Duskblade - food for thought

With the duskblade changes, I feel it got overlooked since edge of night is busted.

However, consider this. Duskblade passive has no cooldown, and procs every time you are unseen for 1 second. When vayne ults and tumbles, she is invisible for 1 second. With lethality runes and just a duskblade, you will deal about 150 true damage per proc. Meaning you can walk out of an unwarded bush auto for 150 true damage, ult tumble auto for another 150 true damage, and then in 3 seconds, do it again. Adding 450 true damage to a standard vayne level 6.

Against squishy targets, like adc's, this is about half their health.

Very early game item, and any true sight will stop the passive completely. It gets stronger with an edge of night, allowing for a very strong power spike very early.

Cons to this, are it falls off as the game progresses since it does not have attack speed. Nor does it have crit.

At about 25 minutes, if you haven't won, other builds will probably be better. But, it is worth noting that this is reliable damage, since control wards do not grant true sight, and it does not rely on getting a random tumble crit.

This item, if gotten early enough will make vayne a bush bully, since 2 tumbles out of bush allow her to get any adc into lethal, and this only takes about 4 seconds to do if they are not aware of how duskblade works.

Just food for thought.

EDIT: This build plays very different to any other vayne build. Do not expect to even be playing the same champion. This plays much more like jhin than vayne.
