I main azir and my most used build is Void Staff, Morello, Ionian Boots, Rylais, Liandries, and Rabadons. It works pretty good. Was just wondering if anyone else out there builds azir differently and still has success with him. What about Nashor's tooth? By the way that isn't my build order.. just the items I use.
morello,deathcap,voidstaff,zhonyas,ionion boots, last item can be rylias or a banshees viel
That's pretty much the same build I prefer for APC Azir, with the exception of Morellonomicon over Athene's. You usually want to be running AP/Level blues, so I find the MR from Athene's pretty invaluable.
I've seen a number of high elo players rush Athene's Unholy Grail on Azir for some reason. I've tried it and it seems effective but i'm still not sure about it.
Rush a codex, buy a blasting wand, finish nashor's with the Codex, turn the Blasting wand into a Rylai's. Reason I do it in this order is because while Nashor's is GREAT, it offers no damage past the codex, so I buy a Blasting Wand early to give me some AP to keep my trades in lane in my favor. After that I buy Sorc Boots, reason I do this is because I use CDR scaling glyphs for Azir, overall late game this gives me more dps than ionian boots and since Azir's lategame is where he shines, well, yeah.
Past that I buy Rabadons or Zhonya's next, depending on the enemy team and if I'm doing good or not, then Void Staff, then buy whichever I didn't buy earlier (rabadons or zhonya's).
If I get a lot of kills early on I might pick up a Mejai's, Azir's super safe if he's ahead so it can be cost effective and can easily replace your void staff or even your boots. But I wouldn't do it in a ranked match of course.
I like to rush a codex and go into athenes. Then go for a haunting guise and a rylais then a void staff and I like to leave my last item as a situational one. I get lucidity boots so I end up with max CDR anyways with the 5% from masteries.
Sorc Shoes / Athene's or Morello's depending on the game / Fiendish Codex that I sometimes don't upgrade depending on the game / Hourglass / Rylai's / Rabadon's
I build Azir kinda weird, but it works. I start Morellos, then her nashor's, and go a bit tanky with Rylai's and RoA. Then I usually get rabadons and a zhonyas.
Nashors has about 4400 gold value for 2900 gold investment. It should almost always be one of your first complete items as it provides a very incredible powerspike to Azir, get Ionian boots shortly after finishing nashors, and with 5% cdr from runes you'll have 1.3 attacks and 40% cdr... and your soldiers should be doing about 150 damage per poke at level 8-9 (if you've gotten 2 dorans rings).
