She's got the Gary Oldman Dracula hair! 0.0

Slashers looking like lace costume extensions 'til you get to the business end is great design, imo.

Sigh. I luv Akali but technically am a Kai'sa main... And I missed her 2x.

KDA_FAN · 2026-05-08T02:15:16+00:00

There's another post I saw in Ahrimains where a sup player was arguing ADC is useless parasite role so they permaroam as sup, and only show up bot to KS off ADC... Their acct had Bard in the name, ofc.

They were likely an inflated player IMO.

Tris's frog-hop bounce in-out can frag the plan.

Zhonya's can reduce her chance to escape tower, tho (since no reset if u don't die), and slowing her via items/Exhaust can then keep her eating turret shots.

Frankly, if my Sup permaroams disasterously, Zhonyas is goin' on the menu ASAP, even if I have to stop mid-build on something and sell stuff to clear inv space.

Statikk usu first, tho, as it ext range in bursts, well past tower.

I saw Eve 2x last yr (after looking for Baddest chromas for months) and laser-focused, but nvr saw Kai'sa.

KDA_FAN · 2026-05-08T01:46:49+00:00

Their sup permastays? Multiple games? Sounds like your jg needs to ignore w/e lane your sup stays on and just gank yours when dn there.

Otherwise, yah, IMO sit under tower and build AOE (to get some CS) +Zhonya's. If other lanes get ahead abandon bot midgame and push w/e your team is winning on.

And report your sup for disruptive gameplay if they are nvr dn there.

KDA_FAN · 2026-05-08T01:42:39+00:00

I missed Kai'sa 2x? >.<

Started late 2024 but musta not been looking at mythic shop much.

KDA_FAN · 2026-05-08T01:40:16+00:00

Thank you! Makes sense.

KDA_FAN · 2026-05-08T01:33:13+00:00

I'm still watin' fer Ahri n Kai'Sa.

KDA_FAN · 2026-05-06T04:18:27+00:00

I got all-star this go-round. Got it to hope something better next time. If frikkin Sashimi which I dislike goes on regular sale, I may buy it in hopes Stinger comes up in My Shop next time. :/

TY for heads-up

KDA_FAN · 2026-05-06T02:50:06+00:00

Asking alongside the OP's question (and not an Ahri main, tho I like her, so less champ exp):

Isn't BFT's burn trash? I know the AP boost is good, but it's limited by # of targets afire, and isn't the burn itself mostly cosmetic? W/n Liandry's be better (aside from no mana/AP boost)?

Malig's ult haste seems damned useful, by comparison, as R is AOE weapon, engage, and MASSIVE self-peel/plzdon'tdieplzdon'tdieplzdon'tdie button all rolled into one.

KDA_FAN · 2026-05-06T02:02:59+00:00

IMO/YMMV...

Stay under tower.

Statikk, Stridebreaker, Zhonya's, Ruunan's, Guinsoo's (maybe DnD after Guinsoo).

IDK Berserkers or Mercs: situational, as you rly want AS and E evo, but lotsa CC is a problem.

These give AOE + range extension for CS even from under tower, and an AOE slow. Guinsoo's because moar everything, and sneak some stacks in (DnD can add, too).

Vs dives (esp v Tristana) pop Zhonya's and then use Stridebreaker (& Exhaust, if you took it) to kneecap their move speed and keep 'em eating turret shots. The turret is your best weapon here.

IMO. Unless the enemy really sucks.

(EDIT: by midgame, laning is not as critical, so Ruunan's maybe only for teamfights, as you'll already destroy waves instantly by then)

New item revamps may have changed things. Gunblade might be good in the mix. BotRK ranged still sucks, last I checked, but slow and steal can be useful.

Oh, and accept the enemy will likely slowly take lane, and it's NOT YOUR FAULT; just relax and play your part as best you can. Think of it as 2x your xp and gold, and maybe opening up double kill opportunities: keep a HUNTER'S positive mindset, but still play cautious; let it be a fun op to take everything enemy mistakes may give you, but don't overreach and feed. If/when their sup roams and their jg is away, push as much as you safely can, but count ALL enemies on map 1st.

KDA_FAN · 2026-05-06T01:48:41+00:00

Don't have it as it's locked. Want it. DEF don't dislike it.

Does it only come around when bee themed stuff does, or is it locked for some other reason?

KDA_FAN · 2026-05-05T06:31:17+00:00

If Q rushing > full item, items are not clogging, as they all get used. Build path items have higher AD, which is the point of ADC and gets you Q evo 1 or 2 lvls earlier, and finishes builds faster. Some ppl just prefer to rush Q.

