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 CrystalSapphire Crystal and then go for the Tear of the GoddessTear of the Goddess

After that, get a nice Luden's EchoLuden's Echo since this item is one of OriannaOrianna 's powerspike items, and then go for Ionian Boots of LucidityIonian Boots of Lucidity . After that, you should be able to finish Seraph's EmbraceSeraph's Embrace , so complete this item since it will offer a lot once it's fully stacked. Rabadon's DeathcapRabadon'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.

3. When moving around, spam Command: DissonanceCommand: Dissonance to speed boost yourself or allies and get to places faster.

4.Your Command: ShockwaveCommand: Shockwave is best suited for following up on engages, since it takes a second to fully cast.
