Boots and later choices

Boot options are shown separately because recall timing and threats affect when to buy them.

Later candidates from the source, not a mandatory order or a validated six-item combination:

How to use this route

Choose purchases around the spell rotations you can actually land. A damage lead is most useful when you can turn a catch into a kill or force an opponent away from an objective.

When to change this build

If the enemy is stacking magic resistance, reconsider penetration before another raw AP purchase. If you die before casting again, assess a defensive active instead.

Enter your completed items and components in the build advisor before comparing the next purchase. Treat counter items as alternatives: buying every suggested counter can delay the core that makes your champion effective.

These are match results for the source sample, not lane-win probabilities or a prediction of your own game. Only rows with at least 200 games appear. Player skill, composition and patch changes can alter the result.

Does this also apply in ARAM or Classic?

No. This guide describes the listed Summoner’s Rift lane. Use the separate ARAM or Classic section in the interactive library for those modes. An alternative AP or AD route is not automatically a measured popular build.
