Iceborn Cleaver, Become a Believer [Build Guide]
Welcome my Brethren to the Temple of The Iceborn Cleaver... Become a Believer...
I am Kampsycho One of the Mad Monks in this monastery ( And Discord Server), one of the outcast of our order (Next the Unstoppable Monk, Ily Btw buddy) and I come today to rally those who are tired of seeking glory and to open all 3 Gatez without investing into a 3.7k Gold Item that gives you no peace at mind and no insurance in breaching De Gatez.
Many Years have passed, Many decades, WE HAVE BEEN PUSHED BACK TO THE LOST CHAPTERS OF HISTORY.
but no longer....
Today You'll embrace The Cold and Black Steel of our Cause and bare withness to our Faith.
I bring to you Iceborn Cleaver's Withnessess and what they have seen and done for the Islands of Toplane.
We don't stand for Trinity force, that is only a false Idol the Only Trinity Force we need is the One that bares in the name of the Iceborn, The Cleaver & The Spirit Visage. That is right with these 3 items is all you will ever need from now on.
Iceborn Cleaver - Grasp of The Undying
This is where it all begins, Grasp is very easy and one of Yorick's Main and old Keystones very explanatory.
Demolish Rune, Maiden & The Ghouls all Benefit from one stat which is HP, So running this along with Overgrowth will make your Demolish Procs much stronger and since Black Cleaver gives way more HP and AD to the Ghouls its great.
This is a shitpost BUT Here's the reasoning:
- This Build is focused around The Maiden & The Ghouls, Play like AD Malz.
- The Maiden & The Ghouls only have 2 Ratios we can improve, HP & AD.
- Triforce Costs around 3.7k and Gives 25 AD & 250 HP
- Black Cleaver Costs 3k and Gives 40 AD & 400 HP & Ghouls Shred armor on their own.
- Trasncendance gives 10% CDR & any CDR exceeding 40% will be converted into 1.2 AD
- With these BC Builds you ALWAYS make the GHOULS do more dmg than Trifroce. Periodt.
What does all of this mean? Well with Black Cleaver and IBG you're capped at 40% CDR, Along with Visage or any other CDR you choose such as Death's Dance or Lethality ones, Mean you'll scale well and gain bonus AD for the CDR.
For all these other builds just keep in mind this is a Ghouls Focused Build and that you usually don't rush any of the 3 Core Items, BC, IBG nor SV. What I usually do is farm near 30+ CS and buy depending who I'm fighting.
If it's vs an AD I lose against or I'm short on Gold I buy Glacier then Finish BC along with Tabis.
If I can beat them with IBG I will buy a Glacier/Sheen get a long sword and ruby Crystal and rush The Frozen Fist.
If It's vs somebody you're confident you can beat, buy Long sword, Ruby and armor cloth.
If it's vs AP Long sword, Ruby and Mantle, Grab a Cowl and Build BC/ or Sheen into w.e. Fits.
Basically you always get longsword, Ruby crystal or Glacier Early, get Armor/MR with spare gold depending matchup.
This is as serious as it'll get, Here's some examples of Grasp with this build in action:
Iceborn Cleaver: Ghouls DMG [ Look at Leesin]
Iceborn Cleaver: You're Tanky Siege at Peace [Notice how I'm tanky enough to ignore them & Kill them]
Iceborn Cleaver: Tanky
Iceborn Cleaver: Its base DMG [Old Video]
Iceboborn Cleaver - The Conqueror
For Conqueror things are a bit more hectic but stronger ofcourse, You can take this one when you need the sustain or extra DMG vs Tanks and the like. The Strongest Rune for Yorick, but we all know if you're fighting another Conqueror user they can proc it before you so becareful.
Some videos of it in action:
Iceborn Cleaver: Yorick's Iceborn Cleaver [ 2nd Clip is the same but different POV to show the Ghouls dmg]
Iceborn Cleaver: Conqueror
I don't have a lot of Clips of Conqueror on Youtube yet so... Take this fresh Playlist where Releasing the Maiden is Funny:
Release The Maiden Playlist
Iceborn Cleaver - Comet
This one is the last one that's weird but works well vs Illaoi, Darius mostly but you can try it vs GP and other Ranged Tops.
Here's a few videos of it in action:
Iceborn Cleaver : Diamond Climb vs GP.
Iceborn Cleaver: How to beat Illaoi w/ Comet.
Iceborn Cleaver: 17 Min Nexus Tower vs Darius
Now that's all the Keystones I take, if you're wondering about their AVG difference well here you go:
Matchups
If you're wondering which one to use vs Who welp there's this, You can do what you like but other than going Grasp into anything, this is what I usually take Comet/Conqueror into, You can do your own thing ofcourse aswell, Since I don't really follow this to the letter at all.
Conclusion
Am I a troll? yes but I had the Longest Winstreak with this at the Start of the Season (Was Plat last Season) Along with running TP & Ghost on All my Other Champions
Yes I did Iceborn Cleaver on Illaoi and Trundle Too...
Not a KDA Player btw, Longest Winstreak though
and then I Finally got into Diamond, Don't take Ghost btw, I'm a troll and like hard games.
Games into Diamond, Stay Ornny
Save ZZROT
I will Miss Zzrot... If you loved the Item or don't want it removed Plz go here and tell the Devs how you feel about it or just upvote my comment and the others, because they rather remove the whole itemline of Raptor cloak than remove Stopwatch from the Fkn game.
Plz disregard this post if you don't like it but do give feedback to the Devs on the Balance Team about their recent changes, even if you don't like Raptor cloak items, keep in mind these are the only Splitpush Items we have since Banner of Command was removed, slowly the game will become ARAM heavy and next patch is Assassin Meta.
