Fiddlesticks Build
the Ancient Fear
Something has awoken in Runeterra. Something ancient. Something terrible. The ageless horror known as Fiddlesticks stalks the edges of mortal society, drawn to areas thick with paranoia where it feeds upon terrorized victims. Wielding a jagged scythe, the haggard, makeshift creature reaps fear itself, shattering the minds of those unlucky enough to survive in its wake. Beware the sounding of the crow, or the whispering of the shape that appears <i>almost</i> human… Fiddlesticks has returned.
The most played Fiddlesticks Jungle build on patch 26.21 runs Electrocute with Cheap Shot, Grisly Mementos and Ultimate Hunter, plus Axiom Arcanist and Transcendence from the secondary tree. Take Smite and Flash. Start with Gustwalker Hatchling, then build Malignance, Sorcerer's Shoes and Zhonya's Hourglass, followed by Shadowflame, Rabadon's Deathcap and Void Staff. Max W (Bountiful Harvest) first, then Q (Terrify), then E (Reap). It has a 50.9% win rate and a 2.1% pick rate.
