How to play Danzaburou

Danzaburou is a ranged hunter from the Japanese pantheon who deals physical damage. Top players play Danzaburou in the Carry (duo) lane.

In your kit, Alluring Spirits (heal, area taunt) is your main crowd control. Fool's Gold (three exploding bags) and Tanuki Trickery (speed area, stealth exit) add damage and pressure. Your ultimate is Uproarious Rocket (fire or ride stunning rocket), on a long cooldown (about 90s at rank 1), so save it for fights that matter. Your passive is Dishonest Duplication: attacks create clones.

Community guides level Fool's Gold, Alluring Spirits and Tanuki Trickery first. Max Fool's Gold first, then Alluring Spirits, then Tanuki Trickery.

Your basic attacks are most of your damage, so keep attacking whenever it is safe. Stand at the edge of your range behind your front line and hit whoever is closest. Your power grows with every item, so farm safely early and avoid risky fights. In the duo lane, last hit minions for gold and let your support start fights.

Start with Death's Embrace, then buy Devourer's Gauntlet. Buy it early so it finishes stacking. Your core is Transcendence and Dominance, and you finish with The Executioner, Heartseeker and Riptalon. A good relic is Aegis of Acceleration. If the enemy team heals a lot or you keep dying, open the full tool and enter the enemy gods for the exact swaps.

If you own Aspect of Fellowship, it reworks Dishonest Duplication (attacks create clones) and Alluring Spirits (heal, create clones). It changes what to build, so turn on Aspect in the tool when you play it.

Top players win most often against Nemesis, Morgan Le Fay and Aphrodite, and struggle against Scylla, Chronos or Fenrir. Against those, play safer and consider a defensive item earlier.

Levels 1 to 5: Fool's Gold, Alluring Spirits, Tanuki Trickery, Fool's Gold and Uproarious Rocket. Max Fool's Gold first, then Alluring Spirits, then Tanuki Trickery, and put points in Uproarious Rocket whenever you can.
