Fenrir

How to play Fenrir

Fenrir is a melee assassin from the Norse pantheon who deals physical damage. Top players play Fenrir in the Jungle.

In your kit, Unchained (leap, empower to stun) and Brutalize (leap, then channel damage) are your ways in and out of fights. Unchained (leap, empower to stun) is your main crowd control. Seething Howl (increase strength, lifesteal) adds damage and pressure. Your ultimate is Ragnarok (enlarge, bite to carry), on a long cooldown (about 110s at rank 1), so save it for fights that matter. Your passive is Unbound Runes: empowered abilities after hits.

Community guides level Brutalize, Unchained and Seething Howl first. Max Brutalize first, then Seething Howl, then Unchained.

Your job is to find and defeat a fragile target, usually the enemy mage or hunter. Do not start fights head on: wait for someone to use their escape or step out of position, then strike. In the jungle, clear your camps quickly and help other lanes by ambushing enemies who have used their escape.

Start with Hunter's Cowl, then buy Devourer's Gauntlet. Buy it early so it finishes stacking. Your core is Jotunn's Revenge and Sanguine Lash, and you finish with Barbed Carver, The Reaper and Heartseeker. A good relic is Sundering Arc. 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 Loyalty, it reworks Unchained (leap, empower to stun), Seething Howl (share strength + lifesteal) and Brutalize (protected leap, slowing channel). It changes what to build, so turn on Aspect in the tool when you play it.

Top players win most often against Danzaburou, Achilles and Kuzenbo, and struggle against Pele, Rama or Eset. Against those, play safer and consider a defensive item earlier.
