On each page above — a "Build" section, which says at what minute to grab the slot and in what order.

How to answer

If the opponent built this slot, these approaches reduce the effect:

• Disjoint mechanic (Manta, Eul) — drops a targeted cast before it lands.
• Magic resist (Pipe, Hood, Eternal Shroud) — reduces magic damage.
• Beat it on timing — build it before the opponent, take the first-move advantage.
• Lobby check — watch net worth, predict when the build completes.

Usage tips

• Timing matters more than the item. Close the slot before minute 25 — after that the potential is lost.
• Hotkey: a fast bind through the inventory. Automated via Item Auto-Use.
• Recharge: account for it in the push phase — cooldown 105 seconds.
• Build path: components first, then the recipe. Changing the order is not worth it — you lose the bonus of each fragment.
