Description

The patch changed up how Drifter should be played a bit, instead of becoming a one man killing machine focus on teamfights and use your ult whenever an enemy is about to die, or to escape or rotate as necessary, Spirit is viable now thanks to a couple changes but the Gun build is still as powerful as ever, Isolated kills heal us now so we should thirst more often and the silence on T3 1, and healing reduction on T3 2 swaps survivability and lethality for utlity and stratagy; Drifter's skill ceiling is up.

Lane Phase

The core of this build will come later but it requires a decent ammount of stacks, as such were using Burst to Tankbuster to help secure those early stacks in lane, once we get enough we can snowball with gun alone and can choose to ditch Tankbuster later on for something more helpful or potent.8 items

Time to roam and pick off isolations for snowballing late game, at this point grab some armor or survival items so you don't feed and once we get Berserker and Blood Tribute we can combo them for a very strong weapon damage buff. Consider rushing Glass Cannon if you've managed to get a bunch of stacks and buy some Armor or Survival items.7 items

#Citadel_HeroBuilds_LateGame

By this point even without isolations you should be a proper menace to deal with, if you have enough stacks on Bloodscent you should be outclassing most if not all other heroes in terms of damage, until the big push prowl the rooftops and jungles for any lonley enemies and shred em. If the enemies do decide to group up play with the team and work to confirm kills.3 items
