Quote
Please note that this guide is under-construction, the content is constantly being edited, more screenshots will be added when i'm finished writing it out. I know i didn't put chillwinds on the skillset yet but that's because i'll do it when i'm finished with writing. If i write something that contradicts it's self, please note that i edited it quick, and did not finish editing the other part. Please keep the flaming and bitching to a minimum, thanks.

[001] - Nice, the game just started and you're the titan. Now it's time to pick! Look over for Glacious' Icon. Or click the tavern and use the hotkey by pressing (A).



 
Glacious' Pros and Cons.

Pros
  • Strong Heal
  • Pretty Good Nuke
  • Extremely Good Slow Poison
  • Current Tap is Awesome
  • Pretty Good Ultimate
Cons
  • Weak Early Game
  • Vulnerable against Early Game bases
  • Pretty weak nuke late game
  • His Slow Poison slows slower than other titans.

Alls i can think of atm.

[002] - Well here is a list of Glacious' Skills.



Frost Explosion (Q)
Costs 200 Mana.
Blasts Enemy units around a target enemy unit with a wave of damaging frost dealing 130, 150,180 damage and slowing movement.

Unit Targeted -- 10 Second Cooldown.


Input - A VERY good early game nuke, not only does it do some good damage it also slows and deals AoE damage + slow. It gets worse late game, but still a good nuke.


Current Tap
The Titan's master of cold currents allows him to tap the island's occasional currents and view what's under them. Provides random vision of areas every 30 seconds.
Passive

Input - Innate ability that's very useful. It's like a 2nd pearl except more randomish. It can help you find lumber bases easier or can help you get that windwalking builder or satyr with extreme luck. It's also good for double nuking lumber bases -- current tap lumber base then nuke, wait for cd on nuke then pearl and nuke again if they haven't detonated yet.

Bone Chill
An icy attack that slows the target enemy's movement speed by 12% and deals 10 damage/second for 6 seconds.
Passive
Input - Innate Ability, it's one of the best slow poisons in the whole game. This slow poison is extremely deadly. Not only does it slow --- it can kill whereas other slow poisons can leave a target lingering at about 1 and 2 hp with regen.

Glaciate (E)


250 Mana
Heals the titan with regenerative ice also healing nearby minons. The closer the minons, the more they get healed by. Heals 800 health.
Self-Targeted -- 10 Second Cooldown.
Input - A good heal, which is also an AoE heal. The closer the minons the better it heals them, so if you got minons tanking damage while you siege tell them to come close to you when you heal.

Sublimation (V)
150 Mana
Hides the Titan for 60 seconds by turning magic ice into a hazy fog while enchancing his movement speed and allowing him to walk through other units (not structures).  Useful for escaping units that box you in. Cooldown is 3 minutes. Beware... Gnoll Trackers can see invisible units.
Activated -- 180 Second cooldown.


Arctic Might (X)


Encases a target's limb in icy magic boosting it's attack damage by 25% and increasing it's armor by 50. Lasts 12 Seconds.
Point Targeted

Input - An okay ultimate, nothing compared to sypherious' confusion, but better than volts blink and moltenius' magmide due to bases being easily blink-proofed. Plus it comes at level 12.

------------------------
[003] Now that you've picked Glacious and you know about his skills, let's talk about items. There are a few builds that you can go.
Now that the game has started and you picked Glacious, there are a few things you can do. You can either keep your Ankh or sell it. I always sell, since the items you can buy with the gold are more viable. You can buy a webbed feet to catch that first minon, or you can go kill a wall and buy a pearl. Now about the builds you can go, i'm going to list 2.

The Siege Build

1. Titanic Trident
2. Titanic Trident
3. Titanic Trident - A pearl if necessary (Current Tap is your main scouting ability.)
4. Titanic Trident - Or Life Essence - Or Super Regen Spines - Or Berserkers Gem
5. Titanic Trident - Or Life Essence - Or Super Regen Spines - Or Berserkers Gem
6. Super Regenerative Spines - Or Titanic Trident - Or Berserkers Gem

This is the siege build, it will help you get through bases, and basically win the game. If you have an alive minon keep a pearl on it healing wards, wnad of the winds or eyes.
-------------
The Regeneration Build
1. Super Regenerative Spines
2. Super Regenerative Spines
3. Super Regenerative Spines
4. Life Essence
5. Super Regenerative SPines
6. Titanic Trident

The Regeneration build can be a very useful win, it complements windwalk extremely well. If you break through walls and you only have a wall or 2 left, you can windwalk and have like a full fountain heal, which can basically win the game for you.
------------
[004] - Skill Builds
Basic Build
01 - Windwalk
02 - Frost Explosion
03 - Glaciate
04 - Glaciate
05 - Frost Explosion
06 - Glaciate
07- Glaciate
08 - Frost Explosion
09 - Chill Winds
10 - Chill Winds
11 - Chill Winds
12 - Arctic Might

You can Variate skills like heal with nuke or get chill wind early, w/e floats your boat. This is how i play him and use his skill build. Maxing out heal first is vital, and should always be done first.
-------
[005] - Minons

Starting Tips [/b]
Now that you started, you should focus on getting a minon. You can sell your ankh, and buy a webbed feet for chasing or buy a pearl. You should get windwalk and frost explosion first since there probably won't be an early early base. You can buy a pearl and try to find wall-less bases or windwalk, and try to find a stray builder walking around. Getting a minon is vital for early game so that the minon can camp mound. You want the builders to get as little gold as possible, so you have the better chance at winning. Please limit yourself on minons, the more minons means less feed, and the less feed means the more of a chance you have to lose.

