Build variants
Dun build variants by matchup
Use the recommended six-item build as the baseline, then adjust the last slots for frontline pressure, burst windows, or survival.
Safe default
Core path
Spikemail -> Succubus Cloak -> Blazing Cape -> Boots of Resistance -> Sage's Sanctuary -> Destiny
Start here for Dun's main damage or survival curve, then change the last 1-2 slots by draft.
Anti-tank
Core path
Spikemail -> Succubus Cloak -> Blazing Cape
Into multiple frontliners, your job is usually to survive for the second control cycle and give carries enough time to shred tanks.
Burst
Core path
Spikemail -> Succubus Cloak -> Blazing Cape
If your team lacks engage, build so the first entry creates a real damage window for your carries.
Survival
Core path
Spikemail -> Succubus Cloak -> Blazing Cape
Against burst, match armor or magic resistance to the actual enemy carry instead of following one fixed tank path.
Best Arcana & Spells
| Slot | Choice | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Primary | Fate | Recommended for Tank Clash Lane |
| Spell | Execute | Adjust Purify/Execute based on enemy dive. |
