In-game Guides[]

Interface02guide

The Guides window.

Guides (sometimes also called Hero Builds) are guides created by players, that can suggest items and highlight abilities to level. They can be created and shared by players either in-game or through the Hero Builds Editor.

"Hero Builds Editor" has been out of order, probably since 2014.
