Hero Skills

Atlas has a standard set of skills - 1 passive and 3 activated. It takes a bit of practice to use them properly, as well as getting to know what they do well. Below is a description of each skill.

Passive Skill - Cold Breath

Using any of the two main skills or an ultimate activates a passive ability: a ring of cold forms around Atlas, which imposes a five-second buff on the hero in the form of 120 points of universal defense. All enemies are subject to a 50% slow attack and movement speed penalty.

To activate, it is necessary that the opponents were in the ring for at least 1,5 seconds. Compared to other characters, such as Hylos, this passive skill is ineffective, since it does not provide significant advantages in battle.

First Skill - Obliteration

Atlas hits the ground and causes 3 explosions, each of which deals 230 magic damage to enemies (+60% of total magic DPS). If the hit is made in several waves, the damage will increase. The cooldown is 7 seconds, and the mana consumption is 60 units. In addition, if Atlas leaves his guard at this moment, then both he and the mechanical guard use the first ability at the same time.

Skill XNUMX - Perfect Duet

When the skill is activated, Atlas leaves his Mechanical Guardian. If at that moment he is next to an obstacle, he will be able to jump over it. While in this state, Atlas's movement speed is increased by 25%, and his mech begins its automatic movement towards the hero in a straight line at normal speed.

At the moment of reunion, an explosion occurs, causing magic damage to nearby enemies. Also, the enemy will be immobilized for 1 second. The cooldown is 12 seconds and the mana cost is 75.

Ultimate - Deadly Chains

This skill only works on enemies standing next to Atlas. When activated, the hero throws chains on them and starts the preparation process (it lasts several seconds, during which the enemy can manage to interrupt the ultimate). Enemies are then dealt damage and receive a debuff that slows them by 40% for 3 seconds.

The cooldown is 55 seconds and the mana cost is 130. If you re-activate the ultimate during the preparation, Atlas will begin to pull enemies towards him, and then throw them back to the specified location, simultaneously dealing 360 magic damage. If you activate the ultimate ability while the hero left the guard, they will instantly reunite.

Best Emblems

1. play a role if needed. a full-fledged tank, it is better to take the first option;
2. if the hero performs as support and plays in the background, it is better to take the appropriate emblems in order to revive faster and help the allies.

Top build

Tanks are a versatile class, so you can pick up different builds for the Atlas. Most often, the best choice will be items that increase the physical and magical protection of the hero. Also, do not forget about the team that needs to be given a buff. That is why shoes for the character must be blessed with a passive ability Favor.

How to play as Atlas

To play this hero well, you need to play a certain number of matches in normal mode, as well as in training mode. The main thing is to learn how to use your ultimate correctly so that your teammates can deal the maximum amount of damage. It is also important to feel the range of application of skills in order to avoid getting into dangerous situations. Below are some tips that will help you get used to it faster when playing as Atlas.

Beginning of the game

It's best to start in the mid lane as there are 4 small walls and lots of grass. It is necessary to carry out the initiation of the battle as soon as possible in order to catch the enemy by surprise. The fastest way to achieve this is with the following combination of skills:

The Perfect Duo - Blaze - Death Chains - Havoc

In the future, all combinations should be based on using the ult and pulling opponents towards you.

Mid game

Priority in pumping should be given to the second skill - it will facilitate the initiation of battles and allow you to catch up with the enemy. You can catch opponents by overtaking them and reuniting with a mechanical guard. If an enemy hero suddenly finds himself behind an obstacle, then when exiting the mech, you can pass through the wall. This way, the enemy team will have no escape routes.

In addition, with the help The perfect duet you can retreat, but you should not delay it, since the damage will go through both the Atlas and the mechanical guard.

late game

If there is a need to deal as much damage as possible, then it is recommended to use a bunch of the second and first skills so that the enemy is affected by more waves that cause damage. At the same time, activating a passive ability will provide additional protection.

Try to constantly be close to the team, initiate the start of the battle, and also take the maximum amount of damage from opponents. This will allow allies to live longer shooters and magicians, which will inflict a large amount of damage to enemies.

Conclusions

Atlas is perfect for playing together with friends, as well as for solo play in ranked mode. On the battlefield, this hero, like a real tank, can not only inflict a large amount of damage to the enemy, but also protect his comrades. However, you should not constantly fight against enemy characters alone, as this will lead to quick death and overfarming of the opposing team.
