Core Strategy

The Sick has built-in 25% lifesteal but takes 1 damage per second. The base lifesteal is more than enough healing, so focus on damage and defense instead of additional healing items.

Required Stats:

Range DamageAttack SpeedArmor

Early Game

Focus on getting flat range damage early. Don't waste resources on additional lifesteal items. Get armor items when available as they synergize well with constant healing.

Mid Game

Stack flat damage items as SMGs benefit greatly from them. Keep upgrading weapons to level 2 for efficiency. Build speed and dodge for better survivability.

Avoid Items

Avoid lifesteal items as the character's base 25% is more than enough. Don't take HP regen items as they're disabled for this character.

Tips

Don't fall into the trap of building more lifesteal. Focus on positioning to maximize damage output. Speed becomes valuable late game for dodging. Prioritize armor over dodge early due to consistent healing.
