Predecessor Builds > Serath > Pure Penetration
This build relies on high physical penetration to obtain high attack speed that is useful to Serath.
It lacks the potency of the on-hit meta, but if you build sufficient stacks with Malady and Ortus you become a monster.
Vanquisher is extremely useful in this build, and I’d prefer to have it, but Malady/Nightfall/Deathstalker are crucial to this build functioning, and the remaining items are fairly necessary for survivability, so it’s hard to fit Vanquisher in. If you are snowballing and crushing the enemy team, I might swap out a defensive item for Vanquisher, but if you are that potent, Vanquisher probably isn’t even necessary to secure kills.
Note: the attack speed listed in the stats is not the real attack speed of this build because it does not reflect the extra attack speed Deathstalker provides based on penetration.
