Can you believe it? The Excavator, which still had the lowest win rate in the Brawl in the 13.10 version, has been strengthened and its win rate has soared in the 13.11 version, ranking among the top three in the national server Brawl win rate list. Is the explosion-killing excavator rising again? No, no, no, the rise of the excavator in version 13.11 is completely the result of the right time, place and people. People can’t help but sigh, the brawl buff must be powerful~
[Hero Analysis]
Excavator Brawl has the buffs of "damage taken -15%, healing effect +20%, toughness +20" . By the way, the Excavator Brawl buff has not changed in recent versions.
Before, the excavator had a damage-increasing buff. After the damage-increasing buff was cancelled, the excavator's winning rate dropped again and again.
Therefore, the reason why the excavator's winning rate has skyrocketed must be looked at in conjunction with version updates.
Version 13.11 does not have any enhancements to the damage bonus of the excavator, but the excavator’s endurance, continuous output capability and functionality in the later period have been greatly improved.
Passive blood regeneration is changed to have a maximum health bonus. It is known that the excavator has at least 3500+ blood when it comes out as a warrior with six gods. Press 3500 to be full of rage and passively return 545 blood. Plus the special +20% healing effect of the Brawl, that is 654 blood. The battery life is very scary!
Moreover, the basic CD of max-level Q is only 2 seconds. With the support of the high CD of equipment, the Q skill is almost equivalent to no CD. You can continue to strengthen the basic attack, and the continuous output is greatly improved.
The detection frequency of the Escape Q has been increased, and the revealing time has been extended, which effectively solves the problem of Lao Liu squatting in the bushes during the brawl.
The W skill quality level update makes the excavator's snowball lift more stable, leaving Crispy with nowhere to escape.
To sum up, this enhancement is obviously prepared for the warrior-style excavator.
Coupled with the blood regeneration and damage reduction buffs in the brawl, the excavator can have good frontline capabilities even if it is a pure warrior without being equipped as a tank, so this is the reason why the excavator has soared into the sky.
【Rune】
Excavator Clash Rune Sharing
Main runes: Conqueror + Triumph + Joy + Perseverance
Secondary runes: Eyeball Collector + Spiritual Hunter
Rune analysis: Because the CD of Q skill is short, and Rek'Sai can quickly stack up Conquerors when playing a set, bringing Conquerors is very cost-effective and can greatly improve the continuous output ability.
Needless to say, it is a must-have for any victorious warrior.
I am happy to improve the basic attack feel, because the excavator has a toughness buff, and when encountering a lineup with a lot of control, the toughness of the mercury shoes is enough.
Perseverance increases the damage when remaining in health.
Eye Collector increases damage.
Spiritual Hunter reduces the CDs of Blood Thirst and Bloody Hands.
[Equipment and points addition]
Outfit: Blood Thirst + Black Cut + Greedy Hydra/Green Dragon Sword + Dance of Death + Bloody Hands
Add points: main Q and deputy E, which is bigger.
Production analysis: The price of Thirsty Blood has been reduced in version 13.10 and the mythic passive has been strengthened. In addition, the Excavator has a healing buff, so the Thirst Blood is very cost-effective. It can be used with the Spiritual Hunter in a team battle to avoid damage with two Thirst Blood and the ultimate move to avoid damage. , it is difficult for an excavator to die.
Black Cut increases the damage, blood, movement speed and skill haste, which makes it easier for the excavator to keep chasing people with Q.
Tongfeng's third piece is directly Greedy Hydra. If you need to deal damage in the front row, you can use Death Dance first.
The last piece of blood hand not only improves fault tolerance but also increases output.
Introduction to gameplay
The Excavator is one of the few heroes that players who don’t often play the Excavator can kill in a chaotic brawl as soon as they get started.
Because the Excavators in Brawl are equipped with snowballs, as long as you hit the snowball accurately, you can stably lift an enemy and cooperate with your teammates to create a burst. This kind of stability is something that the Canyon Excavator cannot achieve.
Therefore, players who are cheap and like to throw snowballs and use Q randomly are not suitable for playing excavator.
Excavator is very good at early stage team fights, and is one of the few frontline warriors who desires to fight in third-level teams.
In the early stage, if the snowball hits someone, as long as you make sure not to enter the tower, you can fly over to attack first, and try to use E to chase or escape according to the situation. This is why it is recommended to go first with Snowball instead of E skill first, as E can be reserved for more valuable operations.
Especially after getting thirsty for blood, the excavator is more confident to start a group first. With the thirst for blood recovery + the ultimate move to avoid damage + the E skill to pull back, he can escape completely.
Excavator combo: After the snowball hits, first dodge Q, then fly over and right-click the target to lift it up. Then AQ is full of anger and then E. Depending on the situation, continue to kill with A or R skills.
Finally, the excavator's Q skill CD is now short. When pushing the tower, you must remember to turn on Q to speed up the tower push.
