Description
Vindicta's favorite activity in the summers is Grilling :3
A silly build around Stake being silly. Range stacking,
mobility, and high regen keep you around the map.
Works in E6 lobbies, annoys streamers, and is overall a
blast to play.
Fight early with T2 crow and Decay to stack your Trophy Collector.
Tip: you can use massive range stakes to hang people from buildings/walls. Abuse this if you can.
Item Build
Good Morning, NYC
Early regeneration items to stay in lane with mobility and spirit items for snipe. We want Trophy Collector early; we are the only character who can abuse it properly. On top of that, Decay is absurdly powerful early and this continues for the whole game.
800
Lets you stay in harass heavy lanes, ie Grey Talon nonsense.
800
The main worry about lane is losing it before T2 crow. This helps you push things out and apply more pressure.
800
Useful for crow, snipe, and decay damage.
800
Amps up snipe just a bit and gives us a charge. If you're desperate for slots later, you can sell this; we don't get CDR.
800
Early regen and move speed; you can gank now with the soul changes.
4000
Absolutely absurd for grilling. Passive income, health, ability range, and sprint speed is absurd. This tackles several problems at once for us. You can get assists just by being nearby a kill.
3200
Absolutely absurd, do not skip this item ever. Since it's damage scales, it hits like a truck; this is often your first or second highest damage. Also, helps you farm assists.
Grilling Courses
Pick one of Enduring or Reactive. You'll always want Healbane; when is up to you.
1600
This gives base spirit and you can easily spread it. This is amazing early.
1600
Run around the map to get as many kills as you can.
1600
The spirit scaling on this means that the barriers carpet lost are basically replaced. Keeps you alive for a long, long time.
1600
Spirit is usually what you get bursted by. Getting it earlier is better.
Firing up the Grill
We need a few things; the ability to be anywhere on the map, a way to escape being caught, and the grill itself. Carpet solves the first two; you can fly anywhere around the map, escape after being grabbed, and it has amazing stats.
6400
Carpet before Alch Fire is intentional. This lets you stack Trophy Collector easier, has amazing stats, and gives good mobility.
3200
The barbeque itself. Max damage scales with spirit, and the stats tether likes scale alch fire too.
800
Makes tether a lot better until echo. We don't mind sitting on this; Alchemical Fire has plenty of range.
6400
Imbue Tether. Tether, alch fire, echo, crow, tether, prepare to snipe or hide.
Grilling! :333
Your grill is now online; now, it's time for an upgrade. We're going from charcoal to propane to thoroughly cook our enemies. Spirit Burn can replace Healbane, so you can sell it for slots.
6400
This is significantly better than Vortex Web. Same range, but significantly amps up your combo's damage.
4000
Absolutely insane, highest prio tether upgrade.
1600
Excellent for Stake, and Alchemical Fire lasts long enough anyways.
$4000 Propane Grill
The last pieces to grill well. Whatever order you want, really. These are general upgrades you should always have.
4800
More of everything. Helps with Echo Shard's obscene cooldown.
4800
Self explanatory really.
4000
Absolutely fantastic item. Spirit for charged abilities really helps out snipe.
Sundown
These are the turbo late items. By this point, you'll have a choice; Vortex Web and Divine Barrier are both fantastic, but you have to pick a child to execute to use them; Magic Carpet, or Decay. I'm sorry.
8000
This has different throw behavior than Stake, but since you either throw this first or last you can get used to it. It's range is the same as Stake's.
8000
This is good if your teammates are struggling against debuffs/pocket. You're in a good spot to watch the battlefield and this gives ability range.
8000
Kind of the only way to add damage at this point. Good spirit resist too.
3200
If you choose to keep carpet, this lets you fly incredibly fast. If you decide to sell it, this helps you as an escape item.
A Sturdy Apron
This build is slot heavy; you'll have very little space for greens, and can be melted if caught off guard. If you're in extreme late game, then here's the greens of choice to stay alive.
1600
We can't really slot Debuff Remover, but this helps versus the few CCs you might be hit by.
3200
General anti spirit item, if you're taking high amounts of low damage
6400
Break in case of Talon; you're 2-3 arrowable, so this delays that by a bit.
8000
If you really like Enduring Speed and are dying to gun, this will help out.
6400
This really won't save you unless you have help. I wouldn't get this unless I'm struggling against a single hungry target with Phantom Strike
