It's a great item to rush first. The AD and Atk Spd are all useful for you. The active provides better chasing and dueling power and of course the item itself provides lifesteal. I'm assuming that by the time you get this item, you should have near or already have 5 ranks in Hiten Style, at which point you are at your strongest (until Late Game comes around anyways).
