Choose a coherent path
The reviewed default is cube and control utility. An alternative is puddle punch melee or splatter caster. These are tactical interpretations of the kit, not official roles or measured win-rate rankings.
Puddle Punch deals melee damage and can be parried. Cube is a rescue and regeneration tool that restricts the target from new actions; it is not a free damage buff.

Ability targets
The default target for eligible single-target imbues is ability 1, Splatter. 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 Viscous
Spread, watch rescue cooldowns and parry Puddle Punch when feasible.
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.
