Main

duration first since you can steal t1 with bomb and t2 upgrade also allowing you to easily clear all camps including t3s once you get echoshard. after the main portion pick atleast 3 1600's or 1 3.2k and 1 1.6k to hit the final spirit investment. If the game is going well invest in invis tech, teamfights? lighning scroll. go vun and improv for that slight boost in damage

if you want to melee after to ensure they either take melee damage or parry in bomb extending the amount of bomb damage they do(DONT HAVE TO TAKE ALL MC IS ENOUGH)edit:moved mc into build with reactive since reactive scales with spirit????edit2 moved it out depends on games but you can take reactive with melee charge or just 1, if enemy parries after your swap just buy reactive otherwise mc or both

if you want to drop shadow weave options are all the actives above and you can skip the last active for more damage; if you need more damage go dur ext->vulnerability->improv should be ez 1 shots as long as they dont counterbuild hard or have yamato ult, victor 2 maxed, or cube

Playstyle

lane will be a pain but ideally you want to be in blue/mid lane since there are alot of camps you can steal at the 2 minute mark Invade their t1 if possible bomb and punch/shoot to finish before running. at 4 minutes when it respawns one bomb is enough. Once it hits 6 minutes invade their t2 and with just bomb you can steal three of the t1 minions. if you do this to both your side and their side, you will be the richest player after lane allowing you to buy echoshard and snowball. (steal their big t2 with dbl bomb) idealy you want web by 14-15 minutes, once you get web leave the farm for your tm8s and farm enemies

extra notes

the higher your rank the less usefull cooldown becomes as you have to rush damaging items as they are often not going to feed, if they buy eshift or look like they will just buy curse or sell shadow weave for it and get veilwalker for a similar affect with the curse to stop eshift, also works for other counters like remover and warpstone combo.
