Item categories

1Early game
Game stage · 2 items · L->R
1. 1
  Headshot Booster
  The best lane pressure item in the game behind Mystic Burst (which we can't even proc early now) and builds into our core Gun item.
2. 2
  Extra Charge
  More stuff = More Gooder
2Pick One Stat Stick
Author's category · 4 items · sell for flex slot
1. 1
  Mystic Shot
  Default pick, allows you to equalize trades against any squishy target early, especially those with range. Hit it off cooldown everytime.
2. 2
  Opening Rounds
  Better than Mystic Shot into tankier lanes where they outsustain/heal the damage and you want to keep up the pressure. Mo & Krill, Abrams, Geist.
3. 3
  Suppressor
34.8k Spirit
Author's category · 2 items · L->R
1. 1
  Rapid Recharge
  Built from Extra Charge
  More Stuffs is More Gooder And More Awesomer
2. 2
  Improved Spirit
4Pick One
Author's category · 2 items · Check optionals too.
1. 1
  Restorative Locket
  This item lets you not buy Stamina Items literally ever and gives you so much sustain in Rift fights, it's insane.
2. 2
  Healbane
  Really solid antiheal since our barrels don't nearly burst as much and are pretty solidly countered by sustain. Plus, healing on kills is giga win-more.
5Mid game
Game stage · 11 items · L->R, but read annotations for swaps if desired.
1. 1
  Veil Walker
  More healing and utility than any other green we can buy and is such an overstatted item. I love her.
2. 2
  Recharging Rush
  We don't buy cooldowns anymore and this lets us be extremely proactive 24/7.
3. 3
  Headhunter
  Built from Headshot Booster
66.4k Flex Slotoptional
Author's category · 4 items · Buy after Overflow.
1. 1
  Silencer
  Should be your default buy in most games that have spirit characters or problematic abilities. Just a gross item that we can finally abuse.
2. 2
  Inhibitor
  Similar to Silencer, but better for gun-focused characters. The healing reduction really hurts them especially with Healbane.
3. 3
  Siphon Bullets
7optional
Author's category · 4 items · Buy WITH Healbane/Locket.
1. 1
  Trophy Collector
  If you're stomping the lobby this is a really good buy early to allow you to snowball.
2. 2
  Debuff Reducer
  If you know for sure you're buying Unstoppable and the team is running around with Debuffs/Stuns/Slows/etc this is so good early.
3. 3
  Reactive Barrier
8CC Flex Slotoptional
Author's category · 6 items · Buy in advance for problematic characters
1. 1
  Slowing Hex
  Insanely good purchase early, will net you 3-4 kills early against the right teams. Best time to buy is after Resto Locket.
2. 2
  Cursed Relic
  Genuinely disgusting at almost no detriment to you now. Stupidly OP with Lassos.
3. 3
  Knockdown
  Please buy this against Vindicta/Seven/Gray Talon/Lash and similar fliers to get out Unstoppables, Indoms, and Counterspells.
9Late Greensoptional
Author's category · 8 items · Not always needed.
1. 1
  Unstoppable
  Built from Debuff Reducer
  REPLACE WITH ANY LATE GREEN(S) OF YOUR CHOICE IF WANTED. Each has a situational use. Unstoppable should be the default. RUSH IF YOU'RE AHEAD AND DAMAGE IS GREAT!
2. 2
  Cheat Death
  Insanely overtuned especially with Duration. CURSE HARDCOUNTERS CHEAT DEATH. Really good when there's no other solid option to stop everything.
3. 3
10Headhunter Replacementsoptional
Author's category · 4 items
1. 1
  Alchemical Fire
  The classic Holliday gun spike - I personally don't pick this item up to favor my own carry potential but it's a solid choice.
2. 2
  Sharpshooter
  On paper the stats look good but we need firerate to utilize the extra damage properly, which we don't get until late. Some people like it tho so here.
3. 3
  Shadow Weave
11Nicheoptional
Author's category · 7 items · Very situationally good items.
1. 1
  Rebuttal
  Against Billy/Viscous/Abrams/Calico and other melee characters.
2. 2
  Monster Rounds
  against double m1 lanes so you can keep tower up until 6-8 minutes
3. 3
  Metal Skin
  You should rarely be buying this but it can be good against a buncha M1s.
