Rook Builds
- Rapid Attack
- Elusive
- Burst Damage
Role Split Pusher, Rapid Barrage
Playstyle This build focuses on attacking quickly and often. You will still excel at 1v1s but possess less power. Focus on pushing lanes with Thundercaller while farming neutrals with any extra time. Last hitting brawlers is still a priority but lean your focus towards auto attacking more in order to create constant pressure around the map. Utilize the attack speed from Murder of Crows and your superior move speed to catch, slow, and stick on any isolated targets.
Deals 150% damage to non-hero units.
25 Attack Speed
Activate to increase movespeed by 80 and to gain unit walking for 3 sec.
Attacks apply 20% movement slow to target. Lasts 2.0 seconds.
Slow is less powerful for ranged attackers.
+35 Movement Speed
Grants a 20% chance to deal 2x the damage on an attack.
+10 Resistance
Razer
Bonus Attack Damage increases the build's burst potential while the illusive active provides one of your few methods of escape.
Role Elusive, Attack Damage
Playstyle As an extremely threatening damage dealer, Rook is often the focus of enemy attention. This build punishes enemies who over-commit on Rook by making you a pain to catch and kill, at a slight sacrifice to damage output. This build is especially effective when you have other reliable sources of damage in your team to capitalize on the opponents' over-extension.
+250 Health
Activate: remove all stuns/slows and provide 50% stun/slow reduction for 2 seconds.
Attacks apply 20% movement slow to target. Lasts 2.0 seconds.
Slow is less powerful for ranged attackers.
Grants a 20% chance to deal 2x the damage on an attack.
Activate: gain 80 Resistance for 8 seconds.
Razer
Razer both boosts your elusiveness and damage output. Try to save Into the Shadows for moments in which your other elusive tools are on cooldown.
Role Glass Cannon, Burst Attack Damage
Playstyle This build focuses on getting in quick at the right moment, unleashing a deadly flurry of attacks, and retreating before enemies have a time to converge. The key is to maximize the bonus attack speed from Murder of Crows after each ability activation. Staying alive will be difficult, and sustained damage will be poor after the initial burst.
+20 Power
Activate: grants 20% resistance penetration for 5 seconds.
Using an ability that costs mana grants 45 bonus damage on your next attack.
Grants a 20% chance to deal 2x the damage on an attack.
Basic attacks ignore 40% of enemy Resistance.
+35 Movement Speed
Razer
Bonus Attack Damage increases the build's burst potential while the illusive active will bail you out of tough situations.

Rook Lore
Rook is an elven archer from the forests of Gael. Seemingly coming from nowhere, he surfaced mysteriously from the forest during the elves’ darkest hour and led them on a successful campaign against the men of the east and west kingdoms, securing their liberty and becoming a living legend amongst the elven tribes. So much so, that some say he is not an elf at all, but an avenging spirit born out of the dark reaches of the forest itself.
