Recommended Builds
When the enemy draft brings two or more magic damage heroes.
Both builds share the first four items and reach 7,090G before they split. Ominous Premonition comes fifth for 300 physical defense and 1,200 max HP, and it cuts an attacker's attack speed by up to 40% when Lam takes damage. Demonsbane closes the build with 150 magic defense, then a passive that adds 50% of Lam's physical attack on top, capped at 250. Totals land at +250 magic defense and +2,300 max HP, 150 and 900 above build 2.
When the enemy draft is light on magic damage and you plan to brawl and finish wounded targets.
Cuirass of Savagery takes the fifth slot: every hit taken raises Lam's damage by 1% and lifts movement speed for 3 seconds, and hero damage counts double, up to ten stacks. Overlord's Might closes at 2,540G, the priciest item across the two builds, and adds 30% damage against enemies below half HP. Totals reach +478 physical attack with 32.5% cooldown reduction, 95 attack above build 1 and 900 max HP below it.
This is what the Popular tab of the in-game Recommended Loadout screen showed on 2026-08-28. The number on each arcana is how many of the 30 slots it fills; each colour adds up to 10. The game also shows a rank and a win rate, but those shift from day to day, so they are not reproduced here.
Strategy Guide
An execution specialist: enemies below 30% Health are marked as Prey and take bonus true damage from his skills and Basic Attacks. He closes the gap on the +40 Movement Speed of Submerge mode and finishes wounded targets one by one — he has almost no tools for a fair fight.
Best for: players who read health bars before they read fights, surfacing from Submerge the moment a target drops under 30% and never taking a fair duel.
Cast from underwater, Skill 3 hauls everyone in its path all the way to the dash destination. Deliver the target into your team, bank marks with Skill 2, then spend them on Basic Attacks for dashing follow-ups. Half of Skill 1's cooldown comes back, so even a miss leaves you a way out.
Marks come one from the cast and one more for each different enemy struck, capped at three. A Basic Attack spends one to dash in for 70 at Lvl 1 plus 75% of physical attack while restoring 100 Health. Each follow-up trims 10-20% off Skill 2's cooldown, which keeps the loop turning through a brawl, and enemies below 30% Health take extra true damage on top.
The dive lasts 3s and returns 50% of Skill 1's cooldown when it ends. Use the speed to open the gap, then dash past the terrain with the submerged version of Skill 2. That dash shaves another 25% off Skill 1, so the next dive is never far away.
These combos are not official data. They are this site's own write-up, built only from the skill data transcribed from the in-game display; nothing that the skill text does not state is included.
- True damage below 30% HP means chipped targets never escape
- Chained dashes from dive mode and mark chases make him hard to pin down
- Skill 2's on-hit healing keeps him brawling on the frontline
- The dive-mode Ultimate hauls enemies to the dash endpoint — a premier catch
- Missing the Ultimate strands him alone in the middle of the enemy team
- Hard crowd control breaks the dash chain and his thin frame melts fast
- Managing dive mode, marks, and empowered attacks at once demands high APM
As a jungler, Lam's first goal is using Skill 1's dive mode (+40 movement speed) to cut travel time between camps and secure level 4 plus the Ultimate before the 4-minute Tyrant spawns. The on-hit healing from Skill 2 keeps your HP topped up mid-clear, so you can often full-clear without recalling. Pick gank targets around the Passive: enemies below 30% HP take bonus true damage, so hit lanes where the enemy is already chipped. Train your eyes on that 30% line on every health bar — the number of kills you convert changes visibly.
Mid-game Lam owns the river. Use dive mode's speed to slip into the enemy jungle and drag isolated targets to the dash endpoint with the Ultimate, delivering them into your team's arms. Cast during dive mode, the Ultimate hauls every enemy along its path, so the dream opening at objectives is abducting the enemy jungler before the fight starts. Around 10 minutes, with two physical core items done, the mark-chase combo alone chips squishy enemies to 30% HP — then the Passive's true damage zone finishes the job.
The late game is an exercise in patience. Lam is not a first-engage piece; he's a finisher who slips into the backline seconds after enemy targeted crowd control and attention lock onto your frontline. Stack marks with Skill 2, weave the empowered basic attack's dash and healing, and execute enemies in order as they cross below 30% HP. Resetting after each kill matters too — whether you can ride out cooldowns in dive mode is the difference between life and death. In Overlord standoffs, keep showing the enemy marksman the threat of a dive-mode Ultimate abduction.
Lam's teamfight motto: enter second, outlast everyone. Circle the perimeter in dive mode at the start, and the moment enemy crowd control is spent, drag out their squishiest member with the Ultimate. From there, cycle Skill 2 into empowered basic attack dashes, healing through the on-hit sustain while you execute targets one at a time. The Passive works harder as health bars drop across the fight, so simply surviving the early chaos is itself a damage steroid. If chasing deep means ending up 1v3, dive out and wait for the next victim instead — that composure defines good Lam play.
Counters & Synergies
Countered-by and synergy picks are this site's own reading, based on each hero's kit. What the official app publishes is how often heroes are picked together (see "Frequently Paired With" below); it does not publish any rating of how well they match up.
Frequently Paired With
The figures are the "match rate" published by the official in-game HoK Camp: how often these heroes ended up on the same team (fetched 2026-08-14). It is not a win rate, so a higher number does not mean a stronger pairing.
