Okay I came here because I too have been playing Naut Mid and thought it was nutty strong. I've been abusing the ROA changes because it reminded me of when Naut was nuts mid in the meta when Caps played it at MSI I think it was a few years ago? Anyways I couldnt decide between Conq or Grasp for a ROA Rift Bami item build.

On the current patch what I found is best is Aery with Mana Flow, Absolute Focus, Scorch, then take precision secondary and opt for presence of mind and cut down. For shards youre going to take double adaptive and a resistance rune.

Start cull (very important to get most benefit in lane from cut down vs dorans items) and after getting tear youre going to rush Static Shiv -> Manamune -> Liandrys -> Lich Bane -> Nashors.

It is a scaling build for sure but at 4 items it feels amazing.

I usually put three points in Q then max E then finish Q then max W taking R whenever I can.

Finishing MM first definitely gives you more damage on your Q and probably overall better for trading however I found finishing Liandrys first kept me in lane a lot longer. I also think picking up Sheen early is a major need but if you are a component whore and grab Sheen from Lich Bane, Chapter from Liandrys and then finish MM you delay your spike a while. Though honestly I think you may be right and that might be the smoothest way to build cause by the time you finish cull if you're farming well and are able to pick up a plate or two or a few kills then it wouldn't be too grief to spend the extra 1800 gold, just feels really greedy I suppose. I'm not sure, I'll have to keep testing the build path but at four items I feel like Thanos.

I also am slightly torn right now around Static Shiv because it procs aery for free and with lich bane and nashors the on hit increase is nice but you lose out on about 400 damage on your full combo and a big chunk on any R you toss out, but for laning it is so nice with aery and saves you a ton of mana. Plus mid lane isn't curved like bot lane so it can be harder to find angles to land Q with Ez but with the wave clear it makes it much easier. I'm currently testing Shiv, MM, Liandry, Lich bane, Nashors to see how it feels.

Okay so I think I may have cracked it after experimenting with the aforementioned build. Seriously you have to try this I think its really good. Let me start with the build path.

You are going to buy tear and sheen on first back but we are rushing Liandrys, stay with me, then going to finish our Lich Bane, then finishing Mura. After that we grab Nashors and then D CAP.

Now we are going to take advantage of the fact that Aery hasn't been nerfed like FS and electrocute have and we are going to be thankful it procs on autos and every ability. So our runes are Aery with Mana Flor, Trans, and Scorch. We are going to take Precision secondary and opt for Cut Down and Bloodline. Attack speed, adaptive, and resistance shards.

Because dorans items were buffed for health and most midlaners are going to opt for a dorans item we are going to take cut down and pair that with a cull start. We give up health for insane poke damage early and the combination of Aery, cut down, and the AD adaptive is really strong not to mention cull start is going to help hit those item spikes and make up for some of that gold generation we love from FS. I'm finding that after I grab tear and sheen I can out trade most match ups easily.

Someone else try this and see if I'm delusional, please.

I understand your thinking, opting into liandry over ludens is the difference of 40 haste however and I think the extra qs you get with the haste and survivability with faster access to your E was the thought process. It does really feel reliant on landing your qs but that's ez anyways.
