Good mana sustain, good damage, terrible CS'ing but oh well lmao. Absolutely love it.
start works great
Usual build: 
or 
Never made it past that far in the game though. Would go for 
and maybe 
if the game would last long enough.
PrinceOfStorms1 votesLichbane is better than Rylai's and Void Staff is better than Liandry's here. Eve is a burst assassin and so doesn't need the slow or burn from either Rylai's or Liandry's.
OyddAWqJ5r1 votesDepends on how you're playing her. Honestly I find Lich Bane to be a very niche item choice. It all depends on whether or not you can get in and half the time the most you can really do is Q and R which is all you need sometimes.
Just the little 200 or so AP from this build alone is enough to burst a squishy, you don't need much more so might as well spec into survivability.
That's my experience anyway, there's just a point where I feel I don't need any more damage.
Also Rylais helps your team catch up, because half the time you aren't gonna be able to pull off the job alone. The charm isn't super reliable to land so having Rylais definitely helps especially when charm is on CD.
That and in top lane Rylais tends to dick on a few melees.
Also why I don't take Sorc Shoes, just don't need em.
I tried out Lich and Ludens, both seemed to not help that much in burst.
In any case, you build items for 2 reasons: to enhance your strengths or compensate your weaknesses. In this case I'm shooting for the latter.
PrinceOfStorms1 votesI've played Eve jungle (maybe that's where the difference is coming from) but my experience with her is basically that once you blow your combo (WQEQQQ) you're kinda sitting there with nothing besides your ult up (since Q has a 4s CD with 40% CDR at max rank), so you want to maximize the damage that you do in that burst. Liandry's and Rylai's feel bad because you're cramming your abilities into a short window rather than spreading them out like the better abusers of the item do. Since you're not really spamming abilities or using dots like other mages, I've found the increased mpen to be more useful against tanks too, since E does %max. The pattern that I follow for dueling tankier champions is to go for the charm, then QEQQQ them, then walk out with the MS steroid from E, using R if it will secure the kill, or to escape if I'm about to die.
OyddAWqJ5r1 votesI spread out the Q's if I'm trying to utilize Rylais. Q works like RIvens, the timer starts the moment you cast it. The hate spikes don't affect the CD.
But yeah played jungle and you def want max damage for those early ganks. Past that though I still think Rylais is a good option.
Same reason you buy it on Elise minus the long range Q.
And you don't usually have to worry too much about killing in one go with max damage. Most of the time you just do that regardless, the rest of the time you go in, get out and go in again after healing.
All about playstyles IMO. I def see the satisfaction tied to maximum damage bursts and near 100% health restores when you can pull it off.
