Patch 25.14: Kraken, BotRK, and Phantom Dancer Build Analysis
Introducing new builds for Jinx, Garen, Tryndamere, Akshan, and Katarina that utilize the buffed Kraken Slayer, Blade of the Ruined King, and Phantom Dancer in patch 25.14, and analyzing the pros, cons, and operational strategies of each build.
1. 🎯 Kraken Jinx: Yoon vs. Kraken Build Comparison and Operational Strategy
- ✅ The value of the Kraken-Phantom Dancer set build has increased after the Kraken and Phantom Dancer buffs.
- ✅ Compare and analyze the power graphs of the 1-core Yoon and Kraken builds. Yoon is strong in the early game with BF, but there is a risk of getting twisted in the early game.
- ✅ Kraken has a stable lower item composition and outperforms the Yoon build until the 2-core timing.
- ✅ The Yoon build is stronger after 3 cores, but the Kraken build's power does not drop significantly.
- ✅ The Kraken-Phantom Dancer build is 800 gold cheaper than the Yoon-Runaan's-Infinity Edge build and produces similar power.
- ✅ Phantom Dancer provides Jinx with much-needed movement speed, increasing survivability.
- ⚠️ LCK chose Infinity Edge as the 2nd core after the 1st core Kraken, but the Kraken-Phantom Dancer set build may yield better results.
| Build | Item | Gold | Features |
|---|---|---|---|
| Yoon Build | Yoon-Runaan's-Infinity Edge | 6,450 Gold | Strong early, high carry potential late |
| Kraken Build | Kraken-Phantom Dancer | 5,650 Gold | Stable, increased movement speed |

2. 🛡️ Phantom Dancer Garen: Maximizing Axiom Use Through Increased Movement Speed
- ✅ Garen's indicators have declined since the recent patch, but have improved thanks to the Phantom Dancer buff.
- ✅ If you raise your feet as the 1st core and then go for Ghost Dancer, you can secure a movement speed of 392.
- ✅ Movement speed increases to 430 when you raise Ghost Dancer as the 2nd core.
- ✅ You can approach your opponent without a Dead Man's Plate by gaining additional movement speed when using the Q skill.

3. ⚔️ Phantom Dancer Tryndamere: Navori vs. Ghost Dancer, Changes in Skill Master Order
- ✅ Tryndamere does not have a definite 1st core, but Ravenous Hydra is the main one.
- ✅ It is better to choose Ghost Dancer instead of Navori as the 2nd core.
- ✅ Ghost Dancer has higher attack speed and movement speed than Navori.
- ✅ Movement speed is very important for Tryndamere, so he sometimes takes Ghost instead of Teleport.
- ✅ It is better to take only 1 level of Q skill and focus on mastering E skill.
- ✅ The stat advantage of Phantom Dancer is even more noticeable if you pull up the E skill master timing.
- ✅ Phantom Dancer's movement speed increase covers Navori's cooldown reduction effect.
| Item | Attack Speed | Movement Speed |
|---|---|---|
| Navori | - | - |
| Ghost Dancer | +25% | +6% |

4. 🏹 Kraken-Blade of the Ruined King Akshan: Static Replacement, Operation and Rune Selection Guide
- ✅ Static was the closest thing to the correct choice for Akshan until the previous patch, but the structure has changed since the Kraken buff.
- ✅ Akshan is a champion specialized in surprise attacks, so it is important to increase instant damage by utilizing the Kraken effect.
- ✅ You can make good use of Kraken thanks to your passive and E skills.
- ✅ You can consider Blade of the Ruined King as the 2nd core.
- ✅ In solo queue, it is a good idea to raise Guinsoo's Rageblade to increase damage expectations.
- ✅ The sustain gained through Blade of the Ruined King provides strengths in damage trading and operation.
- ✅ You can choose Guinsoo's Rageblade or Blade of the Ruined King depending on the opponent's composition.
- ✅ Choose Press the Attack for runes, and if you want to take the lane strongly, choose Triumph, and if you want to focus on teamfights, choose Coup de Grace.

5. 🗡️ Blade of the Ruined King-Kraken Katarina: In-depth Analysis and Usage of AD Katarina Build
- ✅ AD Katarina goes well with the Blade of the Ruined King-Kraken build because her passive, E skill, and ultimate have on-hit effects.
- ✅ Unlike AP Katarina, you need to use basic attacks more often, so more proficiency is required.
- ✅ AD Katarina's ultimate damage is better.
- ✅ The ultimate deals both magic and physical damage, giving it a hybrid tendency.
- ✅ If your team composition has a lot of AP dealers, you can balance it with AD Katarina.
- ✅ The Blade of the Ruined King-Kraken build can provide attack speed, tower demolition ability, and sustain at the same time.
- ✅ It is best to choose Conqueror for runes.
| Division | AP Katarina | AD Katarina |
|---|---|---|
| Main Skill Usage | Q, E, Passive | Basic Attack |
| Advantages | Intuitive | Ultimate Damage, Balance Adjustment |
