Hey there, I wanted only to say that Infinity Edge does not buff the Q crit damage, sadly :(

I believe it used to, when I made the build. Now that the system has been reworked last season, it doesn't buff the Q damage anymore. Thanks for the info!

Np!
Although, the new Navori does buff the damage of every spell!

Hi! I wanted to know if Hail of blades was really the best option for this type of build and why, because (stop me if Im wrong) I believe that the passive empowered E trigger it automatically, wasting the hail of blades since the 3 autos are almost instants. Great build nevertheless, will try it!

I don't think the empowered E can trigger it, since it has nothing to do with auto-attacks. Maybe I misunderstood your question? I'd love for you to clarify it.
Thank you for the response, I hope you enjoy the build!

I meant the Z, that’s a typo by me my bad!

Do you mean the empowered W, which has 3 instant auto-attacks?

Yes exactly

Well then, that's kind of the entire point of the build actually. When I made the build, I just thought it would fit perfectly into the ability. Basically, it makes the ability faster, which helps with dealing damage and bursting down targets. With the crit items, the Hail Of Blades is a very much suitable rune to combo with.

In the discription of Dusblades you said that if build Infinity Edge must be build 4th item, but in your "Builds" section, the Dusblade build shows Infinity Edge at 5th place. Is it a mistake or is it meant as "4th item after the core one"?
Also, in your Note for Guinsoo's Rageblade it's said to replace Navori, which is no longer part of the build. So what should be replaces when I want/need to build Giunsoo with the Dusblade build, since Infinity Edge is not replaceable there?

Thanks for the question!
As for the Infinity Edge and Duskblade, what I meant was IE should be at the fourth place since I don't regard boots as a legendary item. Since most might see it the way you do, I might be better off changing it to the 5th item.
About the Guinsoo's and Navori, that might be due to a mixup after countless updates and patches. I suggest replacing IE with Guinsoo's and keeping the last item (The Collector).

wdyt of PtA? Given that panth empowered w makes u hit target 3 times it should oneshot faster, and give more damage, no? Ive been trying with it and it seems great as it also helps your team.

Thanks for the question! As of PTA, I did dedicate an entire section (Keystones) about this matter. PTA does offer more damage and help your teammate, but it has one detrimental flaw that makes it technically unsuitable for this particular playstyle: The attack speed. HoB allows you to execute quicker and safer combos, which is really important since you can be very squishy with this build. In terms of damage, if you want to go for short trades and dominate early game, PTA is the way to go. In the long run, when you have more items and damage, HoB is the best option.

I'd suggest you try it for yourself and see what works best for you, or you can literally just use both and adjust to your playstyle.GLHF!

Oh, good point, if you think about it, given that you're going crit you focus on hitting more, and as Panths burst is mainly in his 3 basics from the empowered W, PTA is actually useless as you deal no damage after the burst window.

That's situational, but yes, most of the time it would be that way. If the enemy doesn't die after your Triple Crit and it's mid/late game, you might probably die. That's why I prefer HOB.

Thank you for the positive feedback!

Hey man if you wan to oneshot people u should try go full letality/armor pen, like yoummu into draktharr, into botrk, into seryldas, is the same but different haha

I know my guy! Mathematically Correct Pantheon can also oneshot people in the very same manner. The purpose of this build I made is only for fun, something people haven't seen and tried before. Lethality is also a very good choice too.

Can this be played in top?

I feel like this build works the best against squishy targets. So I chose mid lane as the primary lane. Top lane, on the other hand, usually consists of bruisers and tanks. So in a nutshell, you can play this build in the top lane against matchups that are not too tanky (ex: Akali, Jax, Irelia, etc.).

This build is insane

I know, Daniel. I know.

good guide!

Thank you for the reply!

Can this be played in jungle? If so are there any specific changes to items or runes I should make?

I have tried this build jungle a couple of times, but it usually turns out bad. If I am ever going to make suggestions for jungling, I'd say take PTA instead of HOB because that will help you deal more damage and duel with the opposing jungler. You can also take smite + ignite, but that is a bit risky.