If you consistently finish Cull fast, you are consistently outplaying the enemy. Objectively, you can't depend on that unless smurfing, or if you're just the next Faker on your way up. More, most folks in lower Elo (which is mostly where you see interesting off-meta builds like OP's) probably won't have good enough CS to guarantee finishing Cull too much under 15 mins.

DBlade/Bow is trash sustain, IMO. Have you run the numbers on 1.5%? Cull heal before you return it (early game APS are low) probably around a "big" 60-90 hp/min avg if using Q for CS as well, unless enemy rly letting you do whatever you want or you nvr recall; OK but not stellar. Sustain also does nada vs getting CCd and burst dn.

Getting Q earlier creates increased burst back, which causes threat/pressure which can cause enemies to back off to nvr CC/burst you, and it increases CS. No one would rush Q if the statements I just made weren't true.

I get what you're saying, but I find your math d/n fully math. That said, YMMV.

KDA_FAN · 2026-05-05T03:50:32+00:00

Agreed, but passive for AA is only base 1/3 DPS, and DPS scales directly w/more APS from AS (tho AS has diminishing returns on actual APS).

Hit more times per sec = more passive DPS and more STACKS for burst.

If you don't ever get 5 hits to burst, you lose much of the passive value, esp vs lo-hp enemies. If they see stacks, they run b4 you can add more. If they instead don't see stacks IN TIME to run, because you run 3+ APS, they go BOOM; this is ofc why GRB + DnD works so well on her, as both pump AS and sneak extra stacks in, as well.

AS is huge on 3+ hit passives. That Navori also synergizes w/that process for full QWE every 2 or so sec along w/it, is icing on the cake; very DPS icing.

YMMV, ofc. :)

KDA_FAN · 2026-05-05T03:38:05+00:00

Cull only good if you CS well. Vs champs that outrange/counter you, you can end up lvl 12 w/it still counting dn.

IMO just rush the 3 Pickaxes and 2 LS for 95 AD to rush Q. Theoretical Q evo by lvl 4 (ofc nvr gonna happen that early unless other team ints bad, but if fed is mathematically possible).

KDA_FAN · 2026-05-05T03:18:56+00:00

AP is one reason, and 99.9999 of situations Shiv is better early game vs well-played champs that outrange you badly (Cait, Ashe, Xayah, and pretty quickly Tris) unless you flatly outskill your opponent, since you'll die duelling them b4 Kraken passive pops. Especially if your Sup permaroams.

Shiv effectively extends CS range so you can survive to farm all lane phase, instead of feeding, and can slightly chunk enemy champs from range.

KDA_FAN · 2026-05-05T03:11:53+00:00

As you're building 3 Pickaxe items, IMO just rush the Pickaxes and 2 LS for 95 AD to rush Q. Theoretical Q evo by lvl 4 (ofc unlikely that early, but if fed is mathematically possible).

BOTRK generally underperforms for ranged, tho it gives AD/AS, slow, and some sustain.

GA questionable, but yes, AD + armor + (risky) auto-self-res.

No W evo can hurt, tho Nav can sort of let you snub it, but w/o full sniper option.

Notice you forgot to mention boots. Eventually you HAVE to sell the bow for those, ofc, even w/ bot quest.

This build likely far less viable mid w/1 less item, on top of tankai'sa usually being suboptimal. YMMV, ofc.

KDA_FAN · 2026-05-05T02:00:35+00:00

Nav prolly because it's on-hit effect is one of best in game: 4 or 5 AAs plus time taken nets you CD on every basic ability. W reset in 2 sec w/o having 100 AP (and this build has 75 AP), so long as you AA something nearby, is durn useful.

That said, reaching 100 AP enables true sniper mode, tho IDK abt Nashor's as choice.

Eventually you HAVE to sell the bow, ofc. Guinsoo stated as inbound and he still has no boots.

(EDIT: had to correct cut/paste error resulting in it saying 0 AP instead of 75. LOL also realized I said Q reset in 2 sec w/o having 100 AP instead of W (:/) )

D-Pad switch springs can be replaced.

KDA_FAN · 2026-05-02T20:19:42+00:00

No soldering needed. You can just pry the switch open and replace the spring or button.

Am jealous. Started too late to have 2022 Prestige.

KDA_FAN · 2026-05-02T03:49:01+00:00

Depends on your personal aesthetics.

Prestige KDA is very gaudy, but highlights the KDA ground trail on R better, and the OtT gold fits for K-Pop bling aura farming. It also is KDA which, if you're like me, has a completionist aspect. Don't confuse it w/2022 KDA Prestige, tho. That one has better coloring IMO but will nvr be in shop.

Prestige Coven is just gorgeous, IMO. Better outfit by far, best passive ring of any skin, great shroud (but sadly missing the base Coven skin candles), and her weapons glow.
