This build is based on providing you with a lot of mana, wich you should use to spam phantom lance to harass lane opponents and discourage enemys from enganging.
also the large manapool is realy usefull for trolling opponents with doppelwalk.
when you get the feeling they figured out your patern, switch it up. trolling is a crucial and realy fun part of the Lancer gameplay.
Provides some alternative items to build if the game is not going as planned.
