Burst mage paige, vortex combo centered with support pivot in the optionals. Fortitude/Veil walker only pick 1, these are what defines how you should be playing. Veil sets up for picks with your actives to cathc or fortitude to stay active and present in fights roaming, either way you are roaming and helping for trophy stacks. Focus on express shot damage early, this item does INSANE damage and gives you free trades in lane.
