Runes
Runes
Greater Mark of Desolation: Very useful to get that required armor pen for tankier champions.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
Runes
Greater Seal of Scaling Mana Regeneration: Miss Fortune is very mana hungry early game. These help you in the laning phase and allow you to harass more freely.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
Runes
Greater Glyph of Magic Resist: Helps against those annoying casters you might have to fight mid. Can be used instead of attack speed.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
Runes
Greater Quintessence of Desolation: This, with Greater Mark of Desolation, and Sunder will let you start off with about 30 armor penetration.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
Runes
Greater Mark of Attack Damage: Gives you a nice advantage early game, but armor pen is better for late.
Runes
Greater Seal of Replenishment: If you don't have the Clarity seals, these are just fine.
Runes
Greater Quintessence of Attack Damage: Also very nice for an early game advantage, but the armor pen quints are better for late game.
Greater Quintessence of Health: Nice for the extra tankiness early game, but the armor pen is better for late game.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
Flash
Elaboration: Great spell for any champion. Can be used for getting away by flashing over walls, or even flashing closer to the enemy to pick up a kill with Double Up or your auto attack.
|
Exhaust
Elaboration: Very good if you can get in range of the main enemy damage dealer, and makes it almost impossible to take you on 1v1 if you're fed. This, and Flash are usually the spells I take on Miss Fortune.
|
_____________________________________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________________________________
Teleport
Elaboration: Useful for getting around the map quickly, and being there for your team when you're needed. I take this if I have to solo top, so I can help out bottom lane quickly if needed.
|
Cleanse
Elaboration: Nice to get out of those sticky situations where you would have died otherwise. Completely viable, but I feel like it isn't needed if you're positioned correctly.
|
Ghost
Elaboration: Very useful on Miss Fortune considering her mobility goes down the drain if you get hit. Can replace Flash, but it isn't recommended.
|
Surge
Elaboration: This spell is actually very nice for AD, or Hybrid Miss Fortune. It's very nice for increasing your damage output.
|
Heal
Elaboration: Useful for first blood, but falls off completely late game. Not needed if playing safely. |
Revive
Elaboration: Your whole purpose of being a carry is to not die. So this spell shouldn't be needed.
|
Smite
Elaboration: I've heard of my friend playing jungle Miss Fortune, but until I see it, this spell remains here.
|
Clarity
Elaboration: I've been debating about adding this to the viable spells, because Miss Fortune is definitely mana hungry early game. It loses its luster late game, but very useful in the laning phase.
|
Clairvoyance
Elaboration: I've seen some AD carries go support, but with the latest nerfs to this spell, I don't really think it's viable for very many champions anymore, especially for Miss Fortune.
|
Promote
Elaboration: This spell really isn't bad, but it's not Miss Fortune's job to push/backdoor. Sure, she can do it, but the purpose of this build is to be a major asset to your team, not backdooring.
|
Passive: Strut
Elaboration: Amazing passive. It makes Miss Fortune have the most mobility out of any AD carry, as long as you don't get hit. The only other carry that can rival Miss Fortune's movement speed is probably Vayne, but that's only when she's running toward a champion. If you're against a skill shot champion like Lux or Anivia, try to run around the lane randomly and they'll have a horrible time trying to target you.
|
_____________________________________________________________________________________
Q: Double Up
Elaboration: One of the best harassing abilities ever. Just stay safely behind your minions, fire at a minion the enemy champion is standing right behind, and you have some easy harass. And if you see the enemy champion running back as you're getting ready to Double Up, try and aim for the minion you know will hit them. |
_____________________________________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________________________________
E: Make it Rain
Elaboration: Miss Fortune's only source of crowd control. This can help you gank and escape from ganks as well. It also reveals the area where you cast it, so it can be used to scout bushes or around corners in the jungle. |
_____________________________________________________________________________________
R: Bullet Time
Elaboration: Pretty awesome ultimate. If you're fed and get Bullet Time of in a team fight, it's going to be hard not to lose. This does almost 1000 damage to every enemy hit if they stay in it at level three. Ways to use Bullet Time can be found below.
|
_____________________________________________________________________________________
Mercury's Treads
Elaboration: I wouldn't consider getting any other types of boots on Miss Fortune except maybe Berserker's Greaves. The CC reduction is just invaluable and can save your *** many times against teams with lots of CC.

- First, gives you a ward to place in the bushes for those nasty gankers when top and bot fail to call mia (and yes, 3 out 5 times this is the case, lol).
- Second, it lets you farm much more quickly without having to result to using your abilities and burning through mana, while also helping to ensure more guaranteed last hits, even if you are just auto attacking away. This is because of the occasional 500 extra damage. (which seems to happen much more often than the numbers should allow)
- Third, the life steal is great off this item. While it doesn't give you as much when fighting champions, the extra 500 damage from minions makes this a HUGE advantage early game. And, if you are like me, I don't rely as much on life steal to keep me alive in a champion fight (MF is just to dang squishy). Once I finish the fight, I just pick up a few minions or monsters to replenish my lost life. Also, when compared to Bloodthirster, the 18% LS may pale compared to the potential 25% LS, but if you happen to die, it drops down to a 15% that then requires you to spend time rebuilding. Come late game, you might sell off WL to buy a BT, but you can't beat the early game advantages of the lantern.
