Pros and Cons[]
Pros[]
- He have 2 life bar
- He can charge his armor by charging the passive to enemies or creeps
- Causes real damage
- Immunity to damage and any control effects when losing armor
- His attacks are convenient at long range and increase the range of his Fire Missiles and Fire Stake
- Immune to CC while performing the Ultimate Last Insanity
Cons[]
- Has a very weak early game
- When he loses his armor he is very vulnerable
- Heroes with explosive damage and marksmen with high damage can destroy his armor quickly
- highly mobile heroes can easily dodge his 1st skill
Cons after Nerfed[]
- - His growth in life has decreased and his life in early game also those that he does not make vulnerable since he can lose his armor more easily.
Tactics[]
- -It can be carried from jungle I recommend always having the red buff to lower the speed with the Fire Missilesand that the enemies do not escape, a tip you can use the second while in the Last Insanity because as X.Borg does not slow down when he charges the passive you can use it so that once the passive is charged to bring them closer you also use it intelligently when you are going to fall by surprise throw the Fire Stake to the most likely direction where it will go for example if the enemy is cleaning the line throw the Fire Stakeon the tower since it will try to run towards it To be in a safer place I recommend charging the passive before with the Fire Missiles and then using the Last Insanity this only in case your enemy does not have much escape such as blinking abilities, etc. and it is advisable to do it when you have a vampire spell, when you lose your armor your attacks become long range when this happens play cautiously in special TF stay at a reasonable distance causing damage with the Fire Missiles and dragging the enemies and charging the armor with The Fire Stake , you can also use the blue buff to load it quickly, just remember that if you are not the jungle and there is someone else who needs it, leave it because X.Borg does not need it
Tips for Different Lanes[]
- - EXP Lane: You should lane X.Borg calmly. Heroes with notably balanced early game like Paquito, Bane, or generally anyone with fast and medium high-damage can nullify your passive effectively and quickly. Play passively until you have your first item or receive help from your allied hero(es). In the case that your lane rival being Masha, Badang, Lapu-Lapu, you likely win if you play cunningly. Nevertheless, taking risks is not highly recommended.
- Jungle:It can clear the jungle quickly for its real damage I recommend going for the red buff since you can attack the red buff and the creep that is next to it better even if the grass walker is on the side of the red buff, notice your enemies if they carry heroes like Layla, Lesly, Hanabi, Aurora, Gord heroes that do not have mobility but with high damage I recommend a flame retribution to use it in TF or when you use ultimate to avoid that they remove your armor if you still do not have vampire spell but if they have enemies like Brody, Clint, Kimmy, or in general, a character that mobility or escapes an ice retribution so that they cannot escape so easily and you can reach them.
Extra Tip[]
- I personally do not recommend doing it first item Bloodlust Axe as X.Borg has had his durability was nerfed considerably in early and his life is quite low so regeneration is not that useful and you lose a lot of damage.
- Queen's Wings's passive, Demonize, is able to trigger when X.Borg loses his armor (either due to taking too much damage or a usage of his ultimate), plus the other passive, Demonize, scaling in attack based on lost HP (Firaga Armor is treated as HP). This makes Queen's Wings suitable for X.Borg's Armorless State.
Must team-up[]
- X.Borg has good synergies with Terizla and Minsitthar ,The combination of his ultimate is a very good combo and they are even better with X.Borg 2nd skill
Counters[]
- Hildadue to her high early damage and her resistance
- Wanwan with her high mobility have an ease to dodge her 1st skill
- Natalia can easily remove her armor in addition to silencing him so that she cannot use her ultimate to escape
Most personal threats[]
