Description

Dying to max out Lethal Venom first? Wrong! Slither gives you more bullet per bullet as long as you're zooming, which makes picks and assassinates easier. Get the bang for ya buck and rip bullets out your fat ass FAST so you can start building Trophy stacks while building up overall lethality incognito.

Lane - Basics

Ideally, you'll get "Lane" category up to Burst Fire before you lose your lane's towers. Don't forget to run around, get boxes, creeps, jungles, and Sinners. You're a bastard for the green, and you do a great job at making opponents back off when they come too close by throwing Venom on them. Slide as often as you can, especially if you're in Blue lane, and spend the first 10 or so minutes just collecting bank and being careful. By the time you get Burst Fire, you can start to try to get picks in by slithering up with your fully automatic blicky, pressing 2, then leaving as they combust. Don't be too greedy though, you can't afford to be behind. Use Bola to get out of trouble, and dont forget to dash-jump!!! Expect Point Blank after or around the time you lose your Tower.0 items

Early-Mid

After you destroy the first guardian and/or get yours yoinked, don't stray too far from your lane. You are not a roamer yet, and you can get picked off easily. Splitshot is your bread + butter for maximizing bullets, especially while you slide, so take advantage of it for a) mid-health picks, b) large waves of creeps, or c) emergency situations. Around this time, you'll be maxing out Lethal Venom, so the more bullets you can dump into people the better. Defend your guardians, clean up lanes that don't have defenders, and slink close to home to accumulate your $$$.0 items

Mid - Basics

Around this phase of the game, many of the Tower guardians will be down, still focus on making money and holding back waves. Leech will be the first major item you pick up, and you will need it; around this time, you will be tussling while trying to defend guardians, and you need some version of sustain. Leech will get you by swimmingly, but Spiritual Overflow is where most of your fire power will be coming from. After Leech, and certainly after SO, you can start being a little more aggressive and picking off people more rigorously. Smack Splitshot as often as possible and load people up with poison.0 items

#Citadel_HeroBuilds_LateGame

Late Game category generally occurs when many/most of the Walkers are gone, and the team needs to mobilize. Always get extra $ when possible, such as taking out undefended waves, but at this stage you should be very lethal and hard to deal with. You are also incredible at taking out midboss by spamming your slither with Splitshot. Once you fill out your slots, get a sense of your strengths: A) if your strength is mowing people down with raw bullets, exchange Swift Striker with Frenzy. B) if you're fully taking advantage of the Lethal Venom assassinates, upgrade Boundless Spirit. C) If the enemy team is particularly spirit-heavy and/or mobile, exchange Swift Striker or Toxic with Silencer. Those 3 I enjoy the most, but don't let that stop you from other 6.4k items, especially once you're getting ready to raid the enemy base. IMPORTANT: In late-late game, when bases are being sieged, LET GO of trophy hunter, you should be rolling in cash. I've also gotten a lot of success from picking up Mystic Reverb in exchange for Toxic in that phase of the game when I really need to crank out AOE to save the base from falling.0 items
