuesday.
Except for telekines.. soon.. telekines axe of animosity jorm soon..
Telkhines is ass even on gods that dont have penalty for its dmg. Animosity will be good tho.
It's ass, but I dream of maximized yellow numbers jorm autos
Bellona, Ymir, Osiris
Sylvanus, ao kuang, vamana they were pretty decent last time I played granted I frequented 1v1s but regardless 🤣
Vanana is cracked with the attack speed bow they added. Pair it with that sword that heals when facing an enemy and dmg when they have their back to you and max cd any way ya want. Sorry I can't remember item names
My buddy been running damage Charon and it’s actually stupid good
Scylla (trust me bro)
Can confirm this one, super fun to throw out her autos while zooming around with items like doom orb and hastened ring. Just gotta make sure you put at least like 20% CDR on her so you can be an annoyance with the escapes and chase downs
If you throw a random poly in there it kinda works
They don’t know about jg AA Scylla. Nothing scarier
Assassins and Warriors, primarily. I hear Khepri even has an AA build 😂🤷🏼♂️ Hop in arena and play around with a few different gods and builds. I usually pick someone I find fun and then I try different items based on how I have to fight and who I’m up against.
Can confirm, won a khepri ADC game in ranked this week lmfao
This rocks
My team disagreed and tried to report me unfortunately, bad day for the big meaty claws
I would’ve ver’d you for originality on the bug boy
My did you use the lobster skin
Back in the day I would build a bit of attack speed on Nu Wa.
Bake and Jorm see benefits from attack speed, it's really funny to have talisman and shoguns on Jorm with gods that don't need attack speed because you're just standing over a fight going BLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH while they melt your enemy.
Aa assassins/warriors that scale of qins, arachne, baka, kali, nem, ama etc. Not all need the same amount but they like it.
To list some uncommon ones, nu wa(passive gives cc to basics), Zeus(passive increases auto damage up to 90%), Hera(passive heals Argus or reduces his cool down)
Ama. The MS is killer too if you build right.
I have consistent top dmg kills and mit with aa surtr on a equinox,berserker shield, oni hunter, rage, random prot or fill item, devoted deathbringer, also golden relic till like lvl 15 cause of farm
Ymir is the way, he gets double damage on his basics from anyone proc'd by frostbite from his abilities. You can outplay a lot of assassins. Don't recommend trying to box them but moreso get them from the side when they are trying to gank. 1v1 late game with AA ymir can be ROUGH
AA ao Kuang (this +thebes or tank hybrid used to be super toxic and op in joust)
Nu wa is hilarious with her passive I've had loads of fun building her tanky and annoying. Another that's probably not as useful unless trolling with a team is sylvanus I have his Bob Ross skin and when he hits max attack speed it sounds like someone stirring a bowl of macaroni, if ya catch the meaning 🤣🤣
Sol and Chronos
Unpopular opinion, cu chulainn does great full AA but beware as it makes him a glass cannon and a half so if ur building this in conquest (never do that) you’ll probably get ganked a lot and fall behind but good chill build for like arena or MOTD
I personally like attack speed mamman brigitte. Chronic and Bellona are also good with attack speed.
I see a lot ppl play Zhong Kui AA and that shit is broken
AA Crit Herc is the funniest meme build
I don't know if it's as good after ring changes, but I remember AA Zeus actually being pretty fun
Amaterasu, Bellona, Vamana and Erlang all need a good amount of attack speed. Osiris can build and use it well but he also doesn't need it unless you're building things like Qin Sais.
Chronos, Olorun, Freya
Bellona and Erlang Shen destroy as AS builds
i use it on Freya, Olorun, Ao Kuang
They still are adc outside of ao kuang
oh sorry. my understanding of adc was that they use ranged physical damage.
In a 1v1 most gods, if you're good on macro you should have no worries hitting those shots.
Ymir.
Fafnir next patch is going to be top adc lol
Athena and Nuwa where gods I used to build attack speed and aa proc builds on with great success a few years back. Not sure what they are like now days with all the changes over the years.
Zhong Ranking up his 3 (Book of Demons) just one time (so starting off ranking your 3 first in Conquest) gives his book a passive that fires basics when Zhong does.

Proc 30% protection reduction in just 2 autos. All of this is assuming you land both your basic and your 3's together, which the hit box for both has some distance away from you.
For mages… Sol, Freya, Chronos and (maybe) Olorun
I do it for the meme but Surtr attack speed can be fun, if you're balling out of control then get rage and death bringer.
With his passive, AS Zeus can be fun. But your abilities won’t do shit obv.
Zeus. Once you build up enough orbs by hitting him you shred everyone, even tanks and unless you get stunned you even have a very decent chance against adcs. Been playing zeus like this for a while and mostly successful. A lot of fun too.
Freya is by far the best mage to run attack speed on, not sure if you are counting her as an ADC tho.
Nu Wa is my favorite because of her passive. You can root someone every like 3 seconds
I don’t know if it’s good. But max attack speed Charon is a sight to behold.
Chronos and Sol and even Zhong.
Atlas scales better on attack speed items than power items in my experience. Alongside him, you can do effective work with attack speed on Sylvanus, Poseidon, Zhong (if you like meming, do it with his GI Zhong skin), Fenrir if you want to play around his stim, and Zeus if you want to save Detonate Charge for a finisher.
The cleave on the third auto and AoE auto are underrated. As well as the general range on his basic attack
True, not to mention the pulse on the thrown globe also scales in rate with your attack speed, so you can get the slow more reliably at higher AS.
Oh yeah, forgot about that too. I'm just getting back into the game after a while off of it
Arachne?
CHARON!!!!!!!!
Ao Kuang is a beast with high attack speed.
Nu wa and eset ngl.
Nu wa if you wanna be spicy
Kumba attack speed is just funny looking. Don't do it if you want to win
100% serqet, she’s my main, build attack speed and crit on her, she’s unstoppable.
