PUT RERVEB ON THE GRENADE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD
Put duration on dome, not beam, trust me.

Situational

Silence Glyph > Curse (usually not needed)

EXTRA TIPS IF YOU CARE TO READ

At the start, you want to bully people with the beam and take advantage of your melee items to deal bonus damage and CS freely
Berserker + the melee items + cqc self 'nade can cause some crazy hp swings in your favor, try baiting ppl into going around corners or into veils so you can get a nice charged melee out, works wonders.

EXTRA TIPS

Your ult's and grenade's animations take priority over your charged melee animation, so you can often get a free hit when doming or self 'nading
When you get to the point of buying crippling, you may be already able to spam your skills and have to sell your melee items, so you need to shift your playstyle and stop with meleeing
Enough EE stacks + Imp Burst will make your enemies implode, so go for 'nade > beam > 'nade and watch the fireworks.

EXTRA TIPS

Your Ult + Beam can apply a 120% RoF reduction, this works against Haze's ultimate as well (speaking of Haze, just melee her during her ult, if you shoot you have a 50% chance to miss)
If you're certain you can kill someone, but not sure if you can chase them, don't be afraid to solo dome them
Speaking of dome, IT'S NOT A GET OUT OF JAIL FREE CARD, don't dome a fed person that likes being in enclosed spaces, you'll lose
SILENCE GLYPH IS GOATED, USE IT AND ABUSE IT.

Kelvin Build Description

Get grenade max, get ice path upped, sprint and silence, BOOM, you can gank like crazy and clear the whole jungle like a madman.

Many tips at the bottom. Abuse melee early. Abuse big boom + silence + roaming mid game. Abuse EE beam + Imp Burst reverb grenade late.

Now with annotations and a late-game example build at the end :3
