Update: Played this and Vindi(Both versions) and unironically I think Renegade is actually way better than vindi right now. Herald is probably still better than both right now but Ren feels good. I feel like Im never struggling sustain wise and still hit like 5k sevenshots aswell as consistent high damage, aoe alacrity for your team in teamfights high weakness and cc spam so yeah, impressive. Shiro is very useful right now aswell because virtuoso is pretty common and your damage in shiro goes straight through their blocks.
I don't know who these people are who say the build is "still viable" it's so ridiculously underpowered it almost makes me wanna cry. The DAMAGE is non-existent. Even sevenshot followed by citadel bombardment with Impossible Odds takes away a meta class' 3rd of total hp, that's without bearing in mind the fact that every single meta class now spams block/aegis and has insane condi cleanse. Oh and let's not forget Eles being the main player in this meta, so get ready for AoE projectile block and magnetic auras 24/7. This build is dead, sorry, but it's true. 1/5
Still does okay, but the powercreep has pushed it out of the meta. I'd still consider this slightly above average, but only slightly. Perfectly viable for ranked, but there are better specs out there.
Herald may be meta, but this build is overall much more versatile in soloq. You can side node, or put out huge aoe damage mid. Tons of CC and reasonably tanky. There's just so much you can do with this.
Rediculously versatile with unparalleled damage output, amazing mobility, powerful team support and reasonable sustain. The go-to for win.
Sevenshot is likely to get nerfed on either damage or cooldown, nonetheless this build quite defines the idea of being a glass canon. It can beat condition builds too but through very hard earned efforts and predictions, otherwise it gets countered quite easily by such as confusion or poison because of the amount of key presses required to be effective and healing being very limited. With all the projectile reflect their can be as well from what appears to be mostly condition builds too, it's weaknesses are not glaring but noticeable. It can hold it's own and even points depending on the match up, against certain 1v2's it can turn the tides quite fast from foes that are not wary of the burst and the ability to safely stomp.
