Phantom Dancer Wild Rift item guide

What it does

Phantom Dancer is the crit-fluidity item for ADCs that mainly want to breathe better in extended fights.

When to buy it

It is a strong buy for crit ADCs that want to hold distance and keep a strong sense of mobility during front-to-back fights. It is weaker if your champion mostly needs a harsher damage multiplier or a more specific utility tool.

Three common mistakes

1. Buying attack damage or attack speed on a champion whose damage comes from abilities.
2. Buying it without checking what is actually killing you in this game.
3. Judging it by its stat line alone and ignoring its passive or active effect.

Counts come from the reviewed champion builds in the Nexus Lab. The mistakes are Nexus editorial guidance chosen by what the data shows, not a statistic.
