Hello everyone, I am Game Brother Xiao.
Last week, King adjusted a piece of equipment, the Furious Dragon Sword and Shield, changing its passive effect from being triggered only by basic attacks to being triggered by both basic attacks and skills. This seemingly minor change instantly made the item extremely popular, especially for jungle players, turning it into the "Blazing Dominator" for junglers. Heroes like Cao Cao, Yang Jian, and Yao are very compatible with this item when jungling.
The Furious Dragon Sword and Shield used to be a jungle knife but was later removed and turned into a defensive equipment. It currently provides 1350 health, 180 physical defense, and 90 magical defense. Its passive "Severe Wound" deals extra damage to monsters and minions while restoring 50% of the damage dealt as health. The passive "Divine Power" deals physical damage to heroes and towers. Both passives have their effects halved when triggered by ranged attacks.
Previously, the Furious Dragon Sword and Shield had a somewhat odd design: its passive only triggered on basic attacks, but ranged heroes who rely heavily on basic attacks had their effects halved. This limited the item’s usability to very few heroes. Now that both basic attacks and skills can trigger the passives, its applicability has greatly expanded, making it much more effective for warrior-type junglers.
First, the dual resistances of the Furious Dragon Sword and Shield perfectly meet the semi-tank needs of warrior junglers. Compared to items like Ice Fang, it provides better durability since few items offer dual resistances; most only provide a single type of resistance.
Secondly, the "Severe Wound" passive significantly speeds up warrior jungling. Generally, warriors clear jungle camps slower than assassins, but with the extra damage from "Severe Wound," clearing camps or laning becomes faster, accelerating growth. Additionally, the health restoration helps sustain continuous fighting. Heroes like Yao and Miyamoto Musashi, who lack natural sustain, can reduce their recall frequency and maintain momentum.
Then, the "Divine Power" passive speaks for itself. It transforms this originally defense-oriented item into one that balances both offense and defense. The damage it delivers is considerable, and since most warrior junglers also build other physical damage items, this item synergizes very well.
Of course, besides jungling, it can also be considered for the top lane, especially for top laners who lack sustain. The attributes provided by the Furious Dragon Sword and Shield are quite beneficial, so give it a try!
