1. Offlane/ Sidelane Build

Build for Hylos assigned to the sidelines. This build combines defense and magic damage items, allowing Hylos to hold off enemies trying to take his lane. Hylos can adjust his play depending on the opponent using a hybrid build. An aggressive play is possible with weaker opponents and a more defensive stance against high-damage heroes.

You are a designated side laner
Need additional damage for the team
Want to play aggressively
Want to contribute pokes in team fights
