The most common order. Games count if they followed it for as long as they lasted, from 10 points on. Gold numbers: the levels where an ultimate point or a talent usually comes. T: a talent is taken here; the tree shows which.
This build has too few games for its own order, so this is the hero's most common order at this rank and position.
Talents
Numbers from all the hero's games at this rank and position: this build has under 30 games on a side. Under each talent: how often it is picked, win rate, games. ★ the higher win rate we are 95% sure of, with at least 30 games on each side. Bar: how often each side is picked.
