Hello everyone. Leoric appears to be one of the less popular heroes so I wanted to make a guide for him to help him potentially see more use. A lot of his current builds appear to be out dated so I wanted to put a few updated builds in place.

The only one I really am going to is the chase build because I feel like the others are pretty self explanatory. The chase build is something I haven't seen another Leoric try and I have had surprising success with it against some comps. It focuses on one of the most underrated skills in the game - Wraith Walk.

With the new changes to Royal Focus you can do some serious damage with Skeletal Swing. On top of that it allows a lot of chase potential. Add Lingering Apparition into the mix and no one can run from you...ever. Like seriously I mean ever. Wraith Walk is a 50% speed boost which means you run faster than people on mounts. With Royal Focus if you don't get hit you can use it every 4 seconds which is huge. Another little known fact is that Wraith Walk can go through gates. Yes that's right enemy gates and this build capitalizes on that.

Ever been fighting someone only for them to run into their base with a sliver of health and get away? Not with this build. You will be wraith walking right into their gate while they think they are running to freedom for a sip of that sweet sweet fountain and then drop a 150% damage skeletal swing on em and a drain hope to crush their bones into the oblivion of the nexus. If you didn't get hit while wraith walk is up you will likely escape right back out as well. You are a tank, you can survive a few tower blasts and it should only take a few seconds to get out. This also works great on abby's who like to hide right behind a gate and think they are safe.

Even if you manage to die while chasing people (which can happen until you get good at it) that's fine too. Trading kills with Leoric is still a win in your favor as you still have map sight and a faster respawn time, although it should obviously try to be avoided.

The ultimate and 20 Talent can be changed if you want, those are just my preference since with that build is extremely easy to get into position.
