Core Items

These items are necessary in order to play Cresht optimally. Only diverge from a core item if you are a very experienced player or you have a very good reason for doing so.

Arena of Valor Gaia's Standard
Gaia’s Standard
Gaia’s Standard offers a great amount of sustain, healing Cresht as he tanks for his team. The regular regeneration of HP will keep him in fights and protecting allies for a long time, boosting his overall ability to contribute to his team as a result. It additionally assist him with mobility, something he needs to stay near squishier allies.
Arena of Valor Shield of the Lost
Knight’s Plate

Each item that Knight’s Plate builds into is a useful addition to Cresht’s kit, The Aegis a better choice when looking for a bit more utility through abilities while Shield of the Lost offers more when it comes to overall defensive potential.

Optional Items

Offensive Item Choices

Mantle of Ra is a hybrid item that can offer a bit of additional farming potential along with a decent amount of armor. The item will additonally increase his overall presence in fights, damaging enemies as they try to rip him down.
Arena of Valor Spear of Longinus
Spear of Longinus
Spear of Longinus provides both health to assist in tanking and damage to keep up in fights. The cooldown reduction is a huge help to the mana-less Cresht, allowing him to cast his abilities more freely. Spear of Longinus will additionally strip away armor from the target each time the wielder attacks, making it a great way to soften up enemies for your allies.

Defensive Items Choices

Arena of Valor Amulet of Longevity
Amulet of Longevity
Amulet of Longevity amplifies the healing the wearer receives from all sources, including other tanking items like Gaia’s Standard or Crimson Banner. This will improve Cresht’s ability to sustain himself in team fights while giving a large boost to his HP pool.

If taking a supportive role on the team, Cresht can find quite a bit of use in Water Gem and its upgrade paths. It will make him much more effective at babysitting his team by providing them benefits when nearby as well as improving their overall gold gains.

Medallion of Troy offers Cresht a lot of protection from magic damage. The additional health and cooldown reduction are both perfect for him as well, allowing him to regularly deal out spells and take damage.

Sample Item Builds

[Added 9/13/2018] This build has been seen in professional leagues and in a recent video by Darkbreaker. It puts Cresht in the solo lane, relying on Mantle of Ra for wave clear. In addition, because Cresht needs to auto-attack in order to build his ultimate anyway, the first few items help boost his attack, with Omni Arms adding an extra kick in its Elemental Power passive. Between Mantle of Ra, Medallion of Troy, and Blade of Eternity, Cresht should have reasonable defense as well, particularly because you’ll be able to pop your ult much more often.

This build allows Cresht to play as a support, peeling enemies away from his allies. Tidecaller’s mark is an essential item for this type of build, providing buffs to his allies while hindering his enemies. The other items will beef him up with hefty defensive stats and effects.

This build focuses completely on survivability, making Cresht into a near invincible terror on the battlefield. The Aegis and Frost Cape provide some coverage from physical damage while Gilded Greaves and Gaia’s Standard protect the sea best from magical assault. Tidecaller’s Mark will give Cresht some additional support potential along with its defensive stats, allowing Cresht some use beyond standing as a damage sponge.

Watch Rest explain his build here.

This build is heavily centered around roaming around the map to assist allies when laning and for getting into the center of larger fights whenever they break out. Cresht will be incredibly tanky, able to hold onto the front line and keep enemies away from his allies.

  1. April 2019 update. Mantle of Ra,Guilded greaves,Gaias Standard,Hercules Madness,Frost Cape,Amulet of Longevity Starting with Ra will give you early wave clear health and regen, Gaias early will really help sustain. Hercules Madness adds attack power, now having 80 attack and the shield really help. Frost Cape helps with cresht keeping those elusive enemies close and slowed for your team to take them out quickly, and finishing with Amulet Boost your health to insane amount of health. If having a hard time I replace Frost Cape with Rock shield for the extra sustain potential.

  2. Tidecaller (all) o anillo del demonio (vs batman, wukong o Quillen) , dorada de greaves, heladas del capo, estandar de gaia, manto de ra, medallon de troya

    Con un stun muy util con capa helada, y una regeneracion de vida increible, cresht se convierte en un tanque inmortal con mas de un 50% en ambas armaduras.

  3. Are the support items viable on cresht? I was thinking if you use the shield active ability thing you could give a tank on your team a shield and in conjunction you use cresht ult so you have two strong tanks.
