Build Notes


penetration items
Maldição SanguináriaBloodletter's Curse
CriptofloraCryptbloom
Cajado do VazioVoid Staff
you need to have 1 of these items, how to choose between them?
Maldição Sanguinária: you do it when your champion applies it easily like Lillia or Brandwhen your team has 2 or more AP champions.
Criptoflora: if your main targets don't have much magic resistance mr and when you are a more utility mage, like Mel, since you benefit a lot from the CDR status cdr
Cajado do Vazio: when your main target has a lot of magic resistance mr and you are an offensive champion that doesn't need that much CDR cdr or just needs more damage, like Syndra.
defensive items
Ampulheta de ZhonyaZhonya's Hourglass
Véu da BansheeBanshee's Veil
Ampulheta de Zhonyaagainst AD assassin and Véu da Banshee against AP assassin. they can be made regardless of order, it depends on how the game is going and how much you need a defensive item or when you need help with some type of crowd control, like the first skill of Lux or ultimate of Nautilus.
Anti-heal
Orbe do OblívioOblivion Orb
Make it as a second item against compositions with a lot of healing, like Aatrox or Soraka


Anti-Shield
Tridente da OceânideOceanid's Trident
Make it as a second item against compositions with a lot of shields like Sett,Seraphineor Lux, or even against champions that you know will build the item Encantamento da Placa Gargolítica, like Amumu for example.





Main rune
Cometa ArcanoArcane Comet
→
Ímpeto GradualPhase Rush
Colheita SombriaDark Harvest
Cometa Arcanois the most consistent, but you can use Ímpeto Gradual against champions that get close to you very easily, plus the rune helps your skills come back faster. We can also use Colheita Sombria, I don't like it much but there are matches against champions with low health that it even deals considerable damage throughout the match.
