Item Build Description
Additional information on the items
Starting Items : You always Start with Long Sword since the other starting items just doesn't make sense to purchase obviously.
Mid Tier Items : Sheen is a must have on camille, Increases your Damage output by 2x and can potentially outrade everyone in toplane except Jax which I'll explain later.
Core Items : Trinity Force , [Deaths dance] are a must have items fo camille. Trinity Force just doubles your [Camille:1] damage by 1.5x since the Sheen proc can be converted into true damage. [Deaths's dance] is the Core Defensive/Offensive item, Really good for sustain and prevents you from getting bursted and the stats help camille in general ( Sterak's Gage can be replaced by Maw of Malmortius against AP heavy team)
Situational Items :
Bloodthirster - A good late game item if you are hard carrying and don't want to buy defensive items, the whopping 65 AD is a huge spike for camille's damage.
Frozen Heart - Cheap, Great stats / effect, what could you ask more? A relatively effective item against auto attack based enemies and since Sheen doesn't provide mana anymore frozen heart let's you stay in combat longer in late game that answers your mana problems
Thornmail - Better alternative than Mortal Reminder since the Pen you get from that item is wasted.
Force of Nature - Textbook staple item for Camille amazing stats with a godly effect. This item easily tops Maw of Malmortius
Camille Runes
Best Runes for Camille
You take if you can easily proc it. only time you swap out to conquer is when against Hard matchups where you can't properly proc grasp. You don't necessarily need conquerer since you already deal true damage with precision protocol and extra stats is much better than extra damage on a Champion thay already does well in that department.
Against Range/Hard matchups. You take triumph instead of hunter Vampirism because Camille's Precision Protocol Deals True damage and Physical vamp only heals off of physical damages, Not true damage.
My new Favorite Keystone Playstyle for Camille. The moment speed and sustain makes you more annoying and powerful that pairs really well with the hit and run Mechanic. Can be used all the time from different matchup if you want to have a safe Early game.

Combos
Learn how to maximize the champions potential
A standard engage tool whenever you are Flanking or simply engaging Against an enemy or group of them. Tactical Sweep will hit it's slow first so Hookshot stun is guranteed, Simply hitting your Tactical Sweep is already a huge CC for you to manuever around the targets.
Your very standard short-trade combo. It's very important to cancel the animation of your auto attack with Precision Protocol to minimize the time window while keeping the DPS in check, I recommend starting to pull this combo when you have Sheen since it's a bit risky to be Aggressive early Against certain Champions in the early levels. But if Against easy Matchups don't be afraid to bully the enemy laner.
Note that each Hit of Precision Protocol Provides movement speed so hitting the outer edge of Hookshot will be easy.
A good surprise combo to pull of an all in when you want to attempt an outplay or tower dive. Hookshot + Flash + Hookshot unfortunately doesn't work compared to her PC counter part.
Note that Hookshot doesn't have a huge hitbox grapple compared to PC so make sure it always hits the wall or else you'll be wasting it.
Bread and butter full combo, Engage with Hookshot and start with Auto attack cancel into Precision Protocol
Animation cancel your Tactical Sweep with The Hextech Ultimatum and you can still apply the Damage/slow even though you're invulnerable during your The Hextech Ultimatum
And by the time you after you The Hextech Ultimatum your second part of Precision Protocol will be ready and finish of the target with Auto attack + Precision Protocol
Fast Combo, Great for teamfights and want to isolate the AD Carry. You use Precision Protocol to get bonus MS and engage immediately with Hookshot and Tactical Sweep mid air. Immediately press The Hextech Ultimatum when you've closed the gap Against the enemy ADC. This will result for them to flash away while you've already used The Hextech Ultimatum to trap them this will usually kill any ADC if your team manage to follow up.
Camille Matchups & Counters
Detailed information on how to play matchups and counters
A free win basically and against tanks in general, 2 of your abilities deal HP Based damage Tactical Sweep and The Hextech Ultimatum , Precision Protocol deals true damage. Him stacking HP is basically suicide for him.
Mechanics
Camille obviously has mechanics too.
Trinity Force proc For Precision Protocol Your Precision Protocol has a 1.5 second Window before you can recast the true damage. Trinity Force has a 1.5 cooldown as well. Go to practice tool and Practice Auto attack into prefect Timing precision protocol. Note that there's an Audio cue before you can recast precision protocol and it takes an auto attack + any ability to take up that Exact 1.5 second window (practice this until it's a muscle memory)
Your Adaptive Defenses Shield. Your shield isn't based on the damage type of the enemy, your passive is based on WHICH type of damage being dealt to you more. You can get an AP shield from an AD Champion if they use their AP based abilities more than their AD based attacks. Good example is lee sin, His Tempest / Cripple does AP damage. If that's the damage you get hit first by him then you get an AP shield instead of AD even though lee sin is an AD Champion.
Always remember that Adaptive Defenses can absorb turret damage if its the Physical Damage shield. Don't be afraid to poke the enemy under tower.
Final Words
Thank You for read until the very end of this Guide, took me 2 hours to write everything down in mobile. Apologies if this guide was a little late off schedule.
Playstyle
Camille is definitely an interesting and fun Champion to use. Her complexity as a Champion and how rewarding she can be is what makes her Worthy to learn.this is what a camille 1v9 looks like with a heavy team. Perfect Macro can win impossible games.
