Crazy damage designed for people experienced with mercury

This build is NOT designed for Conquest, you'd probably do terrible using this build in conquest. This build is designed for killing players before they have the chance to act and then running away. This is made for people who know how to do well vs players with an assassin it can do a crazy amount of damage if used correctly but can be difficult to get the hang of.

Advice:
1. Don't use your first ability to attack minions, it's a huge waste of mana just punch them.
2. Before using your 3rd ability use your second ability for a nice buff

Pros / Cons

Pros

    Instant kill almost any god if fed
    Easily able to tower dive for kills and escape
    Perfect against gods who are on there own, little to no team effort required

Cons
    Can be very weak if behind level (Buy the defensive items if falling behind)
    Requires a skilled mercury player to pull off
