Introduction

Ao Kuang is a very deadly character through the mid to late game. His high scaling damage and high movement speed especially make him a very viable jungle pick. As of now Ao Kuang is an S tier character meaning that he is a first pick, first ban material within competitive play. But a more in depth way to explain S tier would be as follows;

(Your quintessential top tiers, which will generally dictate meta styling and composition. These gods are usually first pick / first ban material.)
[/list] (Strong characters that can perform really well on most team compositions (comps), most notably cannot be countered very easily.
[/list] (Have strong control over the meta, and would have to have a major item or ability that they depend on to lose control over the meta.

These builds are not the perfect builds, but they play very strongly to Ao Kuang's strengths which are ridiculously high scaling damage and high movement speed.

Items

Ao Kuang relies heavy on certain items to help him gain the high scaling damage that he needs.

Shoes of The Magi- This will always be the center of Ao Kuang's build, giving you +45 Magical Power which is quite a lot in the early game, +10 magical penetration will allow you to do more damage to your opponents and weaken their defenses, and finally giving you the +18 movement speed will complement Ao Kuang's strong movement speed.

Rod of Tahuti- Now this doesn't seem like the item to build first but early Rods are very powerful in the meta right now, and should be used on this character.

Polynomicon- Ao
