Best Bijan Build, Rune Page & Guide for 2026

Bijan is a true-damage fighter in Arena of Valor, usually playing the Abyssal Lane against Caesar with fast engage and strong damage over time. Bijan’s kit lets him chase targets, slow them, and boost his own survivability when diving into fights. In team fights, Bijan is especially dangerous when he catches a marksman or mage, applying huge pressure to the backline and making it hard for opponents to turn the tide in prolonged duels.

• If facing a team with strong physical damage, build Mail of Pain instead of Spear of Longinus .
• If facing too much magic damage, build Medallion of Troy instead of Spear of Longinus .
• If matched against a hero with strong healing, build Curse of Death after your boots and drop Spear of Longinus .
• Once you have extra gold, rotate Blade of Eternity with other life-saving items.

Passive Sand's Gift :

• Every 6 seconds, Bijan ‘s basic attack becomes empowered, dealing extra physical damage and healing him — watch this window to time your attacks on the enemy hero.
• The passive also grants Bijan a thick shield for 6 seconds, stacking up to 10 times when taking damage, so don’t be afraid of prolonged fights.

Skill 1 Desert Onslaught :

• This skill dashes twice and can cross terrain, so use it to chase, close in, or escape.
• Skill 1 can be used twice, so weave it with basic attacks to increase damage and make yourself harder to pin down.
• Since this is a skillshot that launches at the end point, aim it carefully for precision.

Skill 2 Desert Echo :

• This skill slows and deals damage 3 times, with each hit dealing 25% more damage than the last, so try to land all 3 hits.
• Its second effect resets your basic attack, so basic attack immediately after casting it to optimize your damage.

Skill 3 Desert Beast :

• Take advantage of this skill’s extremely high speed to gank, split push, or escape.
• With big damage and a wide-area launch, use Skill 3 to dive into the densest cluster of enemy heroes to open a fight extremely effectively.
• Since it moves very fast, practice steering it a lot, or you’ll easily crash into a wall.
• Note: if the ally you’re carrying gets crowd-controlled, this skill will be interrupted immediately.

In the early game, Bijan is very strong with his kit — keep using skills to farm minions fast then attack your opponent, but also watch the enemy jungler’s position to avoid pushing too far and getting ganked.

If your opponent hugs the turret and won’t come out, move to farm jungle camps or invade and harass the enemy jungle if you’re confident.

By the mid game, take advantage of Skill 3’s Desert Beast extremely high speed and carry your team’s assassin to gank continuously, creating massive pressure on the enemy’s mid and jungle, then attack major objectives once there’s an opening.

This is a very strong phase for Bijan with big damage and decent durability, so play proactively and spam your skills continuously to attack since their cooldowns are very short.

If you have an ally nearby, confidently use Skill 3 Desert Beast to dive into the middle of the enemy formation and open a fight, creating an opening for your team to attack.

By the late game, Bijan is still strong and tanky, but there will be more powerful late-game heroes around, so don’t dive in recklessly like in earlier phases.

Use Skill 3 Desert Beast to circle around and stick to the enemy’s core damage dealer in a fight, or dive in first with your ally, then poke and wait for the chance to burst the enemy’s core damage dealer.

You can also take advantage of openings to split push with Skill 3 Desert Beast . As long as the enemy team isn’t paying attention or is tied up elsewhere, Bijan can completely destroy the enemy’s main base in a short time to secure the win.
