Hello everybody,
this build focuses on taking the maximum advantage from Ao's passive. If you follow this guide, your magical damage will reach the maximum damage possible + extra 100% damage to your basic attak. Sounds awesome, doesn't it? :)
The main problem with Ao is his low defense, and it'll always be however thanks to his passive we can take this to our advantage getting a "bit" of everything :D but I think this will explain everything (finished build stats):
Pros
+ Absurdly epic damage
+ Almost Infinite Mana
+ Pretty good lifesteal and good physical defense
+ 25% Cooldown reduction in lategame
Contra
+ Pretty expensive build
+ Takes some time to fully evolve (atleast 15 Minutes because of Ma'at's)
Your primary ability will be "Tornadoes" which will deal 1128(!!) magical damage to each enemy in the radius.
- Squall -> 791 magical damage + 50% slow for 3 seconds to the enemies hit.
- Spirits tempest -> 1903 magical damage
- Slither -> I only use it to get away when it's getting too dangerous, may combo it with Squall to get away (if your enemy isn't already dead by that ;P).
Base attak: 246,8 magical damage (493,6 after using an ability)
Every 60 seconds you can add the additional damage by Soul Reaver to your abilites. This combo used you ulti will 1 hit every average tank build.
IMPORTANT: Your starter items are Shoes (lvl 1) >> Poly (lvl 1) >> Potion (MP) >> Meditation (lvl 1 only!) >> Poly (lvl 3) >> Shoes of the Magi (lvl 3) >> follow the order above
The key of this build if Ao-Kuangs passive that's why I recommend you to buy Ma'at's Tome instead of the Book of Thooth as third item!

With Book of Thoth it takes 75 stacks gained by either killing minions, each kill= 1 stack or by killing enemy gods which awards you 5 stacks each kill. Each stack grants you 10 mana, up to 75 stacks. 75x10=750. Additionally, 3% of your maximum mana is converted to magical power.
In Ma'at's Tome you get one stack per minute, each stack grants you 50 mana, up to 10 stacks, ergo 10 minuts to complete. 10x50=500. Additionally, 2% of your maximum mana is converted to magical power.
*Both of the book have identical base stats.
Book of Thoth is better in any way and you can finish it up faster than the 10 minutes it takes for Ma'at's Tome because Ao Kuang has an insane wave-clear ability thanks to his 3, Tornadoes.
