Ignore enemies Post-Lane and just sit in between walker and base guardians. Want to be on right side of map because it's more distance and corners between those two objectives vs. left side. It's like Wallbreaker Victor but you actually just live instead of giving souls.
1Core
Author's category · 9 items · Fortitude lets you stay in the backline. Then Cultist to start shooting minions + ignore enemies and good farm. Sell Cultist in the ultra late game for Active Item slots. This should be L-R but can deviate. I have started getting my gun 4.8 earlier and earlier. Should have all 4.8's before hard committing in backline.
Extra Health
Fortitude
Built from Extra Health
Your bread and butter with invisibility to kite and then stay in the fight.
Monster Rounds
Core, need to clear waves ASAP
2Gunoptional
Author's category · 8 items · Pick 1 (one) for 4.8k.
Swift Striker
Really good, really consistent, can feel the buff.
Recharging Rush
Kinda epic but I don't shoot enemies very often and usually feel like I have enough charges
Slowing Bullets
IDK probably not. Maybe to slow people chasing you? Plus weighted IG but that slows stamina which = bad
3G.O.A.T.optional
Author's category · 1 items
Heroic Aura
VERY good item for fast pushing the waves.
4Wants
Author's category · 9 items · You are become unkill. Unstop or cheat death aren't ordered, buy depending on if you're getting bursted vs. CC'd. Echo Shard gives you TEN (10) seconds to ignore enemies. Refresher gives you another ult to kill objectives and another 5 seconds.
Magic Carpet
Core item. Remember that if you're fully invisible YOU can see your carpet but they can't see it.
Cheat Death
Core, big thing here is the cleanse on proc.
Unstoppable
5I need slots + want to do damageoptional
Author's category · 8 items · Do NOT buy Richochet or Tesla/Capacitor. You will wake up your sleep dart targets if you do, stealing time to clear waves.
Mercurial Magnum
Built from Quicksilver Reload
People say this is not good on Haze but I feel a big difference in my damage before max stacks come into play. Also keep the reload available.
Spiritual Overflow
Ability Duration = epic, fire rate = epic, spirit power = ok, spirit lifesteal = meh
6I like my Dagger.optional
Author's category · 2 items
Refresher
Rage bait item. Might need to rearrange this because you will have to sell Cultist to get this. But then you would lose your 4.8k gun so I usually pick one of the items below before committing to this
Boundless Spirit
Should have about 700+ on a dagger if you buy this.
7Optionals...optional
Author's category · 3 items · I never buy these but people like them. Dispel is actually good because of silences but Unstop solves that problem better.
Warp Stone
Counterspell
The Green G.O.A.T.
Dispel Magic
Good mid game, useless (because of slots) in the early (because money) and late game (better options).
Categories appear in the author's order. Only the editor's default Early, Mid and Late sections are marked as game stages; the author's own categories keep their names. “Built from” links come from the game's item recipes.

Cultist Sacrifice
Built from Monster Rounds
Very good for souls. Will probably have to sell in the turbo late game. Also remember that denizens reset Fort. Go invis b4 eating to keep regen
Extra Stamina
Extra Charge
This is secretly a 3.2k item masquerading as an 800 item (free debuff remover).
Stamina Mastery
Built from Extra Stamina
Actual Core item. There is MAYBE an argument to sell it ultra late because of Carpet but it's so damn good I can't bring myself to.
Quicksilver Reload
Can change this for a different 1.6k spirit item but I find it very valuable for the fast reload to clear waves vs. active reload.
Rapid Recharge
Built from Extra Charge
A (sorta) 2.4k item worth 3.2k souls.
Titanic Magazine
Mostly irrelevant because of QSR but maybe consider if you want to get something else instead of QSR.
Kinetic Dash
Built from Extra Stamina
Extra stamina + fire rate is epic.
Opening Rounds
Never used, maybe good in this new patch.
Mystic Shot
Haven't really tried, but good for the burst + spirit power we love.
Fleetfoot
Would not recommend, you're (active) slot locked.
Also core, late game people spam CC like knockdown (lol), slowing hex (lmao), silence wave (dangerous) and curse (this can suck).
Echo Shard
10 seconds of free time after Superior Duration + Carpet. Also Dagger has highest spirit scaling in the game for some reason.
Duration Extender
No target because you could argue it on any three depending on what you want in game state.
Compress Cooldown
This is bound to ult because it's your money maker.
Superior Cooldown
Built from Compress Cooldown
Superior Duration
Built from Duration Extender
Transcendent Cooldown
Built from Superior Cooldown
Sometimes I get this earlier than Sup. Duration because it gives you everything SO much faster, especially Cheat Death so you can rotate wave proxies quicker.
Glass Cannon
If you are getting kills (somehow) then this is good. Damage usually isn't good on Haze vs. fire rate but it's still nice for the investment, especially if you bought Heroic it's the 9.6k spike.
Silencer
When you want to hit them with the 'LEAVE ME ALONE AND GET YOUR OWN LIFE!'
Frenzy
You will usually be either full health (or at least +50%) or at 1 so idk if this is good lol
Lucky Shot
Probably not I've heard the bonus damage is mid
Armor Piercer
If you want to pivot to kill in the turbo late game because the only objective left is 2nd Patron.
Crippling Headshot
Just to fuck with them
