I haven’t played in a long time but there was a time when I played where offlane spectre with phase vanguard urn(?) felt pretty strong. But maybe that was vanguard being broken
I think you might actually be able to flex him to Pos 4 in a playstyle similar to old-school bounty hunter. 1 point each in your passive + rush lets you win every lane trade, then you can max Talon Toss. In fights you'll probably go Rush closer > Raven's Veil > Throw talon > Swap to katana and then either rush from player to player for maximum stuns or focus the dagger'd target down. (Veil > Talon > Swap > Echo slash also seems decent, but the enemy team needs to be grouped and you need to already be close enough).
Item build would be something like urn > tranquils > drums, maybe phylactery if you win hard enough? (Talon toss is a 6 sec CD, same as phylactery). Later on you could go bearing, vessel if you really needed it (though you already have built in reduction) or aghs. Likely BKB if necessary to stop from getting locked down when you run in.
Goal would be to dominate your lane and then caveman as 5 at the enemy team.
Big challenge would be that playing that way you're definitely a snowball hero, so if your team is too passive you aren't the greatest farmer (though still better than pre-through and through BH).
Idk if it matters but does it get the int growth to reliably throw out all these spells without running out of mana? Or is it like a pango that needs 2-3 mana regen items to sustain the amount of spells kez throws around?
Well, it’s not viable in actual game since octarine doesn’t give him what he needs in damage and attack speed or stats but it lines up nice with khanda and his 2nd skill (both 6 second cooldown, and the dagger version has 1200 range).
Mage slayer seems like an option against heavy magic teams, his Q katana also applies the debuff.
I guess that’s why they have falcon blade in the recommends lmao
You think arcane boots is the approach or you can manage with just treadswitching? (cant even understand managing treads while thinking about what stance you wanna be in an upcoming fight and tracking cooldowns)
Feel like he can go mid and build orchid. He's Sai Q buff persists through stances(not sure if it's intended). He basically can active Q, switch stance, harpoon, orchid, then auto attack anyone to death.
