Nice guild! How about using Death's Danceas lifesteal item? I always build this one since it works with Q(spell vamp).

(17) |

Even though it's way more useful for champions that mainly deal physical damage it's main purpose works very fine (as you just said) with . Other lifesteal items can work better, depending on your playstyle and also you should consider that is a very aggressive sustain item.

Hey Das, since they recently increased the cost of Guinsoo's Rageblade, is it still worth building on Kai'Sa right now?

(17) |

Of course, but definetly not as first item! It scales very well with and is still very useful, even as second to fourth item.

Why does everyone call me 'Das' :( that's just the German article for 'the'...

Great guide! really appreciate the effort and work gone into creating this guide. Looks aesthetically amazing and I love the banner designs. Great job carefully explaining each aspect and glad to see you keep it updated regularly. Keep up the good work!

Thank you very much <3

Do you think rushing Guinsoo's first will still be applicable if its current state of stats from PBE come to live?
I'm really worried about that atm.

(17) |

No. That's why i am going to update the guide as soon as patch 8.6 rolls out :D
It's still a choice but there'll be better builds after 8.6.

the ability sequence is wrong, can you fix it please? ult rank 2 at lvl 10, only 4 ranks in W

(17) |

Interesting.. somehow I always forgot the lvl 9 upgrade there. Thank you for the notice! :) I think I fixed it now and it should work.

I'm currently experimenting on going with nashors tooth with trinity as the last two items. It gives you 40% cooldown reduction for her e and q, extra movement speed for her invisibility,over 100ap for the w evolve and lots of attack speed.
That makes my build to be rageblade, boots, infinity, hurricane nashors and trinity. It mostly depends on what you meet but i like this build since it evolves her whole kit and does some extreme bursts of dmg.

Keep in mind that has a passive called 'rage' which provides you only with half of the the movement speed, because it is halved for ranged champions. Therefore there could be better choices.

But I see what you want to do. Kinda like a hybrid on hit build, isn’t it?

Are there any other good 'one-size-fits-all' builds like the one he suggested?

You mean to evolve every ability and get the maximum out of it? Or what exactly do you mean with 'one-size-fits-all'?

Yeah I meant the former, evolve every ability

(17) |

Always depends on the ability you want your focus on. Hard to say now because of the changes coming in patch 8.6 but if you prefer her as ADC I wouldn't recommend a 'one-size-fits-all' build. It's way weaker than a full crit and full damage build. Here I'd stick atm with , and and after 8.6 probably with , or and again .

The other possibility would be midlane where a full AP build is definetly recommended.

The last way to go is jungle. Popular builds are , and .

If you decide to evolve and really want the 'one-size-fits-all' build as jungler you have to keep an eye on what do you need. You already bought the core items and therefore only need to build what is best for the situation. E.g. for some lifesteal or to improve your attack speed even more.

Thank you for the detailed reply.

I'll try to get used to Reaver and Runaan rush from now on. Looking forward to seeing the mid-lane AP build.

Hextech Gunblade will be better choice for fifth item instead of The Bloodthirster as it will give life steal with AD and AP to upgrade W

(17) |

Depends on what the enemy team builds. Of course it is helpful to evolve but as an ADC you use it pretty rarely and with focus on an ADC build with attack speed, crit and damage a full damage can provide you with more raw power instead of the utility provides. Although it's definetly a way to go. I'll add it to the guide, thank you :)

(1) |

I really prefer instead of . Is one of them way stronger or is it ok to play with my preference?

(17) |

At the moment seems stronger because of it's AOE spray for s passive . But if you prefer because you can play better with it, then play with it, don't worry!

(2) |

Will you update this -guide in the coming patches? will probably lose it's AP and the build could need corrections after that.

(17) |

Of course. There will always be patches which lead to build changes. I'll keep track of that :)

(3) |

Great guide! I really like your design and effort. Especially that you answer to every single comment.

(3) |

Me too! I love those -sytle banners for every section. Keep up the good work!

(17) |

Thank you very much <3 Of course I'll keep updating as soon as I'm able to!

Heeey, so i read your guide and I was thinking about the combo section of it. I've played some games and I found some "combos" that might be useful, even made a little video. Just wanted to be helpful because I really enjoyed your guide! Oh, and here's the link for the video: https://youtu.be/mlLAAukPY5M

Looks good! I will definitely adapt some of them, gonna work in the combo section today :)

Glad to hear that! very exited to see how it turns out
