Chapter Title

This build is tanky, short cool down time, and a good amount of damage in beginning, middle, and especially in endgame. If your farming is on point and secured, purchasing and getting all the damage buffs clocks out 329/400 physical damage. Btw you would want to be aggressive on clearing the waves and attacking your opponent. If you prefer more cdr early game then purchase Jotunn's wrath rather than The Crusher.

Build some damage on Solos is okay, but I guess you have gone too far :v
I'm sorry, but your build is not tanky, you need more defensive Items to be "tanky".

If you really want damage, (which I personally don't think will make much difference on Nike) then your build could be something like: Warrior Tabi, Void Shield, Ancile, Jotunn's Wrath, Mantle of Discord and Masamune. Power, full cooldown reduction and some tanky.

Well it works for me most of the time. Thanks for the suggestions though.

No offense, but I don’t consider this build tanky at all. Sure, you have Spirit Robe and Pestilence, but you don’t have any dedicated physical defense items and neither items that provide damage mitigation. Besides, CDR should be rushed on Nike as soon as possible, and your 20% CDR item is being build in the 5th slot, so you would spend the majority of the match with only 10% CDR from Gladiator's Shield, and that would be a nightmare.

I would never build The Crusher or Jotunn's Wrath on Nike, unless you’re playing her as a Jungler. But in Solo? Never. As a Solo Laner, your job is to tank damage and disrupt the enemy team while protecting and assisting your allies. If you’re going to build damage items, they need to give protections as well, so I’m thinking about items like Void Shield, Mystical Mail or Masamune, and maybe items from the hammer tree (Frostbound, Runeforged and Blackthorn), but I wouldn’t build these on Nike.

Also, your skill order is a bit of a mess. I recommend prioritizing a skill and leveling it to the max, instead of putting a point in all of them equally. In Nike’s case I’d prioritize Rend, Plan of Action and Valiant Leap in this order, and I’d level up Sentinel of Zeus whenever possible.

So, here are some example builds I just posted in another comment:

Against Physical Solo-Laner:
Starter: Round Shield, Chalice of Healing, 3x Healing Potion.
Full Build: Gladiator's Shield, Warrior Tabi, Breastplate of Valor, Oni Hunter's Garb, Hide of the Urchin, Void Shield and either Masamune or Spirit Robe to replace Gladiator's.

Against Magical Solo-Laner:
Starter: Enchanted Buckler, Chalice of Healing, 3x Healing Potion.
Full Build: Ancile, Warrior Tabi, Genji's Guard, Mystical Mail, Hide of the Urchin, Void Shield and Spirit Robe replacing Ancile (but you can also keep it, up to you).

If against a healer, swap Ancile or Genji's Guard with Pestilence, but prioritize CDR items afterwards.

Mantle of Discord is also a good option for a late game item
