Ghostblade is a heavily underrated item, tbh. The temporary MS buff is absolutely huge on certain champions (been playing Talon with first item Ghostblade over Cleaver, for instance).

I don't get why people build it on Trist as she already has a 90% aspd boost with her Q ... She needs damage not more aspd.

Helps round out her weak mid game.


BotRK isn't the bad item on Trist, PD is.

21 offense, BotRK and rank 5 Q gives her exactly 2.5 ASPD at 18.

Few months ago I did some Tristana math, the highest damage 4 item combo for Trist is actually BotRK, IE, LW, Ghostblade. Use the ghostblade active as soon as Q drops.

Interesting, unfortunately lack of lifesteal in that build.

Because the active also gives her burst. Think of her as AP Graves: he doesn't go BT over IE only because of his short range, but also because he can straight-up 100-0 squishies super early with all the AD it gives (and I don't care about the "if you only autoattack IE is better", it's 800 gold later, around 60 less damage on your QR combo, and 25 less damage per auto unless you crit, if you go IE first you basically say "I hope I will trigger that 25% crit within the max 2 autos I'll use before our target blows up").
Trist has good W, E and R base damage in the midgame, while her autos suck. She can't really go BT because she doesn't have AD ratios, so instead with BotRK she gets 15% of your max HP as an additional "spell" when your team engages on a target and wants to kill it asap. Plus bursting earlier also gives an earlier W reset.

Varus goes BT when maxing Q for the poke/long-range finisher, but going BotRK isn't exactly bad with E max, it makes him really good at 1v1, catching people, or simply peeling for himself with E+R+active.

Prefer Tiamat. Don't need to chase if they're dead.

That's WITH her Q active it gives better DPS, but unless it's significant I don't consider ghostblade over PD the best build.

I think the ghostblade active gives her a pretty good extended fight.

With the 10% CDR she's at an 18 second cooldown on Q, which gives her max attackspeed. That lasts 7 seconds, then as soon as it drops you use the Ghostblade active, which isn't as much of a steroid but lasts another 4 seconds. That's 11 seconds of as much ASPD as you'd be getting out of PD, but with more damage. Then you're only weaker for 7 seconds before Q is up again.

Realistically it's a fairly academic discussion though. If Tristana gets to level 18 with IE+BotRK+LW+GA+anything else she's going to be strong.

PD/Shiv also look a lot better if the enemy team has Nasus/Malphite/Lee/Gragas/etc on the team, which is often enough.

well in that build you get 2.5 for 11 seconds, and rapid fire comes back up at 18, it's reasonable.

also the arp gives you higher damage potential on crits than PD would.

it's interesting I'll give you that.

I don't think Triforce is too strong.

I think it's just back to what it was in S2 where it was strong for certain champions and not for others. I think a lot of the people blindly building it atm are just doing inefficient builds, like how we saw BotRK on every single champion ever when it came out.

It's good on Ez and Corki, and Nasus, and Lucian etc. But I'm not convinced with all the Triforce Nidalee's and such I'm seeing these days.

I still think bruiser nidalee is suboptimal ever since she lost free resist, but god, triforce nidalee q execute does so much fucking damage.

IDK, Flame's BotRK/SV/IBG build looked pretty beast.

Arthelon used to main panth way back in season 2. He's a really smart player and one of the best amateur mids currently.

Funnily enough, I just dicked around on Ask Mr Robot looking at Tristana.

It actually looks like a second Infinity Edge would outdamage Ghostblade. IE+IE+BotRK+LW may be best.

Is that like the Anti-Genja build? Or would that require 3 IEs?

I don't believe your math.

Goes on to heavily favor PD builds when ghostblade and youmouu's wear off and you realize you didn't make the maximum use of your temporary attack speed buff because the enemy LB scared you away for 7 seconds.
I think in our modern age technology has evolved to become more addictive. The things that don't give us pleasure aren't used as much. Work was never meant to be fun, but doing it makes us happier in the long run.

Yeah you want swords. Longswords though. Fill your inventory, win lane, np, then they build up.
