Introduction
She's only released this day, so please bear in mind that this guide can change later on.
I've seen people build her like a carry class, which she's not. I do agree that some carry items work on her, but this not bring out her full potential.
Please try out this guide before downvoting.
Seal of Attack Damage = That little extra AD works well
Glyph of Attack Speed = Great in combination with her passive
Quintessence of Desolation = Again armor pen for that great poking capabilities
Viable Alternatives:
Mark of Attack Damage = If you want extra AD
Seal of Armor = If you need extra AD defenses
Glyph of Scaling Magic Resist = If you need extra AP defenses
Glyph of Magic Resist = If you need your AP defenses early game (I prefer /lvl)
Quintessence of Attack Damage = Great alternative for Desolation runes
I chose this mastery build solely for her CDR. If you use this in combo with the item build I provided, you'll get 39% CDR which is really needed imo.
It's needed to use her to her full potential. Most of her skills have a CDR of around 6 sec, having 39% CDR will give those abilities a CDR of 3.66 seconds.
Starting items
Doran's Blade, Doran's Shield, Brawler's Gloves Health Potion or Boots Health Potion
Buy the blade in normal team compositions or for the nice poke. Shield when you're up against an AD lane.
The Brawlers are intresting for that fast Avarice into Youmuu's.
Use Boots when you're solo laning so you can't get ganked easily.
Core items
Berserker's Greaves, Youmuu's Ghostblade and Shurelya's Battlesong
The Greaves are used for that extra AS, while the Ghostbalde and Reverie are used for the CDR.
You might ask: "Why the hell the Reverie, and not Omen???"
Simple, Reverie gives better HP regen and CDR. The active is also more intresting imho.
Against heavy AD:
Thornmail, Randuin's Omen and Atma's Impaler
Thornmail for obvious reasons. The Omen gives you extra regen, CDR and an acitve you can use in combo with Reverie.
The Impaler will be your offensive item
Against heavy AP:
Hexdrinker, Wit's End and Bloodthirster
Hexdrinker and Wit's end increase your dmg output as well as giving you a nice magic resist bonus. The Bloodthirster is your offensive item
If everything is going good:
Phantom Dancer, Bloodthirster and Frozen Mallet
This gives a nice dmg output when your team is doing very well.
Frozen mallet will be your defensive item.
Other viable items that can be used:
Banshee's Veil
Infinity Edge
Guardian Angel
Black Cleaver
If you think you're getting focused way to hard, then level up Valor first. This will give you some survivability throughout the game.
The combo I use is: Blade of the Exile -> Broken Wings to initiate -> Basic Attack -> Broken Wings -> Basic Attack -> Broken Wings -> Ki Burst -> Basic attack -> Basic Attack.
When you get hit hard, use Valor whenever possible
