Infinite Crisis has shut down.
With its departure, Dawnbase will be going into permanent read-only mode and will remain as both an archive of information about Infinite Crisis, and a reminder of the times we all had with the game.
Hats off to you all. It was a pleasure, ladies and gentlemen.

IntroYou call that a guide? THIS is a guide!
As you can imagine, going over all of the items in Infinite Crisis is no easy task. In all, there are 71 items, 22 attack, 22 defense, 22 power and 5 others.
For this guide, I will aslo calculate the cost for every base stat using the most basic item for that stat. Example, the Code Blade at level 1 costs 500 credits and grants 12 attack, giving attack a base cost of 42 credits a point. This, as you can tell, isnt perfect at all, and I will be rounding to the nearest point to make things a little more simple on me. There are not basic items like in League, so, as far as i can tell, you can't perfectly calculate the value of every stat.
I will be just looking at the final component of each item progression, with the exception of the gambits at level 2, since they give credits over time, and are worth not upgrading before starting a new item in most cases.
(If an item listed here is different than what is descriped on Dawnbase, i have made sure that I have the right one by looking at the item in game)

10 Health Regen and 25 Power Armor for 750 credits
750 - 23(10) = 550 / 25 = 20.8

1250 - 30(21.429) = 607.13 / 30 = 20.238

Move Speed has a value of 50 credits per point.
Yay I got every statistic's value calculated, saved for the stats that are unique to only one item (example, flat and percentage penetration for attack and power penetration).
So then we (I) move on to individual items at their max level build. I will add their additional cost effectiveness with each amp if i have the time.
I will add my opinion of each item once I can, to give an accurate situation in where it would be useful.
(note that keywords with the same name and different numbers only apply the highest number unless they explicitly say that they stack)
Items are organized by group first, then alphabetically.
Individual Items:
Atlantis Gambit (2)
Cost: 750 credits
8% Attack Lifesteal
Investment: Gain 3 Credits every 10 seconds.
8(83) = 664 credits
750 - 664 = 86 / 3 * 10 / 60 = 4.78 = 4 minutes and 47 seconds
Level 2 Atlantis Gambit is cost effective after having it for 4 minutes 47 seconds.
When to get it: Like all gambits, get this when you are behind and can benefit from the stats.
Atlantis Gambit (4)
Cost: 2,250 credits
8% Attack Lifesteal
Atlantis Aura: +15% Attack Speed and +10% Attack Lifesteal for all nearby allies.
Targeting System: Activate on a target to slow them by 20% and mark them for 4 seconds. Allies who Basic Attack marked targets are healed 10 Health per hit (60 second cooldown).
8(83) + (15(50) + 10(83)) = 2244 credits with only you in aura
Atlantis Gambit is cost effective without anyone else in the aura and without its active.
When to get it: Traditionally, an aura item is build on supports to, well, support their team. If your team comp includes three marksmen or bruisers that can really use the aura, then it would be good on a support, while adding a decent slow on a high priority target. Alternatively, an assassin, such as Nightmare Batman could use the active to slow his target while reaping the benefits of its stats as well.
Atomic Axe (2)
Cost: 2,250 credits
30 Attack Damage
Razor 2: + 30% Attack Penetration
30(42) = 1260 credits
Atomic Axe needs its passive to have a value of at least 990 credits to be cost effective
When to get it: The idea is pretty basic; if you deal mainly physical damage, and your opponents are building attack armor, you get this item. However, I would get this anyway on anyone who has high damage output, like marksmen, attack damage assassins or attack damage blasters, as a core item to any build.
[[Batman's Utility Belt (4)]]
Cost: 3,250 credits
300 Health, 15% Attack Speed, 10% Cooldown, Reduction, 10 Move Speed for 3,250 credits
Purge: Activate to purge negative status effects and gain 50% resilience for 5 seconds (60 second cooldown).
300(3.3) + 15(50) + 10(25) + 10(50) = 2490 credits
Batman's Utility Belt needs its active to have a value of at least 760 credits to be cost effective
When to get it: This item gives a little bit of everything, but is mainly build on marksmen having problems with being CC locked. The active can save your life, thus turning the tide of a team fight. Good on any attack damage champion, though.
[[Cheetah's Claw (4)]]
Cost: 2,250 credits
12% Attack Lifesteal , 20% Attack Speed
Desperate Speed 1: Upon falling below 50% health you gain 20% Attack Speed and 10 Move Speed until you do not deal or take damage for 5 seconds.
10(83) + 20(50) = 1830 credits without passive
With active 1830 + 50(20) + 10(50) = 3330 credits with passive
Cheetah Claw is not cost effective without its active triggered.
