I just did the math for 1 soulstealer and 3 archangel's and it is only approximately 6-7 ap less than 4 archangel's which means soulstealer is better because it costs 1000 less than one archangel. I hope my math is right enjoy mejai's. XD

I think you made a little mistake, since this build reaches like 1000 AP...
The AP from the Archangel Staves isn't calculated here.

gaybuild. Check mine. Archangels -.-' You don't even need it.
With this you have 329(430+ulti) AP with lvl18.

With my build, you have 700/800 + ulti (900+).
Then it doesn't even matter you are lowhp (still 2400)

I agree with Viegar. You should have soulstealer. It is a very cheap way to get more AP. Plus games I play never last long enough to get 2 archangel's let alone 4. And no, its not because I dont get kills, the opposing team surrenders when I get 20 stacks.

This is why you should take cleanse

This build does hit very hard except has no survivability, so any CC whatsoever shuts this build down because he dies so fast.

well i tried this out and u do get over 1000 ap with ultimate. kinda crazy but if you play smart with ryze you can probably get close to this build but maybe not all 6 items becuase the game would probably end sooner.

i dont know why people dont like this build, its ****ing amazing, i hit like a truck...no i hit like 20000 trucks

you can stack th ap% not mana per skill

Archangel's has a UNIQUE passive meaning you can't stack it

veigar >.< ur a fail if u think ryze should get soulstealer
its not very good with him
/about build/
it does get u lots of AP but if a tank gets enuf magic resist he'll be able to kill u or if warwick ganks u he can ult and (if magewick) his q will finish u off

OMG no soulstealer??? that is noob almost every AP champion needs soulstealer
