My go to build

I'm pretty sure the skills are all weird and jumbled but you'll figure it out. Umm, basically be aggressive with him a smite focus your one first, heal 10% of damage dealt and can finish off foes early if built level 1 and 2. Level three put one into your three for damage and silence then your one, ult, and either one or two. Your two itsnt useful with just one upgrade in it so give it one or two more skills before anything else even if it means skipping you're ult. trust me, the pen and movement will be just as useful as a level two ult. stay close to friendly and attack lone enemies or weaker ones for ovbvious reason. And don't ult unless you know you can get them in time, you get a movement speed buff when ulting but it's no merc.
