      Extra Health

   4. 4

      Kinetic Dash

      Built from Extra Stamina

      Best used when springing fights onto enemies out of smoke, no longer a "stamina saver. I advise you put some thought into your stamina usage and rely on Smoke Bomb’s speed for rotations.

2. 2Lane Techoptional

   1. 1

      Extra Regen

      If taking chip damage in lane and need to stay healthy.

   2. 2

      Healing Rite

      If taking big chunks of damage from ability combos (Bebop hook, Shiv dash, etc.) pop Healing Rite and go break statues / boxes while regenerating.

   3. 3

      Restorative Shot

      If you're competent and able to properly poke enemy players in lane, this is a straight-up superior buy over Extra Regen. If they're playing super safe, it might not be ideal.

3. 3Mid Game

   Author's category · 4 items · QSR on Dagger

   1. 1

      Quicksilver Reload

      Use dagger at the end of your first mag to extend your damage in a gank if you didn’t need dagger to initiate. Use at the end of a mag when split pushing and stealing jungle.

   2. 2

      Swift Striker

      Built from Rapid Rounds

   3. 3

      Spirit Shielding

      This enables us to take gank damage trades and is basically a 30% health amp. I get this before Slowing Bullets often, but you can rush it into Spirit Burst lanes (Bebop, Krill, Wraith, etc.)

4. 4Core & Late Game

   Author's category · 8 items · Annotations!

   1. 1

      Slowing Hex

      This is our core gank enabler. Against slippery heroes with quick instant mobility like Lash, Vindicta, Infernus, Pocket, I apply this as I engage. If they’re not so quick I save it for halfway throug

      Slowing Bullets

   3. 3

      Burst Fire

      Built from Rapid Rounds

5. 5Sell Hex for Either One

   Author's category · 2 items

   1. 1

      Silence Wave

      If you want a moderate upgrade to Slowing Hex, Wave is excellent. This is an especially strong tool into deathball comps.

   2. 2

      Cursed Relic

      I often sell Slowing Hex for Curse past 30 minutes. Communicate when you Curse someone in a team fight. Save it for big channel Ults if they have any.

6. 6Map Control

   Author's category · 1 items

   1. 1

      Fortitude

      Built from Extra Health

      If your team has adequate map control / wave pressure, Fortitude is a great pickup. HOWEVER, If your team doesn't have that control, you won't get the value to make it worth.

7. 7Late Game Tech & Sustain

   Author's category · 9 items · Read Annotations!

   1. 1

      Unstoppable

      Buy for late game when big CC is a huge issue, I prefer this for Haze over Counterspell.

   2. 2

      Spellbreaker

      Incredibly useful into high-burst Spirit teams such as Yamato, Bebop, or Talon. Insane Late Game spirit resist item if you are well fed and able to push people around.

   3. 3

      Capacitor

      Anti Leechboss tank item that takes a lot of thought to use properly. Great to break down Mercurial Mag, Colossus, Scorn, etc.

10. 10Gameplan

    Author's category · 0 items · We play fully active with little / no teamside farming (sometimes Slots). Take trades in lane and midgame with Spirit Shielding. Setup ganks with Dagger & Hex paired with a teammate or solo. Steal jungle inbetween. Past 30min we Leech Boss with Siphon Tempo to stay alive. We play for every minute before they can buy Plated Armor, this hero clocks out when they have it.
