   Author's category · 5 items · First buys - Left to Right - Focusing lane core

   1. 1

      Mystic Burst

      You can proc this right away with T1 Scorn. Makes your Scorn heal hard try to hit as many targets at once with it.

   2. 2

      Quicksilver Reload

      Even more healing and damage just like Mystic Burst. The second you get this you can start making aggressive health trades.

   3. 3

      Extra Spirit

      Filler for 4.8k spirit spike, extra damage overall. Sell when you need a slot.

   4. 4

2. 2Lane Counter-Buysoptional

   Author's category · 6 items · Read annotations of optional sections to learn

   1. 1

      Monster Rounds

      Great item for if getting poked out while clearing waves and for tower diving. Buy first item if getting attacked super hard in lane and stuck behind shop.

   2. 2

      Rebuttal

      Great if they are punch heavy players, or for Viscous Punches. Good for baiting parries too.

   3. 3

      Reactive Barrier

3. 3Mid game

   Game stage · 7 items · Second buys - Left to Right - Focusing spikes - Get an armor at the end of this section

   1. 1

      Fortitude

      Good perma-roam on map since there's so much farm everywhere, and the extra hp is not remiss.

   2. 2

      Torment Pulse

      Large source of your damage and helps with farm, lane clear, and tick dmg overall.

   3. 3

      Healbane

      Good if you just need a cheap antiheal and if no one else is buying it its good to get since they dont stack with other Healbanes.

4. 4Late game

   Game stage · 5 items · Third buys - Any order - YOU SHOULD HAVE 2 ARMORS EVENTUALLY

   1. 1

      Phantom Strike

      Instant gap closer and a disarm, perfect for fliers/Lash/Celeste/Holliday since it has crazy range.

   2. 2

      Spirit Burn

      Late game you're able to proc this with just a Burrow & Scorn so this is your strong antiheal and great for group burrow hits. Works best with Escalating Exposure.

   3. 3

      Scourge

      AMAZING active item that gives huge spirit resist, and more AOE damage. Kind of presses you for active slots but well worth it for the extra percentage-based damage.

5. 5Armoroptional

   Author's category · 5 items · Typically you should have two or more of these by end game

   1. 1

      Spirit Resilience

      Check Incoming damage and if mostly Spirit, buy this. Keep in mind that Spirit Shielding is a lot of shield on its own. Enchanter's Emblem is a cheaper alternative.

   2. 2

      Metal Skin

      Good counter to one really oppressive gun hero, get Return Fire too if you have active slots.

   3. 3

      Plated Armor

6. 6Counter Itemsoptional

   Author's category · 6 items · You can ignore the optional sections if you just want a quick build

   1. 1

      Dispel Magic

      Good item but you're so desperate for Active Slots it's hard to use sometimes, but some games it's just necessary to get.

   2. 2

      Juggernaut

      Great counter buy to gun heroes and melee spammers, but on its own won't protect you. AMAZING into Ricochet users.

   3. 3

      Colossus

7. 7Testingoptional

   Author's category · 9 items · Keep in mind these are just really uncommon buys, only buy if you know what you're doing | discord: thefalconwarrior for any questions

   1. 1

      Alchemical Fire

      Good for more damage on towers, and for defending a lane or teamfights, but you are already good at defending lanes.

   2. 2

      Warp Stone

      The best movement item in the game in my opinion. Short cooldown, instant teleport, and bullet resist.

   3. 3

8. 8Evil Buttonoptional

   1. 1

      Cursed Relic

      Really op item for Mo & Krill since it's just another shutdown, and the damage penalty is basically forgettable as long as you use it after you've used your kit.
