Predecessor Scarlett Build: Core Items and Duel Tips

Scarlett Offlane Build: Patch 1.17 Core

Scarlett needs enough energy to keep fighting when an opponent survives her opening attacks. This Predecessor Scarlett build starts with the Patch 1.17 offlane core of Solaris, Manta Scythe, and Infernum, paired with Warrior Crest and Volcaic Slam. Build around that setup, then focus on the spacing and resource management that keep her combat rhythm going.

Scarlett is an advanced melee duelist with both Offlane and Jungle roles. The setup here focuses on offlane.

Build component	Patch 1.17 selection
Crest	Warrior Crest
Augment	Volcaic Slam
Core item	Solaris
Core item	Manta Scythe
Core item	Infernum

Use these three items as your core shopping reference. Adjust your remaining purchases to the match rather than committing every slot before you see which enemies are becoming dangerous.

Scarlett’s Patch 1.17 performance sits at a 50.46% win rate across 9735 games, with a 20.53% pick rate and an A-tier rating. Those numbers give the setup useful context, but landing her attacks and preserving energy still matter in every duel.

Land Ashen Vow and Preserve Your Dash

Scarlett’s Patch 1.16 ability interactions reward careful positioning. Ashen Vow has an inner area and an outer edge, and connecting with that outer edge enables its stronger follow-up attack. The inner hit slows the target.

Aim the outer edge deliberately. Running directly into your opponent can make that spacing harder to maintain, especially when both of you are moving around a minion wave.

Her dash also provides a shield without requiring an enemy hit, with a larger shield when it connects with more enemies. Save it when you need protection or a way to disengage. Spending it only to close distance can leave you without that defensive option when the trade turns.

Her spinning alternate attack delivers three hits and serves as a frequent part of her fighting rhythm. Weave basic attacks between ability uses instead of immediately pressing every available button.

Swan Song enhances her abilities and extends her basic attack range. For a committed duel, activate it before the abilities you want to enhance, then position for Ashen Vow’s outer edge. Keep your dash available if the opponent still has a threatening response.

Manage Energy Before Extending a Fight

Scarlett uses energy, and her Patch 1.16 kit has a 200-energy pool. Repeated ability use can drain that pool quickly.

Basic attacks help replenish her energy. Keep attacking between casts, and check your resource bar before chasing an enemy beyond the initial trade. An opponent within reach is only a useful target if you can still afford the abilities needed to finish the fight.

Her Patch 1.16 buff interactions also provide resource support:

• Cyan buff instantly restores 25% of maximum energy.
• Blue buff provides +5 energy regeneration.

Use those opportunities to support continued fighting, but preserve your energy during the exchange itself.

Bonus mana also has an offensive conversion in her Patch 1.16 passive: 35 bonus mana becomes 1 physical power. Avoid choosing an item solely to increase that conversion. Evaluate the rest of its benefits before giving it a slot.

Matchups That Deserve Extra Attention

Scarlett’s Patch 1.17 matchup figures include 45.84% against Aurora, 55.57% against Countess, and 56.21% against Terra. Across the wider roster, Drongo appears at 45.59%, while Narbash appears at 46.32%.

Use those percentages to set expectations rather than decide a fight before it starts. Against a difficult opponent, prioritize clean Ashen Vow spacing and preserve your shield dash. Against a favorable opponent, keep the same discipline instead of spending all your energy to force an early finish.

For team composition, Scarlett’s Patch 1.17 duo synergy figures include 58.95% with Yin, 57.18% with Rampage, and 57.08% with Khaimera. These pairings are worth considering when coordinating picks with a teammate; they do not replace managing your own engagements.

Keep Patch Versions Separate

The core above belongs to Patch 1.17, while the ability and energy details discussed here describe her Patch 1.16 kit. Keep those versions in mind when comparing this setup with Frostbite builds.
