Titanic Magazine
Built from Extended Magazine
I NEED MORE BOOLETS! (increases your weapon damage per mag by 150%. Very good wave clear, extra jungling, and poke damage.)
Enchanter's Emblem
improved spirit but its a lettuce wrap (more survivability and best cheap green for minmaxing spirit power)

Arctic Blast
Built from Cold Front
I SAID FREEZE (keep people in thorns longer and sets up ults, more jungle clear, low cd, and stamina freeze make it really good, start fighting a lot when you have this)
Alchemical Fire
lingering splash potion of harm (very good damage for ult combo, farming t3 camps, or taking objectives. gives you 4.8k gun investment spike)

Author's category · 5 items · stat upgrades: think about what you need in the moment and take it. Focus these if you dont have a lot of money.
Greater Expansion
Built from Mystic Expansion
beeeeeeeeeeg everything (helps reach more people with web + confirm combo with stone form easier)
Superior Duration
Built from Duration Extender
loooong everything (longer abilities means more damage and stronger stuns/silences)
5buhFlipExplodeoptional

Indomitable
nice curse/knockdown/arctic blast/silence wave/silencer/focus lens/lightning scroll/vortex web/cc ability you got there. thanks for the -20% cd and giant barrier.
Scourge
league of legends player aura (extra tankiness, can self cast or put on frontliner after ulting them, damage is just alright now until you have lot of spirit power)

8Testing :3optional
Author's category · 5 items · Items that have potential maybe but could be bad maybe idk
Mystic Shot
decent extra poke damage that scales pretty well up to late game
Torment Pulse
ok extra damage output, only good if you're playing on top of enemies for whole fight
Decay
focused anti heal + damage for tanks, use while chasing someone down, not on someone you're comboing
9guhoptional
Author's category · 15 items · the side plot to the main questline (slightly less valuable options to swap out for something above, the choice is yours)
Monster Rounds
shoot da minions (if you want to clear waves faster or play under enemy tower more)
Headshot Booster
put their head in the box and shoot :D (extra lane damage, only buy if you plan on upgrading to headhunter)
Stalker
10Combo : Alc Fire > Thorns > Vortex Web > Arctic Blast > Stone Form. Ult bomb is auto dropped by casting stone form so use that to save a mouse click. If the enemy has indom, drop your ult bomb before the vortex web to trigger it. I like using quick cast for thorns so you can drop it fast but still hold it if you need to place it precisely. Ult cast mode doesnt matter too much and for items you want instant cast. Once you have spirit burn, you are pretty much guaranteed a kill if your target doesnt have essential counters (dispel + warp, counterspell, or eshift. Once people start buying these, you can try to bait them into using it by swooping down and only throwing thorns. Build might look really weird at some points when Im testing lots of newer ideas. Everything in here is what I believe is optimal for the build. 10/5 Build Update: Still tempo meta, but you can still jungle very well with new map. You wanna get your 4.8k spirit investment then farm for arctic blast, you should aim to have it for first rift fight. Afterwards, you wanna try to stay active and get kills whenever you can, making sure your ult is up for any major objectives, mainly patron, mid boss, and rift. Ult is still good for walker diving if no other objectives are available, just make sure you aren't dropping your teammate into a walker slam xdd. Gonna be messing around with items a lot more to find if theres any crazy sleeper picks I didnt think of before. We shall see.

Rusted Barrel
with a little rusteze, you too can look like me (very good stats, lets you take way better trades in lane, can skip if not in heavy gun lane)
Recharging Rush
kinda hard to proc unless you're playing super aggro or hit a heavy melee, but really good if you can consistently proc it
Heroic Aura
