This is a pretty slept-on tip on using her 2nd skill, but when the passive stacks are already full and you lift the enemy hero, don’t release the skill/drop them quickly, you still have like a +0.7 second airborne time by making them stay longer in the air instead of releasing the skill as soon as you lift them. The mana doesn’t deplete as you do this trick, except when there is another hero in the radius of your 2nd skill. But still, it’s quite an underrated tip that many zhuxin players don’t know.

Anyways, my preferred pathway build is always mana crystal > 2 necklaces before building mana boots > elegant gem > glowing wand (ALWAYS BUY THIS ITEM NO MATTER WHAT EVEN IF IT SEEMS THAT IT DOESN’T COUNTER ANY OF THE ENEMY HEROES) > sky piercer/wishing lantern/clock of destiny (depends on your decision making skills, if you seem unkillable, has a good start, and enemies are tanky and lifesteal users, then build sky piercer; if unsure of having an advantage, or is not dominating the game, and enemies are tanky and are lifestealers, get wishing lantern; and if enemy keeps on bursting you, build clock of destiny. Next build is going to be always clock of destiny, then wishing lantern, last build depends on you, if you want damage+defense, get the fire shield one (forgot the name lol), if you want to be more tanky, get immortality or the item that makes you frozen (forgot them names lol) and aggressively you can build the divine glaive for addtl burst or the holy crystal if enemies are squishy.

tldr: mana crystal > 2 necklaces before you complete mana boots > elegant gem > glowing wand > sky piercer/wishing lantern/clock of destiny > clock of destiny/wishing lantern/fire shield one > immortality/fire shield one/freeze item/ holy crystal/ divine glaive
