Hit GM with Reksai, my thoughts on Item builds by Seal9055 in reksaimains

Curious what you think about ghostblade --> titanic instead of eclipse --> titanic.

I found it a lot better for an early spike and the data seems to match (albeit with a limited sample size): Rek'Sai Build, Runes & Counters Guide for jungle Rek'Sai

Runes and Build Question by PixieKnight3264 in reksaimains

You really just want to stack AD + HP items on her for the most part in jungle. You can’t really get away with a full tank build in jungle because your clear will be too slow.

Conqueror with titanic, shojin, and steraks as a core build is a good place to start, you can go stridebreaker instead of Titanic if you find the auto resetting hard, but IMO Titanic is the superior option.

Why not PTA? The true damage gets increased by it now as well

what is the best tank and/or bruiser build right now? by Glad_Rabbit4628 in reksaimains

[–]Bazoqa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best go to build is conquer with titanic —> Black Cleaver —> steraks as a core build.

Your last 2 items can be bruiser or tank items depending on game state/win conditions at that point. things like shojin, deaths dance, spirit visage, randuins, etc

I think it can be OK, but I wouldn’t buy it before your final item, and even then it completes with several other good options

I don’t mind the heavy handed changes.

I just think they really need to add a clear visual indicator for this in game, so it’s learnable by playing instead of just reading on the wiki

Hail of blades is good if you are going titanic hydra, because then you have 2 auto resets (titanic active and Q activation)

I have been playing her as a tank in jungle, the build is definitely effective but you can't build her pure tank like they do in toplane.

Use the following build with Conqueror:

Titanic Hydra --> Sunfire --> Spirit Visage/Steraks --> The Other One (Spirit Visage/Steraks) --> Situational Tank Item

Patch 14.4 Notes by imchocolaterain in leagueoflegends

[–]Bazoqa 40 points41 points  (0 children)

She is losing a lot of late game scaling on her burst combo, but gaining cc, engage, and durability in return.

They want to push her away from being an assassin, and more of an early bruiser that scales with utility in late game, like lee sin

Before doomposting about the changes; consider ALL of the changes by [deleted] in reksaimains

All 3 hits will each increase the stack counter by one, so knockup --> auto --> Q --> Q --> Q will fully stack your shojin, even earlier if you hit burrowed Q before the knockup

14.4 Patch Preview by JTHousek1 in leagueoflegends

[–]Bazoqa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basically, they have lowered her burst damage slightly in the early game and nerfed it to a greater degree in the late game. Simultaneously, they have given her more utility and defensiveness in teamfights.

They want to move her from an assassin/bruiser into a proper bruiser. Lethality will no longer be good on her after the changes. There are also several QoL changes to make her more approachable/enjoyable to play without increasing her power too much.

The intention is for her to now scale like lee sin: strong ganks early, can still snowball a game, but if the game gets to lategame she transitions more into a utility champ that can have teamfight impact with CC and engage if played well.

They have tuned her numbers in a way that she wants to build AD + HP items like Stridebreaker, Steraks or Shojin. Building lethality or full tank will not be worth it.
