When you start, always get Ironguard. The extra money is crucial to getting built up fast so you can get a good amount of sustain as well as cp early on, giving you the upper hand in fights.
Go for
Frostburn first as it will allow you to land more Thunder strikes before they can get away or get help. Having frostburn early on also is a great way lock down laners when going for a gank or when in team fights allowing you or your allies to secure a kill where they would have gotten away otherwise. Energy wont be a concern once you get at least Void Battery while building into Frostburn.
In the beginning of the match do not focus on getting kills. If your in a fight early on DO NOT chase. Try and do enough damage without getting too overzealous to get them to teleport back to base. This will allow you to counter jungle and take a lead. Your focus should be to avoid feeding while farming gold and denying your enemies their jungle nodes.
When you hit level 6 then you can start going for kills. When you hit level 6 you should be at least finishing up your frostburn and then proceeding to get tons of CP with
Shatterglass. The extra boost in CP at this point in the match will make your Big Red Button hit so hard it will 1 shots enemies or do a debilitating amount of damage a majority of the time
You next item should be
Clockwork. This will allow you to have your
Big Red Button up more often and also give you a little more CP.
Alright so now we have pretty decent Burst damage. But what about sustained damage? With Thunder Strikes being on such a short cooldown, its a no brainer that
Aftershock is the item to go for. the cooldown of your aftershock almost matches that of aftershock.
Finally the items under SITUATIONAL.
Metal Jacket Get this if your enemies are stacking a lot of Weapon power and your on the ropes.
Aegis Get this if your enemies are stacking a lot of Crystal power and your on the ropes.
Broken Myth If your doing well but your enemies are starting to build a lot of shields.
Crucible If you cant decide which type of defense to get, health is always good too.
Alternating Current If your doing great and just want to kill things a little faster
I plan of revising this guide as i find more effective ways of approaching CP Joule according to my own play style. You may notice that the build has already been adjusted since the video of CP Joule came out.
