Smolder — Wild Rift Build Guide

Role: Marksman

Best Smolder build for Wild Rift patch 7.0d. Core items: Manamune. Runes: Fleet Footwork, Gathering Storm, Coup de Grace, Legend: Bloodline, Brutal.

S1 Super Scorcher Breath builds stacks — at 25, it applies a burn DoT; at 100, it gains AoE splash; at 175, it gains a damage spike (Patch 7.1e raised the thresholds). Poke with S1 constantly to build toward these thresholds. S1 damage also scales with (Critical Rate + bonus Critical Damage) × 45% — Infinity Edge synergizes hard because it provides both crit chance and bonus crit damage. In trades, S1 from range, S2 Achooo! for AoE when enemies close in, and S3 Flap Flap Flap to reposition safely. In teamfights, Ult MMOOOMMMM! calls a massive AoE slow and damage zone — use it across the grouped enemies then follow up with S2 and S1 while they are slowed and taking damage.
