How to itemise Mathilda and, more importantly, why each item earns its slot.
Overview
Mathilda excels as a high-mobility initiator and roamer, but her kit requires constant skill spamming and diving directly into enemy lines. Her core abilities, Soul Bloom and Guiding Wind, depend heavily on Magic Power scaling for damage and team shields, while Circling Eagle puts her right in the middle of danger. This build solves her severe Mana sustainability issues, boosts her Magic Power to enhance her shields and damage, and increases her durability so she survives standard dives. By amplifying her shield output and granting steady cooldown recovery alongside sustained damage, Mathilda transforms from a soft support into an aggressive, unkillable teamfight initiator.

Early
Arcane Boots - Favor gives Mathilda early Magic Penetration to maximize the burst damage of Soul Bloom during early skirmishes. The Favor roaming passive automatically heals injured allies when Mathilda casts Guiding Wind to shield them. This allows her to secure early lane dominance, roam efficiently to support teammates near the Turtle, and provide vital sustain without sacrificing her early damage potential.
In-game passive Unique Passive - Passive - Favor: Success
Core
Mathilda constantly drains her Mana by spamming Soul Bloom and Guiding Wind while moving. Enchanted Talisman solves this issue completely through its Mana Spring passive, which continuously regenerates her Max Mana. With uninterrupted Mana recovery, Mathilda can constantly charge her wisps, provide shields to allies, and maintain map pressure without ever needing to recall to base just to restore her Mana pool.
In-game passive Unique Passive - Mana Spring: Regenerates 15% Max Mana every 10s.
Core
Oracle is vital for Mathilda because its Bless passive increases her shield generation and received healing. This directly amplifies the personal shield from Guiding Wind and the barrier granted during Circling Eagle, as well as the shield given to guided allies. It dramatically improves her durability when diving into enemy backlines with her ultimate, ensuring she survives her aggressive initiations and continues shielding her allies.
In-game passive Unique Passive - Bless: Received Shield and HP Regen effects are increased by 30%.
Core
Glowing Wand turns Mathilda into a continuous Magic Damage threat during chaotic skirmishes. Its Scorch passive burns targets for extra Magic Damage based on their Max HP whenever her skills deal damage. Because Soul Bloom fires multiple wisps and Circling Eagle constantly hits surrounding targets while she flies, Mathilda applies and refreshes this burn effect across the entire enemy team, softening up tanky frontliners effortlessly.
In-game passive Unique Passive - Scorch: Burn targets for 3s, dealing Magic Damage equal to 1.5% of the target's Max HP per second.
Late
Necklace of Durance provides steady Magic Power while enhancing Mathilda's mid-to-late game teamfight sustain. Its Gift passive triggers upon leveling up, restoring a portion of her Max HP and Mana over a brief duration. This recovery allows Mathilda to stay active during prolonged late-game objective fights around the Lord, letting her continuously harass with Soul Bloom and support allies with Guiding Wind without backing away.
In-game passive Unique Passive - Gift: Regenerates 20% Max HP and Mana over 2s after leveling up.
Situational
As a primary initiator using Circling Eagle, Mathilda often dives deep into the enemy backline to knock targets airborne, leaving her exposed to heavy focus fire. Immortality provides safety through its Immortal passive, which revives her shortly after taking fatal damage and grants a fresh shield. This second chance lets her cast Guiding Wind immediately upon reviving to escape safely or regroup with her team.
In-game passive Unique Passive - Immortal: Revives 2.5s after death, gaining 16% Max HP and a 220-1200 shield (scales with level) that lasts 3s (210s cooldown).
No build survives every draft. These are the situations where the order above should change.
Prioritize building Oracle immediately after your boots before completing damage items. Boosting your shield amplification via its Bless passive ensures you absorb heavy enemy magic burst during Circling Eagle, keeping both Mathilda and her tethered ally alive while diving aggressive backlines.
Prioritize Immortality earlier in your build order right after core magic items. The resurrection passive gives Mathilda the confidence to initiate dives with Circling Eagle without fear of being instantly eliminated, letting her safely trigger Guiding Wind to pull allies into the fight.
