Bonus Annotations
Optional48,800 Souls
Quicksilver ReloadDont bother, venator is almost all weapon damage. Spirit power just turns into resistances.
Extra RegenI mean if you NEED a green, but this isnt really worth it in general
Healing RiteIts ok round 1 as an offpick healing option
Restorative ShotDecent pick for sustain round 1 or 2
SharpshooterNot really worth it with the move speed penalty, but I can see it vs Vindicta and GrAY Talon
Long RangeCould be useful if you are getting stomped by gray talon or vindicta. Not worth it otherwise.
Echo ShardNot my first, second, or even third pick. Kinda scraping the bottom of the barrel with this one.
Cursed Relicpick this if you really hate someone in particular and want to annoy them.
Disarming HexCompletely shuts down Vyper, Wraith, Drifter, Silver.
Ethereal ShiftGet this if you are getting spammed with pins and reactable stuns.
Arctic BlastIts free damage, but leveling spirit is kind of a waste so you can probably do better.
Phantom StrikeGreat counter to Gray Talon and Vindicta, but you can really use this to jump anyone.
CounterspellVery good counter to bebop bomb build, just hit F when you get pulled in.
Enduring SpeedC-Tier in most situations, definitely a good pick if they have a Kelvin or are slowing you.
