Q3: Is Dyrroth still viable in current meta?

Yes, especially against squishy mages or marksmen. He thrives in quick duels.

Q4: Can I use Rapid Boots on Dyrroth?

Not recommended in this matchup — he needs Tough or Warrior Boots for the stat advantage.

Mage Emblem with Magic Pen and Movement Speed options are ideal.

Without any items, Dyrroth clearly dominates the duel with over 3000 base skill damage and natural healing from his passive.

  • Dyrroth still has the edge in raw dive power and regen, especially if he lands Abyss Enhanced Skill 2 and Ult together.

In short:

Early game — Dyrroth wins Late game with full items — Skill match, but Dyrroth still slightly leads if he gets close
