Under tower wave clear is pretty easy too. Melee minions take two tower shots then can be 1 hit with e. Casters take 1 shot then you Auto and E.
Against AP assassins i go tear catalyst into banshees veil or abyssal mask. Core build is Seraphs, Banshees, ROA/Abyssal, Morello, and then branch out from there.
Rylais is a good self peel item and can help against slippery targets. Works well against assassins and champs like leblanc ekko zoe.
If they have a strong ap jg and and ap mid id go tear into abyssal mask morello, if they have an ap top instead of an ap jg, i usually go tear cataylst morello then finish the abyssal mask after morello.
You can weave in autos early game but after you get some cdr you don’t really want to auto. You can do more dps using your e in fights rather than autoing in between. Early game you can auto then e right after so your auto and e hit around the same time. I use this every game to CS with. When you go for the last hit with your e early it does like 100 damage combined, making it easy to rack up farm. Hope this helps.
