Build
The ult-cycle engine. Cooldown is the multiplier: her identity is ult frequency (hers AND stolen), so this build buys the clock. Enchanted Talisman (75 MP, 300 HP, 15% CDR, 15% mana per 10s): the fuel bank for the bolt-spam. Magic Boots 10 + Clock 10 + Talisman 15 + Truncheon 10 + Inspire 5 = 50% against the 45% cap: Strike every 3s-ish, Shade every 6.6s, bolts refunding further - the Sigil-terror loop never waits. Temporal Reign: ON CASTING I Am You, her Strike and Shade recover 1.5x for 4s (plus 2s on kill/assist) - every steal refunds a burst window on her own kit. Glowing Wand (60 MP, 300 HP): Scorch burns 1% max HP per second for 3s on every bolt and Strike plus Lifebane's 60% sustain cut (Necklace of Durance is not in the pool - Glowing is her heal-cut). Primal Force EXP bank plus the level-gated 30% damage-to-HP: the cycle funds its own sustain while ahead. Crystal plus Truncheon core kept: the burst stays lethal between steals. 6th slot Glowing Wand: the burn the mimic leaves - every rotation hatches more.

Counter Builds
Vs Valentina: she STEALS your ultimate - play your ult BEFORE she closes, never hold it near her (and note she cannot steal from another Valentina). Her Shade has a 6s recast: track both dashes, punish after the second. Her Sigil terrifies on the RE-TAG (Strike twice in 4s, 4s terror immunity after): dodge the second tag, not the first. Her sustain is level-gated (30% damage-to-HP only while level-tied-or-better): starve her EXP, deny the Primal bank. She is 70/80/68 - the early-mid mimic; Marcel-type photo-traps are her wall, ult-reliant drafts (Carmilla-style links) are her food - the steal turns the fight into hers.
