max rend first if enemy team is 4+ spirit characters also can max your passive instead of ult if you are ahead (try always to play on your stacks go to other lanes and look for kills or fights so you can get stacks for the passive) also in the beginning its worth to die for a stack since you spawn very fast and you get a stack if you liked the build i have more for other characters billy: 774029 shiv: 803982 abrams: 805341 venator:831342 lash: 826292 try them maybe you will like it (:
