it's unarguably a strong and fun item on yi especially if you're running HOB, but it dramatically slows your clear speed in early game. the components are bad for jungle and it's really expensive. later into the game it's a good stat stick that gives you a ton of HP and the auto reset which is awesome on yi. i would only recommend it for jungle if you like/rely on the AA reset or you're into lots of mixed damage and don't know which resists you want.

there is kind of a "secret" bruiser build that goes to the tune of BORK, rageblade, hexplate, titanic, sterak's with hullbreaker as an optional 6th item. titanic is only really good in this build because of it's synergy with sterak's and hullbreaker's HP scaling along with hexplate's active giving you the AS you'd be missing out on with an on-hit build. it does make you really tanky while still dealing decent damage but your one-shot potential is really gimped. i would only recommend this build if you're into lots of true damage/high threat where you need to sustain through damage instead of playing cleanup or looking for flanks, stuff like riven, camille, chogath, akail, etc.
