Introduction

Pros / Cons

Main rune set

Greater Mark of Strength Flat AD marks on an AD carry is pretty self explainatory. You could get armor penetration too, but the 40% from Last Whisper is more then enough. The Flat AD marks give you that little edge over your lane enemy or that faster clearing time in the jungle. Greater Seal of Fortitude The extra HP this gives you makes you alot less squishy. And you have more sustain in the jungle.

_____

Greater Glyph of Warding The only real source of defense comes from Guardian Angel since guardian angel gives enough Armor, getting magic resist marks is a solid choice. Greater Quintessence of Strength Even more damage! Yeah!.

Other runes worth considering

Ignite Great for those early kills and shutting down champs that have alot of life steal and health regen. Even late game it adds a nice amount of damage to your attacks. 410 is more health than you think if you use it against a squishy champion. Flash Flash is a great spell for EVERY champion. It can help you close gaps, create gaps, escape by flashing over walls, overall great spell.

_____

Cleanse Cleanse helps you escape sticky situations. Your just about to escape but Nasus used Wither on you? You have low health and Veigar used Event Horizon on you? Use cleanse and get out of there! Heal The number one reason i chose this spell above Ghost is because Blood Rush gives you enough chasing power, and if needed you can use Flash. Even tough Ghost is still a valid pick, Heal can help you win that 1v1 vs the enemy ad carry, just survive a gank, survive an Ignite Trick enemy's in normal 1v1's by going into a bush with low health, use Heal and spam all your skills on them for an advantage. Defenitly a good spell.

This is basically a mini-ignite. Great for harassing. Overall a very nice Passive.

• Early game, try hitting with spinning axe and wait till the debuff is over then try to hit your target again. Repeat this while last hitting minions. If the enemy is a melee champion, the lane is yours! (Solo-top, Mid)
  
  
• Frequently check how much damage Wicked Blades does, so when there is someone on low hp you know when you should tower dive, or just try to hit them with that last spinning axe. This requires quick reflexes since you need to check their HP while they are retreating.

So many to explain on this skill. I'll add photo's in the feature for you to get a better understanding of it. Basically its a little mini-game. Stand on the gold dot ^.^ This is a skill that will seperate the good Draven's from the bad Draven's. You'll get used to it soon, but mastering it is a different story.

• When you want to harass in lane throw the axe, and while it is traveling you have a short time between the dot appearing where you can decide in which direction the axe is heading. Constant harass = Throw the axe walk back, keep walking backwards and stop at the gold dot. then start auto attacking since there will be half of a second of time left for you to throw a normal auto attack.
  
  
• After you get Berserker's Greaves you'll be able to land a quick auto attack before the axe reaches the ground. So its Spinning axe ---> Auto-attack ---> Quick strafe to left or right.

This, together with Spinning Axe really decides whether your a good Draven or not. Early game, only use it when your going in for the kill, or killing a tower, mid-late game you'll have to try to reactivate it with EVERY spinning axe you land. This will greatly increase your dps. Of course this is hard, but as i said before, Draven has a high skill cap.

• Use this ability whenever your attacking a tower. With frequent tower harrasment, before you know it the tower is down and your team has a huge advantage and team fights will already start occuring. Draven is a VERY effective Pusher.
  
• This is a great chasing skill. Throw a Spinning Axe ---> Activate Blood Rush and run after your target. stop for a split second to catch your axe and activate Blood Rush again while running for extreme chasing potential. This is something that has to be practiced too.

Your only form of CC. Use this wisely.

• Remember: Pictures are coming. When attacking try to throw it in a way that it will slice a champion in the direction you want him to go, which is in the direction of your turret. That little push to the left or right can be that last tick of Wicked Blades
  
  
• Remember that the little push is a very short disable so when your being tower dived use Stand Aside followed by Blood Rush. This should be able to close the distance greatly.

This skill will cause you so much fun! Most of my kills early - mid game are secured by this sweet ultimate. Its basically a Trueshot Barrage and Enchanted Crystal Arrow in terms of range. This baby can secure kills and you can pull of some nice tricks with it.

• This ability gives vision so if you miss a champion use the following trick: Oke, so you have a champion at low health and you still have mana? No problem Whirling Death is your solution! But wait, you missed? Oh no! Lets hope there are no mid-high health champions behind him cause else this won't work. Now, walk in a straight line as you last saw the enemy champion walk. If the enemy champion walked to the left, walk to the left too, if the enemy champion walked to the right, walk to the right too. Now, if you think you're in a straight line with the enemy champion, click R again. Your Blades will now return to you and since you are in a straight line with the enemy champion it will change direction and basically go right trough the enemy champion! Ha! You still got a kill! Now wait for a couple of seconds and wait for the: WTF!? in the chat. ;)
  
  
• Dont use this as an opener. Late game Stand Aside can be used as an opener since its a very short disable and that can change the outcome of a teamgame. Use Whirling Death as a finisher. You might even get some nice double-triple kills. Hell, even use it when the enemy team is all around mid health which will alomst guarantee a win for your team! (If both teams started with medium to full health)

Doran's Blade I like this for some more early damage. Draven has a nice early game advantage with this. Of course you have less sustain, and its a bit harder to catch Spinning axes. But if you manage yourself well and know how to handle Spinning Axe you will be fine. Health Potion's and Boots of Speed Less damage but easier to catch Spinning Axe's and more sustain. Health Potion's and Brawler's Gloves into Executioners calling This gives you very nice amount of life-steal early game, and gives you amazing sustain in lane. This will also help you shut down Health regen and life steal dependent summoners, and you will win most 1v1's because of the lifesteal.

Phantom Dancer This gives high crit damage and alot of attack speed and movement speed. This is nescesarry! Infinity Edge This is nescessary because it gives 250% crit. If you even consider leaving this out of your build you dont know what your doing.

_____

Bloodthirster This is a very important item for an AD carry. You will rarely to never see an AD carry without this. When fed and full stacks, AD carry's become ridiculous. The life steal and the damage makes them THE AD carry.

Last Whisper The 40% armor penetration is a whole lot! Makes tank's less tanky for you, and kills squishy champions even faster! Defenitely one of my favourite items! Guardian angel This makes you a whole less squishy! A nice amount of armor and magic resist, and the passive is literally game changing! Low health champion just killed you? No problem revive and hunt that bastard down! You are almost to your turret but you just get killed? No problem, revive and still make it! This item saved me so many times, i love it.

_____

Frozen mallet When you have this item, hell breaks loose. No one can escape. Death is inevitable. Of course its a little sacrifice to your overall damage, but it makes you alot more tanky! If then enemy AD carry is hyper fed this might not be a very good choice. But if there is an underfed enemy carry, but this and get Double-Triple-Quadra-Pentakill's on a minutely basis.

Thornmail This can give you a real edge if you fight against an AD heavy team. If there are more then 2-3 AP based chars, don't bother. Warmog's armor Only buy this when you're going full tank. I dont see while you would do this, but hey.. your choice! AND its really good combined with Atma's Impaler

_____

Atma's Impaler Only buy this if you have bought a Warmog's Armor Banshee's veil Is there an AP based char bullying you and constantly focusing and bursting you down? This item can and WILL save you from their huge burst damage. Every 45 seconds you gain a spell shield. This will really save your behind alot. Quicksilver Sash This is basically a Cleanse in an item. You dont need this for the Sustained DPS build because you already have Cleanse, but for the other builds, you can use this whenever you have a CC heavy enemy team.
