Item Build
Full Guide
Starter Items
I can hear you now: "Mana Regen to start? WHHYY?"
Listen: with this you are able to stay in midlane longer to farm, ward/help with fangtooth, control both river buffs, rotate, and ping rotations/missings more.
By the time you do back you'll be able to get your core items going.
Core Items
Combustion is strong for Gideons abilities doing additional damage to teams.
This build also takes advantage of the Mag Pen items in this game.
Wraith Leggings to help you finish off those low health heros.
Sell your Essence Ring starter for Caustica as this helps with regen.
Caustica is just filthy for building Mag Pen.
Slowing Items
With Dreambinder you will be slowing enemies as well as dealing additional dmg.
This combined with Wraith Leggings will prevent anyone for running away while low since they'll be slowed and you'll have a movement buff.
End Game
Oblivion Crown is just the cherry on top. Tons and Tons of dmg.
Opotional
For a "Fun" playstyle you can swap Oblivion Crown for Lifebinder.
Lifebinder will grant health/mana while dmg slowed enemies (Dreambinder) and on takedowns grant more dmg. Not to mention the lifesteal.
Very Fun.
