These are all alternative or situational defence items that can work on Achilles to counter the enemy team or not feel as weak into certain comps/items.
They do NOT need to be built every single game.

These are all of the relics that can work on Achilles to counter the enemy team or not feel as weak into certain comps/items.
Blink Rune and
Purification Beads are the main two that you will be picking up, the others do NOT need to be built every single game.
Sometimes I like to stagger the leveling between the Shield of Achilles and
Radiant Glory to get the % increased damage which puts more damage out through scaling on the
Shield of Achilles and
Combat Dodge.
Either way works as long as you max Combat Dodge first and
Fatal Strike last.
For Achilles' passive,
Gift of the Gods, in Solo start the game with it in damage stance and only change to defence once you purchase
Heartseeker.
In Joust start the game in damage stance and only change to defence once you purchase caduceus shield, unless you are playing double tank in which case change to defence once you purchase Heartseeker.
Also the item section of this build needs to be rewritten so do not take information from it for in game use.

As for the main build itself, Big damage, I don't know that I feel Caduceus Shield is a proper fit for him. It might be functional in specific cases where his team has multiple healers and he can help them get bonus healing when he's near them. However, his own heal isn't significant enough IMO to warrant that item over other options you can get. Perhaps I'm underestimating Caduceus or his own heal.
