Essence Reaver and Bloodthirster improve the critical chance, haste, and sustain of melee attacks empowered by Formless Blade. Lord Dominik's Regards and Infinity Edge provide Armor penetration and critical damage, while Galeforce is the sole active item for adjusting entries around Slipstream and Apotheosis. In the combo simulation, chaining abilities and attacks builds Conqueror quickly and gives the best extended-fight value.
