Twisted Fate Build Guide by Rudmed

Very nice guide (just tested ap TF but i will test ad too XP) one thing if you are up against Veigar you should maybe consider to pick up Abyssal Scepter in stead of Void Staff to survive his Primordial Burst since it scales with your ap too. It sure hurts your Wild Cards but well as you said a living tf can still burst :P

Note: Veigar is countered by Quicksilver Sash, Mercury's Treads, Banshee's Veil and Guardian Angel. Any MR item helps, but those 4 are by far the best counters.

Anyway back to TF...

Starting with Doran's (on either build) is situational at best and a bad idea most of the time. You should have boots almost all the time in bot lane and definitely all the time in mid. Mobility and sustain is simply much more valuable than starting Ring or Blade. Doran's Blade is occasionally useful with certain sustain supports if you're going for a lot of fast aggression (which tf isn't that good at tbh), but it's far from core.

I'd probably add a second Doran's Ring and finish the Sheen before building Sorcerer's Shoes. The boost to your mp5 and mana pool (as well as the offensive benefits of course) should be more useful in early laning than upgrading your boots immediately.

No Deathfire Grasp? With it's new changes, I'd think it's close to core on TF now. He needs as much single target burst as he can get for ganking purposes. You can build Kage's Lucky Pick early on, which certainly doesn't hurt.

As cool as Teleport is on TF, I'd still favor Ignite.

Brute Force > Mental Force , especially since you already have to autoattack to use your W. 3 AD is simply more valuable and more useful than 3 AP, especially in the early game. Also gives a nice boost to your last-hitting.

You really should be getting Runic Affinity as AP TF. Despite his strong mana sustain, you should be getting blue buff a lot throughout the game. 30 seconds of blue buff is FAR more valuable than 1% movement speed.


Again, Teleport is great, but you really can't afford to take it. If you as an AD carry take anything but flash, exhaust, heal, cleanse or ignite, you're asking to lose your lane. I'd go for Ignite since the Heal nerfs. Your support can get you an Exhaust most of the time. Some will even go Heal/Exhaust for you.

AD marks are better for AD carries imo. The help with last-hitting is actually quite useful, especially for lasthitting under tower. Though any aggression you can get away with in lane is great, most bot lanes predominantly favor farming over high aggression. You don't even lose much damage at all by using AD over armor pen anyway.

I'd think a traditional AD carry build would be better on him. At least get Last Whisper and Guardian Angel instead of TBC and BV. If you're AD carrying, you need the %arpen to punch through tank armor. You're probably going to be the only one that can actually deal threatening damage to a tanky champion. GA is a better survival tool for AD carries most of the time since BV is too easily popped. Also I'd get Vampiric Scepter earlier and finish The Bloodthirster before you build any defensive items. Lifesteal is a pretty strong defense in itself. You should delay survivability as long as possible as an AD carry and rely on positioning to keep yourself alive. It's much more effective than a low damage carry that's harder to burst. Sometimes an early GA is necessary, but it should be as late as possible.

I mostly just skimmed the rest of your guide because I'm lazy, but a few things seem out of date. The AD carry seals still show hp/lvl instead of armor, for example.

Anyway, hope you find this to be of some use.
