Item Build Description

Additional information on the items

Starter Items

  1. Sapphire CrystalSapphire Crystal to safely farm up for the first recall items. You don't need a lot of damage in the beginning.

First Recall

  1. Either Lost ChapterLost Chapter if you go full damage or Catalyst of AeonsCatalyst of Aeons if enemy team has tanks or if you suffer in the early stages

Full Damage

  1. Luden's EchoLuden's Echo for mana and early damage. Always rush this item first if you plan on going damage
  2. Ionian Boots of LucidityIonian Boots of Lucidity into [Stasis Enchant] to dodge potential burst/abilities. Also allows you to roam more freely
  3. Lich BaneLich Bane for a good powerspike. Auto attack between abilities for maximum damage. Also grants mana which is a good aid for spamming abilities
  4. Rabadon's DeathcapRabadon's Deathcap will give you a crazy amount of ability power with the items you previously bought. This item will turn you into a very powerful foe at this stage
  5. MorellonomiconMorellonomicon will grant you healing reduction which is a must have with the amount of healing in wild rift. It also grants you health and ap to make you a bit bulkier and give you more damage
  6. Void StaffVoid Staff is a final item that can be replaced with an item from the flexible build if the enemy team doesn't have too many resistances. But otherwise it is a good nail in the coffin to finalize the build

VS Tanks

  1. Buy Tear of the GoddessTear of the Goddess to start stacking but don't finish Archangel's StaffArchangel's Staff until you buy Rod of AgesRod of Ages
  2. When you have your tear, rush Rod of AgesRod of Ages to get it stacking. That way you can upgrade your [tear of godess] into Archangel's StaffArchangel's Staff afterwards and have them at max stacks at roughly the same time
  3. Ionian Boots of LucidityIonian Boots of Lucidity into [Stasis Enchant] or Teleport EnchantTeleport Enchant to dodge potential burst/abilities or faster roams to other lanes and objectives
  4. Liandry's TormentLiandry's Torment as by this stage the enemy team should have a decent amount of health and maybe even 2-3 finished tank items. It will allow you to shred through them like butter
  5. Rabadon's DeathcapRabadon's Deathcap will solidfy your damage with the first two items you bought. At this stage you should be able to more or less one shot a tank if they don't have too many resistances
  6. Void StaffVoid Staff or Rylai's Crystal ScepterRylai's Crystal Scepter as a finail item. Void staff if they have a lot of magic resistance, or rylai's if they focused on armour and have a lot of health

Flexible Items

  • Infinity OrbInfinity Orb is good if the enemy team starts building light magic resistance in the early and mid game. It still allows you to penetrate and last hit them without investing too much into penetration
  • Awakened SoulstealerAwakened Soulstealer is good if you snowball in the early stages and manage to pick up a decent amount of kills. Lets you get even crazier
  • Teleport EnchantTeleport Enchant is good if you decide to play safe during the game and need to follow up on enemy roams. E.g. Enemy aurelion sol pushes in mid and flies to top lane. You can push back and use teleport to follow him.
  • Rylai's Crystal ScepterRylai's Crystal Scepter is only good in combination with Liandry's TormentLiandry's Torment to shred through tanks without magic resistances
  • Shadows EnchantShadows Enchant is good for catching enemies and giving your team vision which can be useful for long range snipes.

Aurelion can't do anything against you as long as you keep your distance. You have twice as long range as him, so just throw everything you have at him and don't walk up too close.
