Hecarim Wild Rift Build & Guide

Phase Rush is a must for Hecarim in Wild Rift, as it gives Movement Speed and Ability Haste, which are essential traits for Hecarim. On the other hand, Fleet Footwork provides a bit of sustainability for its Healing and Mana Regeneration.

Hunter – Vampirism gives Hecarim Omnivamp, which can amplify the healing from Spirit of Dread further. Triumph grants more damage to enemies under 35% HP, and healing for Hecarim on enemy takedowns, rewarding Hecarim in a risky but rewarding play.

Bone Plating for more survivability and endurance when tanking damage. With Adapative Carapace, you will gain more HP, and grant armor or magic resistance while on low health.

Path Finder helps Hecarim to traverse the river with extra Movement Speed for efficient jungle pathing. In contrast, Mastermind provides true damage to jungle monsters for fast jungle clearing.

In our Vladimir Wild Rift Guide, here are his best champion spells that you can equip on him.

Having Ghost is necessary for Hecarim, as he can benefit more from additional Movement Speed. This Spell can also enable Hecarim to have an effective gank because of its mobility.

As a jungler, Smite is also a must-have for Hecarim for a fast jungle clear. Smite enables Hecarim to access Chilling Smite, which slows enemies on cast.

Hecarim in Wild Rift can start by taking Rampage first. This ability can help Hecarim clear jungle monsters quickly by spamming Rampage as much as possible. Also, be careful when spamming this ability, as it can drain his mana quickly. Secondly, you can take Spirit of Dread for sustainability over jungle monsters. This ability can help you stay in the jungle more and set up effective ganks. Thirdly, take Devastating Charge; this gives Hecarim a chance to be in a good position for flanks, ganks, and team fights. His ultimate ability, Onslaught of Shadows, should be maxed out immediately whenever there is a chance to level it up. As for further levels, maxing Rampage first is a must, as Hecarim will use this more often than his other abilities.

Hecarim’s overall abilities are great for early to mid game. After clearing the jungle, look for over-extending enemies that can easily result in a kill after a good gank. Start by casting Devastating Charge on the way to a lane, then use Onslaught of Shadows, which lands behind an enemy enough to make an empowered normal attack from Devastating Charge. This technique is beneficial when ganking any lane. Coordinate with your laners, and you can repeat this process repeatedly. It can lead to a snowball, giving your team an advantage heading into late game. 

Hecarim isn’t a champion that particularly shines in the late game; His abilities are mainly utilized for Crowd Control in the late game, such as isolating an enemy with his ultimate or dividing the enemy team in half with his ultimate. With this in mind, Hecarim must enable his teammate to help finish the game.

For our Vladimir Wild Rift Guide, we highly recommend using him with the following champions as they synergize well with him.

Yuumi has the best synergy with Hecarim considerably since it can increase your movement speed and provide insane healing while also increasing your attack damage and attack speed. Yuumi’s ultimate can also synergize with Hecarim’s great Movement Speed.

Shen’s Ultimate will aid Hecarim with its shield and help him dive into the enemy backlines. After its channeling, Shen can either taunt the enemies, leaving them taunted for a few seconds, giving enough room for your team to react and coordinate for an easy kill, or negate any normal attacks from the enemy.
