7th item/boots swap
Choices:
Asi - if you need extra survivability this item will make it so that you don't need to recall
Toxic Blade - just like with odysbow, silverbranch makes up for this item's lack of base power and provides the all useful healing reduction.
Berserker's Shield 60 power is huge plus you cap 40% pen and get additional power from silver thanks to berserkers 40% total aspeed boost.
The Executioner Get this if enemy front line has upwards of 300+ armor.
FYI: attack speed is capped at around 130-35% from items (2.5 a/m)
So after they gave it 10% pen failnot has become the go to item on pretty much all adcs and for a damn good reason. What does that item NOT give lol? it gives everything a carry could ask for: massive 20% cdr, power, 20 crit, penetration and crit boost for your whole team. INSANE! But not on Iza. Why? Well it is insane on iza too but there's one item that also got buffed and that's Silverbranch Bow. Silver was buffed so that hunters like Iza (artemis, apollo, cherno) that have massive attack speed steroids could diversify their building order and get back in the meta. Problem is that you can't fit them both into your build cuz you don't want to overcap % pen and you can't get rid of Atalanta's Bow and wind demon cuz they're both irreplacable plus you need all the attackspeed you can get so you have to choose one or the other and as a proud silverbranch fanboy i'd 100% get silver over fail on iza everytime.

Ninja Berserkers Asi Silverbranch Atalantas Odysseus' Bow sell boots for Qins
" so you have to choose one or the other and as a proud silverbranch fanboy i'd 100% get silver over fail on iza everytime." - lmao.
Also, why do you have a build with Poisoned Star as a lone crit item... That hot 15% crit...

The only way i have been able to make crit work and make it worth it and still get the bonus from the silverbranch passive is to run rage as the lone crit item. Any of the AS crit items suck for silverbranch concepts because all have sucky crit like you mentioned with poisoned, but also the AS bonus on them sucks as well in relation to those type of builds. I mean probably the lowest AS item i would use for silverbranch builds would be the crusher. Even though it's not popular anymore(and rightfully so) I have found that The Executioner still works pretty well for those builds even though I will run asi instead of it for flat pen early and some life steal most of the time.
I don't play izanami yet, but on artemis i will normally run Ninja Tabi Asi Rage Atalanta's Bow Silverbranch Bow and then Qin's Sais/ Odysseus' Bow or Toxic Blade last. The Executioner would probably work well in the last spot as well too..I just don't know if the extra AS/shred at that point for silverbranh with exe or the extra health damage from qin's in the last spot would be more beneficial vs tanky comps. I use Atalanta's Bow normally where rage is if i don't build crit and then Ichaival
Dude what are you talking about? You should 100% buy wind demon in a silver + rage build it gives you 35% attackspeed thats the 2nd highest after odysbow and berserkers' active hello?
Edit: You could argue that wind's passive is "unreliable" but is it really? How hard is it to crit someone with 60% crit chance to proc the passive? Not hard. Get wind dude.

i'll have to try it out and see but over the course of a match do you think that wind would perform at least as well as the steady output of an Ichaival(double the attack speed to get the silverbranch passive online faster and even though miniscule 5 more power plus it's own extra power passive), Qin's Sais(against tankier comps has 10 more power, 5 more as and the extra health damage).
Again, this is in the concept of silverbranch builds. If there was no silverbranch to consider I could easily see it.
Even at 60% crit that is 40% when the passive wouuldn't be up. Or what about when you only get one hit off on someone and they get away and it takes you more than 5 seconds to get to another fight and if it takes 2-3 hits to get a crit again? You also really wouldn't get much of an extra AS to power bump except when the passive was active, so at the start of most fights you would have to proc a hit to get a better AS to power bonus.
Going just Rage in a silverbranch build has been pretty functional for me and gives more flexibility at the end of matches to counter, I feel like.
Iza doesn't have problems critting at 60% bc her 1 compliments her crit chance and crit damage.
Rage is fine as a standalone crit item but wind is way too good for you to build ichaival or some dumb sht over it.

what I was saying is that 40% of the time you won't crit and when you start any new fight you won't get the flat power/damage output of another item until you proc the crit, which at times could take 1 or 2 shots even at 60%. That is why i was asking about the overall value of that vs the steady output of the other items.
Then build what you said so you can have as much power from silver as possible and hit a couple autos then compare.
So when you're getting crits, you basically ALWAYS want at least 2 crit items, even when one of them is Rage. Yes, you can just build Rage and the build will have a nice DPS increase. But adding something like Wind Demon helps put it into a crit % sweet spot. What makes it now more appealing than before is the added 10% pen.
I DO think people undervalue Ichaival. The high power and solid AS are great, and as long as you're building it with intention (to counter other basic attackers, esp those that try to gank you in the backline), then it's a very good item. But you can't ignore making sure you've covered your core stats.
Or same build but go boots, berserkers, asi early and don’t get Devo’s.
For me personally it's still hard to adjust to not building exe thats why i included it. But to be honest new Bersekreks insted of exe is probably all around better now. I'll update the build after i really figure out if like it or not.
The best thing since patch is that there's no 1 best build anymore. Or at least right now while the meta is still forming. Every item right now is like a "niche" item you build depending on what you feel like will make you the strongest. Best patch ive seen in a very long time <3
You are aware that Mage ADCs are dominant right now until they nerf Hecate next patch?
