Introduction
So, remember back in the old summoners rift seasons? Remember how cool Adc Twisted Fate used to be? Well, **** the meta. If ziggs can be an apc, and fizz can be an offtank, Twisted fate can demolish people without just Stun-Q'ing adc's.
Also, have you ever heard the sound of twisted fate's auto attacks? Well, imagine that, but with 2.50 attack speed. Yeah, that's how good AS/AD Twisted Fate is
Pros:
-Mixed (AP/AD) Damage
-High range TP ulti
-Long lasting stun
-No mana use at all
-Can 1v1 almost any champion if you get gold card
-Can ulti to check objectives
Cons:
-No mobility (Except with a channeled ulti)
-Susceptible to early assasins
-QSS counters your whole all-in pretty strongly
-Very damaged by Exhaust (slows your AAs and your damage)
-You're probably gonna get flagged as a troll unless you do pretty good.
-Pretty bad trading potential

Normal spells
You've probably read this in a lot of other guides (except maybe a singed one), but ALWAYS, take flash. Its your only way of escaping any engage (of course you can also use it offensively to stun someone)
Here is the discrepancy. You can go defensive and take barrier (pretty good in lane against ignite, and in late game you can 1v1 better) I recommend this if you're just starting on twisted fate overall
Or you can go aggresive and go ignite. I usually pick up ignite, but just because I'd rather have the kill pressure than be pressured.
Optional
I take it against matchups with CC which I know I won't win. For example, a Syndra with a jungle skarner.
Take this against assasins you're scared of, or against All-inners like Yasuo or Talon



Optional






As an almost non-AP champion, your Q's will deal absolute garbage damage. Therefore, unless you want to long range farm with your Q, do not give it a point until obligatory.
Your E is the base of your damage, and it also gives you more attack speed, so its a must to max first.
Needless to say put a point on your ulti everytime you can
In lane you just want to farm and reach your first item since trying to 1v1 your enemy can be pretty dangerous. Even trading can go in his favor.
But, in case you want to play more aggresively, time your auto attacks to farm with normal AAs, and when your E is ready, AA your opponent when he gets closer to farm. After level 2, if you feel like it, you can also add a yellow card in that trade, and, with enough attack speed, add some more AAs too. If your enemy notices your intention and backs too much, just use the gold card you picked to farm.
Repeat the process until your opponent is low enough and all-in him. Take in count many people will understimate your damage.
If you've used your gold card too many times, just one or two blue cards on a minion will replenish your mana.
Always remember to ward since you have no mobility.
Post 6 start pushing more often without forgetting what was said before. Your ulti is an almost instant TP so it can catch offguard any lane. It is almost guaranteed that you'll get a kill if, for example, your enemy bot engaged into yours, and you get there in no time.
If you get ganked, stun the target that can CC you (Needless to say if your enemy katarina is 10/0/0 don't stun the rengar)

From now on, your job is to apply pressure in others sides of the maps while keeping an eye out for a possible ulti. Remember you're very helpful to your teammates with a long-lasting stun.
During teamfights, stay behind your tanks in the backline and just DO DAMAGE, to any target. Always watch the enemy adc and his positioning. If he happened to separate from his support or a huge CC'er, ulti behind him in a safe spot and 1v1 him. Worst case scenario he'll have QSS and will deal tons of damage to you, but bright side is you deal way more tons of damage. If the rest of the backline tries to kill you after that, run and have your gold card ready (Even though you can probably kill them too). Remember you still have other 4 teammates

-You can auto attack while picking a card.
-Your red card, though not that used in my opinion, applies the slow in an area of the target you attacked.
-Your W cards also work against turrets (Blue will give you mana, red will do damage around the turret)
-The most essential trick when playing twisted fate: Make sure before you teleport with your ulti, to have your 4 stacks of E and your card ready
-After you have stunned someone by chance (as in range), don't just stand there and auto attack it. If you know he's not gonna retaliate, move towards him so in case you don't kill it in a span of W cooldown you can stun him again. If you just stand there AAing him you won't reach another stun unless you have boots advantage
-Don't just tunnel when you ult. If you see the enemy adc pushing by himself dont just R twice at his side, look closely if there is any other enemy nearby.
-You have 3 cards in your W. The first one (the one you'll pick if you insta W twice) will be the next one from the one you picked last time, so: If you picked blue, next one will be red; if you picked red, next one will be gold; if you picked gold, next one will be blue.

First buy

(from 1 to 3, depending on how scared you are)
First Back
Buy as many daggers as you can (Obviously just the needed, selling them after is not worth)
If you have enough money you MAY CONSIDER also buying
SUPER MEGA DEATH CORE ITEM
Runaan makes your E passive stack faster, which is exactly what you need. This is completely necessary.
Here is what a full build (in order) would look like

Now it is your time to decide depending on what's your biggest threat in the game. The recommendations I'd give you are:
-
-
-
(in exchange for Rapid fire cannon) - Aaaand sometimes Guardian Angel can come in handy too

Some patches ago, BOTRK used to be my second item, it was pretty good and it gives you a lot more 1v1 potential, but since it was reworked as to give more AD and less AS, I don't think its optimal. You may build it according to your preferences, but with the 3 items given in the Build Section you already reach the 2.50 AS cap at full guinsoo stack, so you'd have to change an AS item (which in the case you do build BOTRK I suggest you take out rapid fire cannon)
However in the case you are facing an unusual number of problematic tanks you may want to consider considering it
Also, BOTRK is mostly for adc's, and you're not an adc, you're... like... something else that's not an adc but shreds people anyway.

I wanna firstly thank me, for doing this guide and you for reading it
The reason I made this guide (though a little late) was because I've loved playing AS twisted fate since long ago (too bad I can't play it in ranked cause, you know, report adc for picking TF), and I saw Tobias Fate trying to put AD TF in the meta, so I thought "Hey, maybe some people like this, and I'm kinda experienced in it, so why not?"
Also this guide might be a little simple-looking. Yeah. I made it in some hours, so ofc its not gonna be so elaborated, but hope it helps you.
Feel free to correct any point in my guide
