These item cost are not much different, I usually rush Bloodthirster and fallow up with one of these item.

In my opinion, he benefit most from Youmuu's Ghost Blade because of his burst shot style.

Graves already has his AS boost from his E.

20 flat arm-pen is very good early on, especially when your Q or R hit a target,
you will know that it is stronger.

15% crit chance, 10% CDR and useful active that can be considered as a "Mini Highlander" (40% AS and 20% move speed")

So, what do you think?

Well first off you shouldn't be asking us for a 2nd item when the 1st item you have sucks.

Ever since the nerfs to Bloodthirster, it no longer is good as a rush item, in fact most people seem to get it late game.

hi im gosu and other top players seem to rush Infinity Edge because of the extra damage boost it was given, along with the critical strike chance and boosted critical damage. After that phantom dancers seems to be the way to go since attack speed items also go a buff
If you found me helpful give me some +Rep :)

First, I use your Tryndamere guide and it is very usefull, thanks and +Rep.

Well, so many ADC guide out there still tell to get Bloodthirster first, but as you says it got nerfs and if it is no longer a good option anymore.

Could you give some alternate rush to Infinity Edge please, because I usually start with Long Sword + 3 x pots instead of Doran's Blade.

It will be good if I can rush something good that contain Long Sword in a script.

Thanks for your comment :)

Which would work wonders if you wouldn't be so reliant on (the burst of) Buckshot and Collateral Damage.

You'll need some early lifesteal to stay in lane. I think people usually go for double Doran's Blade at the moment to provide this. If you want to start Long Sword you could build that into a Vampiric Scepter early.

For a Vampiric Scepter of 800 gold you get 10ad and 8% lifesteal. Comparing that to what you get for two Doran's Blades at 880 gold I think double dorans is usually a better approach, especially for a burst champion(the extra hp helps a lot in all-ins).

I think a Doran's Blade start also makes more sense for Graves since you'll be auto-attacking more to keep True Grit up anyways.

TL;DR: I think you could, but I wouldn't recommend it. There are probably other champions that can go that route better than Graves.

I think Youmuu's Ghostblade is a good option if you know you get to decide whether or not there will be a fight. If your opponents are able to initiate better than you can disengage then you'll probably have to fight without the active too. I haven't tried the item since the changes though.

I think Statikk Shiv is a safer option with a synergy with a bursty playstyle.


EDIT: I won't vote since I think it comes down to the game a lot.
