Versatile Holliday Build to Catch The Troubadour

Author's notes

Build I've built over my time playing Holliday based on what I've liked building. This build prioritizes roam potential while also staying flexible to fit what the team needs.

   1. 1

      Restorative Shot

      Best sustain option since you wanna be active in lane and your gun is super accurate. I like this over Extra Regen but you can take it if you prefer

   2. 2

      Monster Rounds

      If your lane partner ever slips you a note that they'll leak your address to everyone in game if wave prio isn't obtained, pick this one up

   1. 1

      Rapid Recharge

      Built from Extra Charge

      Assuming you bought the Laning Spirit Core and spent 1600 souls, you should have Rapid Recharge and T3 barrel near the same time. Start roaming!

   2. 2

      Mystic Burst

      Can buy when Barrels start doing 80 spirit burst (keep in mind it's 80 damage AFTER spirit resist, unlike Tankbuster)

      Enchanter's Emblem

      Great damage, spirit resist, and cooldown reduction, very aggressive option that gives you stats unlike a certain snowballing green 1.6k wait fuck he's to my right he can hear me
