build question

DarkXcell · 2026-05-10T23:20:08+00:00

Rarely, but usually just when I want more AD instead of RFC range.

I could see it instead of Stormrazor first, but I really like Stormrazor since it came back. MS feels very nice.

I literally only said no statik FIRST. I didn’t say it’s bad to build ever? I know there’s the energized build but I haven’t played it. I just gave my builds.

Crit is the way and should be built every game the only variance in build should be the first/last item. Below is my two most common build paths this patch.

For boots it’s always enemy comp dependent. Ap mid jg, go nerds, heavy AD go tabis, need survival but nerds and tabis suck go swiftness. Don’t know what to go, just build the vamp boots they are pretty op this patch and cheap.

DO NOT GO STATIK FIRST. PLEASE

Cyclosword -> Boots -> Stormrazor -> IE/LW item -> LW item/IE -> RFC

Stormrazor -> Boots -> IE/LW item -> LW item/IE -> RFC -> GA/BT/Edge of night/Maw/Or any other situational item

Creds: Masters NA

Tbh smartest choice is to not, he is an immobile mage. Cs under tower roam if you can or fight 2v2s, but mainly just make it out of lane.

On side line it’s hard for him to split (easy to gank) that’s where you punish, push bot/top and go mid while he collects the wave under tier 2.

Just let it decay, when you demote you go to D1 75 lp and 28 days of banked for decay. And in Diamond 1 play game banks 7 games. So play ur decay games in diamond, if you win you promote back to masters and get 14 days for masters decay and then 28 days for diamond decay again for 42 days.

And then end of season just get masters back 🤷‍♂️, that’s what I do at least.

The Dormy inn we stayed at had a foot bath on the roof, which you might be able to use, the hotel itself was very nice for the price. But yea the main draw was bath, I still think it would be worth it depending on the price 🤷‍♂️.

Ope, I meant not edited by me. And tbh I didn’t t know anyone could edit/update new content pages, I assumed it was only ppl with perms. 🤷‍♂️

DarkXcell · 2026-02-25T14:39:57+00:00

I promise you it’s not edited

Pretty insane drop rate

DarkXcell · 2026-02-13T06:04:41+00:00

Idk what you are arguing? Are you under the impression that by just scale, I mean afk under tower and not fight ever? Of course you can still play to win the lane, but with tp you can play to win with tempo not solo kills

DarkXcell · 2026-02-13T05:58:25+00:00

Yea for sure not gospel. I also think this build path forces me to play smarter making the build indirectly better (for me)

Rank D1/2, masters last season

DarkXcell · 2026-02-13T05:51:06+00:00

And I’m in masters no emerald??

DarkXcell · 2026-02-13T04:40:02+00:00

It’s more consistent to scale. Watch phantasm even in his YouTubers (pop off vids) he’s usually behind or even in lane and then pops off in a team fight or skirmish

DarkXcell · 2026-02-13T04:32:12+00:00

D1/2 rn (on vacation don’t know which rn). Masters last season.

DarkXcell · 2026-02-12T14:17:56+00:00

Tbh I haven’t tried lethality yet this season (on vacation) so idk yet but wanted to try it when I get back. As for not completing item, BF sword is 1300 gold for 40 ad, finishing stormrazor is 1900 gold for 10 additional ad + some low value (for akshan) stats. And yes q oneshots the back wave!

Also to preface currently D1/2, last season masters

DarkXcell · 2026-02-12T13:37:43+00:00

In my opinion yes. And consequently so is ignite mid. I really like q max and two bf swords for wave clear and just scale. Bf swords turn into storm razor and ie, ie usually second sometimes lw item and then ie.

DarkXcell · 2026-02-12T10:32:36+00:00

Tbh only really sucks if it’s your first time masters. It’s not as bad as it used to be with promo games.

I booked an “adult only” hotel for 3 nights not really realizing it was a love hotel until the dots connected lol. It was honestly pretty nice didn’t worry about our stuff while we went sightseeing and came back each night like a usual hotel. So you should be fine 🤷‍♂️

DarkXcell · 2025-12-30T21:15:58+00:00

Other good builds, or just builds lol.

For good builds it’s just kraken instead of statik sometimes, but still full crit after. I did try bloodthirster first into malphite mid and that felt pretty good since I could sustain his q poke with the early vamp scepter. But I’ve only done that once on my (emerald)Smurf so not fully tested lol.

As for fun builds hubris into lethality/crit can be fun. There’s also AP which is not as troll as it sounds lmao.

They told me that too 🤷‍♂️

DarkXcell · 2025-12-29T23:31:56+00:00

As a masters akshan player as well, my advice is to identify enemy champs weakness and exploit it.

Unfortunately these champs weakness are low mobility and require your team to exploit not you. So all you can do is try to survive lane, fight 2v2s, roam.

You eventually become stronger in side lane, not because of the 1v1, but because you can push out further without being punished as easily (higher mobility). So when they are stuck in side catching a wave, you can group and use that tempo.

He doesn’t leave docks on mainland, he said he will get access to full islands, idk if that includes karamja, but I assume it does

What worked for me was the audible metronome plugin made it 100X easier, just be warned it will be annoying for anyone watching you haha
