Author's notes

Shamelessly stolen and slapped my name on it from ttv/fatc_dl If you dont like rushing decay (its a meme gimmick)_buy monster rounds > extra charge > trophy > expansion > decay This build is not easy to make work, if the enemy lane has hard shovers/lane partner is bad shover PLEASE buy monster rounds from the bottom
