Micro.ĭespite Blizzard having buffed its damage in the recent patch, this talent is still pretty abysmal. Run around, poke some folk, sit in a bush while you manage the other two, break stealth, rinse, repeat. Take this if you take Spy Games on level 1, and Erik will suddenly become deadly. The sustain on Erik is handy, but the movement speed is even more so. Take this if you take Explosive Attacks on level 1, as they synergize extremely well for previously discussed reasons. Erik is fast and can evade most threats, and if he does take damage he can hearth and return to lane the quickest. Maps that I think Bribe is strongest on are: Garden of Terror, Volskaya Foundry, Sky Temple, Blackheart's Bay, Cursed Hollowīaleog is the Viking that needs sustain the most, as he is fragile and slow. The problem is, maps without siege camps give much less value, and if your opponents are on top of their rotations it can be hard sometimes to even spend any of your carefully accumulated stacks. Having three bodies does make it particularly easy to steal enemy camps as well, and that is always a very strong play. On most three-lane maps, as long as you don't die, you should be able to grind out two stacks to capture one siege camp before the first objective. This bribe mechanic can be slow to build, especially if you're not able to soak three lanes at once. For this reason, I think that not only is this the best talent at this level, but also the easiest to utilize. Taking this combined with Pain Don't Hurt at level 4 essentially doubles Baleog's damage to minions and camps, gives him easy sustain in lane, allows him to bully trades against many solo-laners under the wave, and makes him able to solo most camps. This talent is the only real option to bulwark that weakness. Despite TLV being a macro-oriented character, their ability to clear lanes can be lacking at times, especially early on. In my humble opinion, this is by far the best talent and should be picked in the majority of games. If you pick this talent for the stealth, you're doing it wrong.
For the less-experienced TLV players, this can be a very difficult talent to use, as it is extremely micro-intensive, and takes a significant amount of attention - attention necessary to keep your other Vikings from dying. Combine this with Erik the Swift and he can chase down low health heroes for cleanup, and do serious poke damage in lane. Erik, the speediest of the Trio, suddenly becomes a deadly force once this buff is proc'd. Having an extra 75% basic attack damage on Erik is a serious bonus. Olaf usually isn't the one dying first.Īs I'm writing this guide, all of the top players who play TLV in CCL are running this as the preferred talent at level 1. In fights, you certainly want to keep him alive to get as much value from Nordic Attack Squad as possible, but with a bit of pull-back micro, he will usually be fine. Any health loss in lane can be quickly recovered by his passive. Olaf is the most survivable Viking he doesn't need any more health or armor. +20% hp and 2 stacks of block is usually never a bad talent, however, with TLV it's completely unnecessary. On the surface, this talent looks pretty decent.
