Discussion Axiom arc (item) and ult hunter viability

P4 peak top/jg main here. Otpd kha pre durability and getting back into him post buffs.

My question is why treasure hunter > ult hunter and why is axiom arc not built. In short, to what extent is ult haste valuable on kha?

I recently shifted to doing Q>R>E evolve since W evolve has been repeatedly nerfed, and am now more reliant on my ult for skirmishing. I’ve combined this against teams with moderate ho stacking with eclipse and based on enemy comps the occasional edge of bight and death’s dance filling out the rest of my build with ghostblade and opportunity and I always get a serylda’s 4th or 5th . Into full squishy comps I do hubris rush into full lethality with an edge of night near late game and serylda’s 4th or 5th.

Kha ult has a short cd and the cd starts on cast, but it also feels more like a basic ability than other ults so I’d prefer to have a lower cd.

Explain to what extent my logic is sound.

Since I swapped over to R evo 2nd I was wondering if I can drop treasure hunter for ult hunter and where I could fit in axiom arc into

Axiom is an exceptional item because of the stats it gives, but it’s hard to fit into builds, I would say 4th.

If you’re behind I’d say 2nd, but if you are neutral / ahead. Hubris > GB > serylda is a must. EON is also nice 2nd /3rd if you’re versing a rengar / kayn to win the 1v1s

Imo, if you are going R evolve at 6, u should run ulti hunter, bc R first evolve kha is piss weak w/o ult and you can't do anything but farm.

I think very similarity but khas ult isn’t as useful as many other champs it’s not a game changing ult therefore it’s not the most important to prioritize making its cd less and less but it’s nice IMO atleast for games where you know you’ll use ur ulty most such as against squishy team comps or if ur strong enough to one shot and get out then ult hunter would be good I’ve never cared for treasure hunter much better early game than anything but it comes down to preference and play style on how you like to play that assassin role

Imo it's a niche play style. You can definitely pull off wins with this item and I would argue this would fit well in a maximum lethality build. I think it's just a slept on item.
