How It Works

Wit's End Buff

The new Wit's End provides 20 bonus movement speed on hit, giving Twisted Fate huge chase potential and mitigating the lack of having a Rapid Firecannon. This also gives him strong survivability mid-lane against AP laners and assassins.

Blade of the Ruined King

Stats
+40 attack damage
+25% attack speed
+10% life steal

Passive
Mist's Edge: Attacks deal a percentage of enemy's current Health as bonus physical damage On-Hit.

Clawing Shadows: Attacking a champion 3 times Slows them by 30% for 1 second.

The item still hands TF a slow, but he has to earn it now. Three attacks into the same champion and Clawing Shadows pins them for a second, which suits a build that's already committed to standing there swinging. It also frees up Pick a Card [W], because you no longer need it as your only way of keeping somebody in range.

Kraken Slayer

Stats
+45 attack damage
+40% attack speed
+4% move speed
Passive
Bring It Down: Every third Attack deals bonus physical damage On-Hit, increased based on their missing Health.

Although it looks like he always builds it 5th, this item does provide a huge power spike even after the first three. After grabbing this item is probably where moving between attacks ends up a DPS loss unless you're insanely good at clicking. The good news is you've now become a fountain of death.

Combined with Ravenous Hunter killing you at this point with crowd-control is nearly impossible and you can have 3 or 4 attacks in the air at the same time.

Potential Pitfalls

Lower Range

This version of Twisted Fate needs to be in auto-attack range without Rapid Firecannon, which reduces his utility compared to standard AP Twisted Fate. Wild Cards is also a very long range spell and giving this up does reduce his effective distance by a great deal.

Difficult to Use Optimally

The high attack speed that TF gets in the build means you'll often have to choose between suboptimal damage and dodging spells. However, the sustained damage that he puts out is absolutely insane.

Countering On-Hit Twisted Fate

Hard CC and attack speed reduction items will do well against Twisted Fate.

Conclusions

On-Hit Twisted Fate is incredibly fun if you get enough items to get him started. Overall I do think that the standard AP Twisted Fate is better but late game with full items this build is bonkers.

Suggested Tier: Tier 2
