This tune was created before we had skill priorities and is no longer recommended, though still functional.  Stun targeting is very difficult, however, utilizing the same system used for the Budget Maneater Unkillable teams.  It’s advised to read up on those builds to help.  To use this team correctly, prioritize Sir Nic’s a2 then his a3.

• ALL SPEEDS LISTED ARE TRUE SPEEDS.
• Speeds listed exclude any speed aura.  Speed Auras can be used to lower the BUILD SPEEDS.
• Use the calculator to check speeds and take into account any Area Bonuses your account may have.
• Make sure to prioritize all the skills in the Team Setup.

Speed Ranges:

As with nearly every Speed Tune, there are more speeds that will work than are listed, but these are the ones tested that work best and most consistently for the approved difficulties and affinities.  Generally changing the speeds of one champion can change the speeds needed of other champions.  Feel free to play around in the calculator to find what works best for your team.  There are wider ranges and alternative speeds for just one difficulty. 

• • 239-241 – Painkeeper
  • 228-238 – Stun Target ( Taurus )
  • 188 – DPS / Cleanser ( Affinity Debuff )

Advanced Notes:

• Sir Nicholas’ A2 must be set as 1st choice in AI Setup
• Stun targeting is always an issue, so avoid Lifedrinker mastery on your stun target. Champions like Bad-el-Kazar can provide too much healing and should be carefully considered before using.
• Using Rust’s Stun Calculator can certainly help in setting it up, however it’s only an approximation, not exact.
