Build
The trading build. His trade pattern - wind-up basic while moving + Impact + dash-stun (8s, 0.8s stun + mark) + basic - wins by constantly marking and poking: Rose Gold Meteor is the survive-the-trade stat block (30 AD + 20 AS + lifesteal, hybrid defense from its passive at the halved marksman conversion, plus the sub-30% HP shield and MS burst). Quantum Charge: his moving wind-up basics on heroes heal 75-180 + 30% MS per hit - the duel sustain his fire-while-moving kit triggers constantly, stacked with the Abyss mark MS. Tough Boots over Swift: 25% CC reduction keeps the interruptible wind-ups firing - CC cancels his lane damage, devalued AS does not replace that. Blade of Despair + Malefic Gun + Hunter Strike core: flat AD, range, CDR is the identity. 6th slot Sea Halberd: 60% heal-cut on the torpedoes - the getting-caught tax is paid by Meteor and Charge instead of damage slots.

Counter Builds
Vs Brody: his Abyss Marks cap at 4 stacks and EXPIRE - disengage a few seconds and his whole setup dies, including the ult's per-mark line. His wind-up basic is interrupted by CC and by his own skill casts - stun him mid-windup and half his lane damage vanishes. His ult locks marked targets within 8 units: spread wider than that before it comes off cooldown (32s). He is 72/78/68 - early-mid executor; Marcel-type facehuggers are his wall, immobile casters (Karina-style) are his food.
