Item categories

1. 1Lane

   Author's category · 5 items · can swap extra spirit and burst but usually L -> R

   1. 1

      Mystic Burst

      doesn't proc on either ability by default, flog needs spirit slam needs some distance

   2. 2

      Extra Spirit

      spirit good

   3. 3

      Extra Charge

      2nd charge for grapple means getting out after slamming is easier, sell this late game now since we get a second charge at max rank

   4. 4

      Improved Spirit

      Built from Extra Spirit

      more spiriter gooder

   5. 5

      Quicksilver Reload

      can be replaced with cold front but I'm liking quicksilver right now, free reload helps you clean up kills on rotations

2. 2Optional Laneoptional

   1. 1

      Headshot Booster

      can be good for laning if you're stuck mid or just need to be more passive and hang back, you buy headhunter anyways so getting early is fine

   2. 2

      Restorative Shot

      Lash's gun is pretty accurate long range, can easily hit heroes for the 50 heal

   3. 3

      Healing Rite

3. 3green spike

   Author's category · 3 items

   1. 1

      Extra Stamina

      more stam more ability to dive and them get out

   2. 2

      Healbane

      antiheal is pretty stupid strong right now, you could buy debuff reducer instead of this if they dont have much healing but this is better in 90% of games

   3. 3

      Stamina Mastery

      Built from Extra Stamina

      helps you get in and out easily, plus lets you float in the air after using grapple so you can slam whenever you choose not just when youre out of stam

4. 4Mid Game spikes

   Author's category · 7 items · our core items

   1. 1

      Mystic Expansion

      make ult bigger, easier to grab more people

   2. 2

      Mystic Shot

      solid burst can proc tankbuster mid to late early just good poke, can be sold super late for damage or survivability

   3. 3

      Headhunter

      Built from Headshot Booster

      your gun is good, hitting headshots isn't too crazy hard, extra move speed damage and a heal for being accurate is great

5. 5Midgame choicesoptional

   Author's category · 4 items · usually dont buy

   1. 1

      Cold Front

      it's pretty okay on lash right now, artic blast is really good lane game rn

   2. 2

      Dispel Magic

      need to cleanse the debuffs

   3. 3

      Warp Stone

      extra movement and gun res

6. 6Late Game damage spikesoptional

   Author's category · 5 items

   1. 1

      Spirit Burn

      great antiheal and extra burst damage, usually our first or second buy once we have a free slot, even easier to proc since ground strike scaling got buffed recently

   2. 2

      Boundless Spirit

      Built from Improved Spirit

      Big damage infusion item, makes ground strike slap

   3. 3

      Arctic Blast

7. 7surviveoptional

   Author's category · 6 items

   1. 1

      Debuff Reducer

      can buy in place of healbane if wanted but really not a good item

   2. 2

      Unstoppable

      Built from Debuff Reducer

      crazy good item and usually bought every game, if for some reason they dont get a way to knock you out of the sky you can skip but that almost never happens

   3. 3

      Spellbreaker

8. 8odds and endsoptional

   Author's category · 5 items

   1. 1

      Transcendent Cooldown

      Built from Superior Cooldown

      I'd only buy this if you have 3 actives at least, those 3200 souls are usually better spent elsewhere

   2. 2

      Silence Wave

      good for people who really need to be silenced to lock them down

   3. 3

      Cursed Relic

9. 9eggoptional

   Author's category · 1 items · egg

   1. 1

      Golden Goose Egg

      egg (can buy early and sell for big spike once it hits around 1500)

10. 10potential sauceoptional

    Author's category · 3 items

    1. 1

       Recharging Rush

       can replace mystic shot if you don't want to buy extra charge, its really easy to proc with headhunter. If you're going more gun hybrid this is better than mystic shot IMO

    2. 2

       Restorative Locket

       Can probably replace healbane in most builds if you don't need healbane, items really strong right now on air movement characters since you get so much stam

    3. 3

11. 11I mean maybeoptional

    Author's category · 3 items

    1. 1

       Crippling Headshot

       This item is still crazy good and honestly you may want to buy it early to help your gun damage right now, hybrid lash is pretty cracked

    2. 2

       Siphon Bullets

       items just kinda OP in general to shred health bars late game

    3. 3

       Ballistic Enchantment