When to get it: This item is all about how well you can use its passive before leaving the fray. Its good early and mid game on squishy champions, since you can gain the upper hand when burst damage is relatively low while its passive is in effect. However, it tends to fall off late game, as anyone who can get a squishy that low is able to kill him/her/it without the user having to escape the fight completely. If your team is ahead, this probably won't happen.
Claw Of Horus (3)
Cost: 2,750 credits
40 Attack Damage, 40 Attack Armor
Kinetic Armor: Your Basic Attacks steal 3 Attack Armor for 5 seconds (max 5 stacks).
40(42) + 40(21) = 2520 credits
2520 + 15(21) = 2835 credits when adding the armor gained with the passive
2830 + 15(21) = 3150 credits when stealing armor from enemy champion (assuming every point taken away adds to the item value)
The Claw of Horus needs its passive to have a value of 230 to be cost effective, and is cost effective when stealing 2 stacks worth of armor from an enemy champion.
When to get it: This item is an attack damage bruiser item by nature, since it gives attack armor and attack damage, with a splash of attack lifesteal. Plus, the attack armor shred is good against low attack armor targets, due to armor's diminishing returns.
Coda Blade (4)
Cost: 2,500 credits
40 Attack Damage
Piercing: + 15 Attack Penetration
Wounding Attack: Targets hit by your Basic Attacks have their healing and regeneration reduced by 50% for 1.5 seconds.
40(42) = 1680 credits
Coda Blade needs its passives to have a value of 820 credits to be cost effective.
When to get it: Its good if you deal lots of attack damage through abilities to low armor targets. It can also be useful if you need to build attack damage on a low budget if you are behind. Moreover, if you are dueling high sustain champions, its Wounding passive will ruin your enemy's day in a hurry. In conclusion, its 'hit or miss' and situational.
[[Deadshot's Visor (3)]]
Cost: 2,750 credits
300 Will, 15% Attack Speed, 40 Attack Damage
Intensity: Toggle on to spend 3% of your current Will to deal bonus Attack Damage equal to 2 times the spent Will to all targets of single-target skills and basic attacks.
300(2) + 15(50) + 40(42) = 3030 credits
Deadshot's Visor is cost effective without its toggle.
When to get it: If you need the stats while getting a bunch of auto attacks off (or single target spells i guess) this item is for you. Which is a shame because the toggle works best with assassins/blasters, neither of which really benefits from attack speed. Oh well worth.
[[Deathstroke's Claymore (2)]]
Cost: 3,000 credits
50 Attack Damage, 25% Attack Speed
Slayer: Your Basic Attacks deal 5% of the target's current Health as bonus Attack Damage.
50(42) + 25(50) = 3350 credits
Deathstroke's Claymore is cost effective without its passive.
Unique mod: Empowered - adds the active Terminate (Activate to deal 5% of your target's max Health as Attack Damage and increase further damage you deal to them by 10% for 5 seconds (60 second cooldown).) at tier two.
When to get this: It gives a Marksman's their favorite stats: attack damage and attack speed. Usually a core item instead of a situation item for them due to the fact that the passive can be disreguarded. It is also a good item for assassins and some bruisers when coupled with the terminate active, giving the user much more single target burst.
[[Huntress' Crossbow (3)]]
Cost: 2,500 credits
50 Attack Damage, 15% Cooldown Reduction
50(42) + 15(25) = 2475 credits
Huntress' Crossbow isn't cost effective.
When to get this: Crossbow is core on any attack damage champions that rely on abilities to kill enemies. Simple really, and it's even worth keeping late game, dispite its relatively low cost. The exception is Catwoman, since her cooldowns are already low and her passive gives reduces her cooldowns per credit gained, but I'm not saying it is bad on her.
[[Joe Chill's Revolver (4)]]
Cost: 4,000 credits
70 Attack Damage, 20% Critical Chance
Deadly 2: + 50% Critical Damage
70(42) + 20(16) = 3260 credits
Joe Chill's Revolver needs its passive to have a value of at least 740 to be cost effective.
When to get it: Critical chance is for almost exclusively auto attackers, and i think the cost effectiveness of this stat is an outlier in my calculations. Its great for dealing high amounts of burst damage to single targets, just keep in mind you are giving up a certain amount of damage early for the late game.
[[Joker's Crowbar (2)]]
Cost: 1,000 credits
12 Attack Damage
Attack Harvest: Gain 1 Attack Damage every 90 seconds and with each Champion Kill or Assist (max 40 Attack Damage). Gain 10 Move Speed at 40 stacks.
12(42) = 504 credits
504 + 40(42) + 10(50) = 2684 credits when fully stacked
1000/42 = 23.810 = 24 attack damage
24 - 12 = 12
12 * 90 = 1080/ 60 = 18 minutes
The Joker's Crowbar needs to stack for 18 minutes (minus 90 seconds per kill/assist) to be cost effective
