This is the build you want if you want to oneshot enemy carry, mid, and maybe even jungle if they're bad.

Notes

The crit chance start here is something I didn't expect to work, but after playing a lot of games, I found that it actually led to me clearing early camps quicker than running Stonecutting tier 1.

You're going to want to farm jungle until you hit 1600 gold, which you'll immediately back and buy boots. Talaria or Warrior's depending on your individual playstyle (the passive does synergize with Talaria well so it's nice but 4% movement speed does not equal 25 additional power). Then, I like to finish rage (huge spike), asi (huge spike), deathbringer (huge spike), and hydra's (huge spike). The last item before we buy speed pot and sell boots is pretty situational. If I feel extra lifesteal would bump up my survivability considerably, I'll go bloodforge. If I want some extra damage on my basics, arondight. If I'm dying a lot, maybe even a winged blade or magi's blessing. Once you get your sixth item you want to start thinking about which situational items you want here. Normally for oneshotting squishies I like to keep with bloodforge and arondight, but keep in mind living through fights may be easier with defensive items.

Notes

Max out your 1 and ult as fast as possible, but pick up the 3 on second level and the 2 on 4th level. Having extra damage by ranking up your 1 at level 3 will considerably reduce your jungle camp clearing time.
