As a Sorceress who garnered significant attention upon release, Bonnie possesses a repertoire of continuous nuisance-inducing spells. However, contrary to players' expectations, she appears relatively weak compared to most lane counterparts and is almost absent in rankings and tournaments.
Being a top-tier stunner, Bonnie is often utilized by many players for support and team coverage. Today, departing from the familiar magic and semi equipment builds, I'll introduce everyone to a lesson plan focusing on Bonnie's full slow build to maximize her crowd control abilities. Let's delve into specifics with Mytour to see if this equipment approach can optimize our hero's strength and yield practical battle results.

What does it mean for Bonnie to slow down opponents?
Following the title's essence, this equipment path for the hero Bonnie focuses on items that induce slow effects along with substantial cooldown reduction, enabling Bonnie to easily spam abilities and continuously apply crowd control effects to opponents.
Rune Setup
- 10 Red Runes III: Attack Speed/Health/Armor
- 10 Purple Runes III: Max Health/Movement Speed/Health Regeneration
- 10 Green Runes III: Max Health/Cooldown Reduction
Bonnie's Rune SetupThis rune configuration is tailored for the hero Bonnie when adopting a support-oriented playstyle, focusing on crowd control. With significant health from the rune setup combined with the ability to quickly regenerate cooldowns from her passive, Bonnie can continuously spam abilities while significantly enhancing her survivability in skirmishes.
Subsidiaries
- Swift Shift
As a less agile hero in Arena of Valor, equipping the auxiliary skill Swift Shift is crucial for Bonnie to easily escape enemy encirclements or enhance her ability to pursue weak targets, creating more variability in skirmishes.
Enchantments
- Main Branch (Primeval Forest): Sharpness - Endurance - Wanderer
- Subsidiary Branch (Bright Tower): Satisfaction - Penetration
Enchantments for BonnieThis set of enchantments leans towards increasing survivability and providing a small amount of health for Bonnie. The main branch has the ability to convert a percentage of her maximum health into magic damage, along with the subsidiary branch enhancing damage output and mana regeneration for her. This will not only make our heroine sturdy and robust but also ensure decent damage output without being too mana-intensive when playing support.
Equipment
- Earth Essence/Greaves of Fortitude/Berith's Agony Mask/Ice Staff/Aegis/Skadi's Ring
Bonnie's Full Slow Build EquipmentWith the gameplay and equipment as mentioned above, I recommend everyone to use Bonnie as a Support rather than Mid. This item build optimizes stuns for Bonnie, but conversely, the damage from her abilities is not sufficient to solo against other popular meta picks this season. These items will provide significant armor and health, allowing her to confidently scout the map for the team and engage in combat when necessary.
Evaluation
Essentially, the ability to stack and quickly regenerate abilities has turned this rabbit into a nightmare for many heroes, especially Assassins like Aoi, Nakroth, and even Kaine. If you opt for Bonnie's full slow build, you'll have a considerable amount of health. However, in exchange, the amount of magical damage dealt by this Arena of Valor hero will be significantly reduced.Playing Bonnie as a slow debuffer is quite effective and worth trying out in ranked matches. With optimized crowd control from her slow-inducing passive and abilities, along with the right equipment, this combination creates a perfect synergy allowing this hero to provide great support for the team in battles.
Detailed Assessment of Slow BuildHowever, I'd like to reiterate once again that this build sacrifices her damage output. Therefore, you should only engage behind or alongside Marksmen, constantly using skill 1 for vision and spamming skill 2 if there are signs of approaching stealthy heroes like Kaine, Wukong, Quillen, etc., to help the ADC stall them and deliver quick burst damage.
Above are some of my insights regarding the new equipment path for Bonnie. Hopefully, these will assist everyone in their gaming experience.
