PERFECT CARDIO, PERFECT FORM AND PERFECT HAIR

Item categories

1. 1Early game

   Game stage · 8 items · L->R Usually, try and buy alternatives if you need them

   1. 1

      Mystic Burst

      Burst is super nice early. You prefer to use this when you're whipping for extra heal, but any proc is damage.

   2. 2

      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

   3. 3

      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.

   4. 4

      Extra Charge

      I personally use my grapple a **** ton in lane so I prio this early. You can sell this after reaching T3 Grapple

   5. 5

      Mystic Shot

   6. 6

      Extra Stamina

   7. 7

      Improved Spirit

      Alchemical Fire

2. 2HEAL IN LINEoptional

   Author's category · 2 items

   1. 1

      Extra Regen

      Still my personal favourite lane healing item. Buy this whenever you are dying in lane too hard.

   2. 2

      Healing Rite

3. 3Core (Mid Game)

   Author's category · 7 items · This is the time you should be ganking fights, but make sure to still do waves!!

   1. 1

      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

   2. 2

      Stamina Mastery

      Built from Extra Stamina

      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

   3. 3

4. 4Early Survivabilityoptional

   Author's category · 3 items

   1. 1

      Restorative Locket

      I really like this item, but it's not super important if you have carpet. The stamina recovery on demand is great tho

   2. 2

      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.

   3. 3

      Recharging Rush

5. 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!)

   1. 1

      Boundless Spirit

      Built from Improved Spirit

      Still very decent. 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

   2. 2

      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)

   3. 3

6. 6Anti-Spiritoptional

   Author's category · 2 items

   1. 1

      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.

   2. 2

      Spirit Resilience

      I actually think you can make an argument for this item now

7. 7Anti-Gunoptional

   Author's category · 2 items

   1. 1

      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.

   2. 2

      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

8. 8Anti-CC + General Survivabilityoptional

   Author's category · 7 items · BUY THESE IF YOU'RE DYING (PLEASE)

   1. 1

      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

   2. 2

      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
