Infinite Crisis has shut down.
With its departure, Dawnbase will be going into permanent read-only mode and will remain as both an archive of information about Infinite Crisis, and a reminder of the times we all had with the game.
Hats off to you all. It was a pleasure, ladies and gentlemen.

Hail Protectors!
Why play Robin.... because he is a BEAST especially when it come to escaping from ganks, even from entire teams! If never dying and getting a ton of assists sounds like your kind of role then read on
STOLEN POWERS
Krypto's Healing Wave
I take krypto's healing wave since you should be using this to help your teammates suvive certain situations and since krypto's gives you the most health it will be the most useful
Superman's Super Strength
Definitely not a popular choice BUT for me this will give you a much needed poke which can often lead to a sneaky kill ( Trust me haha ) also you should aim to have this stolen power on cooldown at all times since the extra attack damage comes in handy since you will be building mostly defensive items
MODS AND AUGMENTS
Discounted Nil Cloak and Discounted Lobo's Chain
These 2 mods are so you can start the match with 3 really nice items this will mean you have excellent sustain early game and can tank a few hits from enemy champions (especially annoying poke ones like arrow.... man I hate you arrow)
Empowered Ra's Al Ghul's Robe
This is an amazing item that a lot of players build even without this mod. It will activate upon death and grants you an extra strong shield that the enemy champins will have to break within a certain time otherwise ROBIN ESCAPES AGAIN! Combine this mod with the rest of my items and you will come back from the dead plenty of times plus robin works so well with this item ( more on that later )
How To Play Robin
Q - Vault Kick
Max this first since it is your only source of damage you will want to poke champions with this early on however never forget using this to get across the map faster or to escape enemies is SO useful this is one way Robin is amazing at staying alive. Also use this to knock back enemies who are chasing teammates OR to knock them towards teammates when they are being chased nothing cooler then knocking them into your team then just turning away and letting your team get the kill. BEAST MODE!
W - Bo Master
Max this skill after Q and E since it doesn't really do much more each time it is leveled. This skill should be used when chasing an enemy champion since the slow stops them escaping really nicely. HOWEVER the main draw of this move is that it allows you to use Vault Kick to go through walls, this is amazing as it will allow you to escape ANYONE the distance is huge too! Escape through a wall and then cast Dynamic Duo on yourself and you should outrun any enemy champion with ease
E - Dynamic Duo
Max this skill second as it is important for securing assists. You will want to constantly buff your teammates with Dynamic Duo This can lead to assists from like across the entire map if superman is about to fly into a team fight buff him then you will be rewarded if you have 1 tiny tiny bit of health left buff your teammate before you leave the fight and you will be rewarded keep this in mind as it is one of the perks of playing Robin
R - Emergent Leader
This ultimate is AMAZING at one job .... you guessed it escaping! If the entire team is chasing you perform this then do a quick W Q combo through the wall then E and you have escaped certain death and it feels fantastic haha. Also if your Ra's Al Ghoul's shield goes up use this immediately after it ends as this will knock back anyone who is trying to finish you off allowing you to escape with the W Q E combo WOOOOOOO. Another use is if your teammate is being chased down use this to knock them back but only in desperate situations since Robin's Vault Kick can do this job just fine
Passive - This Guy!
Max this last don't get me wrong it is a great source of damage ESPECIALLY early on but you wont be needing too much damage since you will be tanking hits most of the time not killing enemy champions
What Items To Buy and In What Order
Start every match with Nil Cloak, Tier 1 Lobo's Chain and 2 Modular Health Vials
After this if the match is going well save up and buy tier 2 of Ra's Al Ghoul's Cloak this will mean being poked to death whilst inside your turret (most early deaths in crisis matches) won't matter at all
Then take a look at the enemy teams champions, if 3 or more are building attack damage build tier 3 of Fragment Of Mogo ALSO use the active ability on this in all team fights it's cool down isn't bad and will stay on even during your Ra's Al Ghoul shield activation which leads to a ton of damage
If 3 or more are building energy damage build tier 3 of Entropy Aigis Whichever one you build first build the other one after it these two are like twins just one is attack defense and one is energy defense
However if the entire team builds attack damage (it can happen sometimes) build Tier 4 Suit Of Sorrows, If they all build energy build Tier 4 Mirror Master's Prism
Late game finish off Lobo's Chain for more health and a little attack then if it is a really long game you can sell your Modular Health Vials and build either a damage item or another health item. Personally for attack I build Velocity 9 Implants since Robin will mostly be hitting enemy champions with basic attacks plus the extra movement speed helps you escape even more
For extra health I like Booster Gold's Power Suit since it will let you Tank hits from the turrets late game and your teammates can dive in on enemy champions or just take out the turrets
THANKS
Thank you for reading and thanks to DekuCell for playing like 3 million matches with me as Robin to help me fall in love with this champion . Robin really is my fave character and I hope you enjoy getting assists for days and escaping any threat as much as I do
