Introduction to Lifestealer He Bo

Hello guys, and thanks for spending your time checking my guide. No need for babbling, I'll jump straight to the tips.
This build is a different one, so you'll have to be careful as it has no extra health at all. The 47% lifesteal is sick if it's in good hands. With full items, you'll be able to steal around 300 HP usually with your Water Cannon skill, and thanks to Chronos' Pendant you'll be able to cast it in two seconds instead of three, which makes this build useful. What you should pay attention to is hard CC, as you won't be able to lifesteal at that moment. If there's too much pressure, clear the way with Waterspout and get away with Flood Waters. Even if you get hurt during a fight, you'll be able to get back into the action VERY quickly thanks to the immense lifesteal. So in summary, maybe you won't get the highest possible Magical Power, but with low cooldowns and great survivability, you'll do both good damage and heal yourself efficiently. This build is seriously worth it mates, trust me.

Keep reading, and thanks again! Comments are welcome.

Pros and Cons

+ Great survivability
+ High mobility with low cooldowns
+ Magical aura for your teammates

- Squishy if not played correctly
- Need to be careful in case of a hard CC

Skills in Detail

As I've stated in the introduction, Water Cannon skill will be your lifesaver. It'll do great damage, you'll get to cast it a lot of times, and it will fill your health very effectively. Flood Waters will be a good escape mechanism as well as a catch up skill with lower cooldown. Waterspout? Well, the low cooldown on it makes you even more dangerous and versatile, as you'll be using it to prevent your opponent from escaping and also help you escape. This build makes Waterspout a great disabler. Oh yeah, Crushing Wave. You're low on health? Don't worry! This build has it all, just use your ultimate! You can't imagine how fast it will fill your health bar when you use it on multiple targets.
