Gameplay
“They say pain is all in the mind, but they're wrong: It's all in my hands."
The Ecclesiast-King of Elze craved pain — forbidden pain. Such desires might be considered unwise in a less prominent political figure, but in a monarch of his stature, to satisfy such thirsts would have jeopardized the Divine Throne's very virtue. As a result, he turned to his demonologists in his dungeon, promising freedom to anyone who could summon a personal succubus of torment and bind it entirely to his service. The creature who arrived, Akasha, inflicted such exquisite torments on him that he dubbed her his Secret Queen, and he began to spend all his spare moments submitting to her cunning torments, eventually abdicating all his responsibilities in pursuit of the painful pleasures that only she could bring.Queen of Pain had the power to kill him, but she was rune-bound to keep him alive. Finally, the King's neglect of state caused an uprising. He was dragged from his chamber and thrown from the Tower of Invocations, and at the moment of death, Queen of Pain was released into the world, free of servitude—free to inflict her sufferings on anyone who dared to notice.

Tips & Tactics
General
With all of these items in mind, the best way to construct your Queen of Pain is to first understand the items and basic abilities of your and your opponent's teams. Understand. Relate. Improvise, then execute. There is no such thing as 'the perfect build.' There is only one 'ideal build for a specific game.' Consider your own.
