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
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
Sprint Boots
Upgrade this to Enduring Speed earlier if vs certain characters with lots of slows, such as Kelvin.
- 4
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
- 5
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
- 6
Extra Spirit
Sell if you do not need it for Tankbuster, if you need the slot, sell it and delay tankbuster upgrade
- 7
Healbane
- 8
Guardian Ward
Buffed item, pretty solid uses.

Torment Pulse

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.

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
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.

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
Duration Extender
- 3
Superior Duration
Built from Duration Extender
Great item that synergyzes with Burrow, Combo and Scourge. This is a Defensive and Offensive Spike.

Spirit Resilience

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

- 1
Metal Skin
- 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
Phantom Strike
A good item to buy the enemies are playing outside of Warp Stone+Dash Range constantly

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
Improved Spirit
Built from Extra Spirit
- 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
