[ L -> R ] AIM QUEEN All spikes but very focused on gun build. if you enjoy aiming and hitting headshots then this build is for you!!
1Early game
Game stage · 8 items · Poke with Barrels, Crackshot, and keep landing body/head shots
Headshot Booster
Level 1 Crackshot with this is very good poke. This is the best early poke item you get on Holliday
Extra Charge
Good for more poke and trades
Extra Health
Extra HP cuz holliday is squishy asf
2Early Optionsoptional
Author's category · 3 items
Extra Regen
This is more consistent early healing than any option. Heals u well when you do box routes!
Healing Rite
When you are so low buy this instead of going back to base
Monster Rounds
Always buy this if you are getting pushed too hard and need to push back and clear waves
3Mid game
Game stage · 6 items · You need good aim otherwise you'll lack damage. Focus squishies!!
Sharpshooter
OP asf this early. Position urself outside of fights (flank or backline) If you get close you are gonna die. Let the frontline do their job and you do yours by kiting
Fortitude
Built from Extra Health
Helps you a lot to make u less squishy. Gives you lots of healing and movement speed between urn/rift fights
Stamina Mastery
4Late game
Game stage · 5 items · No order - Pick any situationally
Lucky Shot
This with Glass Cannon is slay, doubles ur damage
Spellslinger
PRRRR double your DPS with fire rate!!
Mercurial Magnum
Insane if they are buying too much bullet resist and if your team is heavy gun. Its a spirit gun item so you still need to hit shots!
5Other Damage Optionsoptional
Author's category · 6 items · Flexible per game
Active Reload
I slept on this item, its very good early to keep the poke pressure up without running out of ammo. Titanic Mag is also good so buy whichever!
Burst Fire
This is a realllllyy good alternative to Vampiric and Spellslinger if you want a cheaper fire rate item. Buy after Glass Cannon or Lucky Shot
Hollow Point
6Green Optionsoptional
Author's category · 11 items · Greens are very important, so depends on your situation you buy/replace what you need anytime
Spirit Resilience
If you are getting blown up by spirit, this is a very good option

8Tip 1
Author's category · 0 items · Early game is all about poking. Spam your Barrels and Crackshot whenever they're available, keep landing body/head shots non stop, you need to poke and pressure hard to do well in lane
No items listed.
9Tip 2
Author's category · 0 items · In the early to mid game when there's not much going on, focus on farming and ONLY fight when needed. You're the carry, if u die constantly and not farm you'll fall behind and become useless
No items listed.
10Tip 3
Author's category · 0 items · Mid /Late game, you have enough damage to kill carry squishies and that should always be your focus. Dont get too close though you will get shutdown. Also, watch who your frontliner is focusing and go focus them, the frontliner should peal for you
No items listed.
11Note 1
Author's category · 0 items · If you can't aim, this build will feel weak since everything relies on it but don't get discouraged, keep practicing and it will pay off! With good aim you'll have so much fun landing shots and carrying easily. This build is more than capable of doing so
No items listed.
12Note 2
Author's category · 0 items · Crackshot scales with spirit, so spirit is insane value even if going gun to get high damage numbers while still building gun. Going full gun is weak late game cuz you will be countered easily no matter how much bullet shred you have!
No items listed.
13Note 3
Author's category · 0 items · If you enjoy gun but your team needs spirit, try my other hybrid build thats mainly spirit but focusing towards gun late. Code: 594360

Headhunter
Built from Headshot Booster
HEADSHOT HEADSHOT HEADSHOT. Crackshot T2 is insane with this early
Swift Striker
Early fire rate that goes a long way, helps u farm faster as well. Really good item the goat
Extended Magazine
Its a good early buy to keep the poke pressure without running out of ammo + gives you small weapon damage
Bullet Resist Shredder
Builds into spirit spike, more gun damage and shred. 4.8k spirit is important because you dont have enough gun damage early and this helps you get fed towards gun
Surge of Power
Insane value for the fire rate and extra barrel damage to finish kills off. Your Crackshot scales off spirit so you deal more headshot damage. Dont skip spirit spike!
This item alone saved me so many times. Its very good for positioning and your movement feels bad without it
Titanic Magazine
Built from Extended Magazine
Dont disrespect this item, its really needed in the build. Replace it later if going Mercurial Magnum
Rapid Recharge
Built from Extra Charge
You need this for your pads to reposition and barrels for knock up to land shots
Glass Cannon
OP item for your gun, with this ur just too strong. The -% HP is ok cuz Headhunter, and Fortitude give you HP + Vampiric
Crippling Headshot
Insane shred for you and your team. I rush this when theres a Victor, Shiv, Abrams, etc.
Vampiric Burst
Fire rate = DPS and big healing when you hit shots. Its very good in this meta. I only buy if dying fast
Help u farm jungle and heal well. Gives you extra HP and more shred. Go this when they have lots of tanks
Armor Piercer
If they buy plated armor and theres a lot of bullet resist against u buy this ASAP otherwise you will lack damage
Ricochet
Mid item tbh lol, can rush if you want to mega farm but very good support item though with Crippling Headshot
Silencer
Go this if theres a lot of spirit against you, esp Wraith, Mina, Graves, etc.
Dispel Magic
Instant buy vs fed Infernus, Shiv, Bepop, Seven, etc. Removs any kind of debuffs like slow, cc on you, etc.
Metal Skin
If you are getting clapped by gun
Battle Vest
My go to early resist. Gives you weapon damage and fire rate that pairs well with Swift
Spirit Shielding
I only go this when against heavy spirit in lane/team, this is good to make you less squishy
Spellbreaker
Buy this when you are getting one shotted by spirit
Indomitable
Alternative to Counterspell
Inhibitor
Insane item for both winning or losing. Makes the enemy weaker and anti-heal which gives you the upper hand
Siphon Bullets
I go this when they are very tanky. Its insane with Inhibitor!!! Ignore everything and buy those asap when against tanks. Also dont buy Glass Cannon with this
