ccnc does this too afaik

1-1-3 build then max orb

I alternate between the early right click build (4-1-2-0) and the farmer-nuker build (0-4-4-0). I know though, I have to be more dynamic.

honestly od's skill build is super flexible
i think u want at least 1 point in orb by lvl 5-6
and u get at least 2 points in essence aura
I THINK

I recently do 2-0-2 to dominate lane to max w but i want to try 1-1-3 to max w

Max W if you need the extra range, get orb otherwise. Always max aura first

did the 0-4-4-0 really fall off that badly?

I usually get Astral on lvl 1, Orb on lvl 4 and 6 and Aura on every level in between so its maxed out by lvl 7. Then Keep maxing Orb and usually take first point in ult on lvl 9. On lvl 10 get the attack speed talent. And then max out your other spells and ignore ult until lvl 16 because i feel like it just doesnt scale well enough.

If the game is not going so well and you feel like you need to farm more than you usually would or you need to keep your tower alive on mid because the enemy clears the wave too quickly (like sf or ta) then you can get 1-2 points in Orb and max Astral before it.
