How it works

General

  1. You go Full Crit.
  2. You go in and play around Hail of Blades to burst enemies.
  3. You back away and wait for Hail of Blades. Repeat.
  4. This build works best if enemy team has squishy champions. If you are against a lot off-tanks/bruisers, this might not be best build. You can make it work by:
    • You can get Lord Dominik's Regards early (#1-#3 item).
    • If they are stacking HP you can buy Blade of The Ruined King. It's gonna delay your 100% crit, but it's gonna counter them and give you sustained dmg.

How to play

General

  1. This build shines with 100% crit. You will instakill squishes. Until that, it might be challenging to 100-0 anyone. Look for opportunities to go in and score kills. Also focus on farming minions if possible (to scale faster).
  2. Wait for your moment to go for a kill. You have a big burst thanks to Full Crit and Hail of Blades, but you are squishy. And outside of Hail of Blades procs (especially early game) you don't have much damage.

Core items

  1. Your core items: The Collector, Essence Reaver, Infinity Edge.
    • Usually, fourth crit item is Lord Dominik's Regard
  2. You rush either The Collector or Essence Reaver.
    • The Collector is default option, most versatile.
    • Essence Reaver, when you can reliably use its proc.

Spectral Cutlass

  1. Spectral Cutlass can be awesome item for this Full Crit build that lets you make plays, especially early and mid game.
  2. You can get and stick with its subcomponent early - Lifeline. It has the same cooldown. You can test it, if it works against enemy team.
  3. Spectral Cutlass might not be best late game item (depending on the enemy comp). You can sell it and get other item late game.

During game

  1. Snowball / Mark is an essential cooldown for this build. Do not waste it or even wait to hit the enemy at point-blank range to ensure hit (so you follow them, if they Flash).
  2. Enemy team might not check your items right away, you could use that for your advantage to nuke unsuspected enemy.
  3. After they checked your items and noticed that you have damage and are squishy, they are going to target you in fights. Be careful, after early game probably you need to modify your playstyle and stay back and wait for a good moment to join fights.

Gameplay

  1. If they have tons of CC, get Mercury's Treads, Edge of Night or even Mercurial Scimitar to counter that.
  2. If you are not doing well, or an enemy team is slightly ahead, you can adapt and buy tank items. Worst case scenario, you can sell everything late game and 'respec' into full tank.
  3. Spectral Cutlass trick - use Spectral Cutlass, go in, then hit Mark in point blank range, Spectral Cutlass out and go in with Mark again!

Tips and Tricks

Champion

The Relentless Storm (Passive)

  1. Weave autos and abilities to stack faster and maximize damage from The Relentless Storm (Passive).

Sky Splitter (E)

  1. Want to hit Sky Splitter (E)? Trick enemies by facing another direction when casting it.
  2. You can pretend that you casted E by using emojis to confuse enemies.
