How it works

  1. You are going Guinsoo's Rageblade, building Attack Speed and On-Hit items.
  2. Thanks to Guinsoo's Rageblade, your On Hit effects are gonna trigger two times every third Attack.
  3. You are gonna play Carry for your team.

How to play

  1. Build On-Hit items!
  2. Usually Guinsoo's Rageblade is not good first rush. Get it as #2 or #3 item.
  3. Your first item should be adapting to enemy team:
    • If they have tons of HP stacking bruisers/tanks - go Blade of The Ruined King.
    • If they are super magic damage heavy / CC - go Wit's End.
    • If you want to become more tanky - go Titanic Hydra.
    • Since it works well with you champ, you can go Nashor's Tooth as well! It gives you nice On-Hit effect, some AP and also boosts your abilities. With this, you can build some AP (for example, you can get Zhonya's Hourglass as defensive option) or even benefit from some support buffs that give AP.
    • Statikk Shiv is a great scaling teamfight item! Its chain lightning applies all your on-hit effects (Blade of The Ruined King, Kraken Slayer, Wit's End, etc.) to secondary bounce targets, letting you shred multiple enemies at once.
    • Otherwise, you can get Kraken Slayer.
  4. You need some time to ramp-up your damage (runes, items etc.), so position well and keep auto attacking!
  5. Remember to use Titanic Hydra active! It deals additional damage and also resets auto attack timer!

Tips and Tricks

Champion

Soul Ignition
Soul Ignition (W)

  1. The heal at the end is based on damage taken, so activate it right before a trade starts, not after it’s over. The movement speed is also good for dodging skillshots.
  2. You can cast it while under CC.
  3. Soul Ignition (W) gives you Attack Speed and Move Speed, but it costs you health. Save the activation for when you are going all in - the end-of-duration heal rewards you for fighting through it.

Ashen Pursuit
Ashen Pursuit (E)

  1. If you get a champion takedown while it’s active, the cooldown resets and you can cast it again even though it’s already active.

Purgatory
Purgatory (R)

  1. Every champion you execute with Purgatory (R) makes you permanently stronger. Prioritize securing kills with it.
