6I'm not usually the best at explaining things, but I hope this does the trick. Capacitor solves many of infernus' biggest weaknesses: his low gun damage, weakness to dispel magic, and weakness to things such as plated armor and metal skin. We are allowed to ignore these factors and continue to damage our opponents even if they buy counter items. Sure, you won't be doing as much damage... but in the end it's the best way to counter those counter items. Did I also mention that it does a crap ton of damage? Because there was a point in time where I would rush this item (And truth be told, there is enough here to warrent that you could do the exact same thing). It also helps us with farming, with Tesla Bullets also providing value there. The last thing? Infernus' 17% damage on napalm applies to capacitor and tesla bullets. On top of escalating, you can see capacitor shocks reach damage thresholds past 100. The most I've seen in a game hit 170 per shock. This item is my beloved.

7Healing tempo feels like a very odd addition to the build, or something that we should really consider adding later. However, I rush this item NOT because it gives just good stats (Although it totally does and that's really nice), but for the way that it's technically 3 items in one. We use this to replace swift striker, and if you're REALLY ballsy, a movement speed item, while also giving the healing buff from healing booster. This build gets like a spirit res without having to buy it), but because of the way that it works with the build. Radiant regeneration procs this thing, and that's what makes it absolutely broken. You can engage a fight and be granted swift striker stats. Leave a fight and be granted enduring speed stats. We can realistically ignore those items (I still get speed for in general use) and then instead spend them on things that matter more to us. You can feasibly fit so many extra items because this item replaces 2. Those smaller, less expensive items can mean the difference between killing someone and not. Having reactive barrier instead of swift striker means that you can survive doorman ults. Skipping enduring speed means a faster rush to quicksilver reload. Sure, we are spending more for this item that could be spent to other items... but this does it in just one.

8Spiritual Overflow has a much shorter manifesto (because the item itself already is just THAT good), but regardless here it is. This item is absolutely broken early on. This build doesn't really get some of the more core infernus items like Swift Striker or Duration Extender. This item on its own you can think of as both of them. You gain incredible value when you fight other people. If you're winning, YOU WIN HARDER. If you can play agressive, YOU CAN PLAY AGGRESSIVE...ER? Look, the point of it is that it's fantastic as an item to ruin people's day through doing lots of damage, very very quickly.

Healing Tempo
Built from Healing Booster
Good night sweet prince <3. Sell swift striker
Plated Armor
I would get this item even against a haze, mostly because curse can't remove it and it also stops procs
Juggernaut
Built from Enduring Speed
Delete high-fire rate characters
Ethereal Shift
Wait out ults and then dash away
Spellbreaker
I absolitely love this item in the end game, and find that it's very superb in this meta, too
Trophy Collector
Built from Sprint Boots
If you're winning, get this earlier in the build. Otherwise just pretty decent stats!
Escalating Resilience
Built from Extended Magazine
ALT TO REACTIVE BARRIER | Lots of nice stats. I like this over bullet res because of the stats alome
Warp Stone
If you're cracked with ult. If you need to escape invest in Flame Dash [2] more and get Rapid Recharge
Rapid Recharge
Dash is viable in this loadout, if that is more your speed
Cursed Relic
You are scrolling twitter instead of playing the game
Spirit Burn
Stupidly rich
Ricochet
As team fights become more important, this item gains incredible value. Don't buy this to farm because Capacitor is already great at that, only get if you need team fight support
Enchanter's Emblem
If you want to do some spirit res -> Bullet Resil
Duration Extender
TESTING THIS | Over quicksilver?
Superior Duration
Built from Duration Extender
If you have a much more passive playstyle, this does better than quicksilver
Counterspell
All things considered it's still a good item, but I think there are much better options
