Hello,
My nickname is Emqin (AmKing) and I am WU otp for a good amount of seasons.
I had fun playing this build and I wanted to make a guide on it.
I peaked this season Master in SQ EUW, with this build and it is a fine build imo. Right now, I am fluctuating between D3-D1.
Hope you will enjoy it <3 Not the best build but it has its ups and downs.

The main idea of the build? Rush that sweet armor reduction combined with armor penetration and lethality and you are going to deal bonus damage to your enemies, while having the Attack Speed of BOTRK build and the Lethality of the Assassin one.
So how does it work -


Out of what's left comes

Out of what's left comes

And after that, the Lethality applies.
Note: Armor Reduction gets up to an amount of approx. 53% and all of your team members profit from it, on the other side the Armor Penetration is self-focused, so only you will consider it.
At the end



You started the game and your jungler starts bot? Yes> Cheese your toplaner.
Your passive combined with
Wukong's E (
Nimbus Strike) is a strong combo that can be easily abusable and because of that you should be able to win almost any 1v1s, not only that, but you may have the upper hand by pulling up the
Ignite.
If you are Blue Side, try waiting for your enemy in the tri-bush.
If you are Red Side, try waiting for your enemy in the long bush from the river.
In both cases, be aware of the jungle not rushing in to help him, but most probably he won't come to help and you may be able to even get an early kill.
What should I do if I got the kill but minions are also on lane and the enemy TopLaner came back with TP?
If you are below 30% hp you should go base, but in the other case, pop your red pot and try to push the wave into the tower. If the wave enters tower and it is going to reset, recall asap and get your long sword(s).
In general, I take a passive stance and I will ask for my jungler to come on my lane to break the freeze (Remember that he started on the opposite side of the map so he will be pathing to top, a simple ping on your lane for help and writing in chat come to break the freeze should be enough for him to path to your lane after red and to give you the opportunity to go base without losing much.
In the case, none of the above worked out, recall when he is holding the minions for reset. You will most probably lose a wave or 2, but you should be able to return the freeze coming fresh from base.
You are running
Relentless Hunter in your runes so you will be decently fast on lane.
Since the way you are playing to Mid Game is based on your enemy, I will try later on give an example of the lanning phase based on types of enemies.

Pre-transition to Mid Game
Some people are using minutes to determinate when the Mid Game starts, others are using First Tower as the main objective that stats the Mid Game or lane swaps, or just when plates come down and chaos unleashes over the map.
For how I play this build Mid Game starts when there are no more plates on the lane that I am, and when I say no more plates, works for both me and the enemy laner. So if I am the one who gets the tower down first, in general, I like to come back to my lane and pull up a freeze (

Mid Game
You should now be able to look up for objectives near you and try to help your team if they put up fights, the fact you lack a TP comes in handy for your enemy team, so if there are no objectives, either continue to do the same stuff you did in Pre-Mid Game or try to gank lanes, but before leaving to gank, if you are ahead, set up the enemy minions into a slow push, so the enemy toplaner will be scared too close to your 2nd tower, in fear you might set up a trap for him. You can later on fake the fact you are leaving your lane and pull up a trap.
I like to finish

Sorry for the grammatical mistakes or my way of spelling out things, I am not that great at explaining stuff, but I tried to make it as easier as possible.
Thanks for passing by!
