QUICK OVERVIEW
This build is fun to play and fires up early. Once you hit level 5, you're ready to gank. Use Drill Peck to push enemies back, so you and your allies can puncture their carcasses.
I used this build to reach master rank during season 9. Below, I will explain my move, item, and emblem choices, along with some general information about running the build.
DODRIO SPECIFIC MECHANICS
There's two Dodrio-specific mechanics we should discuss: 1. Dodrio scores in thirds and 2. Dodrio has a sprint gauge.
Scoring in thirds means you can score more frequently, but when a goal is about to be destroyed, you might not get to score all your aeos energy. Keep that in mind, especially toward the end of the game when you're looking for a goal to score on.
Unless there is a tactical reason, you should always be moving! Your sprint gauge charges when you move. Having a full sprint gauge means you move faster, and some moves (such as Drill Peck and your basic attack) will be more powerful.
MOVES
Drill Peck - Super satisfying to use, it does a lot of damage, and it can be used to displace enemies (when your sprint gauge is full).
Jump Kick - Can be used to deal damage, escape enemies, and reduce the cooldown time for your other moves. It's highly functional with a short cooldown time, which is why it was chosen over Agility.
HELD ITEMS
Muscle Band - Not much to say here. Muscle Band increases your damage output, which you'll appreciate when you're polishing enemies off.
Float Stone - Allows you to traverse the map with ease, rush in to save teammates, capture objectives, and pounce on your next meal.
Razor Claw - You'll be happy you chose this item when an enemy is trying to run away from you. It’s unlikely they’ll escape.
