How it works

General
  1. You are going to be building damage items, going AD and Crit.
  2. You are going to play carry for your team.
Azir Crit specific
  1. Soldiers (W) proc your On-Hit effects.
  2. Your Soldiers (W) do not crit! More crit and attack speed you have, less W you should use. So just auto attack with full build and do not bother using W at all.

How to play

General
  1. Azir Crit build. You go AD, Attack Speed and of course... Crit!
  2. Don't rush Infinity Edge. Usually go for it as #2 or #3 item.

Tips and Tricks

General
  1. You should stay near Sun Disk (Passive), whenever possible. It loses Armor and Magic Resist if you are too far.
Riot
  1. Be careful about putting down both of the soldiers stored by Arise! Unless you're going all-in, always have a soldier in your back pocket if you need to escape over a wall or if you misposition your other soldier and need damage now.
  2. In the lane, try to position your soldiers between the enemy's minions and the enemy champion. This way you can use them both to last hit and to project threat onto your lane opponent.
  3. Think of Emperor's Divide as a defensive ability first and foremost. Use it when the enemy engages on you or your allies. Remember that your team can walk through the soldiers summoned by Emperor's Divide and use this to your advantage when enemy melee champions engage on you.
  4. Be a bird!
