Elendilli - Gun/Tank/Debuff Urn Fighter (V9)
This is a debuff / tank build Twitch.tv/Elendilli Due to the landscape of this patch (urn fights), the "solo carry" aspect of the build is no longer a thing (all fighting, almost no farming). You must play a tanky/debuff damage absorber as a result. This build helps you achieve that while doing good damage. Reminder that Spirit Turret/Ult builds are still the best for now.

Elendilli - Infinite Damage Solo Carry (V9 test2)
currently testing build atm Twitch.tv/Elendilli This build is optimal for solo carrying but requires some farm priority or macro early to mid game before the build hits one of its power spikes. Build excels at destroying objectives (Walkers, Midboss, Patron) & enemy Heroes. testing v9 options nothing concrete yet

Elendilli - GIGA ULT BUILD + INFINITE TURRETS (V4)
Full Guide: youtube.com/watch?v=YGkB3pHe088 I also stream on twitch.tv/Elendilli This build focuses on maxing ultimate which deals infinity damage (Midboss/Enemy base is our best place to use it). Turrets are secondary to ult but turrets still scale really well into mid/late game so they are super annoying for enemies.

Power spikes: 1) Defensive Battle Vest or Enchanters Emblem (gun vs spirit lane), 2) Tesla Bullets, 3) Quicksilver Reload + Fleetfoot, 4) Mercurial Magnum, 5) Blood Tribute (Hard to use, would not recommend if you aren't confident in turning it on/off constantly), 6) Ricochet + Silencer, 7) Spellslinger, 8) Armour Piercing Rounds OR Glass Cannon. Remember to READ Spellslinger on how to use it properly. APR (Armor Piercing Rounds) is highly effective against high bullet resist AND you can 'lifesteal' with 'Vampiric Burst' when APR procs as if they had 0% bullet resist for said proc meaning if you notice you're 'lifestealing' way less but they haven't used'anti-heal' on you, it's probably because they have high bullet resist. As a result of APR, you can safely sell your bullet shred items like 'Bullet Resist Shredder' or 'Hunter's Aura' late game if you are having slot issues. Lastly, if you have any questions about anything from this build, McGinnis questions in general, I stream occasionally on twitch.tv/Elendilli or leave a comment on my YT vids and I'll answer.
