Ao Kung build guide

This is a build for Ao Kuang. It's my first smitefire guide and one of my first (working) completely selfmade build. I'm not claiming to be an Ao Kuang expert but this build just works for me.
If you have any improvement please tell me.

Abilities:
I think ability 2 is the most important one so I level it to level 5 first. Ability 3 is prety good to so thats the second one I level to 5. His 1 is just for engaging or disengaging from a fight while invisible so I level that to level 1 until the rest is at 5. His ultimate is very handy but I mostly use it for the execute so I don't think leveling that above level 1 is very important at the start, the healing and damage is nice but I think ability 2 is more important for burst damage kinda early on in the game.

Items:
I start with potions and magic shoes so I can stay in lane untill I have around 2050 so I can buy Doom Orb for early power. I think meditation is great for engaging agains while low on health so the enemy won't expect it and it's great for mana and health at the start of the game.

Poly offcourse for the lifesteal and the extra damage on basic attacks.
Chrono's Pendant mostly for the cooldown and power but the MP5 is nice as well.
Soul Reaver for the power and the extra damage on the first hit witch is really helpfull.
Rod just for the power.

At the end I switch Doom Orb for Spear of desolation for the pen and the cooldowns are nice too, so your ultimate is up faster after an execute for example.
When the enemies deal alot of damage i choose to go for a protection item so I don't die in 3 hits. When I do this I trade the cooldown of the Chrono's Pendant for the pen and the extra power of the Spear of Desolation.



I hope this helped you and this build works for you guys too!
