Iceborn Gauntlet (Attacks create a slowing field) as your first item, followed by Plated Steelcaps (Reduces damage from champion attacks) or Mercury's Treads (Reduces Magic Damage) depending on the situation. (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 Thornmail (Reflects damage and reduces enemy healing).
Maybe now it's time to think about upgrading your boot, invest in
Armored Advance (Grants Armor and a shield). You may want to replace it with Chainlaced Crushers (Gain a magic shield upon taking magic damage), 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.
