Calico uses the shadows to her advantage, weaving in and out of combat to hunt down her enemies one by one.
Classic & one of the most popular Calico builds being reborn many months later. Build is good for both experienced and new players
Heavily based on Vraic build but with my corrections and point of view
Last patch: Scourge is worse but still usable
