fighterSelf-shielding, reduced damage taken, free revives every 30 seconds and debuff immunity all make Sergei hard to kill. Paired with great single target burst damage, this guy can be useful in just about any single target fight and although inferior to heroes such as Wukong, Sergei is still a great DPS and often a better choice when running a chaotic lord.

Before GR-19
Attack, speed and some Crit Chance should be enough to progress past this stage.

GR-19 - GR-21
Sergei is built for his ultimate and has strong base stats with rapid rage generation so can focus more on attack and crit damage.
Warlord

Priority: crit_rate > crit_dmg > atk_flat > spd
After GR-21
With Sergei's rapid rage generation and short ultimate duration, he benefits greatly from Hell's Lament however Cataclysm is comparable with its faction bonuses.
