Item Build Description
Additional information on the items
Choose your FIRST ITEM accordingly .
Youmuu's Ghostblade
is great for gangking in general (bonus MS from passive, some flat pen, Huge AD plus 25% AS) .
Black Cleaver
on the other hand is great for shreding enemy's AR . I usually pick this first if i face a good 1v1 jungler champs or just tank jungler (Amumu, Olaf, Xin Zhao, etc) and i intend to invade, it gives you some HP, some AD, some Ability Haste and bonus MS make it easier for you to stay in your enemy's face .
Phantom Dancer
gives AS, fasten your reload and combo . it's passive helps you since graves is face to face kinda champ .
BOOTS
[mercury's thread] if facing a lot of CC champs, [ninja tabi] for tanking autos,
Gluttonous Greaves
if you feeling spicy .
Upgrades are depends on your playstyle, I personally play really agressive so i take [ionian stoneplate] (they buff it in this patch) or [ionian statis]
LAST 2
See what's happening in the match so far and what you need .
Death's Dance
and
Guardian Angel
are a safe option, it gives you sustain and armor so you can go more crazy .
Bloodthirster
also gives you shield + AD . if you need more firepower get
Infinity Edge
. if you say playing againts Mundo, just sell your Black Cleaver and get
Mortal Reminder
remember to always take a breather everytime you tele back to base, open the scoreboard and see enemy's stat (how much ad power do they have ? does somebody building ap? is enemies AR too high?) and buy items around this information .
