max rend first if enemy team is 4+ spirit character (try always to play on your stack go to other lanes and look for kills or fights so you can get stack on both passive and trophy collector) also in the beginning its worth to die for a stack since you spawn very fast and you get a stack for more damage if you liked the build i have more for other characters billy: 774029 shiv: 803982 abrams: 805341 venator: 642732 lash: 826292 try them maybe you will like it (:
