Build
The frontline furnace. Impure Rage plus Fire Missiles is the hidden combo: 7 missile hits each add 4% target max-HP magic (no internal cooldown) plus 2% mana refund - a full 2s salvo is 28% max HP on top of the raw ticks, making him a tank-burner while his 160%-HP armor tanks for free. Brute Force Breastplate: every damage tick re-stacks 8 adaptive plus 2% MS to 6 (then 25% control-duration cut) - the missile spray completes the stack in one cast, then the spin runs at +48 adaptive with CC resistance. War Axe kept: 10% true conversion stacks the furnace. Malefic Roar: the 65-late is the armor-draft game - 30% plus up-to-30% vs the exp laner's Antiques. Immortality: when the armor breaks in a duel, the second life buys the roll away (invincible but telegraphed - roll toward your team, not the wall). 6th slot Hunter Strike: 80 AD plus CDR plus the 5-hit MS proc - the mech fires more often.

Counter Builds
Vs X.Borg: burst the Firaga Armor, then he has nothing while energy regenerates - the armorless window is the kill window; his break-roll is invincible but telegraphed, cover the landing. His Fire Stake recalls after 1.7s pulling everything back to HIM: sidestep the recall line, don't eat all 5 stakes. Starve the Supplies: overheated drops heal his armor 10% each - zone the pickups. He is a 70/85/65 tempo fighter - his mid is terrifying, his late is average. Ling-type mobility is his wall; Barats-type HP walls are his food (Overheat true plus detonate shreds them).
