Welcome to my Ao Kuang guide - The Silent MONSTER.

Ao Kuang is technically a "Magician", but we can bend his abilities and use him as the deadliest mage assasin in the game.

The main game style for Ao involves the Fatalis (more info next chapter). Start your engagement by activating your dragons (Skill #2), and depending on the situation go stealthy first and then hit your 3, or go straight for the 3 if there's a need for a quick escape afterwards.
With the mighty sword hitting your opponent, keep circling and chasing them while spamming the basic attack. In under a second or two, they will perish.

Items Guide

Shoes of The Magi
Shoes of the magi are in my opinion a better choice over the Shoes of the Focus for the purpose of the higher mage power bonus. We already have enough attack speed as it is with the fatalis and the demonic ring, so we'd like to focus on the mage power for now.

Hastened Fatalis
Getting the fatalis early in the game will allow you to start killing right away. At first, it's suggested to go for enemies with less than half HP. Only after we get your mage power will you be able to assasinate enemies with full HP.

Rod of Tahuti
This is where the damage boost to your hits come. We covered the attack speed with the fatalis, now lets make those hits count.


Demonic Grip
At this point we're adding critical changes to THREE different things; our magic power, our attack speed, and most importantly a buff that makes our basic attacks reduce opponent's magic defense. This works great with a 2 followed by a 3 and an engagement into basic attacks combat.

Spear of The Magus
A little penetration for our basic attacks won't hurt, seeing as that's our main source of damage.

Telkhines Ring
A final item to wrap it up with additions to our magic power, attack speed, and another valuable buff to our basic attacks.

*You can switch the spear of the magus and telkhines ring depending on the match. If the enemy team have a lot of defensive items/tank gods, a spear of the magus would probably better come before the telkhines ring.

Agreed with that. But this comment is more for the title, why would you call him the "silent monster" when he shouts out "A Mighty Sword!" and other quotes all the time?

first of all, bbcoding plz. Jodenito has a guide for it here somewhere...

that item order is all wrong. why is telkhines last and rod third? telkhine is an ealry game item that is sold later, not the other way around

add item explanations and teamfight section, also what role is this guide for? if jungle, add jungling route

no character in the game can kill another character in less than one second if voth r full build (at least in season 1 i believe) the closest anyone gets is hou yi with ataraxias build swaaping out heartseeker for golen bow, which is 2.1 sec i think.

-1 until changes to item order, adding section, and bbcoding
