Explanation:

This is a kite build with potential for burst. In a nut shell, you want to keep track of your passive stacks, every time your passive is at 3 stacks, you save it for double Q. You can prestack your passive while your enemy is out of range by placing Ws or just Q’ing the ground, that way when they get in range you will have your Q+Q+W+E+Q+Q combo up. When you need to press a defensive skill, try to use it to facilitate your passive procs. For example, if your enemy is about to engage on you, instead of hitting the standard combo I just metioned, you can replace E with Guardianian helm, so Q+Q+W+helm+Q+Q and then when W comes up you wil have anotehr W+E+Q+Q.

It’s a B+ tier build because it is very high skill low reward. While this build can kill pretty much anything, you’d have to be a S tier player to bring out its full potential, and other builds can get the same kills a lot more easily. Also, non-hypermobile weapon, you’d get ratted a lot, and being in cloth, you’d die pretty easy if you get ratted.

Strengths and weaknesses:

Decent kite, decent mobility for a ranged weapon, high damage/burst

Too mechannically demanding, making a mistake usually means death.

Variations:

Not too many variation for this build. You can experiment with different offhands, especially since mistcaller is about to get a nerf.

Main Food:
