HOLLIDAYS BEST ITEM
Mystic Burst
Only buy this once you have t3 barrels OR 64 spirit power for mystic shot.
Restorative Locket
Resto locket is awesome to keep you alive in clutch moments. The healing is pretty insane and the stam is awesome. It also gives 18% spirit res. Not too bad.
Superior Duration
Good for more support based builds. Alch fire, lasso, pad stun. Works on all of it.
Tankbuster
Built from Mystic Burst
Still one of the best mid late game spirit items. It just punches though resist.
Dispel Magic
Break the glass emergency button item. Targeted by slowing hex, focus lesnes, knockdown, phantom strike. Anything that is REALLY ANNOYING. Be mindful of all the resources the enemy has and when to use
Stamina Mastery
Built from Extra Stamina
More and more movement. Makes you so hard to kill. Wall dashing with this will give you incredible move speed.
Rescue Beam
Support holliday is calling...
Unstoppable
Get this for mid contest, annoying ults, and get another chance at life when geting CC'd. You can also pop it to go for a risky lasso.
Phantom Strike
MY GOAT ITEM. P strike can be a really good item to set up quick picks. Only get this once you have pad stomp.
Cheat Death
You can use this to make really risky plays in the late game. Lasso someone and have them blow all of their cooldowns on you.
Diviner's Kevlar
Ult CDR and Spirit power. You can use this as a free 1k barrier if you're in trouble
Indomitable
Get this if they have some scary pick or have ults you cant react too. The Phantom Mo is calling.... Duel
Cultist Sacrifice
Built from Monster Rounds
The tempo buy. If you're finding youself sidelaning and want some extra cash this will bost you. Also gives you a devent power up while its buffing you.
Sharpshooter
A really good 3200 item for Holliday. Most othe items dont do too much for her. This one just make you feel super punchy.
Heroic Aura
Bullet res all around. If you're left alone you can solo take walkers really quick. Look around for any empty lanes.
Spiritual Overflow
Press tab and look. It buffs everything.
Shadow Weave
Built from Sprint Boots
People hate this item I think it is fun. It is not optimal by any means, however, I think its silly so I like it. Go Veil if you hate it. w1
This can be a phenominal item on holliday. For one headshot - res and -healing its a bit expensive but late it can help a ton with mixed res and generally be good for the team.
Spirit Burn
The best anti heal item in the game*. Holliday can still proc it handy . Be mindful that it can be dispeld. Try to hold off and see if someone pops infuser, Kelvin pops dome, Ginnus drops heal.
Try to make sure people dont know you're there or have too much mental load. You can still be parried if they're smart.
Transcendent Cooldown
Built from Superior Cooldown
Item ability CDR. Works on items passives too! Not charged one thouhg. Decay, counterspell, Dispel, Veil Walker.
Escalating Exposure
EE. Let it stack, wait, and kill them. It can do a lot of damage but changes her play style a bit. You have to let EE stack and not just toss barrel after barrel.
Ethereal Shift
Double para bomb, failed lasso, lash ult, mina ult. There are a lot of places this can be used. Any time you just dont wanna die for 4 seconds.
Boundless Spirit
Rush this if you ahead and running the lobby. Otherwise you want to pick up some util and delay the spirit buy.
Mercurial Magnum
They nerfed this item but its still really good on holliday because her boon weapon growth is soo high.
Cursed Relic
Curse. Good if someone is just way outta had. Or for the cube.
Silence Wave
Stop the Geist, Pocket, Dynamo, Lash. This is good against a lot of people typically the ones that like to rotate though spells.
Disarming Hex
If anyone is doing a lot of m1 damage pick this up and shut them down.
Vortex Web
Built from Slowing Hex
Situational Late game item that can be pretty good. AOE Slowing hex is super strong against everone. Force out a dispel.
Scourge
Make youself tanky and go in. Good auto scale item. does % max health of the target. Not based on the HP of the person you put iy on.
Headshot Booster
SEVEN<SEVEN<SEVEN<SEVEN< Also builds into head hunter if you like that item.

One of the best healing items in the game. 500 Healing a min if you use it off CD.
