Item Build Description

Additional information on the items

Choose your FIRST ITEM accordingly .
Youmuu's GhostbladeYoumuu's Ghostblade is great for gangking in general (bonus MS from passive, some flat pen, Huge AD plus 25% AS) . Black CleaverBlack 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 DancerPhantom 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 GreavesGluttonous 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 DanceDeath's Dance and Guardian AngelGuardian Angel are a safe option, it gives you sustain and armor so you can go more crazy . BloodthirsterBloodthirster also gives you shield + AD . if you need more firepower get Infinity EdgeInfinity Edge . if you say playing againts Mundo, just sell your Black Cleaver and get Mortal ReminderMortal 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 .
