Predecessor Builds > Sparrow > Sparrow from Behind

#Have you fallen behind in the early game and need to catch up?

DISCLAIMER: This guide is what I've found success with lately, but I am lower ranked, so take that into account when reading this guide.

With Sparrow, you almost always want to start the match by building Storm Breaker. It ramps as you kill any and every thing, so get it as soon as you can do you can start building the chain lightning dmg.

But let's say you're falling behind early on and want to catch up. Breach will let you farm groups exceptionally well. Pay attention to the map and both teams' rotations and try to clean up lanes that are being ignored. As you level up, you can even invade jungle camps and clear them quickly. Focus on maximizing CS and minimizing engagements unless you see a chance to gank.

If you do catch up and want to start doing more hero melting, sell Breach when it would help you get your next item.

Ability order focuses on P Shot early on because it can be used to both damage mob groups and to poke or snipe heroes.

BONUS Strategy: The Hail Mary It's 25 mins in and not looking too good. The enemy team got primal fang and orb prime. They've just taken down an inhibitor and working on more. You've followed the guide and have Sky Splitter, working on Demolisher. This will require a combination of skill, luck, and your enemies being target blind at your base. Any levels you get at this point, put your points into Heightened Senses. Find a lane that's being ignored, preferably the lane with the most towers left to help you build up your waves, and annihilate the enemy minion waves as quick as possible with delusions of riches or experience in order to save as many of your minions as possible. Use HoA and P Shot on waves and make sure you have HS ready to pop when your minions reach a tower. Always prioritize melting enemy waves when under a tower. You should be able to clear a wave of super minions in 5 seconds or less. Push through to the core!! Again, focus on clearing enemy minions or returning heroes. With perseverance, dedication, and a lot of luck, you can take down the core before anyone comes to stop you.
