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

Build around reliable attacks and the space your team can hold for you. Use a completed damage spike to pressure objectives rather than forcing fights during an awkward component recall.

When to change this build

When divers prevent you from attacking, evaluate one defensive detour. When you have room to attack but tanks do not fall, inspect their armor 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.
