Fiddle is one of the strongest and most oppressive junglers in League of Legends. He is distinguished by a powerful AOE R that can single-handedly erase the entire enemy opposition. Additionally, Fiddle is one of the champions with the fastest clears in the game which enables him to establish early gank dominance. To make the most out of this great champion, today we are gonna look at the absolute highest win rate build for it!
Best Fiddlesticks Items
Malignance
The best first item for Fiddlesticks is the Malignance. Its passive creates a bonus damage pit that will lie below all the enemies affected by Fiddle R. The item is extremely powerful since it will create many more pits than it would on other champs, and therefore we would be getting more value out of it.
Liyandry’s Torment
Another core item for Fiddle is Liyandry’s torment. The core feature of this item is it’s passive that deals a percentage of HP damage to all enemies (monsters, champions, etc). It will enable us to clear faster, which in turn will help us generate more gold and scale faster. It will also enable us to deal more damage with our ultimate, as it will be affecting all the champions within the range of the ultimate.
Zhonia’s Hourglass
Another essential item for Fiddlesticks is the Zhonia’s Hourglass. Its stasis passive is essential for surviving R engages. Additionally, it’s important to remember that our ultimate damage will still proc after activating the stasis, we will just not be able to reposition ourselves.
Rabadon’s Deathcap
My favorite item for Fiddle is the Rabadon’s Deathcap. It will significantly boost our damage through its 130 flat and 30% global AP increase. This item marks a huge spike in the game where we will have a much easier time winning fights with a well placed ultimate.
Void Staff
Void Staff is yet another staple for a full AP build. It will round us up by giving us a huge 40% magic penetration boost. Having it built will enable us to delete squishes much more easily, and it will enable us to do significantly more damage to tankier enemies.
Boots
The greatest boots for Fiddlesticks would be the Sorcerer’s Boots. The other boots have very little utility, and these will give us the much-needed bonus magic penetration.
Best Runes for Fiddlesticks
- First Strike
- Cashback
- Triple Tonic
- Cosmic Insight
- Cheap Shot
- Ultimate Hunter
The best keystone for Fiddlesticks is the First Strike. It will help us generate some extra early game and reach our item spikes more rapidly. The Cashback rune will serve pretty much the same purpose, as it will refund 6% of the gold we spend on legendary items, giving us more gold for future purchases.
Triple tonic is just a nice rune to give as a bunch of potions with different stats. We will follow it up with Cosmic Insight which will give us some small haste on abilities and items. Finally, we will take the Cheap Shot and Ultimate Hunter. Cheap Shot is great for extra damage after impairing an enemy, while Ultimate Hunter will provide much-needed ultimate CD reduction.
Final Thoughts
Fiddle is one of the most powerful junglers. He is best played full AP where he can quickly scale and take control of the game. The core items of his greatest build would be Malignance, Liyandry’s, and Zhonia, coupled with First Strike and Ultimate Hunter runes. These are all core, especially on the rune side, Ultimate Hunter will allow us to proc our core ability much more frequently.
