Unique Lesson in Arena of Valor: Lorion's Semi Build - Which Mage Dares to be Tankier?

Lorion - Magnetism Mage is an incredibly annoying and powerful card in the mid lane in Arena of Valor. Since his debut, he has instilled fear in other Mage heroes on different lanes with his strong nibbling ability thanks to the Electric Net.

Despite possessing almost all the comprehensive elements of a team-carrying hero, Lorion's vulnerability is still his durability. Clearly, Lorion's skill set needs a strategic approach to unleash maximum power, but going full magic is very dangerous. Therefore, Mytour suggests a Lorion semi guide for players, helping this Arena of Valor hero be both sturdy and deal considerable damage.

What is Lorion semi

Using the Lorion semi-defensive guide means not only focusing on dealing damage but also significantly boosting Lorion's resilience to prevent him from being shocked by damage, thereby increasing effectiveness in engagements. An important thing to note about this semi style is that players only change the equipment, while the rune and talent pages remain the same as Lorion's usual style.

Rune Page

• 10 Red III AP/Armor Penetration
• 5 Purple III Spell Vamp; 5 Purple III Attack Speed/Move Speed
• 10 Green III Attack Speed/AP/Armor Penetration

This can be considered the most common and suitable rune page in all seasons for the hero Lorion. Equipping this rune page gives the hero 42 ability power and 88 magic penetration, as if having a level 2 item from the start. This makes him deal more stable damage in the early stages of the match, especially with the strong blood-sucking ability from skill 1 - Electric Net. Additionally, the 8% spell vamp combined with the inherent healing enhances Lorion's survivability in engagements. 

Talent Page

• Main Branch: Tower of Brightness. Level 1 - Contrast, Level 2 - Penetration, Level 3 - Divine Blessing
• Sub Branch: Origin Genesis. Level 1 - Frost Sphere, Level 2 - Domination

Attributes revolving around Divine Blessing help Lorion withstand exceptionally well, especially suitable for the defensive semi style, making it difficult for him to be shocked by damage. Moreover, Divine Blessing increases his own spell vamp in combination with the rune page, ensuring this hero is formidable in terms of recovery.

Additionally, other talent points can directly increase Lorion's damage stats like Contrast, Penetration. Frost Sphere gives him extra slippery ability and enhances survival chances in engagements. Domination helps our hero progress in strength faster.

Equipment

Stalwart Boots - Berith's Agony - Gaia's Standard - Skadi's Frost Ring - Thwart - Frosty's Revenge

Here is the most suitable gear for Lorion with a semi playstyle. The items causing magic damage in this setup are Berith's Agony, Skadi's Ring, and Frosty's Revenge. With just these three items, you can unleash the maximum potential of this hero.

Berith's Agony has the ability to burn damage on enemies, optimizing the damage that Lorion inflicts. Skadi's Ring provides additional armor and magic resist stats, enhancing his durability. Moreover, these two items also add health stats, combined with the remaining two defensive items, making Lorion robust and highly resistant.

Finally, Gaia's Standard is extremely suitable for defensive semi Lorion due to its continuous healing ability without needing to recall too much. Thwart increases resistance while dealing damage, allowing semi Lorion to confidently dive into battles with powerful damage.

Evaluation

This is a quite useful guide for those climbing ranks and wanting to experience a new playstyle for this Arena of Valor hero. When applying this strategy, Lorion will have a stronger initiation and crowd control. Moreover, if the team has many squishy heroes, the semi-defensive build also helps Lorion act as a tank, absorbing damage for the team. When using this playstyle, players should have a team with strong damage output to compensate for the damage that Lorion sacrifices.

Certainly, as mentioned earlier, adopting a semi-defensive approach will limit Lorion's explosive damage potential compared to the usual playstyle. Therefore, players need to be flexible, focusing on strategic engagements, skill setups for the team, and, when necessary, taking the lead in initiating battles with their ultimate ability.

For an enjoyable gaming experience and the latest Arena of Valor guides, players should choose a high-quality device to enhance the smoothness of their gameplay.
