2.1- Crystal Power Items

-CP items(Crystal power) are the blue ones, they amplify abilities' damage (and Basic Attacks for heroes like Celeste).
Every item is used for a situation :

- Shatterglass(+150 Cp), nothing to say, buy it for damage lol.

- Broken Myth(+70 Cp, 12% Shield Pierce (Passive : every second on a fight against ennemy heroes you gain 4% Shield Pierce Max Stacks 9)), buy it when enemies start to build defence, Usually, you will always get this item late game, I mean WHO GOES RINGO WP FULL OFFENCE NO BOOTS AGAINST A CP TAKA.
R.I.P meh Rank.
(Tip : when building this item prioritise starting with a Heavy Prism than a Piercing Shard, i did some math and found that even against an Aegis Heavy Prism first is better than Piercing Shard).

- Frostburn(+100 Cp (Passive : Slows ennemies by 10% and scales with cp, max 35%)), Very important for cp laners as it keeps them safe from melee junglers (eg. Krul), it is a good replacement for Shatterglass Since it gives 100 cp damage + the passive which is better.

- Aftershock(+35 Cp, +25% Cooldown Speed, +2.5 Energy Recharge (Passive : after using an ability your next basic attack will deal 15% of target's max health and has 50% lifesteal, cooldown 2.5s)), buy this if enemy jugnler or laner buys health items, but it pairs well with some heroes with low cooldown abilities like Taka.(Tip : Sometimes you can use your aftershock amplified basic attack on the enemy captain to regain some health)

- Eve of Harvest(+55 Cp, +250 Damage, +5 Damage , +10% Cp Lifesteal (Passive : your next 600-1200 (lvl 1-12) has +25% Cp Lifesteal, Recharges over 40s)), can be good for Cp Laners ( like Skaarf and Celeste ), and it is a must have for heroes (like Reim and Samuel) since it amplifies their sustain which is what they are known for, it is really bad for heroes with no spam ability (2s or less cooldown) (like Taka and Koshka).

- Clockwork(+40% Cooldown Speed, +250 Max Energy, +7.5 Energy Recharge (Passive : amplifies Cp By 30%), Buy it for more frequent abilities or Better Energy Sustain.

- Echo(+300 Max Energy, +4 Energy Recharge (Active : The las ability to be put on cooldown is refreshed ( echo cooldown : (115% ability's cooldown + 15s))), The item to buy for deadly ultimates with long cooldow like captains, or Celeste's Solar Storm, but it can be really bad and almost useless for heroes with low cooldown abilities.

- Alternating Current(+60 Cp, +35% Attack Speed (Passive : every one of two basic attacks deals 70% of your cp as bonus damage)), DONT BUY THIS ON TAKA, it is for cp heroes who relies on basic attacks ( like Cp Idris and Cp Adagio), And it is TERRIBLE for heroes ( like Taka and Blackfeather).

2.2- Weapon Power Items

-Wp Items are the red ones, it amplifies basic attack damage ( not for heroes like Celeste and Lyra)
And also some abilities with Wp ratio ( such as Lance's Impale).
Wp items also are situational :

- Sorrowblade(+150 Wp), same as Shatterglass but for Wp.

- Serpent Mask(+85 Wp, +10% Wp Lifesteal(Passive : Same one for Eve of Harvest but for wp)), this item the opposite of Eve of Harvest can work well for any Wp hero as long as he builds right, but again it is situational you won't buy it every single game, Heroes (like Blackfeather and Rona) need that item as it is a core items for them.

- Spellsword(+90 Wp, +35% Cooldown Speed, +2.5 Energy Recharge (Passive : Every basic attack grants you 3 energy(9 on heroes))), it pairs well with Wp Taka and Wp Glaive, since they have Useful and energy burning Abilities ( Glaive´s Afterburn and Taka's Kaku), other than that it isn't really that good.

- Poisoned Shiv(+30 Wp, +30% Attack Speed, + 10% Wp Lifesteal (Passive : every one of three basic attacks apply mortal wound(reduces healing or lifesteal or fortified health by 33%))), The item to buy against Healers, Reim and Krul, and Serpent Mask, it is also good for laning early game for Wp laners.

- Tension Bow(+45 Wp, +10% Armor Pierce (Passive : every 6s your next basic attack deals 180 bonus Wp Damage)), The Item for early game, also it can be used with Aftershock for a burst build that mostly some Taka players use, remember to sell it late game since it falls off.

- Breaking Point(+55 Wp, +20% Attack speed (Passive : for each 140 Wp damage dealt to heroes you gain +10 wp up to 20 stacks max, it decays after a short time of no fight), this item is for the defensive path of playing("Kitting")which is stuttersteping(basically, moving between basic attacks animation)and gaining stacks until max and then rush for easy triple kill(or die and blame your support for not Fountain of Renewal when you are diving turret), it can also be used with crit builds as it will stack faster and gives tons of damage.

- Bonesaw(+15 Wp, + 25% Attack Speed, + 8% Armor Pierce (Passive : your basic attacks shred 5% of your enemy's armor for 3s. max stacks 8)), Buy it when they build Metal Jacket, or against a Joule Because of her Heavy Plating.

- Tornado Trigger(+40% Attack Speed, +35% crit chance, +20% crit Damage), the item for offensive path of Wp Carries to burst down ennemies, it goes well with Breaking Point, and it is a core item for Glaive.

- Tyrant's Monocle(+60 Wp, +35% Crit chance, +15% Crit Damage), it is used for crit builds with Tornado Trigger and can be a replacement for it for heroes (like Baron and SAW.

Will be updating soon ;)
