Best Murad Build, Rune Page & Guide for 2026

• If you don’t control the blue buff well while jungling, build Flashy Boots for extra cooldown reduction.

How to Combo Murad When Skill 1 Thorn of Time Cooldown is 30%+ and Charges 4+:

Use Skill 2 Another Dimension at the right moment to dodge enemy skills, or before Skill 3 Temporal Turbulence to reduce armor and make it harder for the opponent to escape its range.

Passive Rift :

• Always stack 4 passive charges first by attacking minions or monsters to unlock Skill 3 Temporal Turbulence with bonus armor penetration before diving in to attack the enemy.

Skill 1 Thorn of Time :

• Take good advantage of both outward dashes and the one return dash (can cross terrain) to chase, escape, poke, check bushes…
• Pick a safe spot to leave your afterimage when starting a dash so returning doesn’t put you in danger, like inside a turret or bush.

Skill 2 Another Dimension :

• Use Skill 2 to deal damage, reduce armor, and create a zone that slows the enemy trying to escape, then Skill 3 Temporal Turbulence will be more effective.
• Activate Skill 2 at the right moment to dodge important enemy skills, since the opponent can’t target you.

Skill 3 Temporal Turbulence :

• Take advantage of its wide damage area to poke, contest objectives, clear minions, and attack multiple targets at once.
• Activate Skill 3 at the right moment to dodge important enemy skills, since the opponent can’t attack you while you’re casting it.

In the early game, if you’re playing Murad jungle, start with the blue buff first for cooldown reduction to clear your jungle faster.

If you’re laning, focus on clearing minions fast without needing to trade skills with the enemy much.

Whichever role you’re in, your top priority is reaching level 4 as fast as possible, since Skill 3 Temporal Turbulence is this hero’s main source of power.

The best playstyle for Murad in this phase is to be as aggressive as possible to make the most of his dominant mid-game power.

Take advantage of your mobility to gank continuously, coordinate with allies to attack objectives, push lanes, and pressure turrets nonstop to widen the gold and level gap between your team and the opponent, setting up an advantage for the late game.

In the late game, take advantage of Murad ‘s mobility to continuously push minions hard on multiple lanes, forcing the opponent to split up to defend.

That creates opportunities for you to pick off the enemy’s core damage dealer or attack Dragon and Caesar for major buffs.

If a fight breaks out, try to use Skill 3 Temporal Turbulence to chip away at the enemy’s backline as much as possible, then retreat safely.
