What does "on-hit" build mean?

I hear people say "on-hit teemo" or "on-hit urgot" and I don't really know what it means. Are there certain items that do this "on-hit" damage? I'm posting here because I don't want a simplistic or scattered answer like I would most likely get from lol wiki or something. Thanks in advance!

There are a lot of items ( item 3153 Blade of the Ruined King, item 3091 Wit's End, and item 3115 Nashor's Tooth are a few examples) that have bonus effects applied when auto attacking. When talking about on-hit builds, it means you stack a lot of these items, since they all proc on auto attacks, and all of them synergize with each other, as each of their bonus attack speed stats allows you to apply the on-hit effects from other items.

Some on-hit effects come from items, while some come from champions. KogMaw Kog'Maw's W is a good example of a buff that gives a very strong on-hit effect. When building a ranged on-hit effect build, item 3085 Runaan's Hurricane is often used, as this lets the attacker apply their on-hit effects to more than one target at a time.

It may seem confusing at first (trust me, I've been there!) but it's really a relatively simple idea once you have the "Aha!" moment.

Kayle is a good example of an on-hit building champion. I wouldn't necessarily say it's busted, but it's a strong item that works well with her kit.

In general, item 3124 Guinsoo's Rageblade is built for someone using on-hit effects to duel another champion, but item 3085 Runaan's Hurricane is good to spread out your damage over multiple targets. Or build both! Whatever floats your boat.

a kayle build goes something like: item 3115 item 3085 item 3100 item 3089 optional item 3091 and item 3006 also as tiltoverenforcer says item 3124 is also a viable but very expensive choice.

as a Kayle main since season 3, I prefer this build respectively. (in its priority)

item 3124 item 3006 item 3091 item 3115 item 3085 item 3153

Optional for team support / bit more health to sustain/to counter burst dmgs (zed,malz,adc,etc) : item 3116 HP , AP , AOE Slow/Kite

item 3143 adc, yasuo, etc (AD Crit Burst)

item 3157 Survival kit. However, may not be useful vs CC champion.

item 3026 item 3022 item 2420 item 3140

TIPS: You don't have to rush Nashors item 3115 for this season 8. Rather, I'd recommend Guinsoo item 3124 as a most important item for Kayle Kayle , especially vs Tanks.

TIPS2: Kayle is Very fragile to TANKY CC champs. Worst part is when there are at least 2 tanks and more than 3 of them has hard cc. (Kayle should also act as an ADC. R>Q>W Time of use is highly important.)

Building defensive is highly recommended for the mid-late game in these cases.
