Components/Cost: + +750g (total 2650)

• 50% Attack Speed

UNIQUE Passive: +20%CDR UNIQUE Passive: Dusk Slash - Basic attacks and movement energize this item. At 100 energy, your next basic attack consumes all energy, ignores shields and does (20%AD)(20%AP) bonus damage. UNIQUE Passive: Blackout - (see )

I will first say that this item is intended to replace the Duskblade, not coexist with it. Should Riot want to keep blackout, but remove Duskblade from the game, this is my idea for keeping the blackout passive, while getting rid of the nuke potential of Duskblade and giving it more sustained fight potential with that quick initial "shieldbreaker" (or shield-avoider) mechanic to provide just enough damage that can't be mitigated by a blockade.

Its also important to know that even though this is a pure AS item, this does work with empowered attacks...so for example, a Diana who ran this and hit with her 3rd autoattack would cause her passive proc (since it's technically on an autoattack) to ignore the shields of the initial target for some surprising damage. However, this item on its own is just that: a simple attack speed steroid that otherwise gives no other stats. It brings some pleasant utility to the table in blackout and shield-avoidance, but is still an "all eggs in one basket" item. By comparison: Nashor's gives this same 50% AS boost, but also gives AP and a smaller damage boost on every hit instead of one hit every 30s.
