Summary
Items
Early game
The Corrupting Potion is a good asset in the lane phase. You can spam your spells to push a wave when when you get the opportunity, return to base, then TP on your lane to make its use profitable.
Boots
- Sorcerer's Shoes is recommended if you aim to go on the offensive in order to maximize the impact of your spells.
- Mercury Treads is a good pick when you fear a match-up with heavy magical damage.
- Choose Ninja Tabi, on the other hand, against physical damage (against Zed or Talon for example).
Core items
- Hextech Protobelt-01 is the item you absolutely must get as soon as possible. It will allow you to get closer to your targets and clear the waves quickly if needed.
- Luden's Echo will give you a considerable powerspike of damage, and it's easy to proc his passive with an Q - Winds of War at maximum range.
Situational items
- Void Staff is highly recommended when magical resistance builds up within the enemy.
- Zhonya's Hourglass can be used to temporize.
- Morellonomicon offers some magic penetration and counter healing and regeneration.
- Rabadon's Deathcap can prevent the champion from running out of steam at the end of the game.
Match-ups
Tips & Tricks
- E - Justice Punch does not allow you to go through walls.
- The recovery time of Passive - Colossal Smash is reduced each time one of your spells hits an enemy champion (only once per spell).
- W - Shield of Durand cannot be interrupted by enemy control.
- The more you channel W - Shield of Durand, the longer the provocation takes.
- R - Hero's Entrance lands you on the target's position during launch.
Keep one of your two controls available to block your targets in your Q - Winds of War. - Wait until you get the passive shield back from W - Shield of Durand to take advantage of more advantageous exchanges.
- Be careful not to use your Flash while channeling W - Shield of Durand, or the spell will dissipate.
