The author's words: bread-and-butter. Max attack damage and defensive stats for damage and dueling.
21 in Offense stacking attack damage and armor penetration — Deadliness, Weapon Expertise, Brute Force and Sunder are the four the guide names. It leaves the last 9 to Defense or Utility; they are in Defense here.
Skill order
ultimate at 6, 11 and 16Aegis Protection
- Spear Shot (Q) takes points at levels 1, 4, 5, 7, 9.
- Aegis of Zeonia (W) takes points at levels 3, 14, 15, 17, 18.
- Heartseeker Strike (E) takes points at levels 2, 8, 10, 12, 13.
- Grand Skyfall (R) takes points at levels 6, 11, 16.
The guide names no skill order. This is the standard Q max its own advice implies — poke with Spear Shot — and not something it states.
Why these items
Openingsall within the 475 starting gold
Doran's Blade start — The guide's opening. Mana potions come on the first back, so Spear Shot poke does not stop.

Notes
the author's own wordsClassic Pantheon
Poke throughout the lane, then all-in to finish the job. He is strongest earlier, so build a lead with oppressive play —
poke and tower dives off the passive and
— and use it to close the game before the fall-off.
The guide names three legendary items and no boots, no sixth slot, no skill order and no summoner spells. Those are left empty here rather than filled in.
