Description

A full spirit build with a balance of vitality to keep you in that 1v5 sweetspot.

This build is focused on you debuffing the enemy, hitting your spirit slashes and mixing in melee (optional). Spirit burn is your core late game item, picking up refresher afterwards puts you into your mid-late game powerspike.

DON'T FORGET that refresher resets your power slash, so full damage order should be power slash -> ult -> power slash -> refresher -> power slash -> ult -> power slash.