When to get it: To be honest its the least useful of the three harvest items. There are more items that give more attack damage plus other stats and passives that outshine the vanilla verson of this item. If you are looking to get this I would get one of the mods for it. The move speed is nice but it doesn't make up for what this item lacks overall. I mean look at how many auto attacks it took the Joker to kill Todd. Too soon?
[[Lobo's Chain (4)]]
Cost: 3,000 credits
300 Health, 30 Attack Damage
Attack Harrier: Basic Attacks slow your target's Move Speed by 25% decaying over 2 seconds (20% slow for Ranged Basic Attacks).
300(3.3) + 30(42) = 2250 credits
Lobo's Chain needs its passive to have a value of at least 750 credits to be cost effective.
Unique mod: Hook Shot: Activate to throw a hooked chain that Cripples the first target hit for several seconds or until the target moves far enough away to break the chain (45s Cooldown). (Tier 4)
When to get it: Another bruiser item or a pseudo defensive item for a squishy attack damage champion. The slow also guarantees that champions that have no escape or have used their escape cannot, well, escape. Better on auto attack champions, due to how the slow decay works (meaning you want to proc it as soon as possible between attacks).
Marauder Knife (4)
Cost: 2,250
40 Attack Damage, 5% Attack Lifesteal
Marauder Burst 3: +30% Damage to Creatures
Marauder Syphon: When you deal damage to a creature, regain Health equal to 6% of the damage dealt and Will equal to 4% of the damage dealt.
40(42) + 5(83) = 2095
Marauder Knife needs its passives to have a value of at least 155 to be cost effective.
When to get it: The situation is pretty straight forward; If you are jungling with an attack damage champion, you should get this. Simple as that. It offers good damage and sustain for going between jungle camps. However I honestly think if you are considering taking this item to level 4 Soultaker Katana (4) is better overall in lane.
Mega Rod (3)
Cost: 3,000 credits
30 Attack Damage, 30% Attack Speed
Shockwave 3: Your Basic Attacks explode, dealing 10 damage + 50% of your total Attack Damage to other enemies nearby.
30(42) + 30(50) = 2760 credits
The Mega Rod needs its passive to have a value of at least 240 to be cost effective.
When to get this: This item has one purpose and one purpose only: split pushing. The faster you can clear a wave, the faster turrets fall to your feet. I don't think the radius of the splash is that great to work that well in team fights, unless your enemies are reeeeally packing up tight.
Nil Weapon
Cost: 500 credits
75 Health, 5 Attack Damage
Attack Syphon: Auto attacks heal you for 5 health.
75(3.3) + 5(42) = 523.5 = 457.5 credits
Nil Weapon is cost effective without its passive.
When to get it: Its a good starting item. Not much else to say about it. Don't underestimate its passive, continue to auto attack to get back health, bit by bit.
Promethium Mace (4)
Cost: 1,500 credits
30 Attack Damage
Refundable: You can sell this Artifact back for full value.
30(42) = 1260 credits
Promethium Mace needs its passive to have a value of at least 240 credits to be cost effective.
When to get it: If you got extra credits and want a bit more attack damage, get this item. Be sure to upgrade it all the way before selling it, though.
[[Rip Hunter's Time Pack (4)]]
Cost: 3,000 credits
20 Attack Damage, 12 Will Regen, 20% Cooldown Reduction, 350 Will
Time Anchor: Activate once to record a position. Activate again within 5 seconds to return to that position (60 second cooldown).
20(42) + 12(31) + 20(25) + 350(2) = 2412 credits
Rip Hunter's Time Pack needs its passive to have a value of at least 588 to be cost effective.
When to get it: Its good on controllers along with will hungry assassins and blasters. For the controllers it give you everything they need plain and simple. For champions that want to deal damage it solves their will problems and if used right would allow them to jump in tear someone to shreds and jump out. It's up to you if you like [[Deadshot's Visor(4)]] or this item more in that case.
[[Shade's Cane (3)]]
Cost: 2,500 credits
42 Attack Damage, 42 Power Damage
Darkness Manipulation 3: Basic Attacks grant stacks of 3 Attack Damage and 3 Power Damage, up to 7 stacks, lasting 7 seconds.
Desperate Endurance: Upon falling below 30% Health, gain 10% Attack and Power Lifesteal until you do not take or deal damage for 5 seconds.
42(42) + 42(25) = 2814 credits
Shade's Cane is cost efficient without its passives.
When to get it: The passive is a bit weird and is overall unreliable. Fortunately, its a luxury to have, as its stats are good enough to buy the item. Unfortunately, only hybrid champions really benefits from the overall item, and its not that effective in my opinion even then, as most people tend to build either attack damage or power damage, not both.
Soultaker Katana (4)
Cost: 3,250 credits
40 Attack Damage, 9% Attack Lifesteal
