How to play
General
You rush Iceborn Gauntlet #1, then you need to adapt your items to the game. Enemy team heavy on AP? Buy MR. They heavy on AD? Buy Armor. You need some damage? Well buy that.
You can rush Imperial Mandate #2 if you can afford it, this makes this build more fun. However, if you are behind, it is okay to just skip it.
There's great synergy between Iceborn Gauntlet + Imperial Mandate + Font of Life. You create frozen pools that will persist for a few seconds, slowing enemies, applying Imperial Mandate debuff + Font of Life heal mark for your allies.
For more utility oriented build, you can get Locket of the Iron Solari (sustain) or Shurelya's Battlesong (engages).
Triumph rune is better overall (heal and gold), but if you want to have easier time with your mana, go Presence of the Mind.
Remember to consume your Grasp of the Undying procs!
Tips and Tricks
Champion
You can cast Leap of Faith (R) then Flash into enemies. They will have less time to react, you will get more Tentacles and you can burst them easier.
Riot
Tentacles are an immense source of power. Don't fight without them.
Spirits inherit their target's current health. If making a Vessel is your goal, try whittling your opponent's health down a bit first to make killing the spirit easier.
Leap of Faith is best used to follow-up a strong engage or when being engaged upon. Be careful about being the first one into a fight.
