FOR BRAND NEW PLAYERS AND current players.
USE PTT voice chat and vgs.
If you're brand brand new, do not go straight to conquest. Play arena. learn to hit abilities, then play conquest against the AI. Learn the map and spawn times and LEARN VGS.

Also don't tilt so quickly. If by chance you're in an unhealthy lobby play it out. Do not AFK in base or in lane to purposely throw. And if you see people doing that please report them. You report 2x. Once in game and a second in the post game screen. It's important to be a good player and call out when people do things that ruin the game. Nothing is more frustrating than a player who purposely throws in game in a competitive online game.

Joust

Players: 3 per team, 3 V 3

Joust is a fast scaling game mode comprised of a reduced jungle and a single lane. Teams must work together to destroy the other team's structures (tower and phoenix) in order to break open the enemy base and destroy the titan. While this objective seems similar to conquest the difference is in getting there.

First, gold spooling is different from conquest and a lot faster. Here in joust, players earn 7 gold per second aside from the 1250 everyone starts with.

Second, The Lost Knight, the new BDK, appears at 3 minutes and spawns with 4050 health. Defeating him provides health regen and penetration while disabling the enemy's front most structure. However, if both are destroyed the Lost Knight does not affect the enemy titan.

Finally, with only 4 buffs on the map and 1 wave for farm, gold and exp splitting is key to earning advantage and taking early fights for separation. The team that fights together wins together and often times that means learning how to comprise a team to fight as a unit and fulfill specific roles.

Sample Compositions for Joust:

2 Tanks + 1 Mage

Pros: Having 2 front lines to deal chip damage and mitigate damage with a burst mage behind allows for short controlled moments to win the team fights and secure buffs quickly.

Cons: Without shred, it objectives may take a while to fall. Getting lost knight will be a priority to help siege. However, without consistent dps from an ADC this could provide the enemy team with a chance to steal if not dealt with first.

1 ADC + 1 Tank + 1 Assassin/Warrior

Pros: The ADC tank combo provides consistent shred damage for destroying structures and burning down enemy tanks. With an adc, Lost knight is an easier take. Wild card could be an Assassin for extra damage and burst in fights, Warrior for tankiness + damage and dive.

Cons: While flexible depending on the enemy composition, would need to be aware of their draft. In Casuals you wont see their draft until game start, but it would be wise to remember what items and capabilities the team lacks. Ex: against two frontline opponents, the comp would either need extra prots or more bruiser builds... or go extra damage to compensate for the lack of prots and defense.

Of course these aren't the only options. But in the end, teamwork and coordination will win the day in this mode. Good Luck Smiters.

He will then fly across the map and grant 'presents' to allied minions granted 25% increased attack speed and 15% increased damage to structures.

Add in the bluestone, crusher, and glad shield procs and yeah it's actually not horrid but still I probably would be careful when building this. It's funny to watch on screen for sure.

The big key with this build is that anyone fighting you should get the full brunt therefore. Open with your cripple or in frost stance to slow, then swap to fall quickly for the prot shred and then use summer stance for the extra damage. You'll have multiple tick damage sources going as well as the extra damage from bragis, golden blade, and sun beam bow. The glad shield also slightly increases your golden blade damage. It's funny to look at
