Boots

This Mercury build is pretty stupid. If you use this build, then I will be rather shocked because, let's be honest, it really does suck duck. I would like to thank my fellow waifu for this build. I will not be able to tell you who my true eternal waifu is.

So yeah, the build. The best option for Merc's first item is Warrior Tabi. This is because Ninja Tabi sucks. Although it does raise AS (Attack Speed), there isn't any need as you will more than likely cap out the AS further on in this build. The nice damage at the start of a match is of course, nice. If you have the mental capacity of a shrew, than go ahead and buy Travelers Shoes. If not, then Warrior Tabi is the best item.

Damage Items

A must for Mercury is Jotuun's Wrath. Why? you ask? Well, it's pretty simple. Jotunn's Wrath gives Mercury damage. Pretty simple right? Jotuun's also gives a cooldown reduction by 20%, and gives a slight penetration bonus. Jotuun's is also kinda cheap. Compare it to things like Deathbringer, and you will quickly see why Jotuun's Wrath is the best item for damage.

Wind Demon is the next damage-based item you should get. It allows you to kill things. Fast. Like really fast. This is because Mercury is an Assassin. Well, actually Wind Demon is just awesome. Giving both power and critical chance increase, Wind Demon is a very good option. It's also cheaper than items like Deathbringer or Malice.

Attack Speed

Attack Speed is great. Mercury needs good items for AS, like Hastened Fatalis, Executioner and Ichaival. Hastened Fatalis allows you to keep up with enemies, allowing you to annoy the **** out of them whilst you punch them in the ***. Executioner allows AS up-grade, and adds a bit of damage. Ichaival allows for a great AS boost, and gives a bit of penetration. Combine this with Jotuun's Wrath from before, and you might actually be able to beat down Guardians in about 2 hits (not really that was a joke you mug).

I have crippling depression

I HATE mercury by the way. I think he is the worst. Follow this build and you will follow your own death. Good day my fellow imperial commanders.
