Top 0 player, lash professional. NEW PATCH <3 I know you're sick of seeing twitch plugs but you can go to twitch.tv/faithexx if you'd like to ask questions
1Early game
Game stage · 8 items · L->R Usually, try and buy alternatives if you need them
Headshot Booster
Actually W lane item in ANY patch. Massive poke when combined with whip.
Extra Spirit
Cheap good spirit early on. You can buy burst instead aswell if you prefer but it can be tricky to hit 80 damage
Mystic Burst
Burst is super nice early. You prefer to use this when you're whipping for extra heal, but any proc is damage.
2Alternativesoptional
Author's category · 3 items
Extra Regen
Still my personal favourite lane healing item. Buy this whenever you are dying in lane too hard.
Rebuttal
Mr Parrylock Special
Slowing Hex
Still my favourite item into Mina / Wraith / Vindicta. Stopping people from using movement abilities will absolutely get you a kill, especially if you notice these characters escaping stupid shit alot
3Core (Mid Game)
Author's category · 8 items · This is the time you should be ganking fights, but make sure to still do waves!!
Restorative Locket
Main buy, I love the stamina you get from this. Replace with reactive / healbane / enchanters
Stamina Mastery
Buy this whenever you feel you need it. I like to prioritise damage upgrades until i feel like i'm getting caught out a lot, though recently I've been buying it more often
Tankbuster
4Alternativesoptional
Author's category · 3 items
Reactive Barrier
Laning someone with stuns? Buy this. (Bebop / Abrams / Krill etc). Buy grit first if you are going down this
Healbane
Buy this into heavy healing
Enchanter's Emblem
Great item if both laners are spirit, or you see 4+ spirit characters in the tab menu.
5Late Game Choices
Author's category · 7 items · When you got crazy money (No specific order, buy judging by counters. Focus on ults, don't be scared to buy greens!)
Boundless Spirit
With the new slam scaling, this is better. Gives consistant spirit power AND a percentile spirit boost. This also scales mystic shot quite massively, which is why I buy it over other spirit items
Mystic Reverb
Imbue on slam. Extra damage + slow is very potent and the lifesteal is actually really solid too. You can replace this item with the choices (if wanted)
6No flex slotsoptional
Author's category · 2 items
Transcendent Cooldown
Built from Superior Cooldown
This is okay, but mainly to fill flex slots. Unless you have more then one or two actives then feel free to delay buying this and invest into spikes
Rapid Recharge
Built from Extra Charge
This isn't great. I'd only buy this if you really can't live with two grapples lategame or if you're REALLY cucked on flex slots
7Anti-Spiritoptional
Author's category · 2 items
Spirit Resilience
I actually think you can make an argument for this item now
Spellbreaker
With the recent changes it makes sense to buy Spirit Resilience over this sometimes, but I generally prefer this overall because of the heavy debuff resist attached
8Anti-Gunoptional
Author's category · 2 items
Metal Skin
Goat anti-gun. Try not to use this when you're running because of the movespeed penalty, use it when you're stuck to the ground for any reason and there's a gun carry looking at you.
Plated Armor
This item's alright, but i'd only buy it if a proc-based gun character is overfarmed (Haze, Infernus ETC.). Otherwise just get metal skin
9Anti-CC + General Survivabilityoptional
Author's category · 7 items · BUY THESE IF YOU'RE DYING (PLEASE)
Counterspell
Amazing item for general use. If you are locked in enough to parry abilities buy it. if there's a lot of hard to parry debuffs just buy dispel magic
Warp Stone
Glorpstone is still an incredible escape item, use it to teleport to rooftops when you're out of stamina when running / get behind cover.

11TESTINGoptional
Author's category · 24 items · STOP LOOKING HERE!!!!!!!! (i usually leave anything annotated here, will probably be outdated!)
Recharging Rush
I like this item a little more than mystic, the movement feels amazing and it just feels a lot more consistent with the map changes.
Spirit Shredder
Instead of mystic
Alchemical Fire
Categories appear in the author's order. Only the editor's default Early, Mid and Late sections are marked as game stages; the author's own categories keep their names. “Built from” links come from the game's item recipes.
| Ground Strike: Ability unlocked, step 1 | Ground Strike: 1 AP upgrade, step 8 | Ground Strike: 2 AP upgrade, step 10 |
Quicksilver Reload
This item is still very solid early, but falls off after lane. It still pairs nicely with the gun items as it lets you reload and keep applying pressure. Sell if needed.
Mystic Expansion
This item really grew on me. Massive whip in lane allows you to pretty much never miss
Extra Charge
I personally use my grapple a fuck ton in lane so I prio this early. You can sell this after reaching T3 Grapple
Mystic Shot
This can be quite tricky to land consistantly, but if you wait until the knock-up from your slam, you basically get a free proc.
