Current patch decision guide

How to decide if Luban No.7 is the right pick

Pick Luban No.7 if

Pick Luban No.7 when your team can peel and the enemy frontline must walk into your scattershot damage. He is excellent at punishing tanks that cannot instantly reach him.

Avoid Luban No.7 if

Avoid Luban when your team wants to dive away from you or when the enemy has multiple direct backline threats. He needs a fight built around his position.

Power spikes

  • First crit or attack-speed spike: passive damage starts winning lane trades.
  • Penetration item: frontliners can no longer ignore him.
  • Late defensive item: gives him one chance to survive the first assassin entry.

Build decision

Luban wants damage, but the build must respect how little mobility he has. If the enemy can reach him, defensive value is not optional.

Matchup logic

Stack passive safely, use control defensively, and hit the closest target. Against divers, the correct play is often stepping back before firing, not trying to out-damage the engage.

Common mistakes

Fighting level 1 or level 2 like a duelist.

Using Shark Cannon for poke before the enemy diver commits.

Standing still for one extra scattershot when Flash is already down.

Build philosophy

Luban wants high physical attack and attack speed: passive turns every 5th basic and post-skill autos into scattershots. Build PATK breakpoints and ASPD so enhanced basics proc often.

Passive: After using 4 Basic Attacks or a skill, the next Basic Attack becomes a scattershot, dealing continuous piercing damage.

Build variants

Luban No.7 build variants by matchup

Use the recommended six-item build as the baseline, then adjust the last slots for frontline pressure, burst windows, or survival.

Safe default

Core path

Boots of Dexterity -> Doomsday -> Eternity Blade -> Succubus Cloak -> Daybreaker's Virtue -> Sage's Sanctuary

Start here for Luban No.7's main damage or survival curve, then change the last 1-2 slots by draft.

Anti-tank

Core path

Boots of Dexterity -> Doomsday -> Eternity Blade

Keep attack-speed and penetration value when the enemy frontline is thick. Do not drop sustained damage just to chase backline burst.

Burst

Core path

Boots of Dexterity -> Doomsday -> Eternity Blade

Lean into crit or burst tempo only when the enemy backline lacks peel and your team can absorb the first engage.

Survival

Core path

Boots of Dexterity -> Doomsday -> Eternity Blade

Against double assassin or hard engage, an earlier defensive or revive slot is usually worth more than a sixth pure damage item.
