BOMBING IT

Extra Regen

Worse than the other lane healing items imo. Plus if you're getting Lifestrike it's useless.

Grit

Testing this! It's probably really nice for trades.

Lifestrike

Built from Melee Lifesteal

So much fun. Use off CD with heavy melee in lane for a 100 health heal on a 4 sec CD. Lets you permafight/push in lane. Slow is super good as well.

Fortitude

Built from Extra Health

The health is great for survivability, the move speed is great for rotating, and the heal lets you stay on the map longer. I prefer this over VW cause it works in the tunnels. Or go Dispel Magic here.

Compress Cooldown

You can put this on your 2 or your 4, depends on what you want. 2 is better for snowballing, 4 is better for being able to fight more.

Superior Cooldown

Built from Compress Cooldown

Cooldown reduction is really useful. Gives you way more uptime.

Scourge

Usually after Arctic Blast. Makes you really tanky and can do a lot of damage if you get into the middle of their team. You can rush earlier if you feel it would be good or have the money.

Metal Skin

This since it got buffed is actually kinda really good against some characters, especially Haze and Drifter. I'd get this as an alternative to Bullet Resilience or Plated Armor. Good with trans CD

Veil Walker

Alternative to Fortitude. Nice for rotating around the map, ganking, escaping/survivability, and the heal is great. At the moment I don't like this too much since it doesn't work in the tunnels.

Enchanter's Emblem

Great for more spirit resist early. Cooldown reduction is really rare so this is a great item since it gives you some.

Restorative Locket

10% spirit resist for 1.6k and the health and the stamina is really nice.

Spirit Shielding

Built from Grit

Great against spirit damage. You can get in some lanes.

Reactive Barrier

Built from Grit

Great item and good in many lanes. And late game has good spirit scaling, and ends up being like a 500+ barrier.

Healbane

Easy to proc anti-heal. The heal on kill is also really great during midgame fights.

Silence Wave

Good item. Very common buy. Silence is very good against many characters and since it's an AoE it can hit many people in a teamfight.

Suppressor

Great at stopping gun carries. Easy to proc and can proc on many people.

Slowing Hex

MURDER MURDER MURDER

Spirit Sap

Builds into Focus Lens, easy to use and great for 1v1s. Makes your burst stronger.

Point Blank

Built from Close Quarters

Feels pretty good. It is now fixed for your 2! Difficult on slots though. Good for melee resist if you need that.

Shadow Weave

Built from Sprint Boots

I think the stats from this are really good. The invisibility is bugged with cat form I think though, so just be wary of that.

Knockdown

If no one else on your team is going to buy this and you really need to stop a Vindicta/GT or Seven ult.

Decay

I don't think this is really all that worth it compared to just getting Healbane. Since any person incredibly reliant on healing will just get Debuff Remover. But maybe get against Mo or Abrams.

Phantom Strike

Good for shutting down fliers and gun carries. And for getting on top of the people you need to target in team fights.

Rusted Barrel

Disarming Hex

Built from Rusted Barrel

Heroic Aura

Crippling Headshot

Best item in the game for damage as it shreds resists so your entire team will do more damage. And anti-heal is so good.

Mystic Vulnerability

Upgrades into Escalating Exposure. Spirit shred is extremely useful.

Escalating Exposure

Built from Mystic Vulnerability

This with Scourge is insane. You run into the middle of the enemy team with Scourge and they take like 2-4k damage. Also has shred and gives you even more spirit resist so you're even tankier.

Juggernaut

Built from Enduring Speed

Great against gun carries and is good to pick up if you have no free slots.

Boundless Spirit

Gives you some much needed damage in the late game with your ult and gloom bombs. Great if you are trying to oneshot their carries.

Spirit Burn

Anti-heal + more burst damage. If you need to burst carries this is really useful.

Focus Lens

Built from Spirit Sap

It's fine, good with your burst and the silence is nice.

Witchmail

Kind of a meme item. Very situational. Only get against lots of incremental spirit damage (McGinnis turrets, Infernus, Warden Ult) and have Spirit Resilience already.

Siphon Bullets

Might be quite nice against tanks if you've gone into more gun late game.

Indomitable

Built from Reactive Barrier

Probably bad compared to Unstoppable or Counterspell.

Cheat Death

If you are actually like the only player on your team doing anything and you have like 65k souls you could get this.

Stamina Mastery

fun item, good value, mmm mmmmovement. You could buy this in the mid game some time rather than getting resists perhaps.

Warp Stone

Good for movement and the bullet resist is nice.

Cursed Relic

If you really need to screw over someone in particular.

Mystic Slow

Just feels really nice, makes it super easy to hit your ults second/end damage burst. Probably also nice against like Vyper.

Improved Spirit

Decent. There are better items.

Mystic Burst

Your bombs can't really proc this anymore. So you can only proc it with Cold Front/Arctic Blast and your ult.

Battle Vest

The bullet resist and regen is great in lane. Later though you should just get Bullet Resilience. Also good for farming denizens.

Return Fire

Decent item against certain gun carries.

Weapon Shielding

Built from Grit

It's nice, but I just prefer to go Return Fire or Suppressor or rush Bullet Resilience early.

Debuff Reducer

Good if you need debuff reduction and are going to build Spellbreaker later (good if they have heavy spirit burst such as Grey Talon or Lash).

Spiritual Overflow

If you're going more into gun later then this might be good.

Spirit Rend

Another option for your 4.8k weapon spike.

Cultist Sacrifice

Possible item for your 4.8k Weapon Investment, but imo it's not that necessary on Calico.

Fleetfoot

Not as good since the speed stacking nerf. I still like it though. Good for movespeed in ult and catform. Combine with a 3.2k weapon item to get your 4.8k investment spike.

Monster Rounds

Builds into cultist sac.
