Hi, im a specialist main and like playing champs that can really split push, making vikings my second favorite besides murky. im at a 23-22k MMR and played since late beta. i may not be the most experienced player but i have played for sometime and look forward for new specialists that are unique and not garbage or op (xul)

Bribe - one of the best talents, unless its tomb of spider queen. Vikings can take multiple camps at once which makes this talent very usefull, cus no vikins is going to solo a camp without taking heavy damage, even with merc lord. Take this talent most just because it helps so much. The others either makes you play less or more on one vikings.

Mercenary Lord - taking and dealing more damage to camps is the key to lost vikings. being able to take 2 camps at once is so good but taking quicker and more risk free is amazing.

Spin To Win! - such an increase to damage. just amazing. dont take the others its not worth it, since you are already squishy enough.

Play Again! - reason to take this ult instead of the other is because you are able to split push 24/7, unless the enemy team camps your *** really hard. and the other ult requires all vikings to be together at the same time which destroys the purpose of playing them.

Jump! - if the enemy team is ******ed anough to ult any viking with any ult, this will just make them look stupid. this will help with escapes, survival, dodging, flying over enemies and so on. such a must have talent. Would only take the nordic attack squad if the enemy team consists of 3 or more tanks, chogall and random tank and so on. burning rage is pretty useless on vikings due to spin to win.

Large and In Charge - being able to stun with a charge? this talents make you able to 1v1 anyone, if the target is jaina just jump and dodge her w and e and its gg wp. this talent also allow you to engage more in teamfights and interrupt important targets with channeled ults such as liming, lili and others. the other talents just makes vikings to do so little things.

Viking Fury of the Storm - deals more damage with basic attacks, and works on every vikings with seperate cooldowns. this will make you able to take some camps solo 1 shot minion waves and just being a absolute split pushing god. upgrading your ult at 20 isnt worth a damn. the enemy team will most likely have kill you after the ultimate is refreshed and sequel is only usable if you are being camped a bunch. just go for fury of the storm.

the talents on the other build is what i used for tomb of the spider queen since bribe is useless and camps wont do much with merc lord. this is more of a teamhelper build but isnt that good and i havent tried tomb of spiderqueen yet with the normal, since im pretty sure it wont be that good.

kaelthas can **** your day up but liming shouldnt be that much of a problem, just stay away and farm lanes. dodge murkys puffer and poke him. others are pretty much the same, get away if low, engage if at high hp. never take fountain with olaf since he has muradin passive and try not to recall. thats about it.

so before level 4 you only want to farm lanes. go olaf mid, erik bot and baelog (nice name) top. after level 4 try to take their camps. try to stay at your side of the lane before enemy towers are down. then you can move to middle, but olaf should stay close to his towers because he is melee. once the enemy fort is down move behind it and just afk. if someone tries to attack you tell them to stfu and w and run away. at 20 try to help the team by coming from the behind and never engaging but just giving them a helping hand. win the game by being 3-5 levels ahead depending how much you team died or how much farm they got. super easy once you get to level 6 with vikings with this strategy since lanes should allways be baelog top, olaf mid and erik bot. once level 4 your first camp should be artilery one since you can solo it and should have 2 stacks of bribe. focus on getting theirs and have 1 vikings next to the camp so it gets buffed. after the camp dies take baelog and olaf to take a 4 man camp and eric to take another artilery cmap if you have 1 stack. put alot of preasure on the enemy team and make sure your team doesnt engage that much without you. make sure 1 of your teammates are in each lane and that 2 are in mid/top. if they are mid take olaf close so he is in the exact middle of the map and if they are 2 take baelog close to their tower. pretty easy

Lost Vikings are the most unique heroes in the game, mainly do to obviously being 3 in 1. He is probably the worst team fighter but pretty desent 1v1 hero, but the best split pusher. you should allways pick him on maps such as towers of doom or cursed hollow.

thats it. sorry if i misspelled anything

Artilery camp = long range camp
4 man camp = the tankier big push one.
