Guide
As Decidueye, you'll either go for an aggressive style (Razor Leaf) or a patient style (Spirit Shackle). For this build we will go patient style.
"No matter how confident, a jedi does not seek out aggression. A jedi must find balance and stillness."

Decidueye is frail. You will die frequently if you push too hard, or get too close to the enemy. His mobility is also very low. To counter this, and also help keep distance we take X-Speed. X-Speed also synergizes well with Spirit Shackle, allowing faster movement while aiming.
For his held items, we take permanent attack boosts over basic attack speed/crit items. Only items with Permanent Atk boosts affect the damage of Spirit Shackle, our main dmg move.
Don't rush to get into a fight. Focus on stealing farm, and staying close to your goals. Your best assests to your teammates is your ability to scout, and steal. Decidueye can make big plays, with a shot fired at the right moments.

Shadow Sneak
-Can scout for enemies, any enemy in range will be auto targeted & revealed
-Use to dodge attacks, get away quickly, or advance quickly
-Use this while attempting to score, as it will alert you if an enemy is near
Spirit Shackle
-Use it to see ahead*, charging up allows you to see more of the battlefield
-Line up your shot to hit multiple targets, your arrows penetrate
-A charged shot can finish off Rotom, Drednaw, or Articuno allowing for safe steals
-Useful for assisting the team in fights, hang back behind the goal zone & fire shots at enemies battling your team
-Does extra damage to low health enemies, making it great at killing a fleeing enemy
-Very intimidating when you've landed a few good shots, enemies will become wary to push when they see you charging a shot
Nock-Nock
-Does extra damage to lower health targets, try to be patient in it's use
-Great deterrent when you need to provide covering fire for a teammate
++++++++++++
Decidueye can be a great assest to a team. Just remember not to push too hard, or get caught overextended. Steal objectives for your team, and support teammates in battles. Decidueye works best as a supportive attacker, firing from the back. He provides excellent locating ability to the team. The woe of many a Decidueye has been overconfidance and aggresion.
