Best Build Guide for Ornn
Item Build Description
Additional information on the items
You almost always want to start with a Ruby Crystal and build Plated Steelcaps or Mercury's Treads after, depending on the enemy team.
[Heartsteel] and/or Sunfire Aegis are your bread and butter items. You build these almost every game. Sunfire Aegis is just very good for clearing waves but also deals a lot of damag to champions. [Hearsteel] lets you scale into infinity. But I would not reccomend building it, if you have a hard time stacking it up. it is very hard to get stacks vs very squishy teams with a lot of mobility or range champions, becaus everytime you get clos to them, they just die before you can collect the stack. Just rush Sunfire Aegis instead and go for Dead Man's Plate instead, if you want to catch ranged champs. Or just build Thornmail vs ranged AD or Warmog's Armor if you need more HP etc. Just ignore [Heartsteel] in these matches.
There is some Matchups, where I would rush to cut down their healing and deal some damage back
Bramble Vest
. Like
Fiora
,
Camille
,
Tryndamere
,
Jax
etc.
Thornmail
can be a very strong first item vs some very specific champions like
Tryndamere
or
Urgot
, since they deal only phsical DMG and have high attack speed, resulting in a lot of thorn-damage, if they start hitting you.
Ornn Runes
Best Runes for Ornn
This is your basic Rune Page you take vs almost every melee champ.
Grasp of the Undying
is amazing on
Ornn
, because it will provide a ton of bonus HP, ocmbined with
Ornn
's passive.
Second Wind
is also incredibly powerful, since you want to take short trades, most of the time. And
Second Wind
will help you regenerate some Hp lost in these trades.
For your scondary Tree you just take demolish into most match ups. There is matchups, like Sion, Maokai, Garen, where you need much more mana to fight them and clear the wave. In these matchups,
Manaflow Band
can be very helpful.
This one is for running away. Running away from Darius and maybe Olaf . Minor runes basically stay the same, but you want Phase Rush just so you don't get run down as easy.
This one is for these annoying ADC or
Teemo
toplane players. Poke them down with Q and
Summon Aery
or [Arcane Comet].
Scorch
can help with poking them down, too.
Don't get hit too much, second wind helps you vs their poke. Get
Thornmail
vs ADCs or
Force of Nature
vs. Magic Damage.
Secret Knowledge:
Thornmail
will proc
Summon Aery

Combos
Learn how to maximize the champions potential
Your Bread and button combo would be: Q, W, E, Auto, run away, to win short trades in lane.
If you think you can kill the enemy, try hitting a Q
Volcanic Rupture
, then Ult1
Call Of The Forge God
, E
Searing Charge
, Ult2
Call Of The Forge God
, auto attack, W
Bellows Breath
, auto attack. If they flash after your W
Bellows Breath
, flash at them and finish them off anyway. You can change the order of some of these abilities and also weave in some auto attacks, but that requires some practice and it's typically much safer to just do the basic combo.
Ornn Matchups & Counters
Detailed information on how to play matchups and counters
wet noodle fight, he can't kill you, if you dodge his Qs Decimating Smash and you can't really kill him, unless you build something like Divine Sunderer Second Item. Just focus on farming, and defending your turret vs his split push.
General Game Plan
As mentioned a few times, your goal is not to beat the enemy laner as hard as you can, or win lane aggressively early. Concentrate on farming and use your passive for item advantage. Only take short trades, since you don't have the dps other Top-Laners have in the early stages of the game. After the laning phase you always want to be in the teamfights. That's why I love to go Teleport Enchant . Just focus on what will be the next objective and move there with your team. Ornn Ornn is a beast in teamfights, if you can land a good ultimate.
