Build
The mystic-field control. Mystic Field (13s) is the multiplier: a 5s barrier that damages and slows 50% on contact, expanding into a lockdown field when his other skills touch it - the blockade IS his zone control. Ice Queen Wand's Ice Bound (10% slow per skill hit to 3 stacks) piles onto barrier contacts and bullet passes - the slowed enemy eats the full extended snipe. Enchanted Talisman: 15% CDR plus mana - at this build's 45% CDR the bullet fires every 3.6s, the field every 7.2s, the beam every 30.8s, the blockade barely lapses. Temporal Reign: after Dawning Light, skills recover 1.5x for 4s - the post-beam bullet-and-field chain inside the Transcendence window. Magic Boots toward the 45 cap. Holy Crystal kept as the flat amp; Divine Glaive 6th for the wall. 6th slot Divine Glaive: 20% conversion - the controller still kills tanks.

Counter Builds
Vs Xavier: his bullet EXTENDS per hit - do not stand in the bullet's path, break the chain by spreading (the extension dies on the first miss). Mystic Field (13s, 5s barrier) is the blockade: walk around, not through, the 50% slow is the trap. Dawning Light (56s) is the cross-map beam: telegraphed - step out of line the moment the animation starts. He is 45/75/85 - the late sniper-mage; Marcel-type facehuggers are his wall, slow melee drafts (Belerick-style) are his food.