Attack Damage Collector: + 0.5 Attack Damage and 0.1% Attack Lifesteal when you collect a coin (max 60 stacks, lose half of death).
40(42) + 9(83) = 2427 credits
2427 + 14.5(42) + 2.9(83) = 3268 credits
2427 + 30(42) + 6(83) = 4185 credits
Soultaker Katana needs at least 29 stacks to be cost effective.
When to get it: If you need attack damage and attack lifesteal, you (gasp) buy this item. Lots of champions benefit form those stats, but if you can't hold on to those stats, then don't bother. Better as a snowball item or if you are really that confident in the art of not dying.
Sword Of Beowulf (3)
Cost: 2.750 credits
40 Attack Damage, 50 Power Armor
Response Shield 2: When you take Power Damage that puts you below 30% Health, gain a Shield that lasts 5 seconds and blocks 300 Power Damage (60s Cooldown).
40(42) + 50(19) = 2630 credits
Sword Of Beowulf needs its passive to have a value of at least 130 credits to be cost effective.
When to get it: If you are tired of getting roled by burst power damage, this item is for you. Better on bruisers, since they can survive long enough for Desperate Endurance to really be an asset, but it's good on any attack damage champion who needs a bit of power damage.
Velocity 9 Implants (4)
Cost: 3,500 credits
40% Attack Speed, 20% Critical Chance, 15 Move Speed
Attack Fervor: Basic Attacks grant 10% Move Speed for 1.5 seconds.
40(50) + 20(16) + 15(50) = 3070 credits
Velocity 9 Implants needs its passives to have a value of at least 430 credits to be cost effective.
When to get it: If you are playing an auto attack champion, then highly consider it for single target burst. Passive and stat move speed great for sticking to an enemy for kiting if you are that gosu. It sucks as a first item, so back it up with some attack damage first, or you are arming yourself with a tickle gun.
Zeiss Goggles (4)
Cost: 2,750 credits
50 Attack Damage, 15% Critical Chance
Frenzy: Activate to gain 20 Attack Damage and 20% Critical Chance while increasing damage taken by 10% for 5 seconds (60 second cooldown).
50(42) + 15(16) = 2340 credits
Zeiss Goggles need its active to have a value of at least 410 credits to be cost effective.
When to get it: Critical chance is for almost exclusively auto attackers, and I think the cost effectiveness of this stat is an outlier in my calculations. Other than that, it is a great mid game item, as the fights are longer, and the window of taking advantage of its active is wider. However if you cannot take advantage of its active effectively, then your just hurting yourself.
Amulet Of Isis (3)
Cost: 2,250 credits
300 Health, 12 Will Regen, 10% Cooldown Reduction, 5 Movement Speed
Mercury's Gift 1: Grant a 20% Move Speed buff to all nearby allies for 4 seconds (60 second cooldown).
300(3.3) + 12(31) + 10(25) + 5(50) = 1862 credits
Amulet Of Isis needs its active to have a value of at least 512 credits to be cost effective.
When to get it: I see it as a support item, for a bit of beef, ability to get more abilites out, and having better engage/disengage. Good overall item, but you can't carry with it. Best mid game, but it can fall off late.
[[Booster Gold’s Power Suit (3)]]
Cost: 3,000 credits
200 Health, 50 Attack Armor, 15% Cooldown Reduction
Shield Boost: Increases the magnitude of any Health Shields you receive by 10%.
Real Hero: Reduces the damage you take from turrets by 10%
200(3.3) + 50(21) + 15(25) = 2085 credits
Booster Gold’s Power Suit needs its passive to have a value of at least 915 credits to be cost effective.
When to get it: Don't underestimate the effectiveness of attack armor and health in one item. It's the best stat combination in MOBAs. The turret damage reduction is useful for diving turrets (duh) and thShield Boost may require a controller, item or skill to actually be used, but it does have synergy with Invulnerability naturally, so also consider that when building this item.
[[Diana's Bracers (2)]]
Cost: 1,750 credits
30% Resilience, 40 Health Regen
Health Balance: Gain +1% Health Regen per 1% of Health you are missing.
30(25) + 40(19) = 1510 credits
Diana's Bracers needs its passive to have a value of at least 240 credits to be cost effective.
When to get it: When you have tons of health and they have tons of CC. Too bad the passive sucks, since it is based on missing health, so if you are low enough for the passive to be effective, you are going back to base anyway. There should also be an easter egg when you buy it a Wonder Woman, but sadly, there isn't.
Entropy Aegis (4)
Cost: 3,000 credits
250 Will, 60 Power Armor, 200 Health
Skill Block 1: Grants a Skill Shield that prevents the damage and effects of the next enemy skill. This effect has a 30 second cooldown.
250(2) + 60(19) + 200(3.3) = 2305 credits
Entropy Aegis needs its passive to have a value of at least 695 credits to be cost effective.
