Introduction






If the enemy team is mostly AP you can swap out the sunfire cape with a




Other Possible Spells:



This skill sequence is very good because it will allow you to have a very strong early game as which will set you up for mid and late game. Decicive strike in the early game can do from 1/3 all the way up to 1/2 of an enemy champion's health dependeing on the champion. Also judgement will allow you to escape, chase, and kill. Courage is not very importana except for its passive allowing you to get upto 25 extra armor and magic resist.
If you are solo top against two opponents, play defense until u are 1-2 levels higher than them, then when you feel the time is right get aggressive. if one of the enemies is a tank and one's squishy, attack the squishy first. after killing the squishy back off unless you think you can kill the tank. if you are laning against two squishies get aggressive very early and try to keep them out of lane as much as possible.
If you are laning with a teammate with CC, try to get first blood. after that it's mostly the same as solo except you should be aggressive the entire time.
If your lane partner does not have CC, find out who your laning against and if you think you can burst kill one of them go for it. then be aggressive the entire time.
If you are laning against a tryndamere, kill him as fast as possibe and keep him out of lane to keep him from getting to six.
No mater how you laning, after level four kill minions to get your bonus MR and armor. if you get low on health let your passive heal you, unless you need to buy something.

So, in summary, you will be able to gank, somewhat tank, and kill almost anybody. I average about 30 kills. I hope this guide helpped. If you have any suggestions for changes put them in the comments and i will try them out and edit the guide if i like the changes. And one last thing, try to have fun. It is a game after all.
