Recharging Rush
luxury, if slots are bad skip this unless HYPER mobile enemy team

your entire hero is based on taking isolated fights, with a ton of alt fire/melee dmg and fire rate slows, this item is amazing for that

Metal Skin
Berserker
Dispel Magic
Warp Stone
Spirit Resilience
Refresher
One of your best late game items, having 2 ults to swing important fights is super beneficial
Transcendent Cooldown
do you have a lot of important items with cooldowns? buy this.
Diviner's Kevlar
can buy when you have max ult for al ot more tankiness
Siphon Bullets
Plated Armor
against gun heroes reliant on build ups like toxic, fixation, and siphon
Witchmail
against consistent procs of spirit dmg that dont really kill you
Indomitable
Built from Reactive Barrier
item is VERY strong against certain comps but terrible against others. usually use against very strong, unreactable cc but be weary of other small cc proccing and wasting cd
Spellbreaker
fantastic against very spirit bursty teams like lash and grey talon, especially if their team has a lot of debuffs as well
Phantom Strike
generally dont need because of max 2, but in games where you max 3 + 4 and still need to shut down a flier/m1 can be great
Ethereal Shift
if youre getting hate crimed by things like solo kelvin domes or mina ult on repeat can be an escape
Boundless Spirit
i lowk think this might stil be better than reverb? unsure
Spirit Burn
great anti heal, can replace healbane
Escalating Exposure
against very tanky heroes almost always AFTER spirit burn to get most amp
Focus Lens
if they have no remover can be used to focus down a target reliant on abilities
Crippling Headshot
the more hybridy the more value, cut resists and heals p easily
Infuser
can be useful for tons of heals if youre in big team fights and slashing multiple people
Spellslinger
Point Blank
Frenzy
Inhibitor
Tankbuster
very strong against super tanky high spirit res teams, compliements reverb very well
