Small Talk

Glad shield for sustain
Anti-heal to counter your lane early
Warriors for lane clear
Pridwen procs when Nike casts so you get ult shield and Pridwen shield.

*If you started vs nonhealer but the enemy team has healers in other places, buy pestilence or contagion. Never build both, the anti-heal aura does not stack. Still build it even if someone else does too. Your team usually can use two anti-heal aura's effectively because you normally won't always have one where you need it.*

Nike's new Barrier Formation ability invented fun btw

is a strong item, but I'm not sure I'd consider it that early. The protections are only moderate, and while the 20% CDR is great, it has no health. Depending on your build to that point, you may not have gotten ANY items with health, and you really want a balance there.

Besides , you should also consider , IMO.

And you're missing other items like , , and other counter items like , , etc.

Yeah I think Pridwen should be built after blackthorn in this build considering the lack of mana sustain this build has.

(143) |

Also where's blackthorn, and the start where you rush glad shield (, , 3 s.)

(143) |

Wouldn't it be better to get at level 2? Also you should list more situational options.

(400) |

I think I'd probably get Leap at level 2. Standard mobility ability 2nd. With the faster leap, you can also combo/attack cancel it better, and the knockup is good for disruption.

(143) |

But doesen't her 2 disrupt/push minions, while dealing damage and then finishes with a bit of burst damage?

Yeah, but I think she'll get more damage overall if she just uses her basics. Oh, are you meaning push the minions all together, then hit them all with basics and the burst? Hmmm.

(143) |

Yeah.

(105) |

would probably let it depend on matchup/match if you need it to escape or hard engage
