After 2 years of struggle, finally in version 12.13, Riot had a more comprehensive editing and skill upgrade for Sivir.
Sivir overview:
Since the new item rework in season 10, Sivir has been largely forgotten in both solo and pro environments. Players who love Battle Queen, have tried different builds from Lethality to Critical, but she still reveals weaknesses in her skill set. That’s short range, poor mobility, and too little damage compared to new “200-year” champions like Aphelios or Samira.
After Riot’s tweaks, Sivir is now a true damage machine in teamfights with the ability to provide “Fast” for the entire squad. However, the base stats were reduced and especially most of the skill sets were severely nerfed, making Sivir unable to overwhelm the opponent in the laning phase anymore. The “new” Sivir will need a very hot farming period before having important items and shining in teamfights with extremely large area damage.
Skills, Summoner Spells, Gems and Equip
Recipe:
Q – Boomerang Sword will be your main edge and minion clearing tool in the early game. Right from level 1, your accurate Boomerang throw takes away the opponent’s 166 health equivalent to a pot of health, and if you are lucky “double skewer”, then the enemy has to accept defeat and retreat to hug turrets, increasing flight speed also makes it easier for you to hit enemies. W – Bounce will be strongest the more attack speed you have so increase the second maximum, this move will help you deal a huge amount of wide area damage, in a fight, the opponent’s invincibility Love standing close to each other is not uncommon, so the ability to spread will sometimes cause fragile snipers and magicians to die “suddenly”. E – Spell Shield will be a useful skill for Sivir but it’s not necessary so get a point early in the game to heal and block your opponent’s moves then max it out at the end. R – Hunting gives the Battle Queen and her teammates more flexibility in combat and will continuously regenerate time every time Sivir has a kill or assist.
Summoner Spells:
Flash: A familiar and essential summoner spell for a fragile and low-mobility ADC like Sivir Heal: It will be a lifeline for Sivir to support with 2vs2, combined with R – Hunting will gives Sivir a massive amount of speed in combat moments.
Gem Board:
Deadly Pace becomes an irreplaceable gem for Sivir, at max stacks she will have a huge amount of attack speed and 75 range to compensate for Sivir’s “short hand” weakness. The remaining runes will favor Sivir’s better laning, such as Presence of Wisdom to restore mana when Bounce hits the opponent, Legend: Lifesteal will be more “profitable” than Speed Attack (max stacks is 547 gold compared to 450) and is especially suitable for Sivir’s rather low-healing equipment build. The Inspirational Sideline with the Cookie Delivery option also gives Sivir extra health and mana for pushing, while Magic Footsteps gives you a free pair of “Pretty Shoes”.
Equipment:Starting equipment:
Sword Doran: Gives Sivir relatively good stats, 2.5% full lifesteal also applies to Sivir’s kit including W – Bounce so she will be able to leisurely keep a certain amount of herself. safe blood.
Striking equipment:Water Monster Hook (3400 gold): A perfect item for all ADCs and especially Sivir, her new kit interacts very well with the bonus stats. Because of its short range, Sivir will mainly attack tanks in combat, so her passive passive will help her quickly cut down all tankers standing in front of her.Ma Vu Song Kiem ( 2600 gold): Movement Speed and Attack Speed will be the stats Sivir needs most to continuously kite while dealing damage from Bounce. These stats all converge in Ma Vu Twin Sword, when activated at maximum passive will give 55% attack speed – the largest number of all equipment, besides 14% movement speed. Only have to spend 2600 gold but bring the value up to 4000 gold – more than a mythical item, why not ?Rage Shoes (1100 gold): Similar to a miniature Ghost Dance, for a ton of attack speed and movement speed, level up as soon as you get the Perfect Boot from the Miracle Foot rune.Optional equipment:Infinity Sword (3400 gold): As the ultimate equipment for critical gunner generals, Sivir also makes good use of this equipment, you can completely go up to the 3rd item to have a good amount of damage Dominik’s Crossbow (3000 gold): Get the 3rd item right away when the opponent has resistant champions with too much armor, at this point the increased damage of Infinity Sword will be quite useless. Stats like Armor Penetration and the passive that deal extra damage to champions with more max health than Sivir are incredibly useful in a meta where the Dance of Death is extremely popular.
Sivir is awesome in the new version
Angel Armor (2800 gold): With a very short attack range, there will be times when you are in the wrong position, so invest in a Stopwatch to protect yourself. Then upgrade to Angel Armor for a second life.Blood Sword (3400 gold): If the healing from E – Magic Shield isn’t enough, invest yourself in a Blood Sword right away to counter the enemies. the mage pokes continuously with a set of ranged moves that Sivir can’t reach, the virtual armor of up to 320 units of health will be very useful to her when she has to constantly face her annoying gladiators. Enemy team.Cannon Lien Thanh (2500 gold): Attack range too short? Lien Thanh Cannon will overcome that weakness, giving Sivir the ability to be flexible in combat with a large amount of damage per passive activation.
Conclude:
Sivir in patch 12.13 is suitable for all tiers, she has great damage, high carry potential and is relatively easy to play. Take advantage of this time to quickly rank up with the Battle Queen, before Riot intervenes to bring her back to the pre-update era.
