Surprisingly effective veno build to try:

3 wraithband wand treads -> (can skip if not needed: vessel, hood, euls, or vanguard/crimson) -> radiance -> blink -> octo

Talents: gale CD, plague wards, spell life steal, plague wards

Get 3+ poison sting early, 2 minimum in gale, get wards as needed when you start taking over a lane/jungle. I usually delay ult till 11/12



So far this is the best version of this build I’ve tried. Seems clowny but the timings work out. Divine 3 fwiw

Veno wins his lane, farms very safely, and usually requires a lot of attention to gank so he makes tons of space. He generally has no problem getting 1 major item, then he starts losing split push power and stalls in farm. Treads radiance means you farm up while it’s safe to do so, then you group with rad and your lvl 15 and you are real hard to fight in to. Blink is used for positioning and accelerating farm, could go force instead. Octo and 20 means you are really hard to kill in drawn out fights, which is good cause you need to snowball xp till your 25 wards when you reach peak plagueiness.

I’ve experimented with other item builds — tranquil, force, early greaves, Midas, euls, mael — but nothing seems to have the impact rad does.

Also FYI gale spawns 2 wards per meepo
