Hey Scourge,

I am currently level 13 (almost 14). And I am using it two days now. I can only say WOW!!!
Even with my noobish level I deal abot 190k damage and go out of each game with 15-20kills. Of course I am also dying often, but after I died, I mostly take 2 or 3 Champions with me so that my teammates can finish them.

Thank you very much, this is awesome! I am really looking forward to use it on level 30 :)

Kind of hard to ready in block paragraphs with 0 item pics. Try using [ icon = "item/spell name" size=40] in your build to make it easier to read. It'll catch the eye of more ppl.

@Hlupaco: I did so because of the different playstyle that's associated with it. You just can't play karthus the same way with this item set as you can with, say, zhonya's hourglass, rod of ages, and rylai's. Besides, if this playstyle doesn't seem fun to you, then don't use this guide, =P That's part of the beauty of this game; there isn't ONE way to play.
@Exented: Yup. That's about how fast I die. And it's about how fast the opponent's die, too. Early game, if someone is stupid enough to try and 1v1 you, they die, you don't. Mid game, you will probably die, but they will, too. Late game, it's all about making sure your team doesn't die. You'll get crushed, but that's the point. Late game, you really don't want to be ALIVE for team fights. You'll do much better off dead. Oh, and hourglass really does nothing imho. You use it, opponents wait around for two seconds outside of defile range, then finish you off. I've never seen it useful outside of dodging Requiem or Lux's ultimate.
@Lazukin: No, the top is right. If you follow the runes and masteries explicitly, you'll end up with 1740 health. That's what I always end with. *shrugs*
@Fiji: Thanks for the link, haven't looked at it yet, but I definitely will, it seems people are actually looking at this build and giving good feedback! When I actually wake up, I'll see about making this guide more user friendly and pretty!

Thanks all! @Doldrive: Wall of Pain definitely is one of his better abilities, I agree. But with this particular setup, you want your damage output as big as possible as early as possible. Having Lay Waste and Defile at the fifth rank is paramount.
@Lazukin: Lol, thanks. =P
@Shadows: Sometimes, I do grab boots before the full staff, but most of the time I'll have enough for the full staff when I blue pill for the first time, so I just grab it. It really depends on the situation for me. If you want boots before full staff, I'm sure it won't affect too much. And I would have loved to add pictures, I just don't know how. I love DEWO's guides...informative, detailed, and PRETTY. LOL
This was my first build ever, and I definitely appreciate the awesome feedback thus far! Thanks guys!

Khartus must be a little more durable buecause after some kills it starts to be first target.
Some more hp and hourglass can be more usefull.


I went 12/2/18 on the first game, although I had decent hp and our Jax was fed enough to save me when I did find myself in trouble. The thing up top doesn't accurately show hp.

Also, I almost never get close to enemies to begin with, that's what flash is for, and if you do die, you can almost always get revenge with your 8 second casting period.

Seriously I dont understand how can someone base build on stacking some item (is there anyone not knowing that you can stack archangel/bloodthirster?), but... Its like playing Xin Zhao, won game but you cant enjoy it. I vote f1 because there is no other option.
Btw why did you write so long guide just to explain that archangel stack is good? :D
