Best Stuart Build, Rune Page & Guide for 2026

• If the enemy team has a lot of magic damage, build Medallion of Troy for more survivability.
• If the enemy team has a lot of physical damage, build Mail of Pain .
• If you need more survivability items, consider dropping Fafnir's Talon .

Basic Stuart combo:

• Use Skill 1 Death Missile to poke the enemy from range.
• Use Skill 3 Destructive Blast to stick a bomb on them and slow the target.
• Keep landing basic attacks and reuse Skill 1 Death Missile once it’s back up to burst the enemy.

Use Skill 2 Blood Shadow Eye wisely depending on the situation to chase, escape, or outplay enemies with its immunity to physical damage.

Passive Empowered Physique :

• Watch the red passive gauge — when it’s full, Stuart gets a strong boost to attack speed and movement speed, making fights much stronger.
• While empowered, keep firing basic attacks to make the most of the high attack speed along with the reduced cooldown on Skill 1 Death Missile .
• A basic attack grants 1 point, Skill 1 Death Missile grants 2 points, and Skill 3 Destructive Blast grants 3 points. Accumulate 4 points or get a kill/assist to enter the empowered state.

Skill 1 Death Missile :

• Use this skill’s long range to poke multiple targets in a line at once from a distance, clear minions quickly, or check bushes.
• Timing Skill 1 while in the empowered state from the passive Empowered Physique deals a very large amount of damage.

Skill 2 Blood Shadow Eye :

• Activate Skill 2 when trading skills or when focused with damage to take advantage of the physical damage immunity.
• Also use the movement speed boost to chase, kite, or escape from danger.

Skill 3 Destructive Blast :

• Use this skill to slow and burst the enemy with the huge damage from the bomb left on their head.
• Timing the activation of this skill correctly while dashing in can help you dodge important enemy crowd control.
• A small tip: if you suspect an enemy is hiding in a bush, you can spam this skill repeatedly near it so they get hit the moment they come out. (Be careful not to accidentally use it on minions or jungle monsters.)

In the early game, focus on farming minions, trading skills, and holding your lane well to accumulate gold for items that quickly boost your power.

Cleverly wait for enemy heroes to line up with the minion wave, then use Skill 1 Death Missile to hit all those targets at once.

Also watch for the moment the passive gauge Empowered Physique is nearly full, then attack the enemy hero to make the most of the attack speed advantage and the damage from Skill 1 Death Missile .

By the mid game, Stuart is already quite strong and capable of soloing as well as picking off isolated enemies with Skill 3 Destructive Blast .

So besides farming, you can rotate lanes to gank, coordinate with teammates to push lanes, and take Dragon and Caesar.

Avoid fighting mages and enemy heroes with high magic damage unless you’re confident, as that is exactly Stuart ‘s weakness.

By the late game, playing Stuart is similar to other marksmen — always stick with your team, ready for the full team fight that can happen at any moment.

In fights, hold your position and keep spamming Skill 1 Death Missile to poke the enemy team, stay away from the enemy’s main mage, and keep firing basic attacks.

When you see the enemy team no longer has much magic damage left, you can activate Skill 2 Blood Shadow Eye and push forward to burst down the enemy carry, securing the win for the fight and the whole match.
