After reading all 10,612 words of Incursions patch notes (yes, the only book worth reading), Kinetic Blast remained unchanged but Power Siphon and Vaal Power Siphon was buffed so I picked up Power Siphon which carried onto the idea of using "niche" skills and setup to create my current character

During the build planning phase, it originally started as CI Power Siphon and uses similar items and mechanics as Kinetic Blast such as Queen of the Forest with evasion scaling for high movement speed and using Piscator's Vigil and Lycosidae for high consistent elemental damage along with flat added damage through abyss jewels

Trickster shined as the best ascendancy choice for a CI / Evasion hybrid using ascendancy nodes such as Ghost Dance and Escape Artist for more evade, dodge evasion and energy shield as well as nodes such as Swift Killer and Harness the Void for constant frenzy and power charges and another source of damage which scales further based on elemental damage

The combination of Power Siphon and the use of all these Vaal skills create the name of the build being "Vaal Blaster"

Pros:
+Fast clearspeed
+Fast movement speed
+Using a wand skill other than Kinetic Blast + Barrage

Cons:
-Boss fight damage
-Elemental damage scales off abyss jewels which scale off investment

Shadow - Trickster

TLDR Version
Character Name: PowerSiphonBetterThanKB
If you skipped straight here, you missed all the dank memes you normie

This build can be changed to suit your liking
- Tank more = More Energy Shield
- Deal MORE Damage = More Jewel Sockets
- Change Auras - Use Wrath or Herald of Thunder
Many other items exist such as Vinktar's Vessel and The Wise Oak which are very strong flasks but sacrifice toughness or movement speed, or Esh's mirror for huge damage but then you can miss even with aimbot Power Siphon
