Threat Hero Notes
1
   No Threat
2
 Adagio Just watch for his stun and use Roadie Run to quickly get out of it. Or you can pop Crucible/Aegis at just the right time
2
 Ardan Don't get caught in his gauntlet by yourself. If you do, just keep shooting and your serpent masks can do wonders.
2
 Ringo Easy feed. Not much to be worried about.
3
 Petal Easy, easy feed. Your Suppressing fire can easily get rid of her minions. Just be careful of getting caught in her ultimate especially when you're on full 12 stacks.
3
 Skaarf In general, Skaarf is super squishy and you can mow him down in a matter of seconds when on full stacks. Careful of his ultimate though
4
 Vox Nothing to scary. Mow him down. Careful of his resonance, because the tiny damage bouncing on to you might build up.
5
 Celeste Watch for the stun. Be cautious of her Heliogenisis
5
 Joule Just be cautious of Joule's stun and don't get caught in her ultimate. Otherwise, she's easy feed.
5
 SAW Your build should easily dominate the other SAW's, but just keep an eye out for enemy teammates.
6
 Catherine Watch for the stuns. Activate suppressing fire to get your stacks back up to 12. Her Stormguard can dish out a lot of damage.
7
 Glaive Be very cautious of the ganks when you're in lane, and especially if you're on full stacks. But with this build, just keep on shooting, and your Serpent Masks and Breaking Point can create wonders.
7
 Koshka Be cautious of her stun and if she's building Aftershock, she can easily burst you down. CAUTION
8
   No Threat
9
 Krul Dead Man's Rush, Spectral Smite, that sword throw thingee. All of those can burst you down super quickly. Unless you have a teammate to 2v1 Krul, avoid him!!
9
 Taka This foxman could burst through you with his first and ultimate abilities and can just hide under his box and run away whenever he gets in danger. SO ANNOYING.
10

Explanation of Playstyle Top

Just keep shooting, just keep shooting.
Believe me, the Serpent Masks and BP will do you wonders against anybody who isn't Taka or Krul xD. You will survive longer than you think. Even if you try to run, you'll get caught anyway, caught easily if you're on full 12 stacks. So why not just dish out some last second damage? (that might even save your life)
Use shanks wisely. You can use it to jump out of a sticky situation or chase down an enemy.
I don't recommend using your ultimate as often as you normally would, as your Serpent Masks do not lifesteal when using your ultimate.

Explanation of Items Top

The 2 Serpent Masks are to keep you in the fight for as long as possible. With 2 Serpent Masks, it will get very hard to kill you, and you can farm health off of enemy minions XD. The Breaking Point has been changed, and it is not the same as the breaking point description on this site. I believe you get a stack every second you're in combat with an enemy and each stack adds 9 WP and a crit % and crit damage to your shot. Max 20 stacks. So essentially, bottom line is after 20 seconds, you become GODLY, and it will take a number of enemies to bring you down. :)
The Tyrant's Monocle helps out a ton with crits and the crits really burst down enemies surprisingly well. The Crucible is for the extra health, so you can "farm health" XDD. Also really helpful when you're facing an enemy that has a stun e.g. Adagio, Koshka, Joule, Catherine. Just pop Crucible right before they stun. Lastly, the defensive item (Metal Jacket/Aegis) will keep you more resistant to enemy abilities and basic attacks, making it EVEN harder to kill you.
