Most Viego's are building crit (shieldbow, essence, infinity) but I don't really like that playstyle since I get one shot really easily. Most games I tend to take the most damage and do the most damage. I find that bruiser gives more damage in games from the consistency of being able to auto attack them without getting blown up.

The current bruiser builds seem lackluster and I'm experimenting with other options.

Shieldbow - bork - wits / deaths: gives same damage as the kraken build above but has a lot less effective health (health after accounting for armor and magic resist) than kraken build. The health from titanic + cleaver gives more eHP than wits or deaths dance. Even skipping bork and building shieldbow - wits - deaths has less eHP and does even less damage.

Divine - Steraks - GA?: think this is an old bruiser build. It does a lot less damage than build in this guide and has a lot less damage. Not sure if this is ever good.

Steraks in general seems worse on Viego than other champs because it's very easy to loose stacks during possession. Also never get Anathema's chains since you loose all stacks after possession since the stacks don't stay after taking another champs items.

I've been trying to find a good build that has a balanced mix of damage + eHP and if anyone reading has a good build please let me know. I'm Gold btw so my takes or opinion on valuable stats could be completely wrong.

Thanks for reading.
