Dives down to stomp his foes

Lash gives his enemies little room to breathe, either by flying in from long distances to initiate combat with unsuspecting enemies, or pursuing said enemies when they try to run.

usually rushing extra spirit+extra regen is a much better play since you won't be forced to hide away in the corner, but sometimes you need that quick boost of heal.

Pretty good item, also lets you proc spirit burn much easier, don't have to buy it, but if you don't want to go for more ground strike oriented playstyle get it.

Some tips i thought of

Your build probably shouldn't look the same in all of your games besides items in "after lane" you should try and tailour your build with what you need, a lot of debuffs? Buy reducer/remover. A lot of spirit/gun damage? Buy resilience items or 6.4ks. If you don't have your ult on T3 throwing people at walls can be a smart idea since it'll stall them in the air, giving you more time to ground strike. You can actually look around during your ult, so if you have time try and look around to lock in more people for your ult. Don't be afraid to use your ground strike to escape too, being able to quickly come down to the ground and change direction abruptly comes in clutch A LOT. If you need to stall in the air you can try to either wall jump couple of times or heavy melee, it'll make your descent a bit slower. Early game it's a good idea to use wall jumps, corner boosts or just high ground around the map to initiate fights, it'll give you that extra bit of damage which can net you a kill. Your ground strike (1) can scoop people from many places, if ground strike through an enemy they'll follow you to your landing position which can be really helpful against vindicta or talon(careful around curbs when you do that, they can just negate your damage). If you hold your crouch button as you mantle onto a ledge your hero will immidetely do a slide, which gives you a lot of momentum around the map.
