Predecessor Builds > Gideon > Empowered Abilities
Build to Magnify then when attacking players try to get 3 hits then use an ability. It's got strong 1v1 potential. Team fights, you are a bit squishy so make sure you dont get jumped. This isn't running Truesilver, so be careful when you ult. You can get interrupted. That said, an empowered ult absolutely shreds. If you want to get in the air for your ult, use flash, not your teleport. As far as I can tell the teleport eats the empower (even though it doesn't benefit from it.)
The final item can flex. I'm currently using Wraith Boots to get through their magical armor a little more, but honestly anything with decent ability power should be fine. Or you can grab truesilver bracelet if you find your ult getting shut down in team fights.
If you are comfortable with it, you can run Obelisk instead of Shieldbearer for more damage.
