Choose a coherent path
The reviewed default is slash assassin. An alternative is gloom bombs spell burst. These are tactical interpretations of the kit, not official roles or measured win-rate rankings.
Leaping Slash deals melee damage and heals on hero contact. An assassin label does not make every part of her kit bullet damage.

Ability targets
The default target for eligible single-target imbues is ability 1, Gloom Bombs. Item eligibility still takes precedence: Echo Shard cannot reset an ultimate, charge items apply automatically, and global upgrades affect all eligible abilities.
Item direction
Use these as candidates for the stated path. The planner chooses compatible upgrades, accounts for owned components and reserves room for the lineup response.
Playing against Calico
Deny clean entries and punish her after escape windows; movement silence must be timed before escape.
A partial enemy lineup cannot establish lane assignments, enemy purchases or who is ahead. Supply those details in the planner where supported, and reconsider the plan as the match changes.
