1. Shadowblade Buff and Champion Research Trends
The Shadowblade buff (price reduction, attack damage increase, blackout cooldown increase) has increased item efficiency.
In League of Legends, there are champions whose research progresses rapidly when a specific item is buffed, and Kai'Sa and Graves are representative examples.
We will analyze the two champions who can build Shadowblade.
2. Shadowblade Kai'Sa Build Analysis and Evaluation
Recently, Kai'Sa has been researched in two types.
Dirk-Essence Reaver-Deathfire Grasp Build: Uses Hail of Blades/Press the Attack runes, maximizes burst damage, and performs the role of a skill dealer.
Shadowblade-Guinsoo's Rageblade-Nashor's Tooth Build: Operates similarly to the existing build, but the Q skill evolution timing is delayed.
Currently, the efficiency of the first core Mythic item is good, so the need for the Shadowblade build is low.
If things go well, you can renew the high point with a Mythic-Pickaxe-Navori-Infinity Edge build.
3. Shadowblade Graves Build Analysis and Evaluation
After the Shadowblade buff, Graves' resource acquisition-related indicators have increased significantly.
In the past, Graves rose to prominence due to the price reduction of the Collector.
From a jungler's perspective, 3000 gold is expensive, so you can increase cost-effectiveness through Shadowblade.
Shadowblade has advantages in terms of vision control, and you can earn extra income when removing wards.
In Emerald or higher tiers, snowballing in the early game is more effective than in normal tiers.
After fixing Shadowblade-Collector, build Dominik's Regards and then Bloodthirster.
The rune is used based on First Strike, and can be selected considering the cooldown difference with Cosmic Insight.
4. Shadowblade Graves In-Game Play Analysis
Graves is uncomfortable removing wards due to the reload mechanism, but Shadowblade can compensate for this shortcoming.
Vision control is important for Graves, who often enters the opponent's jungle.
The blackout effect provides stability to Graves, who makes many aggressive choices.
The Shadowblade build is specialized in snowballing by increasing the core item completion speed based on early growth.
You can activate the victory plan by stealing camps through counter-jungling, and Shadowblade provides stability in this process.
It is easy to clear vision thanks to Shadowblade and the lens, and the probability of making effective hits increases.
