Item Build Description
Additional information on the items
Start off your build with
Cloth Armor
, collect enough gold to upgrade it into
Chain Vest
, and buy
Ruby Crystal
for the bonus health.
Next, complete your core items set with
Randuin's Omen
for the crit attack and attack speed reduction, followed by
Thornmail
for the massive armor and reflective damage, and finally
Frozen Heart
to further reducing all enemies attack speed. When in the middle of a team fight, this will greatly reduce their combat damage output and your team can follow up after your CC combo.
Situational Items include:
Zeke's Convergence
after the buff is super effective in team fights,
Protector's Vow
if you want to give your team extra shielding, along with [locket enchant],
Sunfire Aegis
for extra damage at wave clearing and AoE damage, or
Warmog's Armor
for the regenerative capabilities.
The boots are as usual,
Boots of Speed
into
Plated Steelcaps
and finally into [locket enchant]. Your ability to shield your team is crucial in every team fight initiation.

Guide
Early:
Buy
Cloth Armor
for defense along with
Aftershock
and
Weakness
. Your early game armor is gonna be one of the highest in the match, over 110 armor at least. Enough to mitigate damage from any ADC. Be quite aggressive at level 2 and engage when the time presents itself. To get more chance of engage, let the enemy push to your tower and be aggressive to your heart's content. If you bring
Mastermind
in your rune, you can give good damage to towers and jungle objectives, helping your jungle in the process.
Mid:
You should have finished your
Randuin's Omen
and get
Bramble Vest
for the reflective damage in the middle of a team fight. Your
Randuin's Omen
will greatly increase your survivability. Once you finished your
Thornmail
and
Frozen Heart
, you can go in and be as aggressive as you like to be. Make sure you land your abilities CC and make the enemy days a living nightmare. The armor combination from all your core items and
Aftershock
will make you nearly invincible.
Late:
You should have at least 5 items, including your boot enchantment, and pressure the enemy base. In this stage,
Zeke's Convergence
is extremely useful if your team consists of 60 percent AD champions. The slow is amazing and the bonus AD for your team is great to bring any team fights in your favor. You should have nearly 600 armor and could stay in a prolonged period in any engagement.
