Len's Ivy Bomber

Author's notes

I always knew Spirt Ivy was gonna be meta someday, I never gave up - use this to be an absolute menace late game, get's better as the game goes on. Manage your Kudzu cooldown carefully so you always have a couple for a fight. They're great for camps and waves but try not to run out - better that you farm slower and fight well when needed. Clear skies ahead pilot, go get em!

      Trophy Collector

      Ok I think cheap Trophy collector is gonna go crazy tbh, but replace with a 1.6K green of your choice

   2. 2

      Healing Nova

      Very effective on Ivy because you share healing, but check below sections for more situation stuff that might be better

3. 3Mid Core

   Author's category · 4 items · No order you have to follow

   1. 1

      Rapid Recharge

      Built from Extra Charge

      If you have 2.4K before this point feel free to grab before one of the 1.6K purples

   2. 2

      Compress Cooldown

      You can prioritise this if you're always out of Kudzus (but also save them more) - can delay/skip for Recharging Rush IF you're particularly good with aim

   3. 3

      Slowing Hex

4. 4Late Core

   1. 1

      Alchemical Fire

      Really useful - I try to pick this up in any game I can, but if you're slot locked not always possible

   2. 2

      Greater Expansion

      Built from Mystic Expansion

      Particularly good once you have the AOE actives

   3. 3

      Superior Cooldown

      Built from Compress Cooldown

5. 5End Game

   Author's category · 6 items · L -> R for prio, but get what you need

   1. 1

      Spirit Burn

      Get first (or even rush) if you're struggling to out damage the healing on their team, or they just have tons of it

   2. 2

      Transcendent Cooldown

      Built from Superior Cooldown

      This can be bought whenever really, but I think after V Web or Spirit Burn is fine, earlier if you have lots of optional actives

   3. 3

      Lightning Scroll

6. 6Good Optionsoptional

   1. 1

      Suppressor

      Good for games with 2+ bullet guys

   2. 2

      Silence Wave

      Great when they built Indomitable, or just for spirit heavy teams

7. 7Instead of Trophy & Nova (or as well, but careful for slot management)optional

   1. 1

      Reactive Barrier

      Great item if you're in a lane that procs it [Bebop, Abrams, Paige, Haze, Vindicta, Mirage, etc.]

   2. 2

      Healbane

      Good in most games [Geist, Mo & Krill, Dynamo, Kelvin, Calico, Abrams, Infernus, Pocket, Lash] can be sold for Spirit Burn if you have other greens - replace with alternative if you like

   3. 3

8. 8Counters & Other Optionsoptional

   Author's category · 6 items

   1. 1

      Knockdown

      Needed against [Vindicta, Grey Talon, Seven and Ult Bebop], fairly good for [Lash, Dynamo] - fine in other games

   2. 2

      Cursed Relic

      If one person on their team has all the souls, buy this

   3. 3

      Divine Barrier

      Got a nice buff and I feel worth considering now if you wanted to be supportive - amazing against [Pocket, Infernus, Haze, Abrams]

9. 9Gunsoptional

   Author's category · 2 items

   1. 1

      Recharging Rush

      Great value if you're confident you can proc - I'm not without Titanic Mag and with both it's tough on slots - can skip Improved and Boundless spirit if you want this to go harder into CC

   2. 2

      Ballistic Enchantment

      Built from Mystic Expansion

      Love this item but you don't usually have slots spare - you have to be willing to go without 4.8k green (risky) or skip a purple

10. 10Lane Regen & Egg?optional

    Author's category · 4 items

    1. 1

       Extra Regen

       Best pure regen if you're not keen on hiding and don't care about 4.8k efficiency

    2. 2

       Healing Rite

       If you or your lane partner are low (like under 200hp) and you're happy to hide for 30 seconds

    3. 3

       Restorative Shot

       Technically the best regen, personally find it more stressful to use and therefore distracting

11. 11Bullet Defenceoptional

    Author's category · 4 items

    1. 1

       Weapon Shielding

       If you just get burst down and can't seem to avoid it

    2. 2

       Bullet Resilience

       Really not a fan of this, but into 4-5 bullet carries then sure the pure stats are OK - just makes sure the damage isn't coming from on-hit mostly

    3. 3

       Juggernaut

       Best item here - particularly good paired with Bullet Resillience if you're still dying - also weirdly good against melee damage?

12. 12Spirit Defenceoptional

    Author's category · 4 items

    1. 1

       Spirit Shielding

       If you just get burst down and can't seem to avoid it

    2. 2

       Spellbreaker

       Buy for [Lash, Grey Talon] or other huge burst damage, or if you need more Debuff Resist

    3. 3

       Witchmail

       Against the right comp this is really strong - don't buy unless you know what you're doing
