• Rod of Ages is recommended over Archangel's Staff because Q spam would heal Hecarim and damage taken would generate mana.³
• Titan's Resolve is strong when the opposing team has one or more tanks; a full-tank build lets Hecarim move around the enemy team.⁴
• Build a lot of ability haste; builds with a lot of haste are effective for Hecarim.⁵⁶
• A full-stat build uses a lot of attack damage and lethality and depends on having more stats than the enemy; an early Fortune Shard can help.⁷
• Gamblers Blade pairs with Hecarim's Q and W to generate extra gold; an early-game carry can help turn that gold into a win.⁸

• Endless Hunger and With Haste can loop conversions for Hecarim: attack damage converts to ability haste, ability haste to movement speed, and movement speed to attack damage.⁹
• Hecarim's E procs Desecrator three times.¹⁰
• Hecarim with Mystic Punch or Moonflair Spellblade can trigger Ethereal Weapon; leveling up Ethereal Weapon can also cause a double proc.¹¹
• Hecarim can benefit from augments such as Critical Healing, Ethereal Weapon and With Haste, and prismatic items such as Moonflair and Goredrinker.¹²
• Hecarim uses prismatic items better than most champions; an attack-damage build relies on having more stats than the enemy.⁷
• A high-omnivamp, high-attack-damage build with Gamblers Blade can make Hecarim difficult to kill.¹³
• Moonflair, Runecarver, Rite of Ruin and Rod of Ages are strong item options for Hecarim, and escAPADe is a strong augment option.¹⁴
• With Rabble Rousing and Moonflair Spellblade, casting Q and then attacking can reset Q when Hecarim has over 120 ability haste.¹⁵
• Ethereal Weapon at level 2 with Moonflair Spellblade lets Hecarim spam Q without attacking.¹⁵
• With Jeweled Gauntlet, Critical Healing and Rite of Ruin in a full-AP build, Hecarim's W can heal a large portion of his health.¹⁵
