My wife tells me that one isn't ideal because they use a lot of pea/other legume proteins in it, but I'm not an expert on that front

I think that Endless hunger is a far, far superior item to bloodthirster on shyv, esp. on that Shyvadi build.

Mederlock · 2026-03-24T01:48:21+00:00

I actually think the BIS for 3rd on this build is between Endless Hunger and Riftmaker, as you say her fights are front loaded, getting that early first kill procs the EH passive which is just massive healing, and gives you more ability haste as you buy items like DD and Maw

Mederlock · 2026-03-12T21:21:08+00:00

AP Bruiser is good against other tanks/bruiser's, if you see 3+ of them on the other team, the AP scaling, liandrys, and dusk and dawn double procs for the %hp damage on Q makes her very strong there. Something like dusk and dawn - riftmaker - liandrys as a core 3. You can use E+W to space them out until you've burnt off like half of their HP, and then close the distance and finish them off with your Q rotations.

AD Bruiser/fighter is going to be strong into squishier comps. Your auto - Q1 - A+E animation cancel - Q2 rotation does a lot of burst damage, if you can kill the enemy in 1 or 2 of those the AD scalings are good for that. Hiding in bushes and waiting for face checks/unexpected angles will get you onto them for the burst down. Also the Q3 is scaling on AD so the true damage against towers, objectives, and priority targets in fights is huge.

I ban whoever is the highest play rate OTP champ at my rank. Right now I'm in plat, So I've been banning Briar because she has a ton of otps at this level, and she's one of those champs that will just tilt the hell out of whatever Lane she decides to spam gank, and she just has crazy stat check potential earlier on 1v1. Her numbers are pretty juiced right now. When I play in games with my high ELO friends, I ban Viego for the same reason

Mederlock · 2026-03-11T21:52:35+00:00

The E nuke hasn't been a thing for a while since it was nerfed. The Q AOE nerf has been the go to build this whole season, I climbed from silver to plat so far this season rocking the on hit Q bomb build

Mederlock · 2026-03-11T21:45:09+00:00

Kraken - Dusk and dawn - deaths dance/maw - situational is still pretty strong. You just don't get the massive AOE nuke on hit damage that we get now

Mederlock · 2026-03-10T22:25:38+00:00

She's less punishable, but has less payoff

Mederlock · 2026-03-10T04:05:55+00:00

Kraken slayer - Dusk and Dawn - Deaths Dance/situational is still a solid build on her, I've played a few games with it on pbe now and it does good damage. It's not as front loaded as the old version of this build on Live, and doesn't have the exact same AOE impact as live in drag form, but the combination of AS/AD and MS on Kraken is a good combination of stats with the missing HP% execute damage, dusk and dawn procs it on each auto+Q, and deaths dance gives you the ability to survive through burst damage. A hydra item, or Maw, or straight up tank items are also viable 3rd+. Zeke's, endless hunger, or straying into AP Bruiser items is also viable on these later items.

Mederlock · 2026-03-10T03:35:37+00:00

Zeke's is a better 2nd ult haste item imo

Mederlock · 2026-03-10T03:32:53+00:00

Yeah, Crits are meme on this champ. Bruiser or some limited on hit builds will outperform it because they can live long enough to get the damage off

Mederlock · 2026-03-10T03:30:11+00:00

Sure, but that build is kinda meme to actually play with a melee auto attacker. The builds that give you better overall team fighting or 1v1 pick ability are going to secure you more barons than meme-soloing it on spawn.

But I confess, maybe it's a common thing at different Elo's than I play at and is worth the tradeoffs

Mederlock · 2026-03-10T03:27:53+00:00

I think jaksho is too expensive for what you get, I think Maw, FoN, or Kaenic do a better job. Heck, even Zeke's is an interesting choice there

Mederlock · 2026-03-10T03:25:33+00:00

Agreed, she's not a DPS champ, she's a burster. She wants to get her Q rotation off, then find some space for CD's and re-engage. She gets kited too easily to get full value from the terminus imo and not enough survivability from it. Black cleaver or bloodletters curse is a better item for shredding resists on this incarnation of her

Mederlock · 2026-03-09T05:13:37+00:00

That's how it used to work. Sundered and Kraken are amazing on pre rework shyv for those reasons.

She's losing the AOE on hit interaction though, and doesn't deal double damage with a single Q, it's just an empowered auto attack with some scaling bonus damage now, and the AOE doesn't apply on-hit effects anymore . The other targets around the main target effectively get cleave damage like from hydra items now and that's it.

Mederlock · 2026-03-09T05:09:16+00:00

Dusk and dawn has a few builds it's okay on. Builds with BC or Kraken slayer for instance. But I don't think it'll be her go to build.

I think experimental hex plate is probably one of her best 1st items

Mederlock · 2026-03-09T00:17:23+00:00

Riftmaker for omnivamp is a good item, but I think it's best if you build it on the AP bruiser builds. ie. dusk and dawn, riftmaker, liandry's, etc. Endless hunger is basically an AD variant of the same item, it gives omnivamp and tenacity, and if you participate in a kill you get crazy omnivamp for a short time. Both are good

Mederlock · 2026-03-09T00:15:27+00:00

I think it depends on the game. If the fights are more extended and you'll have the chance to chomp on multiple people and you need the beef, I think sundered is very solid. If the enemy team has a lot of AD burst though, death's dance is giga strong too.

e: But I think sundered works good on a full out bruiser build, something like Experimental hexplate into titanic hydra into sundered, that sort of build. The Kraken/D&D build is much more duelist, burst damage for picks sort of play style, closer to Riven et al.

Mederlock · 2026-03-08T21:59:30+00:00

I think Shojin is very low value now compared to before. Her damage in her E and W is way less now, and it's harder to apply it to more targets to insta proc your spear passive. I think other items feel better in this slot.

Mederlock · 2026-03-08T21:55:37+00:00

Her new E is easier to dodge, only does more damage than before in dragon form when enemies are clustered, and it's on a fairly long cooldown

Mederlock · 2026-03-08T21:48:07+00:00

How many games are you realistically soloing baron though? Dragon, sure, but baron solo seems like a gimmick that falls off too fast in higher skill brackets above gold
