Locke Build
the Ashen Exorcist
A nail-slinging exorcist versed in forbidden rites, Corvin Locke is the progeny of Demacian occultists. Born into lies and hypocrisy, he learned young that demons aren't the cause of humanity's darkness, but the consequence. Now, Locke tears through every soul, exposing its darkness, intent on making the world a more honest place… one exorcism at a time.
The most played Locke Jungle build on patch 26.21 runs Dark Harvest with Sudden Impact, Sixth Sense and Treasure Hunter, plus Legend: Haste and Triumph from the secondary tree. Take Smite and Flash. Start with Scorchclaw Pup and Health Potion, then build Lich Bane, Sorcerer's Shoes and Shadowflame, followed by Zhonya's Hourglass, Rabadon's Deathcap and Void Staff. Max Q (Ritual Nails) first, then E (Ashen Pursuit), then W (Soul Ignition). It has a 45.0% win rate and a 0.8% pick rate.
