Key items
Long Sword. Next, you should pay attention to whether your mobility champion is enough, our further actions will depend on this. If it is hard for you to dodge the enemy's skills or you want to roam on neighboring lines, then it is better to buy

+18 Armor Penetration.

Duskblade of Draktharr TIPS: This item is a pure assassin tool: it boosts your armor penetration and makes your first strike on an enemy deal a deadly burst with a brief slow. Securing a takedown grants stealth and a fast reposition window, letting you escape or continue hunting—perfect for single-target picks. It shines on mobile killers who focus on quick executions and roams; it’s less effective against bulky, high-HP frontliners.
Boots of Dynamism
Attack Damage, Armor Penetration +10 Attack Damage
+45 Move Speed.
Strike: +8 Armor Penetration. 900
Boots of Dynamism TIPS: These boots are perfect for champions who rely on physical damage and need extra mobility to roam the map quickly.

Trinity Force TIPS: This item provides a well-rounded set of stats and enhances damage through the combination of abilities and basic attacks. It is ideal for champions who frequently weave abilities between attacks and rely on consistent trading. It works best on fighters and some mobile carries where versatility, speed, and burst damage in short skirmishes are important.

Stasis Enchant TIPS: This Enchant renders you invulnerable and untargetable for 2.5 s, but prevents movement, attacks, and ability or item use. Perfect for surviving critical moments against assassins and high burst damage.
Duskblade of Draktharr (Attacks deal bonus damage) as your first item, followed by Boots of Dynamism (Grants Attack Damage and Armor Penetration) (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 Trinity Force (Well-Rounded).
Maybe now it's time to think about upgrading your boot, invest in
Stridebreaker (Slows enemies nearby after a short dash). You may want to replace it with Stasis Enchant (Turn invulnerable), it all depends on your playstyle and the situation on the battlefield.
The remaining last three items are situational, of course you can use the example builds above. But for a more effective game you will need to pay attention to the situation on the battlefield.
