Author's notes

max rend first if enemy team is 4+ spirit characters i usually update the builld so check always can max passive earlier if you are ahead some drifter tips:(try always to play on your stacks go to other lanes and look for kills or fights so you can get stacks ) 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 hybrid drifter:917801 billy: 774029 shiv: 803982 abrams: 805341 venator:831342 Lash: 826292
