How it works

General

  1. You play poke oriented Mage.
  2. You rush Luden's Companion.
  3. You build AP items, going full damage.

How to play

General

  1. Playing AP Zeri build, your default rush is Luden's Companion. In cases, when an enemy team is full of tanks and HP stackers, go Liandry's Torment.
  2. Adapt to an enemy team. Are they full of tanks, and they rush tons of Magic Resist? You rush Void Staff as #2 or #3 item to counter MR stacking. Their team has champs with lots of healing? Rush Oblivion Orb as #2 item (upgrade to Morellonomicon as 4th or 5th item).
  3. Somebody is going after you each fight? Always getting ulted by enemy assassins? Rush Zhonya's Hourglass.

Champion

  1. This build is all about burst and deleting enemy champions.
  2. Your combo is to: make sure you have fully charged Passive, then (First Strike) + E (Sudden Impact) + R + Auto + followed up by W, Qs if needed.
  3. You can play with Dark Harvest instead of First Strike, for more consistency.
  4. Wait for First Strike and proc it with your combo, to deal damage and earn gold.
  5. Be careful to not get poked, because you waste First Strike procs.
