4 combos

Ethereal Weapon S

Ethereal Weapon makes abilities trigger item effects — feels like old-school Zed.

Upgrade Collector S

Ability-vamp build. No tricks — just secure kills.

Ethereal Weapon A Tech

Abilities trigger the passive. Pair with Ravenous Hydra for old-school vibes.

Executioner C Trap

Executioner only resets cooldowns, not energy. Often you'll get the reset but can't cast anything.
