Item Build

Starting Items

you start with 475g
Brawler's GlovesHealth PotionHealth Potion

You want to build Avarice Blade early into Statikks, unless you get to base on 1600g (go for IE then) or get chunked continously (go Vamp Scepter then)

Core Items

Statikk ShivInfinity EdgeThe BloodthirsterLast Whisper

The order in which you build these items depends on the situation. Statikks has the best build path by far, so it's your go to first item, but if the situation allows for an early IE or BT then you get a phantom dancer later instead of Statikks.

Situational Items

Guardian AngelMaw of MalmortiusMercurial ScimitarPhantom Dancer

Guardian Angel is your fifth item in most games.

QSS (Mercurial) against WW, Malzahar and Nasus is a must buy.

Maw against very heavy magic damage teams (please note that a lot of champs deal way more magic damage than you're used to in modern league, e.g. Sivir Q is magic damage and a WW with FF and Wits End is going to deal 70% magic damage too).

You can sell boots for PD and even your Statikks for a second PD, but those shouldn't be common occurrences.

What's there to say?

You're an ADC with tremendous scaling, as you have 703 range and a 90% AS steroid late game. It's up to you to get there.
