Magic-damage tank who heals off every hit and wins fights by outlasting you
TankEXP LaneDeals magic
Uranus is a magic-damage exp-lane tank whose passive, Radiance, regenerates HP every 0.8s per stack (up to 20 stacks) whenever he takes a hit, turning prolonged trades into a war of attrition he's built to win. Ionic Edge's orbiting blades stack a damage-amp mark on every cast, and Consecration cleanses slows while dumping bonus Radiance stacks into him mid-fight. He rarely burst-kills anyone — he just refuses to die.
Difficulty
Moderate
Specialities
Regen
Getting value means baiting hits before committing, re-stacking Ionic Edge's mark on the same target, and timing Transcendent Ward's shield explosion and Consecration's cleanse rather than just holding the flank.

Strengths
Radiance regenerates HP every 0.8s per stack (up to 20), turning long trades into a fight he wins
Ionic Edge's stacking mark adds up to 320% bonus magic damage against a target he keeps re-hitting
Transcendent Ward's shield explodes for AoE magic damage, adding burst on top of his dash-in
Consecration cleanses every slow on him and refunds HP plus bonus Radiance stacks mid-fight
Weaknesses
Radiance only stacks while he's being hit, so opponents who disengage instead of trading starve his sustain
No hard CC of his own — Ionic Edge and Transcendent Ward only slow, so he can't lock a target down alone
True damage and max-HP-scaling damage shred through the huge HP pool his whole kit is built around
Anti-heal effects that cut HP Regen effectiveness remove Radiance's healing directly, gutting his win condition
Skills
Max Ionic Edge first for its lower cooldown and stacking damage, put one early point in Transcendent Ward for the mobility, then max Transcendent Ward second, taking the ultimate at 4, 8 and 12.
Passive
Radiance
Heal
Uranus absorbs the energy generated by incoming attacks to strengthen himself, regenerating a certain amount of HP every 0.8s. Each stack lasts 10s. When at max stacks (20), Uranus regenerates 48-224 HP (scales with level).

Skill 1
Ionic Edge
AOESlow
Uranus releases two energy blades that orbit around him, dealing 155–255 (+30% Total Magic Power) Magic Damage to enemy targets and slowing them by 30% for 2s. Each time this skill deals damage to a target, they will be marked with stack for 6s (max of 1 stack per target per cast). Each stack increases the damage of this skill by 40% (to a max of 320%). Each energy blade will only deal damage to the same target once.

Uranus charges to the target location, dealing 80–200 (+20% Total Magic Power) Magic Damage to enemies along the way, and 160–400 (+80% Total Magic Power) Magic Damage to enemies at the target location and slowing them by 25%. Uranus also generates a 300–750 (+200% Total Magic Power) shield for 4s. The shield explodes at the end of its duration or when destroyed, dealing 300–750 (+150% Total Magic Power) Magic Damage to enemies nearby.

Signature combo
Ionic Edge → Transcendent Ward into the fight, then re-cast Ionic Edge on the same target to build its damage-amp stack, popping Consecration to cleanse and reset the trade if it turns against you.
Uranus builds
Core items in buy order, with the emblem, talents and battle spell that go with them.
Standard Sustain Tank
6,900g total
Default pick as Uranus's roam or exp tank into a standard mixed-damage draft.
The 'Flicker combo' — blinking in right as a hook or stun lands, or blinking out the instant an enemy ultimate is cast — is the single most common high-elo outplay moment in the game.
Swap in when needed
Dominance Ice — 40/40 Hybrid Defense against poke marksmen like Karrie or Kimmy, and anti-heal on anything trying to out-sustain him.
Cursed Helmet — Adds passive magic damage and HP while he's stuck peeling instead of engaging.
Immortality — Insurance against true damage or max-HP-scaling burst that can outpace Radiance in one hit.
Uranus Standard Sustain Tank build: Tough Boots, then Oracle, then Brute Force Breastplate, then Queen's Wings.
Anti-Burst Magic Tank
6,900g total
Swap in when the enemy has a burst mage or magic assassin diving the backline.
Because the shield is flat and doesn't scale with items, its relative value drops in the late game — it's strongest as a laning-phase and early-mid-game defensive tool.
Swap in when needed
Athena's Shield — Cuts incoming magic damage by roughly 25% for 3s against a single diving burst threat.
Radiant Armor — Stacks magic damage reduction over the fight, better against sustained magic DPS than one burst window.
Antique Cuirass — Against physical skill-combo fighters like Dyrroth or Aulus who punish every engage he makes.
Uranus Anti-Burst Magic Tank build: Magic Shoes, then Concentrated Energy, then Cursed Helmet, then Queen's Wings.
Anti-Physical Lane Tank
6,780g total
Into a physical-damage-heavy exp lane matchup like Dyrroth, Aulus or Alpha.
The 'Flicker combo' — blinking in right as a hook or stun lands, or blinking out the instant an enemy ultimate is cast — is the single most common high-elo outplay moment in the game.
Swap in when needed
Dominance Ice — 40/40 Hybrid Defense and anti-lifesteal pressure against sustain-heavy fighters.
Immortality — A second chance against the true damage that ignores his HP-stacking tankiness.
Queen's Wings — Extra HP, 10% Spell Vamp and a low-HP damage-reduction window for longer duels.
Uranus Anti-Physical Lane Tank build: Warrior Boots, then Brute Force Breastplate, then Antique Cuirass, then Thunder Belt.
Who counters Uranus
The heroes that make this matchup hard, and the mechanic that does it.
Bait basic attacks and pokes before all-inning — every hit taken banks Radiance stacks that pay off once the fight extends
2
Re-cast Ionic Edge on the same target across a fight to build its damage-amp mark toward the 320% cap before committing Transcendent Ward
3
Pop Transcendent Ward's shield into a grouped fight rather than 1v1 — the explosion's AoE magic damage rewards clustered enemies
4
Save Consecration to cleanse a slow that would strip you out of an extended trade, not just for the movement speed
5
Against poke or kite comps, force fights near your own turret or in choke points where enemies can't disengage and deny your Radiance stacks
Uranus — common questions
Is Uranus good for beginners?
Uranus is fairly beginner-friendly — his passive heals him automatically just for taking hits, so a mistimed engage rarely feels punishing, though stacking Ionic Edge's mark and timing Transcendent Ward's shield explosion takes practice to use well.
What is the best build for Uranus?
Tough Boots into Oracle, Brute Force Breastplate and Queen's Wings covers the standard sustain-tank build, shifting into Concentrated Energy and magic defense items against burst magic dive, or Antique Cuirass and Warrior Boots against physical skill-combo lanes.
Which heroes counter Uranus?
Dyrroth, Karrie and Alpha are the hardest counters — all three deal true damage or damage that scales off lost or max HP, which shreds through the huge HP pool Radiance is built around; Aulus can also cleanse Ionic Edge's slow and duel through his sustain.
Does Uranus deal magic or physical damage?
Despite being a Tank, all of Uranus's skill damage — Ionic Edge, Transcendent Ward and their bonus effects — scales off Magic Power, so his build should include some Magic Power or Magic Defense items alongside pure HP.
