Once you have deathbringer maxed, you WILL be a death sentence to any mage, hunter, or assassin. Sneak around that back line, pick off their hunter and work your way up.Īt this point, your crit chance is going to be crazy high. The effect procs make you dangerous each kill. Plus the attack speed increase lets you put on more pressure. At third item, it's a LITTLE bit late in the match (serrated is pretty expensive) but the crit chance it gets when it evolves makes you an immediate danger to mages and assassins.

Rage is decently cheap for the crit chance it gives.

Additionally, because there is NO CDR help on this build at all, once you've begun your combo, by the time an opponent reacts, you will be at full proc for the item. Stacked with the lifesteal provided by the item itself, it helps with sustain and escape once the enemy team realizes you've pounced their backline. By doing the ccombo above, you already trigger 2 cooldowns, granting 20 extra physical power and 6% additional lifesteal. Because it relies on basics following abilities, the passive triggers almost at max immediately upon closing the gap. It's passive, directly compliments this build play style. Getting this as item number 2 not only gives you a speed advantage for eliminating runners, but the 20% early penetration helps to keep harassing warriors on their toes. Combined with the slow from horrible burns, you WILL be faster than them. With the removal of boots, a speedy assassin is a successful assassin. The biggest attraction with this item is the 20% physical Penetration and the 7% movement speed. Late game, it's a death sentence to mages, assassins, and hunters, and even some warriors and guardians. Because there is no cooldown on this bonus damage effect (but there is an 8 second timer to actually use it), you can combo Trickster Spirit->BA->Horrible Burns->BA for some very reliable and very deadly burst damage. This item DOES trigger when activating horrible burns. In addition, it provides MP5 and 10% CDR which just lets you use this more. As someone who started playing exclusive mage, this item reminded me of polynomicon without the cooldown.

Late game, it is the core gimmick of the build itself.

Early game it helps secure kills on those pesky early runners. Hydra's increases your next basic attack after using an ability by 40%. A damaging dash, burning and bleeding, even a teleport. Da Ji has some GREAT abilities and her bleeding effect makes her extra deadly.
