PSA for Assassin players running Deathfire Touch

The Cunning tree was made especially for you (especially if you are an AP assassin). I don't pretend to know what the best build or strategy is 100% of the time, but I place a lot of value on trying out multiple builds and strategies before settling on the one that works for you. I thoroughly recommend you try some of the following champs with a different keystone:

Stormraider's Surge:

Thunderlord's Decree:

Fervor of Battle:

Thank you for your consideration.

I think Thunderlords Decree is the best for most assassins, especially Zed is pretty strong again because of it (hes probably gonna get overbuffed hard next patch summoner 30 ), it also helps Ekko a lot and Ive seen a Rengar carry my ass with Thunderlords Decree lol.

Why would Ekko want stormraider's surge? His passive already gives him a lot of movespeed plus a slow. Not to mention Thunderlord's Decree is pretty much directly inferior to Deathfire Touch...

isnt deathfire touch always better than thunderlords since thunderlords is 30 second cd which is total bs?

I have found thunderlord's more useful on Ekko then stormraider's since he already gets MS from his passive.

I like thunderlords on akali because it acts as an ignite, AND also extends the amount of time I can get an assist from other enemy champs afflicted with it. Assist=reset

It's a shame the cunning tree itself actually sucks for assassins.
