Achilles Build

Start

Notes Bluestone Pendant is mostly the best choice on Achilles or your early clear is going to suffer. For your relic it will depend on the matchup and team comps. Teleport Fragment, Purification Beads, and Blink Rune are all equally viable choices.

Core

Notes Gladiator's Shield > Genji's Guard will be pretty much your core 2 in every game regardless of the matchup. Glad is too good on Achilles and Genji's is arguably one of the best defense items in the game. Based on the enemy comp you could go straight into Spirit Robe and pick up Mantle of Discord last, or you could grab one of the situational items (which I do most games) like Sov. I won't often build Robe and Mantle in the same game but I do think it's a viable thing to do, you get 10% CDR from red pot so you won't need to max 40 on items majority of the time. But I have them both here as core since you will be building one or the other every single game.

Situational

Notes You have a lot of situational options on Achilles, but your best items here are going to be the two anti heal auras Contagion or Pestilence, Sovereignty, [[Spectral Armor and Witchblade. Sov and the auras will almost always be good buys, whereas Spectral and Witchblade will depend heavily on the enemy comp. Pesti will win out over Bulwark of Hope most of the time (if your support is not planning to buy it) unless you're playing against heavy burst mage comps. Emperor's Armour is just for funsies.

Achilles's Skill Order Notes You will always wanna start with Shield of Achilles as it is the best clear for blue and first wave. After that you will put 2 points into Combat Dodge before getting Radiant Glory

Get Fatal Strike at level 5. You will not put another point into this until the rest of your abilities are maxed. There is no increase in execute threshold on Achilles ult, you will simply get a flat numbers boost so it isn't worth.
