Tired of having a non-efficient Inara? Well, time for you to learn it then! This guide will get you up to date with what to build and play to become an annoying pest almost no one can deal with!

Notes

Inara is a great threat when it comes to point control. She can hide behind her Impasse when attacked to assure full healing and can apply pressure in several ways with the combination of Earthen Guard and Warder's Field. This build is designed for one purpose: Run to the point and let your team worry about the fights. Inara is especially strong at Front Line vs Front Line match ups, being able to out-sustain and out-damage most Front Lines which essentially means your Damage teammates don't have to hassle with any of them.

The Items chosen are in order of importance. The last one is a bit of a wildcard though. Wrecker should only be bought given that the enemies have a Torvald, Fernando, Barik or Ash. But the important part is to guarantee even more anti-point control even if you are by yourself.

Alternative Items:
Chronos (3rd item if so)
Bulldozer (Imani, Barik, Inara (if playing Casual queue))

Notes

Inara is pretty much the Anti-Flank while Talus for an example is an Anti-Tank. She has no issues with controlling the field as her Warder's Field together with Earthen Guard allows her to take fights with even the strongest of Flanks.

Notes

As strong as Inara may be, any kind of heavy burst damage WILL shut her down fast. Be very careful around Willo especially as she can counter your assured heals by hiding behind Impasse by using her Dead Zone.

Íf you're asking yourself: "Does this draft work with Inara?"

You're not a superstar, but you are THE enabler of the team when playing Inara. Act, think and THROW YOURSELF ONTO THE POINT. -WuffieGG
