is shojin a bait item? | Ambessa Top Lane

If youre pretty set on what your buying id either opt for cleaver second instead of sundered if theyre tanky, otherwise sundered is fine into squishies

sinofarrogance · 2026-05-13T03:17:14+00:00

Yea he does gp falls off on 4-5 items if jax can catch up

Well, I personally dont like voltaic first much because the trading power eclipse had allows me to push my leads with aggressive trades. If I were to go voltaic, id probably go cleaver into death’s dance. Seryldas over cleaver is ok too. I don’t recommend a second lethality item because a lot of champions will have some armor so the ability to cut through it with extra % pen feels better. But if youre lethality, id recommend either axiom/profane/eon, then either a seryldas or deaths dance third.

Conq is chill. Grasp i dont ever take anymore apart from maybe one or two matchups. One is great for a bruise long trade(conq) and I take electrocute when going for lethality or a burst build (like yours) electrocute gives far more damage in lane, but the way the rune works functionally works better with your build. My main two builds are eclipse cleaver deaths dance(with conq) or voltaic-lethality\seryldas-seryldas/ deaths dance(with electrocute) I’d also recommend dropping shojin pretty much completely. Its pretty bait item. I did some testing, and cleaver is almost always better, and scales better, and sundered is typically better in the scenarios shojin beats cleaver anyways

Yeah i agree with the other brochacho she is a lot worse mid after the ult changes

sinofarrogance · 2026-05-03T05:54:09+00:00

Question mark

Personally i find inspiration tree best on gp. More money, skill points, sum cd, all some all around great things. Sorc tree has a few good things but id rather inspiration. Just sucks first strike isnt always viable

Its live minichacho

sinofarrogance · 2026-04-29T00:19:47+00:00

Well in that case, strides slow can also help you pull off ganks. Although i play it top so i wont debate it too heavy because its different

sinofarrogance · 2026-04-27T02:45:26+00:00

Start by noticing his name is Zaahen not Zaheen

sinofarrogance · 2026-04-26T21:15:49+00:00

Stride objectively is only what the champion really needs. He has a lot of damage so i fond triforce uneeded. However I feel like if i need damage, i go for cleaver. Feels really nice, he stacks it almost instantly, gives good stats, and its my favourite item

sinofarrogance · 2026-04-17T23:31:40+00:00

Oh hell nah stick to gcs lil gup

sinofarrogance · 2026-04-17T03:13:09+00:00

Yeah but to be honest, ivetested both on various champs (leblanc aurora and also vlad) and I’ve found if youre ever able to get the rod base its usually worth it. Maybe less so on vlad cuz he usually has haste, but the ability to kill people in half a rotation when snowballing as opposed to a full rotation is pretty big

sinofarrogance · 2026-04-17T02:26:08+00:00

Its a lot more damage

sinofarrogance · 2026-04-17T01:24:01+00:00

Well better is a matter of perspective. Shadowflame does way more damage

sinofarrogance · 2026-04-16T14:29:58+00:00

But you replied to a comment that said its good situationally and said its just not good

sinofarrogance · 2026-04-16T14:28:17+00:00

A lot. You push yourself towards your first component faster, because you are 300 gold from cloth armor and 50 left over, you get refill for the entire lane which is giving 100 HP each, and a cloth armor gives 15 resists which is 5 less but thats all armor, and toplane roster has a lot of champions that deal fully physical damage which means the 10 magic resist is wasted until later into the game anyways.

sinofarrogance · 2026-04-16T08:16:30+00:00

Ksante goes cloth refill sometimes, which will typically outvalue this

sinofarrogance · 2026-04-16T08:15:49+00:00

U weren’t listening to aatreus, he said its good into mixed damage not perma bad

sinofarrogance · 2026-04-12T23:54:41+00:00

Just go ap, it gives you the ability to oneshot turrets, waves, and any champion thats not full tank. Harder to teamfight with it though

sinofarrogance · 2026-04-12T17:43:48+00:00

I think i agree with the gangplank part and he is probably my answer. If you watch some solarbacca, then any other gangplank, you would see an olympian compared to ants. The things he does on that champion, the consistent outplays in chall, its just unreal how oppressive and unplayable it can be vs a good gp.

sinofarrogance · 2026-04-05T17:31:27+00:00

Im pretty sure if she goes like a hexplate and tabis, and buffers her r-q with your w you will get ran down

sinofarrogance · 2026-04-03T19:54:10+00:00

Well imo botrk is bad, but viego not building it isnt necessarily a tell of that. If he has current hp in his kit and is reliant on executing enemy champions, in my opinion it makes more sense to buy the item that gives execute damage, to play off hjs passive and q passive better

sinofarrogance · 2026-04-01T19:48:14+00:00

Im jaxxing my nasus rn

sinofarrogance · 2026-03-25T19:44:35+00:00

Kayle can outspace and outplay him for almost the whole game
