Equipping Magic Boots early allows Cici to cast Yo-Yo Blitz and Buoyant Bounce far more frequently during the laning phase. Reducing her skill cooldowns is essential because Cici relies on constant ability casts to build stacks of Performer's Delight for extra movement speed. Faster cooldowns mean smoother kiting, quicker lane clear, and more frequent mobility leaps to escape ganks or chase down fleeing opponents in the EXP Lane.
Enchanted Talisman resolves Cici's resource management issues by offering continuous mana regeneration through Mana Spring. Since Yo-Yo Blitz demands constant casting to harass enemy laners, having unlimited sustain ensures Cici never has to recall during critical objective fights around the Turtle. Furthermore, the massive cooldown reduction helps her keep Performer's Delight at maximum stacks while continuously unlocking her ultimate, Curtain Call, to initiate multi-target skirmishes.
In-game passive Unique Passive - Mana Spring: Regenerates 15% Max Mana every 10s.
Clock of Destiny transforms Cici into a durable frontline threat through its Time passive, gradually granting additional Max HP and offensive power as the match unfolds. Because Cici must stay within close range to lock on with Yo-Yo Blitz, the added health prevents her from getting burst down easily. The scaling durability allows her to jump into teamfights with Buoyant Bounce, draw enemy fire, and safely maintain continuous pressure.
In-game passive Unique Passive - Time: Gains 20 extra Max HP and 4 extra Magic Power every 20s, capped at 15 stacks.
Concentrated Energy boosts Cici's sustained combat capabilities significantly through its Recharge passive. As Yo-Yo Blitz lands up to ten consecutive hits on enemy heroes, Cici quickly maxes out the item's damage amplification stacks. Combined with the spell vamp from Performer's Delight, this item turns Cici into an inescapable duelist who heals rapidly while shredding target health pools during extended teamfights and single-target trades.
In-game passive Unique Passive - Recharge: Increases Magic Power by 5 after dealing Magic Damage (this effect stacks up to 6 times and can only gain 1 stack every 0.4s). When reaching full stacks, increases Magic Damage by 12% for 3s.
Holy Crystal serves as Cici's late-game power spike, drastically elevating her offensive output via its Mystery passive. During the late game, enemy heroes buy heavy defensive stats, making raw power amplification essential. When Cici links two target heroes with Curtain Call and focuses them down using Yo-Yo Blitz, Holy Crystal ensures both targets take devastating damage simultaneously, allowing her to melt backline priority targets in seconds.
In-game passive Unique Passive - Mystery: Gains 21%-35% extra Magic Power (scales with level).
Blood Wings completes the build by providing massive survivability through its Guard passive shield alongside extra movement speed. In late-game engagements around the Lord, Cici often has to dive deep into enemy territory using Buoyant Bounce. The regenerating shield absorbs high initial burst damage, giving her enough time to apply Curtain Call and sustain through the fight while kiting smoothly thanks to the bonus movement speed.
In-game passive Unique Passive - Guard: Gains a shield equal to 200% of Magic Power. The shield will regenerate 20s after being damaged, and grants 30 Movement Speed while it lasts.
