Item Build Description

Additional information on the items

Start by buying a Long SwordLong Sword and get a Serrated DirkSerrated Dirk for your first recall.

  • Youmuu's GhostbladeYoumuu's Ghostblade is a very good item on Lee Sin because he roams a lot and Youmuu's GhostbladeYoumuu's Ghostblade gives him the mobility and attack speed he needs!
  • Lee Sin has a ton of abilities that let him dash around in a teamfight, but he is very squishy and very easy to one shot. Guardian AngelGuardian Angel gives him the chance to get in and do a full combo without worry of dying easily.
  • Items such as Trinity ForceTrinity Force , Black CleaverBlack Cleaver and Death's DanceDeath's Dance increases the amount of damage you deal, gives bonus hp and ability haste. I recommend building one of these two in your build.
  • Lee Sin is best played like a bruiser, not an assassin, so a Lee Sin build should have up to two to three defense items. Sterak's GageSterak's Gage shield you when you're low and grants extra attack damage, build it when enemy does burst damage. Spirit VisageSpirit Visage increases the shielding on your SafeguardSafeguard , build when you see fit. Randuin's OmenRanduin's Omen reduces enemy attack speed and crit damage, build against high attack speed or crit reliant marksman like JinxJinx or Miss FortuneMiss Fortune . Adaptive HelmAdaptive Helm is the best item against mages like AhriAhri and OriannaOrianna , build it against teams that have a lot of ap burst.
  • Boots, take either [ninja tabi] or Mercury's TreadsMercury's Treads depending on the enemies composition, if they have more ad: go [ninja tabi], they have more ap: go Mercury's TreadsMercury's Treads . Afterwards, upgrade it to [locket enchant] or [stasis enchant] for survivability in teamfights.

Take Electrocute when you're playing assassin Lee Sin and planning on one shoting enemies.

Electrocute isn't really good in teamfights, so when playing this rune try to pick off their damage dealer instead of staying in the center of the fight.
