Smolder MID 26.10 Update 100K DMG 550 stacks in 36 min.
During leveling of new acc I was testing a different build that consists of Shojin rush into EH into BC and it feels incredibly strong. With this build I dropped Unsealed spellbook completely partly because of introduction of new Omnivamp boots. Having Dorans blade + Cull + Refill + Omnivamp boots is really hard to get smolder out of lane. With Shojin and EH you stack incredibly fast and on top of it having huge sustain. The only reason to base is if I need mana(which is rare) or base to spend some gold or Rotate to side to cover waves.
Before I was rushing BC into Shojin, but I find Phage component is really terrible to buy, but kindle gem early on is great on other hand. Usually, I get 4 stacks of shojin from the wave and I start to trade and it's very often a good trade.
I change secondary runes depending on the matchup like against fizz or talon (boneplating is very good)
During this game I had 550 stacks at 35 min. This explains the damage probably.
