In this comprehensive guide written by MrJPickles you can find different types of builds for Abathur which satisfy the needs of your team and also plenty of useful information regarding hero talents and different tips and tricks to keep in mind while playing this hero. Abathur can be a tricky hero to play, but with enough practice and understanding of the hero, you'll be able to have a high impact against the enemy team!
Abathur takes a lot of patience, teamwork, and map awareness to truly unlock his full potential and even now I find myself learning new tricks while playing him.
MrJPickles took all the roles that can be built on this hero and gave explanations for each of them for when they are used to their full potential.
The Team Helper: Mainly focused around Symbiote, this build requires a coordinated team to fully utilize the hat. As Abathur, you need to make sure you try to soak as best as you can when team fights break out and also to hat and deal as much damage as you can while also saving your allies. I like this build on all maps. Great build for when you have heavy auto-attackers, especially Muradin and Illidan.
Like all good guides there’s a talent break down. Explaining how the talent works and in what scenario they works best in. As well as getting MrJPickles’s opinion on which talent is good to take with which team composition and in what scenario it shines in.
Locust Nest
Such a great talent and super annoying when going against it. You think you have found Abathur and then you come to find out it's a Locust Nest. This talent is great for that extra push as well as confusing enemies on where you actually are.
We hope you've enjoyed this guide, make sure to give it a try and let MrJPickles know what you think!