Mound Camping [/b]

This is not suggested but you can do it. Using your main titan you can try to get a minon when the builders go to gold. There are many strategies for getting a minon this way. There's teleporting while attacking buildings, blocking with healing wards and WotWs. Wand of the winds is probably one of the best ways to get your first minon.

Now that you know a couple ways of getting minons, let's talk about actually killing them. Now that you're trying to kill a wall around the mound, and damn... Now it's fortified! That's no fair! And look.. They're repairing it! If one builder is repairing the wall, wait till the wall gets down to red health, then wand the builder. They will be floatin' and be disabled You then can block the 1x1 spaces with healing wards trapping them and forcing them to go towards the mound while you can beat on them and get your first minon. Another way is your nuke, it owns and it slows. If you can land one hit on a builder with 300 hp and nuke them you may be able to kill them due to bone chill. Let's look at it this way, Your base damage is going to be 120-120, 130-130, 140-140 depending on your level. Now combined with your nuke (depending on it's level,) you will be able to get it. So let's say your damage is 140. Your nuke is level 1, 120 damage. 140+120 = 260? Now your frostbite deals 10 damage per second for 6 seconds, so now it's 140+120+60 = 320. The best builders to do it on is Murloc, Makrura, Goblin, Gnoll, Ogre or Faerie if skills are on cooldown.

Worst Builders to Chase After [/b]

Tauren - Tauren is a bitch to try to kill. His charge makes him go way too fast, there is a counter to this, Wand of the wind, but good luck casting it on him and killing him. Taurens can take a hit, which is why he's one of the worst Builders to chase after.


Magnataur - With his Windwalk and frostbite, it's just a bitch to go after him. He also can take a hit and be able to get away from you. If he frostbites you and you do punish it off, it could be just the amount of time he needs to be able to get away successfully.

Demonologist - His magic reduction can fuck you up, not to mention his nether warp which turns him etheral. You can chase after him, he's not one of the hardest to catch but he's still up there in the top. If you do catch him nethering, buy an eye of the ocean and cast it on him when he teleports. His Demonic Aracthnid is also another skill that can make you want to slam your head on the wall since it slows at the same speed your slow slows at, preventing of you from getting that kill.

Faerie - Faeries blink is another bitchy skill that can fuck you up. Not to mention Faerie also has panic. If blink is on cooldown along with panic go for Faerie, just be aware of the cooldown times and the skill of the player.

Things you can do with minons. [/u]
One - Get rid of him by typing -kick (colorhere)
Two - Punish him so you can take control of the minon but not kick him.
Three - Make it Tank Damage while you hit the walls
Four - Buy items on it so the cooldown goes down while you do stuff.

Minons Pros and Cons.

Pros
  • Good tanking ultimate
  • Pretty Good Nuke
  • Extremely Good Slow Poison
  • Ultimate is good
Cons
  • Heal does not jump-heal
  • Heal takes 5 seconds to finish healing
  • Pretty weak nuke late game
  • His Slow Poison slows slower than other titans.
  • Loses 100 Damage When Ultimate is used.
------
[006] - Hotkeys

 Once you spawn this should be automatically done, hold control press 1 and click your punishment cage. Now you have macroed it, everytime you press 1 the punishment cage will be brought up. If you have a de-buff on you then press 1 and then "S" and click yourself, and the de-buff will be removed. If you need to teleport because you're in a tight and risky situation press 1 and "E" and click yourself, there is a 3 second delay on teleportation!

I like strategies you suggest for sieging, and you've listed most of the ways to kill builders. Remember that sneaking up on unsuspecting builders never work on skilled players. Apart from that I like what you've added so far.

Will comment more as you add more content.

EDIT: Came to think of it. His slow poison can actually kill builders, put that in pros.

Yours is lacking that and a little more, include things like item builds and basic strategies. But it's coming along good so far.

Your cons are not being specific enough. All titans start out weak early game and all are weak against early bases.

Glacious' nuke is the best nuke early game besides most of the stunning nukes.

Don't forget to mention that frost from nuke does 10 dps, which can kill a low hp builder.
@ The ultimate: Sypherious's ulti is called confusion, you said +25% atk speed, but it's 25% damage (says so in description at beginning)
@ The heal: it's a really good heal, so remember to say that you should max out the heal asap.  Instant 850 hp at level 4.  Good cd, good hp healed.

I personally think that you should post the cd, how much damage/how much healed/ how much slowed per level of skill instead of putting max level. Also just noticed your missing chilling winds I think is the name.