When to get it: As a fifth or sixth item against a good amount of power damage. Prevents some poke with its passive and you can avoid getting one shotted by a fed power damage bruiser or blaster. Continue to blame teammates if you still die (only if you know them, of course).
Fragment Of Mogo (3)
Cost: 3,000 credits
200 Health, 50 Attack Armor,
Burning Core: Active to deal 50 Power Damage to all nearby enemies and then, for 15 seconds, deals 30-15 decaying Power Damage per second to enemies nearby (60 second cooldown).
200(3.3) + 50(21) = 1715 credits
Fragment of Mogo needs its active to have a value of at least 1290 credits to be cost effective.
When to get it: Theoretically, it deals 387.5 power damage if you have an enemy in the area for the entire 15 seconds, but i say you would be lucky to get in 200 against an enemy champion in my experience with the item. It is still good mid game, where the damage can count for a good chunk of their health. It is the best item if you need attack armor and health. So naturally buy it only if you need both health and attack armor.
[[Hawkman's Harness (4)]]
Cost: 1,500 credits
275 Health
Refundable: You can sell this Artifact back for full value.
275(3.3) = 908 credits
Hawkman's Harness needs its passive to have at least a value of 592 credits to be cost effective.
When to get it: When you need to stop dying and you are penniless. Its good for everyone as a credit filler.
Helm Of Fate (3)
70 Power Armor, 50 Power Damage, 10 Move Speed
Mystic Surge: When Mystic Surge is activated, you'll gain bonus Power Damage based off 30% of your bonus power armor for 10 seconds.
70(19) + 50(25) + 10(50) = 3080 credits
Helm of Fate is cost effective without its active.
When you get it: If you are dishing out the power damage and taking too much attack damage. Usually good for the mid and late game alike. You don't need any attack armor to justify it, the active mainly rounds out your total armor values.
Kryptonian War Armor (4)
Cost: 3,000 credits
25 Health Regen, 60 Power Armor, 30 Move Speed
Vitality 1: + 20% Healing Received
25(19) + 60(19) + 30(50) = 3115 credits
Kryptonian War Armor is cost effective without its passive.
When you get it: When you need to stop taking huge amounts of power damage and you have the health already to make it count for the late game. It also turns you into the goddamn ba- gingerbread man, so unless they have CC available and you aren't an one shot, you are making a clean getaway. Unfortunatly this item just doesn't compete with other power armor items with its stats. So unless you can abuse its passive its an iffy buy.
Marauder Shield (4)
Cost: 2,250 credits
250 Health, 30% Resilience
Marauder Burst 3: + 30% Damage to Creatures
Marauder Syphon: When you deal damage to a creature, regain Health equal to 6% of the damage dealt and Will equal to 4% of the damage dealt.
250(3.3) + 30(25) = 1575 credits
Marauder Shield needs its passive to have a value of at least 675 to be cost effective
When you get it: Jungling tanky champions. 30% resilience is really nice too if they have tons of CC. I personally take it to level 2 and leave it there, but if you need the resilence, take this, it's dange... nevermind.
[[Metallo's Heart (3)]]
Cost: 3,000 credits
300 Will, 70 Attack Armor, 10% Cooldown Reduction
Dampening Aura: - 20% Attack Speed for all nearby enemies.
300(2) + 70(21) + 10(25) = 2320 credits
Assuming that the attack speed it takes away from your enemies is equal to the value if it was given to you:
2220 + 20(50) = 3320 credits
Metallo's Heart is cost effective when there is at least one enemy in the aura.
When you get it: When you need the stats and you are in the thick of the fight late in the match. Its much better if backed by health for plenty of plays that don't involve dying. Also, don't underestimate its aura, it prevents more damage than you may think in long fights.
[[Mirror Master's Prism (4)]]
Cost: 1,750 credits
200 Health, 40 Power Armor
Deadly Mirror 2: 25% Power Reflect
200(3.3) + 40(25) = 1660 credits
Mirror Prism needs its passive to have a value of at least 90 credits to be cost effective.
When to get it: It's good when you are against an aggro power damage champion and you are planning on building tanky anyway. The damage reflect will actually stick to your opponent as well, since power damage champions don't have a reliable source of sustain like attack damage champions have in life steal.
Nil Cloak
Cost: 500 credits
75 Health, 10 Health Regen
Toughness: Blocks 5 damage from Champion basic attacks.
75(3.3) + 10(19) = 337.5 = 438 credits.
Nil Cloak needs its passive to have a value of at least 62 credits to be cost effective.
When you get it: It's a starting item. You buy it, and it makes you harder to kill. And since the lane drones are more deadly than General Grievous's assassin drones, your enemy auto attacking you once will automatically win you that trade with this item.
Oa Gambit (2)
Cost: 750 credits
15 Power Damage, 15 Power Armor
Investment: Gain 3 Credits every 10 seconds.
15(25) + 15(19) = 660 credits

