   Author's category · 11 items · 13K=Maxed Ult (normally)

   1. 1

      Mystic Regeneration

      To have good sustain on lane and match spirit investment, can skip for faster Healbane tough

   2. 2

      Mystic Burst

   3. 3

      Healbane

      Saves your life and not once. Sell later for better antiheal or lifesteal if teammates has better antiheal or skip if no enemy has no heal

3. 3Misc. Itemsoptional

   Author's category · 15 items · REMEMBER, on main path there are almost no counter items, you NEED to buy something else

   1. 1

      Recharging Rush

      if you will use all knifes precisely, item will reload already, increasing knife capacity to practically 2 knifes atleast

   2. 2

      Mystic Shot

      Just really good poke item (can be switched with another T2 item)

   3. 3

      Melee Charge

4. 4Armorsoptional

   Author's category · 4 items

   1. 1

      Bullet Resilience

      very situational item. Gun heroes have low start and not as strong as spirit heroes in mid game, and in late Plated Armor is must have

   2. 2

      Spirit Resilience

   3. 3

      Plated Armor

      This item counters almost all gun-reliant heroes (even Seven and Infernus). For some reason, not Wraith's Auto-fire

   1. 1

      Spirit Lifesteal

      Can skip

      If you want to transfer to knifes - max knifes first (imbue all items to knifes)

   3. 3

      Leech

      Built from Spirit Lifesteal

      can get crazy CONSISTENT sustain, if you don't need better buy Spiritual Overflow, Infuser or Mystic Reverb

6. 6Situational Items for Early-Mid gameoptional

   Author's category · 12 items

      Toxic Bullets

      good against tanks with alot of hp (Healbane is still better as antiheal)

      Heroic Aura

      Better for team, worse for you (than other Gun items)

   3. 3

      Return Fire

   4. 4

      Hear me out. This is really good item

   3. 3

      Stamina Mastery

      Spirit Shredder

      Interesting for heal maxing. Instead of Mystic Shot

    1. 1

       Guardian Ward

       Check out my Street Cleaner Shiv Build. Just for fun, it is off-meta and will not try to be

    2. 2

       Battle Vest

       resists have better fallof in game but they are worse than barriers at the start

    3. 3

       Restorative Locket

11. 11Curiosity Catalogoptional

    Author's category · 9 items

    1. 1

       Rusted Barrel

       This is huge debuff for sure, and bullet resist is also good because gun without items falloffs not that hard in early game

    2. 2

       Duration Extender

    3. 3

       Compress Cooldown

       Knifes are very hungry at CD, while Dash is main damage ability if you follow main build
