6. 6
  Extended Magazine
  Its a good early buy to keep the poke pressure without running out of ammo + gives you small weapon damage
7. 7

8Tip 1
Author's category · 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 · 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 · 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 · 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 · 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 · If you enjoy gun but your team needs spirit, try my other hybrid build thats mainly spirit but focusing towards gun late. Code: 594360

Times are when players on this build typically bought each item (observed guidance, not deadlines). Dashed steps are late continuations: this style's most-bought late items, added so the build runs to the late game. Stage details below show how many of this group bought each item, optional items and situational swaps.

By stage

“Bought” percentages say how many players in this group bought the item; they are not win rates. Swaps are our advice from each item's current game text, not measured matchup results.

Final inventory target

About this recommendation

Sample: Holliday, normal mode, ranked matches with average rank Phantom or higher, from Oct 5, 2026 (Oct 5, 2026 update) to Oct 8, 2026, never more than 14 days: 1,861 matches, 50.0% won. Unranked matches carry no badge, so a rank bracket means ranked matches only.
Playstyle: the most common trio of 3,200+ soul items by 30:00 was Stamina Mastery, Rapid Recharge, Tankbuster. 981 matches built all three (53% of the sample); 54.7% of them were won. That describes these players, not this exact build, which no one may have followed item for item.
Items: bought by at least 50% of the group; late items are counted among the 373 matches that reached 35:00. If that leaves fewer than 2 late items, the build continues with the group's most-bought late items (at least 30%). Order and times are the group's medians.
Inventory: checked after every purchase with game recipes, observed sales and the observed limits of 12 items and 4 active items.
Ranked Holliday matches by rank in this window: Emissary 947 · Acolyte 880 · Phantom 1,018 · Sentinel 817 · Mystic 789 · Eternus 275 · Ritualist 843 · Oracle 1,085 · Seeker 905 · Ascendant 568 · Initiate 356.
