What's your champion's power spike?

A little background so you know why i'm asking this question. A few days ago, my friend and I were playing a ranked game together and i was playing Draven and I was doing pretty decent during the game, not the best game I have played but far from the worst. However, the Shyvana jungle on the other team started to get get her items. She bought red smite bloodrazor and titanic hydra then started to build tank items, so in my mind i dismissed her as a non threat. Near the end of the game, some of my teammates started a small skirmish which lead to a teamfight. Shyvana was able to kill everyone very easily including me, and that took me by surprise since i thought she didn't have too much damage. The teamfight wasn't completely detrimental and we were able to win another fight and end the game.

Here is the game for reference: http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/2597913327/207676417?tab=overview

So now i ask the question what is your champion's power spike? I would like to know what to look out for, whether it be when they hit a certain level or buy a certain item or set of items. I'd love to hear what you have to say about your champion.

Thank you for taking the time to read the post and reply!

AD Ez has two very obvious spikes: Triforce and Muramana.

Akali's is Gunblade.

WW's is Titanic.

Any Bruiser's is Cleaver.

Yasuo's is IE + PD.

Teemo has two separate ones based on build: Nashor's or Liandry's.

Kayle's is Rageblade.

Riven's is Ravenous.

Jax's and Irelia's is Triforce.

There're more, but TL;LI

Pretty much any AA-reliant ADC: Statikk Shiv

The flat damage and waveclear and accidental poke, all of which is magic damage... it's kind of good.

Kayn: When I get my evo. I'll do shit damage before then and a fucking Janna can 1v1 me. (I'll be more a threat with my ult but otherwise Kayn is probably one of the worst junglers in the game when it comes to dueling, at least Nunu and Ivern have tankiness/shields.)

Trundle spikes off of item 3078 when he can build it, otherwise its mostly just his Lvl 6 spike is nuts. also his lvl 2 cheese is pretty great, especially with item 2033

Sejuani is my main girl. She hits a pretty hard one and you wouldn't even realize it. Cinderhulk is her first pretty hard one. Combined with bonus health from runes and masteries, you can get a decent chunk of health besides the bonus you already get with it. Her second hard spike comes with Warmogs. Any decent Sejuani will build item 1401 > item 3111 > item 3083. Since Sejuani has a good damage ability that scales off of health and since most Sejuanis use Courage, she has a huge shield on her Q and Ult. After that, she starts to cool off a little, but you shouldn't underestimate buys like Gargoyle, Dead Man's Plate, Iceborn Gauntlet, and Thornmail. Spirit Visage also adds extra healing from Warmog's and from ally abilities.

Yorick, when he's got 3 ghouls ready or his ult. Triforce is biggest item power spike.

Nasus When he gets 45% CDR (you should start with 15%), you can't even stop him from stacking at this point and he should be able to kill you anyways

[darius-angry] Should be pretty obvious but I'll go ahead anyways. Running a standard build, all of his damage comes from Black Cleaver and fully proc'd passive. He finishes Cleaver, he spikes. He fully procs passive, run the fuck away.

Vladimir spikes at 6, Protobelt, and Liandry's, then again at 5 items.

Vel'Koz power spikes every time his ult comes off cooldown. [sg-ezreal]

I like playing Evelynn, and her power spike comes from obviously, lvl 6 because of her stealth and execute.

In my opinion he spikes at early-mid-game/mid-game with 2 or 3 items around lvl 10-12.
