Item Build Description
Additional information on the items
This build utilizes Ionian Fervor . To start, build physical Items with a long sword, then upgrade it to Blade of the Ruined King for its synergy with Ionian Fervor , followed by Sheen into Trinity Force for her core items as you keep using your Bladesurge resets. Then you can either build Solari Chargeblade or Wit's End , both have on-hit magic damage, which means your auto attacks deal extra magic damage with good synergy with Ionian Fervor . Finish your build with Mortal Reminder for it's Armor Penetration.
Your Boots of Speed upgrade goes to Gluttonous Greaves for the Physical Vamp and Enchantment is optional between Teleport Enchant , Quicksilver Enchant , or [Stasis Enchant].

Author's note
This build is not 100% perfect, I still have a lot to learn about this champion. But I can give some small knowledge I have after playing about 50 games with her with a 60 percent win rate. Hope this little, imperfect guide helps you in some way and you're free to give your suggestions and criticism to me. Thanks!