Level 2 Oa Gambit is cost effective after having it for 3 minutes.
When to get it: Like all gambits, get this when you are behind and can benefit from the stats.

Protection Field: Grants a temporary 40 + 10 per level Health shield to you and nearby allies that lasts for 4 seconds (60 second cooldown).

Assuming that the power armor it takes away from your enemies is equal to the value as if it was given to you:
1665 + 15(20)(3) = 2565 credits
Oa Gambit is cost effective when there are 3 enemies in the aura OR if its aura and active are worth at least 585 credits.
When to get it: Good on power damage bruisers when both teams have plenty of power damage of their own. I mean, your team deals more power damage and you take less. If you are ranged, usually don't buy it, as the aura is wasted. The active can tip the scales in your favor as well, so use it before it hits the fan.
Olympus Gambit (2)
Cost: 750 credits
100 Health, 5 Attack Armor, 5 Power Armor
Investment: Gain 3 Credits every 10 seconds.
100(3.3) + 5(21) + 5(19) = 530 credits

Level 2 Olympus Gambit is cost effective after having it for 12 minutes 13 seconds.
When to get it: Like all gambits, get this when you are behind and can benefit from the stats.

200(2.5) + 25(21) + 25(19) + 10(19) = 1650 credits
1650 + 15(21) + 15(19) + 10(19) = 2440 credits
Olympus Gambit is cost effective when there is an ally in the aura OR if its aura and active are worth at least 850 credits.
When to get it: If you are playing a support, or any champion that is in the middle of your team. The more allies that get the aura, the better. Don't forget to throw down your spell rotation, then use the active when the retaliate. Item actives win games people.

1080 + 49(20) = 2000 credits
Phantom Stranger's Necklace is cost effective at 49 stacks.
When to get it: When you already have the health to back it up and the enemy champions have mixed damage overall. If you can keep it stacked, its really, really good mid game. The cooldown reduction is just a bonus to a really good item.

Cost: 2,750 Credits
45 Attack Armor, 30 Power Armor
Lazarus Effect 1: If you would fall to 0 health, you instead gain a shield worth 50% of your health and are unable to act. If the shield is unbroken after 5s, the remaining shield is converted to health and you regain 50% Will (4 minute Cooldown).
45(21) + 30(19) = 1515
Ra's al Ghul's Robe needs its passive to have a value of at least 1235 credits to be cost effective.
When to get it: A common item for a squishy champion as a last item. If you are targeted down, it saves you, and your team has 4 seconds to fight them off before you can clean up. When it is on cooldown, switch to another defense item if you have the funds. Also gives you wings when its passive is up.
Ruby Of Life (4)
Cost: 2,750 credits
325 Health, 20 Health Regen
Health Collector: + 3.75 Health and + 0.5 Health Regen when you collect a coin (max 225 Health, 30 Health Regen, lose half on death).
325(3.3) + 20(19) = 1452.5 credits

1452.5 + (60)21.9 = 2766.5 credits
Ruby of Life is cost effective with 60 stacks.
When to get it: As it is good at all stages of the game, whether you are stacking it in lane, making the health count mid game, or building armor with it late, its really good. Think of it this way; if your health drops to 0, you die. This item gives you health. Great success. If you can't keep the stacks, then don't bother.
Spear Of Destiny (2)
Cost: 2,250 credits
25 Attack Damage, 40 Power Armor
Enforcement 1: Gain 1.5% of your Max Health as additional Attack Damage.
25(42) + 40(19) = 1810 credits
2250 - 1810 = 440 credits, need 10 attack damage from passive
10 / 0.015 = 667 Health needed
With its passive, Spear Of Destiny is cost effective, assuming you are level 3 or 4 when you are able to purchase this item. .
When you get it: I feel like i don't need to explain this, but if you are a somewhat beefy attack damage champion with plenty of health, get it to resist power damage. It's good in all stages of the game. It is outshined by Sword Of Beowulf (3) at all stages of the game, so don't even consider it.
[[Steel's Breastplate (3)]]
Cost: 2,500 credits
300 Will, 50 Attack Armor, 10 Move Speed
Iron Will: Activate to redirect 20% of damage taken to your Will for the next 5s (60s Cooldown).

Steel's Breastplate needs its active to have a value of at least 350 credits to be cost effective.
When to get it: Its a good item for controllers overall. It grants good will and attack armor, along with an active to make to really tanky in a fight. I would consider it core for any will scaling champion in the game.

(30% of damage done to you with any attack damage ability or auto attack is done to your to your attacker)
100(21) = 2100 credits
Suit Of Sorrows needs its passive to have a value of at least 900 credits to be cost effective.
When you get it: Look, it gives you a ton of attack armor. That allows you to resist attack damage. Therfor, you don't die. As a bonus, squishy targets can't auto attack you, becuase they would be killing both of you, and the guy with 100 bonus attack armor is going to outlast the other. Welcome to bruiser town.
The Crime Bible (2)
Cost: 1,000 credits
75 Health, 10 Health Regen

75(3.3) + 10(19) = 437.5 credits
437.5 + 400(3.3) + 50(19) = 2707.5 credits at max stacks
1000 - 10(19) = 810 / 3.3 = 246 health needed to be cost effective
246 - 75 = 171 / 15 = 11.4 = 12 stacks
12(90) = 1080 seconds / 60 = 18 minutes
The Crime Bible needs to stack for 18 minutes (minus 90 seconds per kill/assist) to be cost effective.
When to get it: It's good for an early buy on bruisers and enforcers alike. Cheap health and it is viable in a 6 item build. However since it does require you to buy it first i would suggest getting the overclocked mod since you aren't gonna get many kills.

