About Soul Reaver!

In my previous guide, some people were outraged by my opinion about this item.
So i am explain, why this is a bad choice!

In 8 season it lose 10% of penetration, And now, what we get: + 95 of power,
which is not impressive, and 300 useless mana points (describe later). And, of course, passive ability, which give us +27 dmg from ult, for example, without penetration, vs average 2000hp person (experimental Ra in Jng training). If we pick 20% of penetration with same power we could get about +80 from ult, and add dmg for all of our attacks.
So, for the same money we can afford to take more power, and other usefull attributes instead of mp, like penetration or CDR. That's why my previous guide was contained Charon's coin, which was more effective even with less power.

Basics

I will not describe the abilities and their application, since you can already read this in the game. Let's analyse what attributes priority we have:

MP5.
We need it at start, and mid game, it's our ability to deal regular damage and live.
Magical Power.
It's core of damage deal for mages, obviously.
CDR.
We have a large procast with a long total time to realise it. That's mean our advantage is regular damage, and only way to get it, reduce cooldowns of our spells, then we can to deal damage all of the time of teamfight.
Penetration.
Obviously important, but difficult mechanics requiring careful calculation. Often we can allocate only to slots, for not lose CDR, so we need have as flat, as a percent of penetration too. Flat is more useful in early and mid game, but in late game we must have some percent, to increase total penetration.
Movement Speed.
Agni is tiny boi, this dude is really artillery, and for realise his best tactics and mobility we need to be a bit faster than our enemies.

Why i said MP is not what we need?
Actually our main damage and spell we use more often is our free mp ulti (wow,
who could think of). And we always would have enough MP with one doom orb as in mid game, as in late game toо. By the way we compensate MP for MP5. Fast regen is greatly matching Agni's gameplay.

Gameplay

Agni's two gameplay tactics it's hit&run and artillery type. What is mean?

Hit&run agni is at least situational fighting model, or main for blood god, which mean that we have great mobility, rushed an enemy, give them our procast, and fast coming away.
How to do it?
U know that our Noxious Fumes
should be applied within a second after others abilities - it's still getting stun. our procast is a long time to done. So, if we rushing in 1 enemy, for example, with Blink Rune, our procast would look like:

We need to stun as late as possible in order to hit the enemy with all charges. That's why, after 1st ulti we cast our 2nd ability, cause they casting faster. Path of fire at the end for burn, catch up, or leave.

What about artillery time: we just stay we just stand at max range or behind a barrier, and regularly casting. More often, especially in this state we use fumes for escape or cathing up, so we need to remind saving starter and soul gem buffs for an ulti.

If we have Soul Gem we try to always have 3, or 4 stacks depending on planning procast model.

Antiheal

It's also important.

What if we need it?
In Burst build state i recommend use an relics, or entrust the team.

in case of Blood God duild u can freely change Spear of the Magus by Divine Ruin.

Only relics you'd ever need on Agni is Beads, Aegis, and sometimes Shell (for upgrade) over Aegis. Cursed Ankh doesen't make any sense, and Blink is kidna troll on Agni (there are a few mage mids that can use blink, Agni isn't a good one).

"which give us +27 dmg from ult, for example, without penetration, vs average 2000hp person (experimental Ra in Jng training).

As i wrote,item with % penetration could help u more. If u wanna, i can add tomorrow some calculation at the tank, but pls read again all what i said about this item.

I find it funny to see this as meanwhile both the build lack % pen. You only included 10% pen at the ultimate end of the build.
I think your inability do deal enough damage to solo laners and tanks will allow your opponent to close out games before you can get speed pot.

It's true. But the problem is that I was not able to increase the penetration without loss the other. Therefore, I have kept the necessary minimum.

I am sad to say but 10% pen is not gonna cut it especially not after speed pot. Also saying you used only 10% while you overcap on CDR makes this build loses more worth imo, the build progresses a lot better if you swapped tahuti with your slot 5 in both builds.

After recalc w/ soul reaver, i discover that doom orb can be changed at charon's coin, and get 30% like i wrote it in previous build. What about overcup - it would be a short time, but maybe change items would be better. Idk, people can take it how they like)

Cdr boots > Tahuti > Divine / Deso > Coin or Shard > Reaver > Archmage's > boots for Soul Gem is what i'd go on Agni.

Now they have taken the % pen off it which was bloated, you're meant to synergise the item with % pen if you want to take down tanks.

You don't see % pen on but you synergise it with the pen to hurt the tanks big time.

Even in 7th season it wasn't too good item by stats. Moreover, now, when we can take Tahiti, it deal much more impact. Trying to save slot with reaver is uneffective, i think. Nerf it was really mistake.

Well the thing is it's the ADC's job to shred tanks, it isn't so much for the Mid but obviously you have if high HP targets are an issue; such as fed Erlang Jungle with , King Arthur Solo who's won lane, Terra Support winning teamfights, etc.

It has very situational use for teams like that which have high HP. To say it wasn't a good item before they nerfed it is slightly ignorant of the amount of damage you would put out with it.
