Item Build Description
Additional information on the items
As wise man once said (If from defeat you wish to be secluded, have mana because your stupid). In short, mana will allow you to spam your skills like there's no tomorrow. Start the game with
Sapphire Crystal
and then go for the
Tear of the Goddess
.
After that, get a nice
Luden's Echo
since this item is one of
Orianna
's powerspike items, and then go for
Ionian Boots of Lucidity
. After that, you should be able to finish
Seraph's Embrace
, so complete this item since it will offer a lot once it's fully stacked.
Rabadon's Deathcap
is always a good item, just keep in mind that it's expensive as freak.
The rest of the items can be changed quite often. Try to figure out what the enemy team has and what you lack, and buy items to compensate for all of them.

Combos
Learn how to maximize the champions potential


This is a basic poke. Send your ball to where the enemy is and try to use
Command: Dissonance
as fast as possible.



When performing this combo, make sure that the enemy is not too far away from you so that
Command: Protect
will hit him when the ball gets back to you.



When using your ult, popping
Command: Dissonance
beforehand will make it easier to hit, since it will slow the enemies down.


You can also use a teammate as your anchor (or bait) to use your ult. This is especially good if the whole enemy team is on top of him.
