Hextech Gunblade gives you everything that you want ap, ad, burst, healing and slow with a low cooldown. The early ad helps a lot since you can auto attack reset with
Shunpo and
Shunpo 3 times at most. The 80 ap helps a lot with your
Bouncing Blades poke and wave clear. The burst and slow is very good for one target if you are in a 2v1 you can oneshot a target and then kill the other easier. I recommend building
Hextech Gunblade in this order you will alomst always start
Long Sword and 3
Health Potion then it depends on how much gold you have if you have under 1050 go for another
Long Sword
Boots
Refillable Potion and a
Control Ward if you have over 1050 get
Hextech Revolver and then it get
Bilgewater Cutlass and then finally
Hextech Gunblade You will always rush this item but in some scenarios you will get a
Hexdrinker or
Seeker's Armguard
lets start with
Sorcerer's Shoes you will buy this the most since it gives magic penetration and it scales very good with
Katarina since her ap scaling isnt that great
now
Mercury's Treads,
Mercury's Treads Is very good since it gives tenacity and magic resistance. But the tenacity is what we really want 9/10 times. I should probably explain what tenacity is tenacity reduces cc by the amount you have if you have 25% the cc will be reduced by 25% so if you get stunned for 1 second it will go down to 0,75 seconds and that is really good since
Katarina is very vulnerable to cc if you go my runes you will also have tenacity in runes and if you go
Mercury's Treads and
Legend: Tenacity you will have 51% in total and thats a lot but
Legend: Tenacity is good alone if they dont have a lot of cc but if they have a full ap comp you should still for
Mercury's Treads since it gives magic resistance
3rd and final
Ninja Tabi you can go ninja tabis if you are vs 3 4 or 5 but when the enemy has 3 ad only go for
Ninja Tabi when they all depends on their auto attack like
Jax top
Yasuo mid and almost every adc because
Ninja Tabi blocks 12% of the damage from basic attacks.
Ninja Tabi also gives 20 armor so thats also good
Dont think about movement speed since they all give 45%
You can rush
Rabadon's Deathcap after
Hextech Gunblade it really depends on how its going and what you need. If you are really fed you can rush
Rabadon's Deathcap but usually you wil get
Rabadon's Deathcap as 3rd or 4th item
You can rush
Seeker's Armguard after 2
Long Sword to get some armor if you are losing vs an ad midlaner then get
Hextech Gunblade if you need
Zhonya's Hourglass you can get that or you can go for something else. If you are vs 5 ap champions do not buy any of this i do not care how much you want it do not buy it. You will buy this item when you feel like you are dying alot you will usually get this early sometimes after
Hextech Gunblade but sometimes you dont need it so you can just buy it as 5th or 6th item.
More items will come soon :)
