Hard counter to AD marksmen and physical carries. The damage reflection punishes auto-attack reliant heroes (Claude, Karrie, Granger) and forces them to rethink diving into you. Build it when the enemy ADC is fed.

Best on

Tanks, Fighters — frontliners who absorb multiple auto-attacks per fight.

Avoid when

Do not build vs. magic-heavy compositions; it only reflects physical damage.
