How to play it well. Top

Early game on any map you are going to need baby sitting from a support/warrior class. I prefer , , or .

If you are just starting this build wait til you have your ult to duel. Once you are exposed to it more and more, or feel comfortable, you can begin looking for and picking off enemies. Quick list of were to go for each map.
[*] Blackheart's Bay : When treasure spawns go there and get it, if someone else is there give them a hard time and push them off of it. They will not ignore your damage. If enemy has coins, camp the bushes and kill them.
[*] Cursed Hallow : arrive early at the tribute. Weaken or kill other early visitors.
[*] Dragon Shire : Your lane should always have control over the shrines. In the later game when one spawns go there and wait for unwanted guest. Kill the guest.
[*] Garden of Terror : once plants spawn, go to them and kill them. You have high enough burst for small adds. Spectate from the bushes as enemies attempt plant golem. If there is 2 you should be able to finish them off.
[*] Haunted Mines : Probably going to be the hardest map to find picks on enemies and i would honestly recommend a Multi Shot build for this map instead. Otherwise use your burst to help clear camps and finish off enemies.
[*] Sky Temple : Use your abilities to wrestle control over shrines. Make sure to always have control on vision ward.

This build is mindlessly easy to play, I've won most my games playing this build. Even if we lose I always have at least the most collective damage on the team. Its really easy build and really fun. I would advice trying it out.
