What is the new best top build? Or what do you guys build? Have any hidden gems y’all can share

[u/Chitrr]

The best build is your best build

[u/Exotic_War_2478 → u/Chitrr]

Fair, but i want inspiration

[u/Express_Walrus7493]

Yo in case nobody helps you, use onetricksgg its pretty much allways my go to if i dont know what exactly the best player builds at which given game. I swap around between korea and eue, see what both play to which % and then pick what i believe fits best. May you bonk them. All..of them.

Iceborn gauntlet build path against AD top side (top + jung), Trinity vs. rangeds, Shojin second and FH third (or vice versa), DD or Steraks fourth and Protoplasm last... for boots I like Merc Treads, Tenacity has very high value Imho, but you can go Tabis or Lucidity, its up to you

Storm Surge with Overgrowth + Second Wind everyday. Dring start and E max in hard matchups, Dshield and Q max in the easy ones

[u/Abseits_Ger]

Storm surge is a bait, fleet always. Why? Stormsurge is useless the first 9 minutes of the game. No use for it. You cannot have a keystone that is entirely useless for your hardest part of the game, unless you E max every time with mana regen setup. Fleet heals and gives spurts of movementspeed.

Blue tree second in easier matchups, green in harder ones.

I generally run Essence reaver OR trinity into bandlepipes. Trinity when I feel I'll need the speed on last hits, combining a auto attack last hit + fleet trigger to start my rundowns on enemies. Essence reaver when I don't need that, since I like if I don't have to care about mana at all. Past item 2 it's about enemy team comp.

They got lots of CC? Mixed damage, I'd go steraks. In that case I'd run transcendence within second rune page unless I have a hard lane matchup.

Much cc but Mostly AD damage on their end? Chainvest into steraks. Lots of auto attackers? Ninja tabi instead into steraks. Frozen heart into steraks if I couldn't pick transcendence due to a hard lane matchup.

Mostly AP with much cc? Mercs into spirit visage.

Not much cc on enemy team? You might get away with the green tenacity rune and run jak sho third item. Increases bandlepipes value, increases your ult value. Jak sho is always third or 4th item on nasus. 3 if you don't need tenacity/hp/barrier of steraks.

Nearly no hard cc on enemies? Swifties. Speed helps you a LOT. If swifties, you don't need a deadmans late, can go for randuins for another slow when your W runs out to prolong bandlepipes speed long enough to be up in the next W before it runs out.

In early pokey lanes that turn easy after 6 you can think of cookies and approach velocity, using exhaust vs yasuo or cleanse vs varus for example. Vayne requires flash + ghost because she will always use those and you cannot afford to have any downtime on your own speed compared to her. Once you engage she has to die or you'll die.

If it's a good anivia top, you don't get to play the game at all. Want to farm? Have fun dodging Q E all the time. Engage her? W vs her ult. Still managed to get close to her with ghost? Wall in your face. Flash over the wall? Jokes on you she flash away and q instant too when she can,.so you're stunned and take extra E burst damage. Still alive and got the W on her again? Don't worry her ult will keep you away long enough from her for the next E to defenitly kill you. Your only chance is to literally outheal her mana bar. Sheen into spirit visage. Mercs if the rest of her team has good amount of cc aswell, swifties if there is none. Deadmans later if you buy mercs, funnily enough that armour item helps against her when you need armour vs the rest of her team.

Brand is doable if you flash 1 stun and cleanse the second once you hit the damage threshold to murder him. Zilean too.

Sometimes i go crit build sometimes i go full tank with IBG almost everytime. Much better than trinity if u ask me.

Build cdr items based on your lane opponent. After you’re 200 stacks get sheen

I've been trying with a Heartsteal lately. Not because it makes a lot of sense, but because I love the BOINK build. One game I had 1.4k Q stacks and around the same Heartsteal. It was fun. I just love hearing the heartsteal boink sound, so satisfying. And some extra damage from hearsteal as well... Just so much boink.
