Sivir Bot performs best with a build featuring Essence Reaver, Berserker's Greaves, Navori Flickerblade, Infinity Edge, and Mortal Reminder. The most effective rune setup for Sivir Bot includes Lethal Tempo, Presence of Mind, Legend: Alacrity, and Cut Down in the primary tree, paired with Absolute Focus and Gathering Storm in the secondary tree.
Be cautious when using your E. Many enemies will try to bait it out before looking to fight. If the enemy has CC, only use your E to block the CC. Do not use it if the enemy Support has their CC abilities up. If an enemy champion is too far forward or away from their team, activate your R to catch them out of position. You can then use the numbers advantage to take an objective. Try to use your Q and W when the enemy is near or inside the minion wave. This will allow you to push the minion wave and deal damage to the enemy at the same time.
For the most popular Sivir Bot build, Flash and Barrier are recommended as Summoner Spells. For runes, pick Lethal Tempo as your keystone, followed by Presence of Mind, Legend: Alacrity, and Cut Down in the primary tree. For the secondary tree, use Absolute Focus and Gathering Storm. For rune shards, take Attack Speed in offense, Adaptive Force in flex, and Health Scaling in defense. Start with Essence Reaver as your first item, followed by Berserker's Greaves and Navori Flickerblade. Finish your build with Infinity Edge, Mortal Reminder, and Bloodthirster. The skill order should be Q - W - E.
If you're looking for an alternative build, you can still use Flash and Barrier as your Summoner Spells. For runes, pick Press the Attack as your keystone, with Presence of Mind, Legend: Bloodline, and Coup de Grace in the primary tree. In the secondary tree, use Absolute Focus and Gathering Storm. For rune shards, select Attack Speed, Adaptive Force, and Health Scaling. Start with Essence Reaver, then build Berserker's Greaves, followed by Navori Flickerblade. Finish your build with Infinity Edge, Mortal Reminder, and Bloodthirster. Stick with Q - W - E for ability max order.
For an off-meta Sivir Bot build, take Flash and Barrier as your Summoner Spells. Choose Fleet Footwork as your keystone, followed by Presence of Mind, Legend: Alacrity, and Cut Down in the primary rune tree. For the secondary tree, pick Absolute Focus and Gathering Storm. Use Attack Speed, Adaptive Force, and Health Scaling as your rune shards. Build Essence Reaver as your first item, then Berserker's Greaves and Navori Flickerblade. Complete your build with Infinity Edge, Mortal Reminder, and Lord Dominik's Regards. The ability order remains Q - W - E.
Depending on your game context, matchup, and enemy champions, you may want to adjust your items or runes. Consider your team's composition, the enemy team, and the game state when planning your Sivir build. For example, if you’re facing a heavy Magic damage enemy, you might want to take Magic Resist in your rune shards, or if you're up against a lot of physical damage, Armor may be more beneficial.
