- Not so useful without rat-ta-tat-tat
- Always needs a good position(as all ADCs)

I don't have a lot to tell about the masteries.18/12/0 will be your setup for
Twitch
Ferocity
Fury
gives you bonus Attack Speed,
Feast
gives you 20 Health every 25 seconds,
Vampirism
gives you Life Steal and Spell Vamp,
Bounty Hunter
gives you extra damage if you kill a unique champion,
Battering Blows
gives you Armor Penetration and
Fervor of Battle
gives you damage based on Fervor stacks.
Cunning
Savagery
helps you waveclear a bit easier due to the bonus damage on minion(you have
Deadly Venom which helps you waveclear too),
Runic Affinity
and
Assassin
can't help you because you are ADC and you have your Support always by your side so I pick
Secret Stash
.
Merciless
helps you kill someone faster and
Dangerous Game
gives you Health and Mana for every kill.

Exhaust is a pretty useful spell mostly on supports,because they can exhaust the enemy damage dealer and save your life or slow a low health enemy and help you kill him.In this situation,you take

During teamfights,you activate rat-ta-tat-tat to harass and kill the enemies.However,you need to focus on specific targets.Your priority goes Mid > ADC > Top > Jungle > Support.If you focus support,you use your ultimate for nothing.If one enemy is fed,you will focus him in teamfights.
You also need a good position in teamfights which

![](/images/spacer.png)
Note #1
If you have the right position, rat-ta-tat-tat can damage both nexus towers with every shot.
Note #2
You can damage a turret when you trigger rat-ta-tat-tat and you will outrange them.They can't hit you but they can reveal you.
Note #3
rat-ta-tat-tat can't hit inhibitors and nexus.

During mid game you should have your core items bought(
Blade of the Ruined King,
Youmuu's Ghostblade and
Berserker's Greaves)and you will be able to push your lane easier because you will win the trades.Your 1v1 potential will be amazing but you will be with 0% Critical Strike in teamfights. rat-ta-tat-tat will do a lot of damage if played correctly but you won't land critical strikes.
However,there is an alternative build from your core that starts with
Runaan's Hurricane,then you buy
B. F. Sword in order to build
Infinity Edge.This will lower your 1v1 potential significantly because you will play more as ADC rather than an Assassin.However,
Runaan's Hurricane passive will help you waveclear,push lanes and add
Deadly Venom stacks.Your critical strike reaches 50% and it will buff your rat-ta-tat-tat.
Note:
Runaan's Hurricane passive is applied during rat-ta-tat-tat

There are 2 builds that you can choose,the Standard Build and the Alternative.This part of the article explains the Standard Build Items and this build is my preferred one.With this ability your playstyle is more as an Assassin rather than an AD Carry
Blade Of The Ruined King
The item that will save your game.It gives you amazing 1v1 potential with its active and that's the reason I build it first.Your waveclear will be a bit restricted and it will be difficult to recall to base for the first time having 3400 gold so your first buy will be
Bilgewater Cutlass.
Youmuu's Ghostblade
Youmuu's Ghostblade active is one of my favourite in the game because the bonus movement speed can lead to a successful escape or,in combination with the bonus attack speed,can lead to a deadly engage.Also makes rat-ta-tat-tat.You can also build
Youmuu's Ghostblade first because it has more damage than
Blade of the Ruined King and 10% Cooldown Reduction that can be proved useful in sticky situations.If you start to build it,buy
Serrated Dirk first because of its armor penetration.
Berserker's Greaves
Standard boots for AD Carries and very useful on
Twitch.Best boots for ADCs ever.
