Lots of people are currently playing her nearly Full AP with this build:






I don't personally like that build all that much because it doesn't allow you to evolve your Q, which is a good chunk of your damage. My preferred build provides better burst damage, give you far better sustain, grants a larger shield on your ult, and allows you to evolve all three of your abilities as soon as possible.



with the last two items depending on how the match is going.
- By the time you finish your third item, Baron fights could start happening. Getting BotRK can be a good idea for the percent HP damage and the extra sustain, plus the second slow from the BotRK active adds a lot of utility especially with the AoE slow from Hextech Gunblade.
- Great for damaging multiple enemies in team fights, Runaan's crit chance gives you the full damage from your Stormrazor proc, and increases your sustain by a lot due to the bolts applying on-hit effects. The bolts can also crit.
- You can easily proc Lich Bane three to four times in a fight, adding a lot more burst damage to your combo. The extra mana, CDR, and movement speed are really nice to have too.


- Defensive items like Banshee's Veil, Guardian Angel, and Zhonya's Hourglass will obviously help you survive longer, and give your team more time to save you or clean up in team fights.
