Lady Geist is a very annoying character, especially during the early laning phase. She’s not that big of a damage dealer, but she is definitely a strong laner, and also can be the reason to destroy even the strongest character on the opposite team with her ultimate.
In this guide, the Essence Bomb will be our main focus, as we’ll bolster its damage and shorten its cooldown quite a bit. I honestly thing this is the build that most of you should go for, despite the fact that there’s a pure damage one.
