reject flog, return to pushing people into the concrete. GROUND STRIKE BUFFED FLOG-CHUDS MALDING

Item categories

1Lane
Author's category · 9 items · Buy L > R, if getting fed hard can buy Trophy Collecter or Cold Front early to push lead.
1. 1
  Extra Spirit
  Gives ~40+ damage on a good slam. Practically Mystic Burst but always.
2. 2
  Mystic Burst
  Helpful when healing in lane with Flog and just supplementary damage. Practically Extra Spirit but only sometimes.
3. 3
  Improved Spirit
  Built from Extra Spirit
  ~30+ damage on your slam. Also gives OOC Regen so you can grab boxes and whatnot.
4. 4
  Extra Charge
  Allows you to chase somebody with grapple and escape with Grapple after flattening them.
5. 5
  Cold Front
  Move speed reduction between Cold Front and Ground Strike T2 locks people down. Also just deals a lot of damage + 4.8k powerspike.
6. 6
  Extra Stamina
  Shouldn't have to tell a Lash that Stamina is good.
7. 7
  Sprint Boots
  Allows more travel between waves for things like buffs and boxes. If you are winning the lane, can buy early to push wave and grab many boxes.
8. 8
  Trophy Collector
  Built from Sprint Boots
  I personally buy this for the sprint speed. Allows crazy fast rotations to get your hands in as many fights as possible. Also range. Sell this when you have bought everything else and need a slot.
9. 9
  Compress Cooldown
  Lets you solo-ult people more often.

1. 1
  Healing Rite
  If you are in a situation where you need to resort to Healing Rite, please refer to the guide on the right.
2. 2
  Restorative Shot
  50 health every 6 seconds is pretty crazy. Can be confirmed during a slam to make trade even better. Although let it be known I haven't bought this once.
3. 3
  Extra Regen
3OFFICIAL GUIDE TO WINNING IN NIGHTMARE LANESoptional
Author's category · 1 items
1. 1
  Golden Goose Egg
  If your Ground Strikes aren't positive, buy THIS first. Buy Sprint Boots 2nd and farm boxes between waves, then TC to gank other lanes, then L > R. I usually sell
4Punish those who've yet to buy Vitality
Author's category · 10 items · This is your element. Your T5 Ground Strike deals enormous damage at this point. Be prepared to swoop in and help in fights you see break out. You ARE able to help. Get some Trophy stacks to push your lead and make some money.
1. 1
  Majestic Leap
  Gets you into the exact position you want while also being fun. Later on you can Ground Strike a wave somebody is pushing and Majestic Leap out uncontested.
2. 2
  Tankbuster
  Built from Mystic Burst
  Remove 8% of their healthbar.
3. 3
5Do you not like Someone?optional
Author's category · 1 items
1. 1
  Disarming Hex
  Gun characters can usually hit you harder than spirit. Turn them off completely! Catch them by themselves and watch your team devour them alive instead of the opposite!
6Duration
Author's category · 3 items · Lash's kit has a lot of small benefits from duration, but Death Slam & Arctic Blast get the most. Buy one w/ an item that benefits e.g. Cheat Death / Disarming Hex.
1. 1
  Superior Duration
  Allows for a LONG stun with the combo of T5 Death Slam & Arctic Blast. Cheaper, but you get less of the utility that comes with Magic Carpet or Diviner's Kevlar.
2. 2
  Magic Carpet
  6.4k souls to become Celeste is a pretty good deal. Allows for much faster movement across the map and more value from Stamina, Grapple, and Majestic Leap. I use it to enter a fight from the skybox.
3. 3
7How To Not Dieoptional
Author's category · 2 items · Options for being able to leave a fight unscathed.
1. 1
  Cheat Death
  Dying in endgame usually means that you lose, so don't! You are more mobile than everyone else with extended Grapple range and free stamina to escape in 5+ seconds. **Buy with Duration**
2. 2
  Unstoppable
  Too many Slowing Hexes at 10 minutes? I like to buy Debuff Reducer if there are multiple enemies with Slowing Hex. It can be built into this for escaping or guaranteeing Death Slams w/ Duration buffs.
8Might not buyoptional
Author's category · 9 items · Stuff I basically never buy.
1. 1
  Refresher
  Should only be buying if you are destroying their Patron or they are destroying yours.
2. 2
  Lightning Scroll
  Mystic Slow is pretty funny, but at this point it may not matter much. Could be alright if you're pure ult-bot.
3. 3
  Silence Wave
  idk buy it if you want I never have. Usually used to prevent escapes, but you can just chase them down.
