Bomb North Ixia and Mark them all (WIP)
The idea behind this build is to play him as an attacker from the backline, mostly from roofs or the ground while venting (basically play like a vin or gt does when they dont have flight). Use 3 to vent a bit while flying and use both 1 and 3 for mark dmg. Mostly built for mark dmg, though his ult and 2 benefit a lot from the spirit items, and his gun benefits from all investments. Using 2 for damage is off limits unless you can use ult to wait out the cd or you have no other choice.

Can skip resto shot. Could slot out long range and sharpshooter for express shot.
Restorative Shot
High-Velocity Rounds
Extra Health
Long Range
Mystic Burst
Cold Front
Opening Rounds
SharpshooterExtra Health
Low base health. Could replace stam mastery with fortitude after buying this
Long Range
Gives you just enough bullet range to stay in range for 3's mark and gives you extra gun damage while doing it
Mystic Burst
With 3 AP / 2 tiers in 3 you can proc it off the backblast
Cold Front
Vent heat while in flight. Can skip if you manage your heat well. Decreases heat by 10%
Opening Rounds
Can get spirit earlier and replace with mystic shot
Sharpshooter
Technically this gives you the "just enough range" i was talking about with long range. Can buy after express shot instead if you want
#Citadel_HeroBuilds_MidGame
You could skip opening rounds to get express shot earlier
Express Shot
This item is crazy and gets crazier with boons and 3's bullet shred. Gives you about 500 dmg if you use it after 3 (at 12k)
Mystic Expansion
Putting it on 3 lets you be an even bigger coward (be far away and still get backblast and mark)
Stamina Mastery
You can air dash as many times as you want as long as you have the jetpack and stamina. This is just to give you more stam

honestly not sure about this one. Maybe if you use ult alot against gun chars it's worth it?
Random Ramblings below:Optional
You can scrollhop on him. So cool!!
Lightning Scroll
Also damages and stuns Danny. Yoshi why?
Glass Cannon
Already low health why make it even worse?
How exactly do you play this?Optional
... Still figuring that out. Fly around and shoot them, back up to vent heat, use 3 to apply a mark and bullet procs then shoot the mark, use 1 to slow them and shoot that mark, back up to vent heat and repeat is the basic idea. Ult them when they're below 50% and you think it's safe to do so, especially after reactive/indom. You kinda never wanna jetpack into them unless you can kill them with it or use ult afterwards to kill them/stall for jetpack cd to end
Why 3 first?Optional
I think the bullet res shred would matter a lot more in lane, plus you could use it to vent the jetpack. The mark damage doesn't really seem that worth it early (Before max 3). Same reason for going gun early (capitalize on bullet shred) and spirit late (capitalize on mark damage and scaling). Why not 2 early? Because the enemy team is scary (His base health is pretty low)
Why not max anything else?Optional
Max 1 would mean more mark damage, but the extra damage on t2 and scaling on t3 is imo not as worth it compared to having 2 sources of marks. Max 2 would mean needing to dive them constantly to get damage while having really low health, no sustain and no real movement since the jetpack is on cd. Max ult for the same reason.
Why Stam Mastery?Optional
Stam mastery's only really in this build cuz he can air dash infinitely (as long as he has stamina and heat to spare) so you could use that to escape if they ever get close to you, rather than using chimera
Jetpack vent rateOptional
It takes about 10s to vent the jetpack from 75% to 0. With the first upgrade, it takes about 4.3s to vent the jetpack from 75% to 0. Goes from about 7.5%/s to 17.4%/s vent rate. The first point should help keep you in the air a lot more often. Would be nice if the upgrade also decreased the build up rate though.
