Build Explanation

This build focuses on maximizing Roger's damage output and mobility in the Gold Lane. Warrior Boots provide durability, Windtalker and Endless Battle enhance attack speed and damage, Malefic Roar and Great Dragon Spear increase armor penetration, and Sea Halberd provides anti-heal against regenerating enemies.

Introduction

Roger is a versatile hero who excels in both ranged and melee combat, thanks to his ability to switch between human and wolf forms. In the Gold Lane, Roger's adaptability allows him to effectively deal with a variety of opponents, making him a formidable presence throughout the game. Roger is also viable in the Jungle due to his fast clear speed. Mastering Roger involves understanding his skill combos, managing his dual forms, and optimizing his build for maximum impact.

Early Game

In the early game, focus on farming and poking your opponent with Roger's human form abilities. Start with Hunter's Steps for mobility and lane control. Use Open Fire to harass and zone out the enemy, while last-hitting minions to build your economy. Be cautious of ganks and maintain vision control with wards. Prioritize Warrior Boots for added durability and early survivability.

Mid Game

Transition into the mid game by leveraging Roger's ability to switch forms. Use Wolf Transformation to engage or escape, capitalizing on the increased defense and mobility. Begin to roam and assist in team fights, utilizing Full Moon Curse to maximize damage output. Windtalker and Endless Battle should be completed to enhance attack speed and sustain, making you a significant threat in skirmishes and team fights.

Late Game

In the late game, Roger's role shifts to a high-damage dealer capable of shredding tanks and carries alike. Focus on positioning and timing your engagements. Use Malefic Roar and Great Dragon Spear to penetrate enemy defenses, and Sea Halberd to counteract any healing from opponents. Coordinate with your team to secure objectives and take advantage of Roger's burst potential in wolf form to eliminate key targets.

Skill Combo

Human Form: Start with Open Fire to slow and reduce enemy defense, followed by basic attacks to harass and poke. Wolf Form: Initiate with Wolf Transformation for a quick gap close and slow, then follow up with basic attacks to maximize damage from Full Moon Curse. Use Hunter's Steps to reposition and chase down enemies.

Conclusion

Favorable Matchups: Marksman and squishy mages who are vulnerable to Roger's burst damage and mobility. Challenging Matchups: High sustain fighters and tanks who can outlast Roger's initial burst. Use Sea Halberd to mitigate their healing and coordinate with your team for focused takedowns.
