Joule You should be able to give her a good walloping
3
Adagio Avoid the stun with boots or [[Roadie Run]]
3
Ringo Ringo can deal some quick damage, but as long as you can survivie his ult he is a non-threat
4
Skaarf Skarff is a threat early because the little bugger is hard to escape

Glaive A well timed dash can get you away from the knockback, after that you can chew through him

SAW Really depends on the [[SAW]] build you are facing. If it is a crystal build avoid the [[Mad Cannon]], if it is a weapon build try to get your teammates on him too and use your [[Suppressing Fire]] to keep him in their range
6
Catherine She'll stun your stacks away, and her shield will kill your whole team if you are not careful with your [[Mad Cannon]], but just be patient and save her to last in a fight and she'll normally have burned out her crystal power by then
7
Petal Beware the Munions... and her ult. If you see those little hellspawn get their birthday candles [[Roadie Run]] outta there or throw up a [[Reflex Block]] if you built one
8
Koshka She's squishy, but she can close gaps fast. Be cautious but she is pretty killable
9
Krul I'm just not good a fighting Krul... I should play him some to learn how to counter
9
Taka If you can survive the super burst Taka you can take him down as long as you can see him... If...

BASIC GAMEPLAY:

This build is dependent on 2 things, patience and gold. If you are solo laning then try to hang back staying in or behind mid-lane. You do want to get hit by the tributes for the Ironguard Contract gold, but don't push it far and get caught in a trap by a tanking jungler. If you are dual laning then you can be a little more aggressive in order to keep farming the Ironguard Contract gold and pressuring the lane. If you are holding your ground well I often sink the second skill point into supressing fire as it can give you that little boost you need to kill your counter laner, after all you have the 4 Halcyon Potions to keep you alive. However, if you are up against an enemy that is pushing back well then definitely put that point in Roadie Run for the quick getaways. This build starts to really own after you get the Alternating Current built, so just hang in there.

BETA BUILD NOTES:
what I'm playing with as I continue fine tuning the build
CURRENT BUILD GUIDE:

First 5 minutes... Top

Get out early with the starting items and use the Ironguard Contract to farm some quick cash. The 4 Halcyon Potions should keep you there for a good while. If your team can knock down an enemy or 2 and/or the opportunity presents itself make sure you grab the goldmine after the pie is more than half full. If you find yourself back at a shop go ahead and start building your Serpent Mask, reload your Halcyon Potions and get back out there soldier!

Minutes 5-10... Top

You should have your Serpent Mask or be real close to it by now. Start building an Eve of Harvest the second half of your life stealing AC/DC powerhouse. I normally go battery first so I can get some recharge power going on. Keep pushing lane, but start being a little cautious. After all, you have a gold mine to protect or gank, and your team needs you alive to take a turret or 2.

Minutes 10-15... Top

Finish up your Eve of Harvest, strap on some Travel Boots and start roaming as you wish. Save the boot active for quick getaways and remember not to target Catherine with your Mad Cannon when she has her shield up! Next on the menu is Alternating Current so start building it once you have the the above items. You can sell the Ironguard Contract if you need the room, or the Halcyon Potions if you have a team that has some health regen capabilities and you want to keep getting gold from the Ironguard Contract.

Minutes 15-20... Top

Hopefully your team is working well and you have a couple enemy turrets down. If not, don't fret because you are nearing beast mode. Finish up you Alternating Current and move on to your Shatterglass if possible. Careful since you are a walking target so try to stay on the edge of the fray when you can and use Suppressing Fire to cut off fleeing enemies from team skirmishes. The Shatterglass feeds your Alternating Current which is converted into health every other hit by the Eve of Harvest and your Serpent Mask steals health on top and in between. Try to keep your Spin Up fully stacked so you can keep soaking up the health while you dish out the damage.

Minutes 20-25... Top

Keep heading towards your Shatterglass and finish it if you can. Don't be afraid to double dip on your build if you need some armor or shield in tandem, or in some cases hold the Shatterglass until you get a tier 3 defensive item. Staying alive and in the game is more important than trying to build offensive items quickly. You need the cash to get them anyways.

Minutes 25+... Top

So you've made it this far eh? Finish that Shatterglass bounce those Travel Boots to Journey Boots for the perks and build your choice of 6th item. That item is totally dependent on what is happening in the match so it is hard for me to suggest, hence the range of choices I propose. Anything pretty much works well there since you are able to dip into multiple damage buckets.
