Blade of the Ruined King (Attacks deal bonus damage) as your first item, followed by Berserker's Greaves (Grants Attack Speed) (sometimes it will still be better to build a boot as the first item, which significantly increases the mobility of your champion) the third key element in our build is Yordle Runaan's Hurricane (Ranged Attacks hit 3 targets).
Maybe now it's time to think about upgrading your boot, invest in
Quicksilver Enchant (Dispels crowd control). You may want to replace it with Stasis Enchant (Turn invulnerable), it all depends on your playstyle and the situation on the battlefield.
