Build
The anti-sustain trio. Sea Halberd (80 PA, 20 AS) is the multiplier: Lifebane cuts every touched target to 60% sustain for 3s - applied by up to 4 bodies (his S3-command strikes count as basics and carry it): the pack starves the backline. His own sustain is the clone-heal (75 + 25% of clone damage per clone hit): the heal-cut war is won by whoever applies it more - 4 bodies apply it constantly. DHS plus Corrosion plus Golden core kept: percent-HP, slow, triple-triggers. Temporal Reign: ON CASTING Clone Techniques, his Variety and Exchange recover 1.5x for 4s (plus 2s on kill/assist) - clone-spawn into skill-spam into more clones. Swift Boots (+10% AS): the pack rate. 6th slot Malefic Roar: the pen on the swarm trades - shred cuts, Roar multiplies.

Counter Builds
Vs Sun: his S3-command (4s) counts as basic damage and carries attack effects without critting - blind, disarm and attack-speed cuts (Chastise Pauldron) starve the whole pack at once. His clones take AoE plus the ult clone takes increased damage: clear the copies first, then Sun is a bare fighter - and he heals 75 (+25% of clone damage) per clone hit, so denial is sustain-denial. His shred stacks 5% physical defense to 6 (30%): disengage at high stacks, re-engage clean. His ult clone (70-100%, 8s) is the real body-double: save burst for its 8s lapse. He is 45/68/82 - the late swarm; Natan-type out-mirrors are his wall, bar brawlers (Masha-style) are his food - the shred plus on-hits grind the bars.
