StakeStake | Stake: Ability unlocked, step 4 | Stake: 1 AP upgrade, step 9 | Stake: 2 AP upgrade, step 12 |
|---|
Bullet Lifesteal
get before blood tribute
Sharpshooter
Built from Long Range
The most op item for vindicta rn. Almost always proccing the Passive and also gives bullet velocity now
Heroic Aura
I feel like this item may just be a better fleetfoot, but who knows.
Vampiric Burst
Built from Bullet Lifesteal
Reload your bullets. And infinite bullet lifesteal.
Lightning Scroll
Built from Mystic Slow
Only get if you have mystic slow. Can allow for cc's so easy shots, force out dispel(rarely), and if you feel useless then this does something. Can skip and sell mystic slow.
Mercurial Magnum
Built from Quicksilver Reload
First late game buy. resets ammo and more fire rate
Spirit Resilience
Against heavy spirit comps. I hate yamato.
Divine Barrier
pocket ult. and other ult debuffs.
Plated Armor
Amazing late-game gun resist. also pay attention to enemies having APR
Spellbreaker
Stops you from exploding from spirit damage. doorman, yamato, etc.
Ethereal Shift
Be careful cuz you will lose flight during this. Lets you dodge mina ult and survive for a little longer.
Even more lifesteal and great stats. Stops blood tribute from doing too much
Juggernaut
Built from Enduring Speed
Upgrade from enduring speed if you still have it. If you like being able to move around in flight then this is a fun item
Ricochet
usually an add-on with silencer but its to get wave cleared fast and hit the whole enemy team
Armor Piercer
This or CH. This against 2+ plated armor
Lucky Shot
MORE DAMAGE
Unstoppable
A LOT OF CC. phantom strike.
Indomitable
Upgrade from reactive barrier. Even more cc.
Inhibitor
Idk why you would get this, but if you really need to shutdown an enemy carry then go for it
Boundless Spirit
if you NEED more spirit damage.
Rebuttal
you dont usually want this cuz you're up front but just in case.
Reactive Barrier
Built from Grit
early game cc help
Healbane
early game anti-heal
Suppressor
Gun heavy lanes. Especially drifter and venator. sell for slot
Bullet Resist Shredder
If you want to have more shred for 1.6k rather than supportive item. sell for slot
Spirit Shielding
Built from Grit
this or enchanters emblem against spirit laners
Enchanter's Emblem
Against spirit. Also just really good alternative for enduring speed.
spirit shred but usually you're on gun so more of a spirit item ig.
Echo Shard
I heard this on flight was fun but it doesn't seem viable for how much it costs.
Siphon Bullets
This + Healing Tempo. Since you're already insane fire rate imagine the healing, fire rate, and movespeed you get with this combo.
Healing Tempo
This + Siphon Bullets. Cool lil item with an insane passive that procs on siphon bullets.
Rescue Beam
Built from Healing Rite
I saw someone use this once and it looks funny.
Ballistic Enchantment
This item may be insane since crows ricochet
Fury Trance
Built from Bullet Lifesteal
This item may be better than blood tribute
