Lord Dominik's Regards
  • Black Cleaver versus Tanky, Armor Stacking Comps
  • Mortal Reminder versus high lifesteal/healing comps (buy executioner's calling and finish item later most games, unless in need of the armor pen stats early as well!)
  • Titanic Hydra versus multiple melee champions to become way harder to kill, get AA reset and be able to win melee skrimishes better (usually combined with Sterak's Gage or Black Cleaver)
  • Stridebreaker versus 3+ ranged champions, replaces your Trinity Force.
  • Eclipse versus HP stacking comps (I prefer over Blade of the Ruined King, if not the doing the Core #2, #3 mentioned above).
  • Lord Dominic's Regard versus Tanky + High HP Comp + You're Ahead.

Make sure to adapt your 3rd, 4th and 5th to your game. You may need the kaenic as your third item instead of death's dance, or even Sterak's if they have mixed burst damage as your third, or other options from the list above.
