Mari, Mother of Spirit Silver (ANNOTATED)
top 5 silver trying out getting spirit spike a bit later after resistences and more shred since u should get more value that way shes a very modular hero so try not to L -> R that much, the base core should be fine in most matches though https://x.com/_Flowwerr
(1) Lane: With new sprint speed ganking might be viable
- Lane -
Melee Lifesteal
lane sustain LIFESTRIKE BUFFSSS
Stalker
best lane item, the move speed is underrated
Slowing Hex
most op item in the game, in comps without many movement abilites cold front or BRS is a good substitue
Swift Striker
native fire rate helps ramp up lcyan stacks
spirit altsOptional
Rusted Barrel
either if lane is hard or disarming is a good pickup in the match
Arcane Surge
use for boot kick and wolf form (its really good because you spend 2 stam to land boot kick then get 2 stam back from it)
Cold Front
slow that people dont dispel, extra dmg is nice PLEASE BUY SLOW HEX INSTEAD IF THE GAME CALLS FOR IT
(2) Early Game: steal as many sinners for GS buffs as you can, put pressure on your lane/jungleOptional
|| Green core ||
Healing Booster
needed for sustain, upgrade to tempo later
extra greensOptional
Debuff Reducer
reduces your debuffs, very good
Spirit Resilience
very strong with frenzy, needed resist cuz no snatch
Dispel Magic
For cc's or doT like infernus and mirage
Counterspell
big ults like lash rem infernus victor apollo pocket billy etc
gun altsOptional
Berserker
good if you can live, good synergy with diviners and frenzy (diviners cuz +40sp fire rate in ult, and frenzy cuz 50% hp fire rate)
Toxic Bullets
good anti-heal and extra damage for tanks
(3) you're at your strongest at this point in the game, try to hunt their carries and win rifts
