Harbby! So this is a good showcase of him just deleting people. I want to see some A3 action. And then, I think he should be used for his ACTUAL build as an AoE Dec Def champ that does bonus damage while doing it and can mop up with an A3 delete button.

Not to rain on your parade - but aside from showing that he *can* function as an arena nuker, have you found any other actual use for him? I've currently just got him sitting at level 1, and I can't see any reason to bother leveling him to 60.

This is just showing off an unbooked Aleksandr,  and how he can absolutely erase things. 

Yeah, I get that, but - would you ever use him in place of a more traditional nuker like Big'Un, Nethril, etc...? Like, is he essentially a step up from Kael, but that will be replaced once you get a stronger nuker? I feel even someone like Ninja would be better suited.

Not to speak for Harbby, but I know for new players looking to work on their second 60, I would recommend him as the second 60 after your starter, as he stays relevant considerably longer than many other champs. His AoE Dec Defense is paired with a significant damage potential. Those players don't have Ninja anymore.

So, what I want to see from Harbby is him paired with some common nuker (Kael or some such), Arbiter into Lyss/Seeker, with Aleks as your AoE Dec Def with Arena upside on that A3.

Gear is all we see in any arena nuker showcase. The specific nuker champ is the least important of the 4 champs. And a distant 4th.

And this also has zero relevance in comparison to a rare debuffer champ.  Not zero, but ...

Blue nukers are a dime a dozen in this game. And aleks isn't even top 5 of that group.

I asked if you have any requests. I can gear him however you want and put him into any team comp, the point is that he can 1) Debuff like your blue debuffers 2) absolutely destroy better than your blue debuffers 3) Remove buffs and then destroy better than your blue buffers. 

Why would I waste my time and resources when I was given this guy for free?

Build in any gear you want.  Show me how you will land 100pct dec defense  :)

Good night, past my bedtime 🌙 

Hmm, the point here is that he can be used far longer than Warmaiden. She hits like a wet noodle, he erases people without def down. Imagine how much he could help weaker accounts as they slowly toss a book into him every now and then. And in the videos above this comment he lands 9/12 dec defense. 

Have a good night!

Please don't waste resources on any builds for me.  You can't convince an old stubborn man to change his mind.  Especially when its me and I am right!

All I have seen is that Al hits harder than WM.  I don't need video for that :)

I would gather a poll of end game players would recommend a noob (f2p) build WM over Alek by at least 3 to 1.

I can drop his gear if you want, any team comp you would like to see?

Is it possible to get him in early game gear? I 60ed sort of mastered, and fully built him, not put any books yet. Want to see if he can nuke as hard as my delhain
