This is how you're going to leave base. You're getting bonus basic attack damage and extra MP5 from Hunter's Blessing, and it's passive effect is everything you want.
Spiked Gauntlet will give us some sustain and a little bit of physical power, and the potions will also allow us to stay in lane longer and be a bit aggressive.
These are the items you want to buy first for Apollo.
Devourer's Gauntlet, at full stacks, will give us 24% Lifesteal and 75 Physical Power, which are quite the numbers.
Ninja Tabi will increase our mana by 100, give us another 20 power, 20% attack speed and the common 18% movement speed.
Ichaival will give us 30 Physical Power and 30% attack speed, while it's passive makes
Apollo assume the role he was born to be, the ultimate boxer.
In this build path, we're going to rely on the power of Crits, while also getting a bit of penetration to power them up even more.
In this other build path, we'll be relying on penetration and the sheer damage Apollo can dish out with his
So Beautiful, coupled with his barrage of auto attacks. Also, if you're using this build path, I recommend you get
Warrior Tabi in the place of
Ninja Tabi!

The other option is, go Ninja > Trans > Asi > Exe > Fail-Not > Deathbringer > Sell boots for Wind Demon.
You could try that one if you think the Fail-Not third is too early.
Edit: Compared to the first build I gave it has worse AA-DPS, but you have an advantage in lane due to the price of Rage VS Fail-Not at third item. (well... AA-dps wise).
My primary concern with your build is the
IMO, Ichaival contradicts itself right now. The price suggests that it is a end game item, but its passive will be more useful during eary/mid game, where you’ll be boxing the enemy ADC frequently.
This seems to be a concern that I share with other players, because I don’t see Ich being built anywhere, whenever it’s in my games, high elo rankeds or even in SPL.
I’d like to hear your reasoning behind this item choice, if possible.
But considering price, and how people often go Trans / Tabi / Asi, it's very comparable to Devo's / Tabi / Ich.
But it's fine in the 3rd spot given the right situation, especially if you're going Devo's + Warrior and need a solid boost of AS.
Writeup is solid.
Okay in general with the build path, but will note strong preference for the crit path as it's displayed.
Your "Penetration Boy" build path is severely inefficient with regard to the AS cap. You're mostly fine as you get to

But the build is for Conquest, but I could add an Arena and an Assault build if you think it's worth it!
