User blog:Care Level/Magic Sword Ahri: A Guide to Nashor's and Lich Bane.

I get a lot of people asking me what in the actual fuck I'm doing when I buy Nashor's and Lich Bane on Ahri, so I'm gonna try and explain it, a bit.

My first items are Athene's, Nashor's, and Lich Bane, usually in that order, (with Sorcs injected wherever they fit, but we won't count them). That's... 8620g for the 3 items. For the same gold, I could have Athene's, Deathcap, and be well on my way to DFG with Needlessly and Codex. Eh, fuck it, let's just give in the DFG.

Anyway, we're talking about 220 AP versus 390, so a pretty fucking big difference, right? Almost twice as much!

But when you look at the damage, that extra 200 AP (I rounded up) is multiplied by .35 + .84 + .76 + 1.08, or a best-case combined AP ratio of 3.03, so 600 damage.
