AP insane around 800 damage nuker shumpo, same damage ulti


While yes, you can get 800 AP (Requires a deathcap, three hourglasses, and a full soulstealer, good luck...), It makes you so fragile in both the laning phase and ganking phase, that you probably will never reach that point. A more... reasonable, shall we say, AP Kat build will net you right around 620 AP. This drops the damage of your ult under that of an end game AD Kat. Still, I would argue that the ult of said AP Kat is better, as it includes a slow...

(runes and masteries not included in calculations)

"you want the chance to crit on the autoattack after the shunpo"
Dude, change that Infinity edge for a trinity force, you will be having a free crit after every shunpo, also it gives nice bonuses

Second, the effects of AD on the ultimate.
Death lotus goes off 50% AD or 30% AP. Let's do the math.
Average AP build is about 360 AP.
30% of that is 120. So, each dagger at level 3 does 200 magic damage. Pretty cool.
But AD build... jesus. Especially if you substitute one bloodthirster for a 75 Damage cleaver... You're landing yourself smack in the middle of 500 AD.
50% of 500 = 250. Add 80 to that. That's 330 damage per dagger. HOLY ****.

+ shupo can be done every 2 secs or instantly if you kill someone, same as all the other skills, and AP build has smaller cooldowns than Ad build

Sounds clear to me

Seriously is quite funny to ace a team of rammus, nunu, vlad, xin zhao and ashe with 3 ultis in a row with the help of galios ulti

I just played a CO-OP vs AI and I went 59/4/12. It was insane.

How do u max Shunpo first when u are going AD. U do much more damage with your bouncing blade because it scales great with AD ..

Although i don't enjoy it as much as AP Kat, this is a very nice build and i use it whenever i wanna switch things up or if we are short on AD on a team. thanks for the guide +1.

the best part of this guide is the fact you admit that attack is worse then ap, BUT I'd suggest also saying this build is good if the other team has a high usage of silence CC or canceling skills.

you dont count magic penetration



Dude, i posted this:


I don't totally understand what you're disagree with, 275 damage from Bloodthirsters is more than you get from a typical endgame AP build, and it's still magic damage when the daggers go flying. Almost 100 more per dagger than your AP build, which only has 9 more magic penetration

But! AD can easily get around around 40 magic pen before void staff, id imagine that would be 56 afterwards. On a 70 MR character, thats 23% DR for AD v. 13% for AP (i am assuming the only MP difference is the void staff)

Thats 211 damage v. 137 damage (ignoring the base of 80 or whatever it is, though I shouldnt, thatll get AP like 6 or 7 damage closer id imagine)

And that assumes nothing else is lowering their resist

AD would, after that MR, deal about 2500 damage over 2.7 seconds to 3 characters
AP would deal around 1900 damage.
