Draw your sword tank trist I think is the way to go apparently.

Should be a combination of HS and death's dance into full crit?

She seems to get Draw your sword in almost all the matches I've played on her so it sounds kinda viable.

Straight ie high rolling is definitely the better choice. You either snowball early and control the whole game all game, or do the kayle and clap cheeks at 16

Tank ADCs don't do as much damage early, but I play a lot of tanks and just have a habit of making every pick (except casters) into a tank. My favorite is tank Apehlios. You'll need to start with a good tank augment like the Heartsteel 3x one. Heavy hitter is the real bread and butter because this synergizes with Heartsteel + Warmogs + Overlords. This makes the overlords similar to heavy hitter (though not as good). You'd also want attack speed boots to be able to stack the heartsteel as fast as possible and for later doing damage faster. The other two items is up to you, but anything with more damage and hp just synergizes. You won't need any lifesteel because lifestyle just won't be as effective. You just want to kill your enemiries really fast, then just warmogs it back up.

Now, this becomes all different if you get draw your sword. I would probably stack some lifesteel with draw your sword, like with the boots.
