Build
The sprint-chase tank. Tortoise's Puissance (40s): 30% MS for 10s plus the lava trail - Brute Force Breastplate compounds the chase (up to +48 adaptive, +12% MS, 25% control-duration cut at full stacks): a sprinting Baxia near +42% movement is uncatchable and the lava keeps the Breastplate window fed. Cursed Helmet + Dominance Ice: the anti-sustain plus burn core stays (his skill-hit cut is half the reason to pick him). Tough Boots: the roll engage is telegraphed - 25% shorter CC keeps the follow-up alive. Quantum Charge: his basics after the roll restore 75-180 HP plus 30% MS - the sustain that turns jungle clears into gank health. Immortality: when the sprint ends and the wall falls, the second life holds the objective. Retribution: the S2-spam clear funds the curve - his 65-early is a gank toolkit, not a wave-farm one. 6th slot Antique Cuirass: -18% attacker physical on engage skills - the bouncer wall.

Counter Builds
Vs Baxia: his engine is the shield throw (6% max HP plus mark) - sidestep it and the mark never lands, no mark means no recast spam. His S1 roll still engages at will: punish the landing, not the roll. His lava ult is a 10s zone - don't walk it, let the 30% sprint burn down. He is an anti-sustain jungler (65/80/70): draft burst over regen (healers feed him). Masha-type multi-bar bruisers and %HP burn traders are his wall; regen-reliant divers are his food.
