Overview

Editor's pick · most-quoted
“Maokai still a solid top laner, but just struggles trying to win in most of these combats. Pantheon, you have to try and cheese the early game and try and deal as much damage as possible and try and get ahead during the early game. Kind of like Teemo, but most of the time you're just going to lose trades and you're just going to lose fights early on.”

Situational item swaps (explicit):

  • Mercury's Treads instead of Gluttonous Greaves — vs strong magic damage
  • Stridebreaker or Quicksilver Enchant — alternative boot enchant by playstyle

Build divergence notescross-source synthesis

Consensus across both aggregators

  • Keystone: differ — Jungler.GG runs First Strike, WR Meta runs Empowerment (Jungler.GG lists Empowerment in flex, suggesting it's the runner-up there too)
  • Core items: Both sources agree on the first four — Duskblade of Draktharr · Gluttonous Greaves · Blade of the Ruined King · Serylda's Grudge
  • Skill order: differ — Jungler.GG Q > E > W, WR Meta Q > W > E

Where the aggregators diverge

  • Item differences: Jungler.GG items 5–6 → Mortal Reminder, Serpent's Fang. WR Meta items 5–6 → The Collector, Edge of Night.
  • Late-game flex: WR Meta enumerates an explicit situational pool (boots/enchant swaps); Jungler.GG publishes one canonical build.
