Description
ULT spam build that can do upwards of 23k spirit damage on a target using the full combo (SSB buff/SSH buff, burrow, scorn, AF, ULT, and spam scorn while ULTing) while they have full EE stacks. From no EE stacks, you can get around 10k. It also seems from testing that SSH amp stacks act the same as EE stacks so getting both items can lead to 16k full combo on a fresh target.
Your mobility comes from using FF with burrow to get around quickly while also using MC to fly around and rotate easily. You can also use MC to fly into a fight and target a specific hero or jump random enemies.

Good general spirit focused weapon item. Increases all of our damage.

Can use this over RF if enemies are mostly using gun damage or have high gun bursters like Haze, Ivy, etc.
7250
Can take this over HB if fed and enemies aren't reducing your healing.
6000
Can be better than RF to tank damage.

Pick this over RF if they keep CCing or stunning you out of ULT.
3000
Really useful in games where there is crazy burst damage (e.g. Lash ULT). You have to give up a spirit item though so only take this if you really need it. I would probably sell SoP.