Nuff said.
Infinity EdgeElaboration: The damage this item will give you is awesome. It works well together with your Impure Shots. The only downside to this item is it takes a while to build.
Phantom DancerElaboration: I typically get this after Infinity Edge, since they work so well together. Once you build this you'll have about 57% crit chance, and great damage.
The BloodthirsterElaboration: Another great item to boost your DPS. The lifesteal is also very nice if you find yourself in 1v1 situations, or in a fight 2v1.
I know your core items will seem a tad expensive, but I tend to find myself getting fed as Miss Fortune because of careless players, thus carrying us through the game.
Malady
Elaboration: This item I use for Hybrid Miss Fortune. It reduces their magic resist making Impure Shots' passive do more damage with each attack. Combined with Guinsoo's Rageblade, you're going to be able to do some crazy damage if you get your AP up, and their magic resist down.
|
Guinsoo's Rageblade
Elaboration: I use this for hybrid Miss Fortune. Can easily get your stacks up with auto attacks and her spell rotation.
|
Stark's Fervor
Elaboration: This item is completely viable because of the aura it gives your team, but I find myself building Bloodthirster a lot more often.
|
The Black Cleaver
Elaboration: If no one on the enemy team has enough armor to get Last Whisper (100 or more), this can be a nice replacement.
|
Trinity Force
Elaboration: Extremely expensive item, but the Sheen proc makes Double Up do crazy damage. The attack damage and ability power boost also helps pump up your Bullet Time damage nicely. I use this for Hybrid Miss Fortune, and sometimes regular attack damage Miss Fortune if I'm really fed.
|
Youmuu's Ghostblade
Elaboration: The active of this item is very nice and so is the armor penetration, but I feel like it can be replaced by Black Cleaver.
|
Banshee's Veil
Elaboration: Amazing item to counter the enemy casters if they're fed. I generally find myself building this almost every match.
|
Cloak and Dagger
Elaboration: If you decide to not get Mercury's Treads, you can replace them with this. You get some extra attack speed, but you don't get the magic resist Mercury's Treads gives.
|
Thornmail
Elaboration: This item will completely shut down the enemy AD carry, so build it if they are doing well.
|
I know Frozen Mallet isn't on the cheat sheet, because the cheat sheet is just a basic AD carry build for people who accidentally randomed Miss Fortune in the loading screen. But I cannot stress this enough, Frozen Mallet is AMAZING on Miss Fortune. The health and slow is just invaluable when you can't get red buff. And even if you do have red buff it's still really nice. For the people who took the time to read this far, feel free to replace Last Whisper or Banshee's Veil with Frozen Mallet. It's just an amazing item on her 100%. I find myself replacing Banshee's Veil more than Last Whisper, but you can make that decision yourself, based on if their AP carries are carrying, or the tanky dps champions with 500 armor. Always get Frozen Mallet if you can.
I have tested AP carry Miss Fortune and it is completely viable as long as you know your team can protect you, and you have some good DPS like Vayne or Kog Maw
_____________________________________________________________________________________
Because of the Xerath patch making Miss Fortune's ult additive, I have been experimenting with hybrid Miss Fortune. The picture below didn't last long enough for me to finish the full build, but I did pretty well. I have only done one match with it so far, but I'm still experimenting. Here are some of my results testing out the build above.
My damage was actually pretty scary, and I was keeping up with the enemy AD Miss Fortune on terms of DPS. Hybrid Miss Fortune is completely viable and fun, but I would stay away from it if you're planning on doing competitive games.
Farming with Miss Fortune is pretty easy. She has the standard 550 range auto attack, so she can farm consistently without being harassed. Always remember while farming under your turret:
For caster minions, fire an auto attack, let the turret hit them, then fire another auto attack.
For melee minions, let the turret hit them twice, then fire an auto attack.
For tank minions, you can let the turret get them low enough for you to kill them with an auto attack. Or if you're not sure your auto attack won't be able to kill it, don't be afraid to use Double Up to get them.
First area, you can fire it behind the turret where the enemy could be taking a blue pill. They usually won't expect the sudden bullets out of nowhere, and it might net you a kill. Examples can be found below.
In team fights, you need to find a good spot where you can use Bullet Time without being focused down too quickly. And trust me, you will be focused down quick. I usually try to ult while in brush, so the enemy will have a harder time targeting me.
No, I'm not telling you to command Miss Fortune to jump in the air and start spraying the ground with bullets. This picture helps represent that Miss Fortune is supposed to stay behind her team, letting them take the brunt of the damage while you continue to destroy the enemy team.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
In team fights, your job is to stay behind the tanks, use your Frozen Mallet/Red Buff to kite and slow the enemy team, and keep pumping out consistent damage. Make sure you don't get in range of any of the enemy assassins, because even if you build some survivability, you're squishy and can get focused down quickly. If you see that the enemy team is bunched up, have your tank initiate, then cast Make it Rain and Bullet Time in quick succession. The enemy team should get very low if you can get this combo off. It shouldn't be too difficult to use your Double Up and auto attack to finish off the rest of the team.
