Not every item suits every champion in Riot Game's League of Legends and that's a fact. The Guinsoo's Rageblade is no exception to this matter as it works extremely well with champions who rely on attack speed. This is especially true when you consider the fact that it enhances basic attacks and synergizes well with champions who have on hit effects.
Now, there are a handful of champions that can potentially benefit greatly from the Guinsoo's Rageblade. However, if you're looking for the absolute best ones then they'll have to be Vayne, Kai'Sa, Jax, Varus, and Master Yi. All of these champions benefit greatly from a boost in attack speed and are able to deliver on hit effects.
We'll be going through five of the best champions to use Guinsoo's Rageblade on, so the next time you're in a League of Legends match you know when to buy this item.
Kai'Sa
The first champion you should use the Guinsoo Rageblade on is Kai'Sa. As a matter of fact, she's also a fan favorite to use this item on and has won multiple polls in the past. This is no surprise, as she's able to benefit from both the attack speed and ability power boost that the Guinsoo's Rageblade provides.
Kai'Sa is a versatile ADC who can deal both physical and magic damage. Guinsoo's Rageblade provides attack speed and AP, which benefits her play style. The item enhances her passive ability, Second Skin, allowing her to evolve her abilities more quickly based on her stats. With Guinsoo's Rageblade, Kai'Sa can reach her evolved form faster, unlocking additional power and versatility.
All in all, this means that you'll be able to hit harder AND hit faster. What's there to not like about this combination? Players who already main Kai'Sa are definitely recommended to give Guinsoo's Rageblade a shot the next time they're in a match to see a noticeable advantage.
Vayne
Up next, the second champion that you should use Guinsoo's Rageblade on is Vayne. Vayne is a high damage ADC known for her ability to shred tanks. Guinsoo's Rageblade synergizes perfectly with her kit, as it allows her to quickly stack up her Silver Bolts passive. Each third attack from Vayne deals bonus true damage based on the enemy's maximum health, making her a formidable threat against tanky champions.
Of course, tank champions aren't the only ones that should be careful of a Vayne with Guinsoo's Rageblade. Even without the added bonus true damage that Vayne's passive deals, the added attack speed still helps in dealing with enemies that have low health quickly and efficiently.
Jax
Jax is a versatile champion who can excel in both split pushing and team fighting. Guinsoo's Rageblade synergizes well with Jax's playstyle as it provides additional attack speed and amplifies his damage output. After all, the only thing more scary than a strong Jax is a strong AND fast Jax who can take you out in mere seconds.
Jax's passive ability, Relentless Assault, grants him bonus attack speed with each consecutive basic attack. With Guinsoo's Rageblade, Jax can stack his passive faster, allowing him to quickly reach maximum attack speed and deal increased damage. Enemies with low health especially can be very easy targets for a Jax with Guinsoo's Rageblade.
Varus
Varus is an ADC with strong poke and team fight capabilities. Guinsoo's Rageblade synergizes with Varus due to his ability to apply Blight stacks with basic attacks and abilities. When detonated, the Blight stacks deal bonus magic damage based on the enemy's maximum health.
Guinsoo's Rageblade allows Varus to quickly stack Blight on targets, increasing the frequency of detonations and amplifying his overall damage output. The increased attack speed from the item also helps Varus in quickly firing multiple basic attacks, making him a potent threat in team fights.
With a Guinsoo's Rageblade induced Varus, the Blight explosions will be more consistent and therefore more deadly. Naturally, there's also the base ability power and attack speed increase that this item offers which Varus can really benefit from, especially if you build him as an AP champion.
Master Yi
Master Yi is a melee champion known for his exceptional dueling and high sustained damage. Guinsoo's Rageblade greatly benefits Master Yi due to his passive ability, Double Strike, which grants bonus damage on every other basic attack. With the increased attack speed from Guinsoo's Rageblade, Master Yi can stack his Double Strike faster, resulting in more frequent bursts of damage.
If making Master Yi quicker and stronger wasn't enough, the item also provides AD and AP, enhancing the damage output of Master Yi's abilities. If you thought Master Yi was an overpowered champion before, then with the Guinsoo's Rageblade you'll be playing as him every single match.
Off Meta Pick
While we've already gone through five of the best champions to use Guinsoo's Rageblade on, how about going through a champion most of you probably didn't see coming? We are, of course, talking about everyone's favorite sneaky rat, Twitch, our off meta pick.
Guinsoo's Rageblade synergizes with Twitch's kit in a few ways. Firstly, the item provides attack speed, which is crucial for Twitch's playstyle. Twitch excels in extended fights where he can continuously apply his passive ability, Deadly Venom, to multiple targets. With the increased attack speed from Guinsoo's Rageblade, Twitch can stack Deadly Venom more quickly, allowing him to deal additional true damage over time and potentially melt through the enemy team.
Moreover, Twitch's ultimate ability, Rat-Ta-Tat-Tat, grants him bonus attack range and allows his basic attacks to pierce through enemies. Guinsoo's Rageblade amplifies Twitch's ability to hit multiple targets with each attack, as the item's passive, Phantom Hit, causes every third basic attack to trigger an additional attack. This can work really well with Twitch's ultimate ability, allowing him to deal more damage in a shorter period of time.
