Build Priorities & Strategy

This is a pretty straightforward build on paper – Shadow Step to the backline, get a mini Death Blossom, then Wraith Form out to stay alive. Rinse and repeat.

Make sure you are scaling your Ability Power and Ability Lifesteal throughout the build to ensure you can survive when you dive in, but be cautious against teams with an Ana or a D.Va that can peel for the backline. There are a lot of things that can neutralize this build, so it is critical that you play patiently and wait for enemies to use their defensive cooldowns on your teammates.

If you can do that and find a Support or DPS without resources in the backline, it is almost an automatic elimination every time. So, stay aggressive, but do so with careful timing!
