Best stand alone ap damage item?

GoochFlap··1 votes·3,340 views

I was wondering if every champion would build one damage item what would it be? for AD champions I'd think it'd be black cleaver/triforce because those are typical bruiser items, but what gives ap champions the most damage out of one single item?

I think item 3165 is the most well-rounded AP item we have by far — 20% CDR, 100 AP, 400 mana, restores 20% of maximum mana on kill/assist, applies grievous wounds to champions below 35% HP for 8 seconds.

item 3151 probably provides the most damage as a lone AP item. item 3165 is the most well-rounded core item for AP champions.

item 3135 can give a huge increase in dmg if the enemy has > 70 MR.

item 3151 Good for squshys, burn for tanks. Health since you're probably going take with just 1 item and make tank. item 3135 Isn't as good against ranged champs that dont make any mr for you. item 3001 If you have good base damage + tank stats

Katarina item 3151 item 3020 item 3068 item 3065 Like thats gonna hurt lol

item 3285 item 3089 item 3165 don't scale alone. They aren't too hot alone on top of taking into consideration you're probably making tank. Level 18 when people have magic resis/health and you have more base damage, item 3151 item 3135item 3001 will all do more than item 3285 item 3089 item 3165 alone.

yeah i thought the best would be liandrys too. but i see that as more of an equivalent to triforce because it has flat pen, so it'sreally good against squishies. what would be the ap equivalent to black cleaver?

Either item 3165 or item 3135 . item 3071 is basically the combination of the two lol item 3135 item 3165 Depends if you get more from the cooldown than you do from the MPEN. If your goal is to do damage, then you'd get item 3151. If you have utility, then you'd want item 3165 or item 3001 . You can get CDR from other sources since you're probably going to make tank or item 3107 item 3190 . So item 3001 >item 3165 . If you're a AP support, then item 2301 is basically mini-item 3165 .

Morello or lumens echo. Also for ad I think blade of the ruined king is better than tri force or bc

Most ad champions don't benefit very much from the extra health, and only casters benefit much from the sheen proc on tri force. Also, the itemization for both doesn't give the early game stats you need. Phage is great, but 800 gold for 200 health/cdr isn't what you need early. The 1100 gold for atack speed on tri force hurts too. Blade gives the ad you need, the attack speed you need, and life steal for better laning. The passive helps a lot against tanks, and the active helps kiting while providing that bit of burst you might need. Blade is also over 400 gold cheaper than tri force, which is a first blood amount (and we all know how much that helps)

but the only time i would build triforce or bork over black cleaver is when the enemy team is all squishy, in which case i would think triforce would be better because they would have low health, although the price is good justification and bork has lifesteal, ad, and attack speed over triforce
