Hecarim mana issues
Asked by Hdinis09 on March 5, 2017
Hello, i recently tried Hecarim. And i liked every single aspect of him! However, after my buff is gone(sometimes i try to steal other teams blue),i have a lot of mana issues!
How can i fight that?
Thank you!
A) Buy an early Sheen. IDK if this is advised anymore, but some months ago a viable build path was Smite upgrade item -> Trinity Force before even finishing the full jungle item. With the current lethality meta triforce is possibly not a first buy though.
B) Go hybrid with Enchantment: Runic Echoes. It was a viable build some time ago. Then again, this means you wouldn't be doing the lethality build so it's probably not meta.
*If you want to go A or B make sure to look for an updated build and not one from the past season.
C) Learn to limit your skill usage. Hecarim can spam his skills quite often, which may be the reason why you're running out of mana. You may want to avoid using too many skills, especially if you're close to full health. You can see it as "trading a bit of hp for a bit of mana" whenever you hold onto a skill during your jungle clear.
I think C is the advised option currently, so you might want to minimize skill usage as much as possible. Don't use Spirit of Dread on single monster camps, don't spam Devastating Charge during your clear to use it without charging the movespeed, make sure to use Rampage right before hitting your Devastating Charge to make maximum use of the AD gained by the movement speed... There's probably more tips in guides, you should ask there if these aren't doing the job for you.
And besides, the jungler item gives a lot of mana regen in jungle, so that shouldn't be a real big problem.
Hope I've helped.
