The mist-grind (pro mirror). The mists are the multiplier: both Dark Mist and Black Mist count as Basic Attack damage - Demon Hunter Sword's 8% current-HP, Corrosion's 80 bonus damage and Sea Halberd's Lifebane ride every 0.5s tick: the zone that on-hits. Golden Staff (55 PA, 15 AS) is the discipline: zero-crit conversion (mists cannot crit anyway - nothing wasted) with triple attack-effect triggers on his basics. Corrosion Scythe (30 PA, 30 AS): 4% slow per hit to 5 stacks plus up to 30% AS - the mist-field sticks. Sea Halberd (80 PA, 20 AS): Lifebane cuts every touched target to 60% sustain for 3s on the mist ticks - sustain holders fold to the grind. Malefic Roar (60 PA): 30% pen plus up to 30% more - the mist physical drills late. Temporal Reign: ON CASTING Pinnacle Ninja, his Mist-plus-Snatch recover 1.5x for 4s (plus 2s on kill/assist) - the post-transform dash-chain. Firmness (+8/+8) steadies the early invade; Festival of Blood vamps the dash multi-hits. Tough Boots: 25% CC and slow reduction (the body must survive while the spirit is out). 6th slot Malefic Roar: the grind that pierces - ticks, cuts, pen.

Counter Builds
Vs Hanzo: his Hanekage drains 170 energy per second - stall the form (deny nearby creep deaths at +20 each and hero credits at +200) and the spirit times out into a 50%-slowed, revealed body with doubled cooldown. His REAL BODY sits invincible but helpless: find the hidden body - the ambush target is the flesh, never the ghost. His Feast needs 5 Ninjutsu stacks: disengage the stack count, re-engage clean. His return heals 360-520 (+100% Extra): burst through the return window or let it cash. He is 64/76/52 - the mid spirit; Natalia-type body-divers are his wall (kill the ghost, expose the flesh); backline supports he isolates are his food - end before his 52-late matters.
