Full disclosure before I start. I don't play any champs that run Jack of All Trades, so my sense of what it's actually for and how good it is basically doesn't exist. This is just an idea I had. The whole thing relies on the fact that AP isn't a completely wasted stat on her now, so she can buy Dark seal and not feel too bad about it.

Build either Bork or Kraken, whichever you prefer. Grab a Dark seal early. After your first item, go Merc Treads into Serrated Dirk + Crit Cloak to build into Collector. Between all those components, you hit 10 stacks before your second item is finish. From there, you can sell Dark Seal for something like Black Cleaver or Death's Dance. If you went Bork, you could go Hull Breaker third.

Alternate build: Build whatever first item you want. Kraken, Yun tal, or BORK with Dark Seal and Mercs, then cloth armor + glowing mote to build into Death's Dance. This gets you 10 stacks faster since it is cheaper than Dirk + Cloak. This one's probably more consistent. Get you the 10 JOAT much much earlier.

Obviously this is rushing JOAT as hard as possible. No clue if that's actually optimal because, again, I've never played a JOAT champ.

What the title says. From what I've played, it's okay? Feels a bit weird cause it's PBE and it's laggy, but also in the sense that Im not used to her yet. I think the immediately most jarring thing about this bel was how slow she attacked now that her passive stacks are gone. Im not saying her attacks are weaker, it's just different.

Also, the W reset in the early game is legit useless cause it restores a Q direction but it's still on a 4 second cooldown so you can't Q W Q onto a target and it feels REALLY bad. If they change anything immediately, they need to change it so W actually reduces Q cooldown by like 75% or something. Another thing. It feels weird without her out of combat movespeed. You can't pressure and chase down people like you used to be able to in late game.

About the atk spd, really feel like she needs Guinsoos to feel even remotely good to pilot. I think that's the direction they are tryna push her with all the on hit and AP scaling changes as well. She feels really bad without it i won't lie. Her late game damage output is nuts though. You do giga amounts of true damage.

Idk what the optimal build might be on her yet. Since her healthpool is larger due to changes to her form, Armor and Mr are probably more efficient on her. If Im sticking to my gut, it's probably ditch Krakens first and go BORK + Guinsoos into bruiser. BORK instead of Krakens cause she needs a bit of stickiness. Hell, I remember a post on here a while ago saying they go Guinsoos first. It might work.
