  1. First buy

    1. Doran's Ring
    2. Health Potion, 2 of them

    Twisted Fate starts with 240 mana and Wild Cards costs 60; four casts empty him, which is what the regen is for.

    Alternative start:
    1. Boots of Speed
    2. Health Potion, 4 of them

    No dash and a 330 base leaves Twisted Fate one way to miss a skillshot, which is on foot.

    Alternative start:
    1. Null-Magic Mantle
    2. Health Potion, 2 of them

    Take this over the ring when the mid laner is a mage; 60 health is not the stat that saves you.

  2. Early

    • Sheen

    Sheen into Lich Bane.

  3. Core

    • Lich Bane
    • Sorcerer's Shoes
    • Rabadon's Deathcap

  4. Late

    • Zhonya's Hourglass
    • Void Staff
    • Morellonomicon

  5. Full build

    • Lich Bane
    • Sorcerer's Shoes
    • Rabadon's Deathcap
    • Zhonya's Hourglass
    • Void Staff
