Cons
Squishy and Vulnerable

The build lacks defensive items, making AMC vulnerable to burst damage and crowd control. Positioning and awareness are crucial to avoid getting caught out.
High Skill Cap

Playing AMC effectively with this build requires good mechanical skill, especially in terms of positioning, kiting, and hive management.
Reliance on Auto-Attacks

Early Game Vulnerability

AMC can be weaker in the early game compared to other hunters. He relies on item power spikes to reach his full potential, requiring careful farming and avoiding unnecessary deaths.
Needs Hive Management

To maximize the benefits from Hive, AMC needs to manage and place them strategically around the map. Poor hive placement can reduce his effectiveness and sustain.
Susceptible to Anti-Heal

Lifesteal from Asi can be countered by anti-heal items and abilities, reducing AMC’s sustain in fights and making him easier to kill.
Dependence on Crit RNG

Summary
Playing Ah Muzen Cab with this build provides high sustained damage, excellent lifesteal, and enhanced mobility, making him a formidable presence in fights and effective at taking down objectives.
