   1. 1

      Mystic Burst

      Also adds hundreds of healing to each Scorn, but only when Scorn has 2 upgrades. Your second sold item if you need slots

   2. 2

      Quicksilver Reload

      Adds hundreds of healing to each Scorn. Rush this before Monster Rounds if you are healthy enough to save. Start trying to Scorn the enemies as much as possible.

   3. 3

      Sprint Boots

      Upgrade this to Enduring Speed earlier if vs certain characters with lots of slows, such as Kelvin.

   4. 4

2. 2Early Optionaloptional

   1. 1

      Rebuttal

      Pretty much a guaranteed kill if you parry bait someone, but will only work once per person at most. Beyond that, melee resist feels very good since the burrow nerf.

   2. 2

      Return Fire

      Don't let the cost of the item bait you, this is a late game counter item to teams with many M1's. Should use while burrowed or while ulting. Having resistances makes this item better.

3. 3Early Optional

   Author's category · 9 items

   1. 1

      Compress Cooldown

      Since you are buying Superior CD next, might as well put this on the ability you will use the most in between. Will -20 seconds on ult if full CD(dimishing depending on % CD)

   2. 2

      Duration Extender

   3. 3

      Superior Duration

      Built from Duration Extender

      Great item that synergyzes with Burrow, Combo and Scourge. This is a Defensive and Offensive Spike.

4. 4Late Game Common Optionsoptional

   Author's category · 11 items · Sell Healbane and/or Quicksilver Reload for extra late game items

   1. 1

      Spirit Resilience

   2. 2

      Unstoppable

      A good counter item to Dynamo if he keeps ulting your team. Very strong combo item with Cheat Death.

   3. 3

      Debuff Reducer

   4. 4

5. 5Vit Itemsoptional

   Author's category · 10 items · Left to right, more common to less common

   1. 1

      Metal Skin

   2. 2

      Diviner's Kevlar

      An item to buy if you are weaker and want your ults to be better. Cheaper, but worse, than getting Unstoppable and Cheat Death

   3. 3

      Phantom Strike

      A good item to buy the enemies are playing outside of Warp Stone+Dash Range constantly

6. 6Situationaloptional

   Author's category · 29 items · Left to right, more common to less common

   1. 1

      Enduring Speed

      Built from Sprint Boots

      Can buy this sooner if vs many slows (Kelvin, Viscous, etc.) Or if it helps you secure Unsecured Souls before a fight

   2. 2

      Improved Spirit

      Built from Extra Spirit

   3. 3

      Fortitude

      Still good some games while ahead, allows you to stay on map and continue pressuring. Not great when behind since you are more likely to be close to base anyways
