Notes on Arum's Item Build

Note
Only go full magic on Arum Arum if you’re confident your mechanical skill is clearly better than your opponent’s, otherwise it’s very risky, since this isn’t a mobile hero — full-tank, unkillable Arum is generally the safer choice in ranked.
Note
Build your support item first depending on the situation of each match.

How to Combo Arum

Basic Combo

  • Snare 3
  • Lion Tamer 1
  • Uncaged 2
  • Basic Attack
  • Lion Tamer 1

Engage with the ultimate Snare Snare (use Flicker Flicker first for a surprise) to bind the enemy carry and instantly get 3 spirit beasts. Now Arum Arum is standing right next to the target, so Skill 1 Lion Tamer Lion Tamer is sure to hit, dealing magic damage and cutting its cooldown by 50%. Then cast Skill 2 Uncaged Uncaged with all 3 beasts to slow, heavily slow and finally stun for 1 second, holding the target in place for your team. Finish with basic attacks and Skill 1 again to recharge beasts so your passive keeps healing you. In lane, you can instead spam Skill 1 to build 3 beasts and fire Skill 2 at the opponent when they step up to last-hit.

How to Use Arum's Skills Effectively

  • The spirit beasts from Ravenous Beasts Ravenous Beasts orbit Arum Arum , constantly dealing magic damage to nearby enemies and healing you, so step up close to your opponent when trading.
  • You heal much more when they hit enemy heroes; if they only hit minions or monsters, the healing is smaller.
  • Beasts come from Skill 1 Lion Tamer Lion Tamer and the ultimate Snare Snare , and leave you when you cast Skill 2 Uncaged Uncaged , so weigh keeping them for sustain against sending them out for crowd control.
  • Deals magic damage around you and summons 1 more spirit beast, up to 3 at a time; build up all 3 before every fight.
  • Hitting an enemy reduces its cooldown by 50%, so cast it in the middle of a minion wave or right next to enemy heroes to cycle it quickly.
  • The number of beasts decides how strong Skill 2 Uncaged Uncaged is, so always use Skill 1 first and Skill 2 afterwards.
  • Cast it with 3 beasts ready: the first slows for 1 second, the second heavily slows for 1 second, and the third stuns for 1 second.
  • It has long range and gives Arum Arum a brief burst of movement speed, so use it to harass, chase or reposition.
  • After the attack the beasts leave Arum Arum , so recharge them with Skill 1 Lion Tamer Lion Tamer before the next fight.
  • Arum Arum dashes to bind the target, and both of you are immobilized for a short time; use it on a marksman or mage standing away from their team so your allies can burst them.
  • Damage Arum Arum takes during the bind is also passed to the victim, including enemy tower shots, so tanking hits at this moment also deals damage.
  • It instantly summons 3 beasts, so Skill 2 Uncaged Uncaged right afterwards is ready to slow and then stun; pair it with Flicker Flicker for a surprise engage.

How to Play Arum in the Early Game

At the start of the match, Arum Arum is fairly tanky and has decent damage, so play proactively, attacking and trading skills with your opponent continuously.

Use Skill 1 Lion Tamer Lion Tamer to poke the enemy and stack spirits; once you have 3 spirits, use Skill 2 Uncaged Uncaged to strike your opponent for big damage and an extremely annoying effect.

You can also stack spirits and use them to trigger healing from your passive Ravenous Beasts Ravenous Beasts to hold your lane better.

If there’s an opening, take advantage of Skill 2’s Uncaged Uncaged long range to harass the enemy jungle.

How to Play Arum in the Mid Game

Arum Arum ‘s job in the mid game is to keep following and protecting the AD, or if the AD is already tanky enough or has another support, you can follow your assassin to coordinate ganks.

Always keep Skill 3 Snare Snare and Flicker Flicker ready to suddenly hard-suppress the enemy’s core damage dealer and send them to the kill feed.

Remember that while using Skill 3 Snare Snare to suppress an enemy, any damage Arum Arum takes is transferred to the suppressed target, so plan carefully to turn the enemy’s turret hits or attacks into damage against themselves.

How to Play Arum in the Late Game

The late game is when Arum Arum is extremely tanky with a full-tank build, so lead the charge for your team when opening fights.

Always stick with your team during this phase and act as a shield to create space for your allies to fight.

Use Skill 2 Uncaged Uncaged for wide-area damage and crowd control, and Skill 3 Snare Snare to suppress an assassin threatening your AD or to pin down the enemy’s core damage dealer to secure the win in the fight.