200 Health, 12 Health Regen, 10 Will Regen

The Medusa Mask needs its passive and active to have a value of at least 1302 credits for it to be cost effective.
When to get this: If you want the stats and early lane sustain, get this. It will almost guarantee that you will outlast your opponent(s) and increase your chances of getting their turret first. Either that or to survive a 2v1 lane if your 'teammates' leave you out to rot.
[[Abin Sur's Lantern (4)]]
Cost: 2,750 credits
450 Will, 15% Cooldown Reduction

Blue Scarab needs its passives to have a value of at least 750 credits to be cost effective.
When to get it: This Item has great synergy with itself. And thats about it. There are some champions that can effectivly utilize it with the proper modification, but if you are not running a mod for this, then don't buy it. Oh and Charged Attack procs power lifesteal, which is cool.

20 Will Regen, 30 Power Armor, 20% Cooldown Reduction
Will Balance: Gain + 1% Will Regen per 1% of Will you are missing
20(31) + 30(19) + 20(25) = 1690 credits
Doctor Destiny's Dreamstone needs its passive to have a value of at least 810 credits to be cost effective.
When to get it: If you are running out of will early, this item will prevent that. It gives alot of stats, but if you aren't against any power damage, then you may consider buying a different item, but it would still be good.
[[Eclipso's Diamond (2)]]
Cost: 2,7500 credits

When to get it: If you want the power to one shot enemies or almost one shot, along with the cooldown reduction to be able ot one shot enemies more often, then this rocks. It's an awesome mid game item for assassin like power damage champions, but can fall off late game.
[[Gorilla Grodd's Helmet (4)]]

Marauder Ring needs its passive to have a value of at least 500 credits to be cost effective.
When to get it: The more I try getting this item at level 4 on more champions the more I like it. The stats make it godlike as a first item to do power damage not only in the jungle but in lane also. It gives just the right amount of will regen and cooldown to be relevent in using basic abilities and having your ult up when you need it. Despite having a lack luster item value credit wise, i think it is just too good to pass up. Even on someone 'traditionally' tanky.
[[Mr. Terrific's T-Mask (4)]]
Cost: 2250 credits
20% Resilience, 40 Power Damage, 15% Power Life Steal

Mr. Terrific's T-Mask is cost effective without its active.

Neron's Contract needs its active to have a value of at least 700 credits to be cost effective.
When to get it: If the enemy team is targeting you or you need to jump in the thick of things in team fights and squishy as hell, this item saves lifes. Atomic Wonder Woman ulting you? NOPE. Batman diving you? NOPE. Arcane Green Lantern trying to ult to you in an attempt to escape a gank? NOPE. Its late game control with its stats and active (too lazy to change this).

50(25) + 10(25) + 20(50) = 3365 credits
Pandora's Box is cost effective without its passive
When to get it: It gives lots of goodies for a support mid game or any ability caster late game. It's also a good way to screw over stealth champions that fall off a bit late game like Gaslight Catwoman, and make them vulnerable for a whole 3 seconds, AKA an eternity in a team fight.
Psi-Scimitar (3)
Cost: 2,750 credits
35 Attack Damage, 60 Power Damage
Skilled Attack: After skill use, your next Basic Attack deals 25 + 25% Power Damage or 100% base Attack Damage (2 second cooldown). Activate to toggle.
35(42) + 60(25) = 2970 credits
Psi-Scimitar is cost effective without its passive.
When to get it: If you need more burst damage on a hybrid damage champion, like another spell. It's good all stages of the game, although less effective than some items at some stages. Think of it as a Jack of all Trades. But if you are a pure power damage champion 5 items in, leave this item be. It's awful on you bro.

Investment: Gain 3 Credits every 10 seconds
150(2) + 20(25) = 800 credits

Qward Gambit is cost effective with one ally in the aura OR the aura and the active have a value of at least 80 credits.
When to get it: You know the drill. If your team can make good use of the stats mid and late game, and you can position correctly so they can actually get it, then this item is beast. Also a good way to screw over stealth champions.
Radion Shard (4)
Cost: 1,500 credits
50 Power Damage
Refundable: You can sell this Artifact back for full value
50(25) = 1250 credits
Radion Shard needs its passive to have a value of at least 250 credits to be cost effective.
When to get it: Buy when you have extra credits to burn for a bit more damage. Because why not you are getting the money back eventually.
The Book Of Eternity (2)
Cost: 2,250 credits
50 Power Damage
Arcane 2: + 30% Power Penetration
50(25) = 1250 credits
The Book Of Eternity needs its passive to have a value of at least 1000 credits to be cost effective.
When to get it: Like its sister item, atomic axe, its effective against enemies stacking power armor, but deals enough damage late game to be considered almost core on most power damage blaster. Almost. The difference is that most champions don't have scaling power armor, so it isn't as effective when compared atomic axe. But chances are that most enemies will buy at least one power armor item, so its usually a must.
The Logoz (3)
Cost: 2,000 credits
300 Will, 45 Power Damage
Power Damage Collector: + 1.5 Power Damage when you collect a coin (max 45 Power Damage, lose half on death).
300(2) + 45(25) = 1725 credits

