   Author's category · 11 items · Follow and/or Subscribe at twitch.tv/pnperplexity

   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

      Grit

   4. 4

      Torment Pulse

   5. 5

      Sprint Boots

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

   6. 6

      Trophy Collector

      Built from Sprint Boots

      Sell if you need a slot late game, it does feel bad to lose the movespeed so I usually sell it for Enduring Speed and Juggernaut

   7. 7

      Spirit Shielding

      Built from Grit

   8. 8

      Healbane

   9. 9

      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)

   10. 10

       Duration Extender

   11. 11

       Warp Stone

       This is Mo's best movement item in my opinion. You can use warp stone while burrowed to get on top of 1-story buildings and ridges. This expands Mo's getaway angles exponentially.

2. 2Core Stuff

   Author's category · 7 items · Upgrade Items before selling anything. Can buy Scourge or Witchmail earlier if you end up with 6.4k

   1. 1

      Superior Cooldown

      Built from Compress Cooldown

      Great item, lowers all ability cooldowns. You should have this around the time you max Scorn for a huge spike.

   2. 2

      Superior Duration

      Built from Duration Extender

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

   3. 3

3. 3Early Optionaloptional

   Author's category · 2 items

   1. 1

      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.

   2. 2

      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.

4. 4Late Game Common Optionsoptional

   Author's category · 12 items · Sell Healbane and/or Quicksilver Reload for extra late game items

   1. 1

      Unstoppable

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

   2. 2

      Debuff Reducer

   3. 3

      Dispel Magic

      Almost always a buy. Necessary vs Knockdowns, Decays, Seven 2, Infernus, Knife Shiv, Mirage, Haze, etc.

5. 5Vit Itemsoptional

   Author's category · 12 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. 6Category 6optional

   Author's category · 2 items

   1. 1

      Cold Front

      Use while burrowed to set up for your unburrow, or just use it while spinning. Use on tier 1 camps with Scorn to clear them instantly

   2. 2

      Extra Spirit

      Sell if you do not need it for Tankbuster, if you need the slot, sell it and delay tankbuster upgrade
