Overview

This build revolves around Leaping Slash so our goal is to get as many Slashes off in fights and to assassinate/gank other lanes using Ava.

To find this build in-game, search for "Mobalytics - Calico by RinaVX" (BuildID: 194811)


Early Game

  • Spirit Strike works with our Leaping Slash and gives us a strong power boost in lane! It works on creeps as well so use it to recover in lane if getting harassed.
  • Melee Lifesteal works on Leaping Slash, but make sure to punch creeps as well if there are no heroes to hit.

Mid Game

  • Backstabber is an excellent tool to chase down any fast enemies as well as giving a suitable amount of damage.

  • Cold Front gives a strong slow and a good source of burst damage.

  • Headhunter gives Calico a boost of speed and a nice heal to sustain with.

  • Torment Pulse has strong value because it keeps procing during Return to Shadows and gives a lot of extra health!

Late Game

  • Lifestrike and Fortitude is Calico's defensive layer and helps Calico stay and maintain a strong presence on the map.

  • The new Crushing Fists is fantastic on Calico and gives a huge source of damage when sticking and punching players. It is then supplemented with items such as Hunter's Aura and Point Blank for more damage and movement speed slow.

  • Round out the punching playstyle with Spirit Snatch for more melee damage and spirit utility.
