How can I build Saryn for more survivability without losing damage?

-

I’ve been playing for about two months now and I’m still getting the hang of build crafting. My main focus is Saryn, and I really love her damage potential and nuke ability. However, I find her to be quite squishy. I’m looking for advice on how to boost her survivability without sacrificing too much damage. I’ve heard about shield gating and how it can help, but I’m not entirely sure how it works. Any tips or a solid build recommendation would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, everyone!

I found that using Adaptation is great for damage mitigation. When you couple it with a bit of health regen and make good use of Molt, you should be set. For shield gating, you can pair Brief Respite (gaining shields when using abilities) with Catalyzing Shields for a longer shield-gate duration. Just remember, casting Miasma after shield break will restore your shields completely, but it’s quite energy-intensive. If survival is still an issue, consider using Vazarin’s Protective Sling instead! Also, don’t neglect movement—keeping Saryn agile helps a ton!

Interesting point! I didn’t realize having higher strength could backfire with spores. Thanks!

Check out this build I found; it balances survival and damage really well! Use shield gating for extra durability by incorporating Arcane Energize and Aegis. This combo provides nice support while you unleash Saryn’s devastating abilities! You’ll definitely feel more robust without sacrificing damage.

Thanks for the suggestion!

Saryn is an absolute powerhouse! Try this build:
– Corrosive Projection
– Primed Sure Footed (or Sure Footed)
– Narrow Minded
– Always use Venom Dose (it’s a must!)
– Precision Intensify or Umbral/Intensify
– Fast Deflection
– Vigilante Vigor
– Redirection (Primed if you have it)
– Blind Rage
– Prime Continuity (you can use regular for now)

This method doesn’t rely on shield gating and focuses on a friendly survival with shield regeneration instead. If you have any questions about it, just ask!
