Maiev Shadowsong Build & Deck
Build Explanation
The inclusion of the S.A.F.E., Worgen, and Whelp Egg in the top three slots is absolutely necessary and non-negotiable. Additionally, the Cycle slot holds significant importance and should feature two high-quality Unbound units, such as the Quilboar. A dedicated Fast slot should be allocated for the Harpies.
In this particular build, the Smoke Bomb serves a dual purpose. It not only synergizes with Maiev but also forms a potent combo with the Worgen, enhancing single-target bursts. It’s important to note that the Worgen possesses a significantly faster attack speed than Maiev. Thus, precise timing is crucial when deploying the Smoke Bomb alongside the Worgen.
Without proper coordination, there is a risk of wasting the Smoke Bomb if the Worgen attacks and reveals itself just as it is deployed. However, with practice and careful timing, if you manage to cover both the Worgen and Maiev simultaneously, you will maximize the benefits derived from the Smoke Bomb.
