Hey guys! its Druiette writing this, and i love artanis! at first i was not to fond of the e and q, but its really not. i got him lvl 10 in the pre release week and it was a blast. it also made me realise his strengh and weakness:
Pros
-good at staying in a fight and keeping enemies in them
-good at chasing at lvl 16 with charge and e combo
- amazing at a thing me and my friends call: "The smash strat", you go in with anther assassn or bruiser and you smash enemies into the ground
-dodge: blizzards, gravotron bombs, drain hope, all shall suffer etc. with your Q
-
Cons
-like chen he's very weak against blinds, stuns and silences

-if you have to run for a 1v1, DONT RUN!, stay fighting and keep an eye on your trait and wait for teamates to come.
-use blind as a scouting tool
-dont try to snipe your e, but get in the targets face and switch places
-if you can E, doesnt mean you have to E
-if you try to run, DONT Q it will get you closer to the enemy in the backdash :)

I used this build almost since the start and my idea was dmg and trait cd reduction.
LVL 1: reactive parry is good,but i dont like it because you have a blind ult. you rather want dmg to smash raynor at lvl 10 instead of 2 block charges agianst him when he's blinded. so i pick seasoned masrksman.
LVL 4: Chrono Surge, because it increases attack speed and thats nice, tbh i never tried the cd on Q but it seems good, the range and speed isnt really good tbh.
LVL 7: cd reduction on Q, do this on enemy team and you have your trait back!
Heroic: Suppresson pulse if they have AA assassins, pretty obvious right?. if they dont have AA, do beam and focus it on healer :)
LVL 13: Triple blades :D MORE DMG, MORE CD REDUCTION ON TRAIT!!!!!!!!!!! MORE DMG
LVL 16: i tried titan killer for a while and it did dmg so thats nice, BUT zealot charge is the winner for me. the charge is basically guaranteed dmg of 3 auto attacks (its alot) and if you charge and swap your target is ded!
LVL 20: tbh, every talent is god in this tier (the penta lazor isnt as good as you think) i pick shields because if you use your W you get 18 seconds of your trait every 4 seconds!

this is my first build, and i like to type stuff. ill add stuff if thoughts cross my mind. I hope this build helps you with artanis!!!!!
