Scorching FireFox Delphox - Sphinx10

Guide

Boost Emblems : 6 Green | 7 Black
(+CDR +SpAtk +Movement Speed -Atk -Crit)

CDR : Agg 25% (Lv 9-13 with Blue Buff)
Base 25% (Lv 13+)
Don't forget to take Blue Buff after hitting Lv 9 and make sure you have it at all times thereon after. This Build is ideally suited for Bottom Lane on Theia Sky Ruins Map. Can be run in the Jungle sub-optimally but perhaps there are better builds for that. In that case, replace Choice Specs with Energy Amp (offensive)/Buddy barrier(defensive) as alternatives. In general call Bot Lane at the selection screen with this build and stick to it.

Held Items Choice :
• Choice Specs for last hitting and out-securing neutral farm in lane. Remember it has cd of 8s and so you have to stay out of using your moves for 8s to guarantee a proc.
• Slick Spoon is fundamentally great across any of the Mage characters without any cons. So it must be prioritised before other items.
• The third held Item Slot is open for personal customisation. I prefer Wise Glasses to be a potent consistent threat for last hitting key objectives like Rayquaza in the end-game. As Sp Atk. Specs adds a lot of variability to the burst damage on Fire Blast during Ray secure.
Other Viable Alternatives :
• Sp Atk. Specs because Flame Charge Delphox (with Eject) has insane mobility and can easily full stack by the mid-game. And the net +SpA after fully stacked Specs heavily outshines the 7% bonus from Wise Glasses. Just remember you won't be able to rely on farming consistently early-mid game becoz of stacking concerns.
2s - Lv 6 | 3s - Lv 10 | 4s - Lv 13 | 5s - Lv 15
• Can also run Energy Amp for this 3rd slot but heavily nerfs your early-mid game in lane and doesn't have insane value on Flame Charge Phox becoz enemies dash out of your Unite and you don't have Fire Spin to keep them inside the AOE damage.
• Buddy Barrier is the best survivability item on Delphox as it provides instant 25% max HP shield (for 5s) coupled with Unite Shield gives you net 45% max HP shield which is great for turning around team fights. Only con is not much utility early game apart from passive +450 HP. You can opt for this if you prefer more sustain but the idea with Flame charge (+Eject) is to position effectively at all times.
• In comparison Focus Band and Shell Bell is not good enough for squishy attacker like Delphox to survive high burst damage combos targeted at it. Also Buddy Barrier observes great frequency and procs everytime (due to 30s internal cooldown) on Fox as it can charge its Unite quite frequently (around 35-40s) if you farm, KO enemies, score etc constantly after Lv 9.
• Curse Incense is also sub optimal on this build due to high cooldown of FireBlast and no cc on Flame Charge. There are other Delphox movesets where it gains immense value due to much more frequent procs.
