Build
The damage-reduction brick. Body of Smith is the hidden multiplier: 1% Damage Reduction per 2.5% HP lost (up to 20% + level bonus) - his HP bar IS the defensive stat, the lower the tankier - AND every 1% attack speed he would gain converts to 1 Physical Attack, so AS items are bad-value AD on him (never build them). Endless Battle: his swing-into-basic rhythm triggers Divine Justice - 60% Total AD true plus 80 + 40% Total AD heal on the 3-swing tempo. Queen's Wings: below 40% HP the 30% cut stacks ON his DR plus 2s off all cooldowns - the sub-40% band is the immortal zone. Temporal Reign: after Penalty Zone (50s), other skills recover 1.5x for 4s - the post-drop swing chain. Warrior Boots for the lane armor. The identity: the hammer that gets HARDER to kill the harder it is hit. 6th slot Hunter Strike: 10% CDR plus 5-hit MS on the swing tempo - the executioner repositions faster.

Counter Builds
Vs Terizla: his Damage Reduction scales with LOST HP (up to 20% plus) - do NOT chunk him low for free, burst 100-to-0 in one window before the DR ramps.

He is 75/78/58 - the early-mid brick; kiting burst drafts are his wall, melee duelists (Argus-style) are his food - the DR out-values sustained trades.