1725 + 8(37.5) = 2025 credits
The Logoz is cost effective with 8 stack.
When to get it: Steller early and mid game item. Gives you free will per drone kill and ever so powerful power damage. Could fall off late game, especially if you can keep stacks, but the mid game strength is too much to pass up.
The Starheart (3)
Cost: 3,750 credits
120 Power Damage (162 Power Damage when considering passive)
Power Feedback: +30% Power Damage.
120(25) = 3000 credits
4000 - 3000 = 1000 / 25 = 40 / 0.3 = 133.333 = 134 Power Damage
134 - 120 = 14 additional Power Damage needed
The Starheart needs the user to have 134 total Power Damage to be cost effective
When you get it: If your main job is to shell out power damage, then you get this item as your second or third. There is no arguing that.
[[Two Face's Coin (2)]]
Cost: 1,000 credits
20 Power Damage
Power Harvest: Gain 2 Power Damage every 90 seconds with each Champion Kill or Assist (max 80 Power Damage) Gain 10% cooldown reduction at 40 stacks.
20(25) = 500 credits
500 + 80(25) + 10(25) = 2750 credits at max stacks
1000 - 500 = 500 credits
500 / 20 = 25 / 2 = 12.5 = 13 stacks needed to be cost effective
9(90) = 1170 / 60 = 19 minutes 30 seconds
Two Face's Coin needs to stack for 19 minutes 30 seconds (minus 90 seconds per kill or assist) to be cost effective
When to get it: Wtih a lack of items that give alot of power damage this item may be your answer on full power damage blasters. Like the rest of the harvest items, I wouldn't buy it without a mod before hand.
Speed Force Battery (1)
Cost: 2,000 credits
Blink Jump: Activate to immediately blink to a nearby location up to 600 away (20s cooldown). Cannot be used for 6 seconds after taking damage.
Speed Force Battery needs its active to have a value of at least 2000 credits to be cost effective (yes I know you don't have to say it).
When to get it: It's either a cheese item or a super pro item. If you really need the engage power that this item give then you should take it. You can do some interesting plays with it but you sacrifice alot of credits and an item slot for it, so just make sure you deal damage still or don't die.
Welp, that's that. Again, none of this could possibly be official, due to every item only building into a better version of itself.
I hope you guys like it. If you can see any mistakes to this guide, post them in the comments, and I will make appropriate changes when i see it.

I love your guide, but have a comment about an odd hero and item combo. I have found Rip Hunter's Time Pack useful on EXACTLY one hero: Harley Quinn used as a Support. It grants her a bit more damage, cooldown reductions for her heal, and allows her to run in, bait out the opponent, and have her ADC murder them, all while healing herself and her ADC faster as the cooldown reduction is awesome for her and the bonus Will adds to her heal amount.

You are right that it does have its place in some games but I mainly just look at it from the professional level of the game. However there are some items that have gained popularity like the logoz recently that I change my opinion accordingly. So say that the RHTP does actually see the light of day at a tourney I would update how useful I view it.

Very well done bro ^^!

Okay, I found another error.
Maybe a typo but in the guide it says 15 power armor for 2nd tier. For both 2nd and 4th tier, the maximum is 800 - in the guide it says bonus caps at 500.
For Abin Sur's Lantern (2)
150 will, 4 will regen per 10 seconds, 15 power damage
Will Battery: Gain 4 max will whenever you use a skill that costs will (3 second cooldown, max +800 will)
For Abin Sur's Lantern (4)
Will Battery: Gain 4 max will whenever you use a skill that costs will (3 second cooldown, max +800 will)

Excellent guide, i printed it out so I have it here to look at.
However, I've noticed 2 errors that are the result of updates (I haven't checked all the items, but I will continue to go through some of them while I have in-game screen available):Zeiss Goggles (4) should be:
Frenzy: Activate to gain 20 attack damage and 10% critical chance while increasing damage taken by 25% for 5 seconds (60s cooldown).
(no longer does frenzy grant 20 attack speed)
Kryptonian War Armor (4) should be:
20 Health Regen per 10 seconds, 60 Power Armor, 30 Move Speed
(nerfed it from 40 health regen per 10 seconds and 70 power armor).
Just the reiterate, the bolded terms are correct.
I'll continue to check out the items when I'm in-game to see if they are up to date and let you know.
