Author's notes

Rush 4.8k spirit investment if you can. Make sure to buy some early game defensive item as Mina has the lowest health in the game and is very squishy early because of her long retreat cooldown. Can max Rake second instead of Retreat if the third recast is not that needed. Become the greatest vampire in New York.