Headhunter
Built from Headshot Booster
This just upgrades off headshot booster, I am TIRED of talking about the 4.8k investment but this does give you it.
Built from Mystic Burst
Tankbuster is generally a really good buy, however buying it too early doesn't really give you that much more damage (as their health has not scaled much). Buy if no slots
Superior Cooldown
This item is basically a must if you want sustained damage in teamfights. Cycling your abilities 20% faster is huge and will let you play a lot more agressive
Greater Expansion
Built from Mystic Expansion
Struggling to land ults? This helps massively. You can absolutely go without it but it does give you a LOT more range on it.
Spirit Burn
This item is STILL GOOD
Magic Carpet
Unironically my favourite item for lash right now. -15% gravity means you can walljump at height limit PERMANENTLY, which means you can wait and hit a max distance slam EVERY TIME.
Refresher
More lash ults = good. Core to being a strong lategame player, land those ults! Feel free to buy much earlier if you're having a rough game. Just pivot to being an ultbot and you'll be fine.
Unstoppable
"I keep getting stunned out of my ult by one guy and im really fucked off about it". PLEASE start buying this if you are getting stunned! I know it's not flashy but it is NECESSARY some games
Siphon Bullets
Even though gun lash & greens got nerfed, this is still a very solid buy. If the enemy team has a lot of characters with high hp (4k+), you get crazy value
Crippling Headshot
Lowers armours. Good if the enemy has a lot of resistances. Also gives you more gun spike, which is crazy rn
Focus Lens
Simply better than curse for lash. This builds off Spirit Sap so I would upgrade that if you can. You can sell slowing hex for this if you still need anti (ability) movement lategame
Mercurial Magnum
Built from Quicksilver Reload
If you want an excuse to keep QSR but you need an upgrade for slots here it is. Imbue on 3.
Majestic Leap
Still my favourite roaming tool after all these patches. This allows you to change lanes incredibly quickly, but sacrifices the survivability of glorpstone
Grit
This is very good if you're already buying reactive
Trophy Collector
This is good if you're REALLY stomping
Dispel Magic
Insane Item. I sometimes prefer counterspell but if they're slowing hex'ing you or hitting you with capacitor, this is an absolute MUST buy. PLEASE buy this item if you need it
Indomitable
Built from Reactive Barrier
I would really just buy unstoppable. I know a few people who prefer this but generally dispel magic / unstoppable covers me
Metaslop
Ballistic Enchantment
Built from Mystic Expansion
This item gotta be good on whip, buffed too
Lucky Shot
idk man add a billion damage
Silencer
REMOVE abilities
Spirit Rend
Built from Spirit Shredder
kinda crazy if they got a lot of resistance. Just keep headshotting
Juggernaut
Actually incredibly good if you're winning. Makes diving in a lot less risky and you end up being a powerhouse if you get this + Remover
Cultist Sacrifice
This is an alternative to Trophy collector. If you can't get stacks on trophy buy this. Gives you the health and movespeed but sacrifices the free souls
Sprint Boots
Read trophy hunter. Only buy if you're running it
Spirit Lifesteal
Builds into infuser
Debuff Reducer
Builds into spellbreaker
Extra Stamina
stamina type shit (upgrades into stamina mastery)
Cold Front
Still good. It can feel like it's doing nothing sometimes but when you start landing it multiple times you'll be thankful you have it. Slam -> Cold Front -> Whip is your combo
Compress Cooldown
Imbue whatever you use most. 1, 2, 3, and 4 all valid
Toxic Bullets
There was a time where I would run this over headhunter, but I find that the nerfs were pretty brutal to it
Bullet Resilience
Metal skin is better
Cursed Relic
Fun item. Buy if one person is really pissing you off or you really just dont like someone that day
Infuser
Built from Spirit Lifesteal
Still very strong for healing. Hit this button then slam and whip and you are full HP.
Arctic Blast
Built from Cold Front
Really nice item for followups. Locks them in place so with your slam -> whip -> Arctic combo you can get most people killed in a teamfight.
Fortitude
This item is actually fine now but I want to take a moment out of my time to realise that I have been updating this build for months but it was on the wrong one.. oops..
Silence Wave
Doesnt build from sap anymore, going in the bin unless you really like silence wave
Spellslinger
The lash gun meta is real and you cant deny its presence. Buy this if they dont have resistances (unlikely) and crippling isnt your thing
Spirit Sap
If you're laning early and you see both laners buy resist, this is worth getting. This also builds into Focus Lens now, which makes it very viable to keep into lategame, because lens is good :)
