  1. Lane for souls first. Your kill pressure arrives with your first big item; until then, farm and look for one burst window.
  2. Drifter is a high-skill hero. Learn one reliable combo before you take them into ranked.
  3. Open with Melee Lifesteal and Stalker — the most-picked early items on Drifter.
