Yushe's Hybrid Wizard

Work in Progress Experimental build! This build provides investment in all three categories which ends in you having good spirit damage, decent tankyness and great gun damage. It can be hard to build against since you'll be doing both gun and spirit damage when your assistant is up.

This maximizes Spectral Assistants DPS through the entire match allowing you to quickly jungle and deal MAX DMG to enemies ALL while the assistant auto-aims for you. It's TONS of damage early and late game!
