Author's notes

Right-click ohko combo build. TBuster and Viscous nerfs were not enough to put this puppy down, and if played right you will still dominate games

Item categories

1Rough Lane?optional
Author's category · 4 items
1. 1
  Melee Lifesteal
  More melee damage and heals. Can slot into the core very nice with little downsides, some games I takes this over HVR or Spirit Strike in Lane. LIFE STRIKE AFTER CORE AND NO SOONER, otherwise sell
2. 2
  Healing Rite
3. 3
  Grit
  For mid-to-late-game barrier items. Also good vs bursty lanes like bebop, yamato etc.
4. 4
2Coreoptional
Author's category · 14 items · Top row any order for lane (L>R is fine though) || Bottom row L>R
1. 1
  High-Velocity Rounds
  Makes confirming souls, poking and landing right-clicks easier. Can skip or swap out for Headshot Booster if preferred but this upgrades into Express which we 100% need
2. 2
  Mystic Burst
3. 3
  Mystic Expansion
3CONSIDER MEoptional

1. 1
  Golden Goose Egg
  Viscous is generally a good lane bully which this item works against so I'd avoid m. If you end up in a lane with a passive player or see it as unwinnable just snag this and pop @ 10
2. 2
  Trophy Collector
  Get after mystic shot if at all. The passive soul income and speed buffs are pretty good to allow you to roam more and farm less, especially since this build is expensive
3. 3
4Counter-Countersoptional
Author's category · 5 items · They know what you're doing
1. 1
  Warp Stone
  Cheaper Phantom strike or in addition. Get if you're struggle to make the §6,400 needed OR for an earlier green spike with teleport
2. 2
  Counterspell
  Use for things you can't cube out of like Lash ult. Otherwise get dispell or cube away negative effects
3. 3
  Unstoppable
5Late gameoptional
Game stage · 3 items · not L>R
1. 1
  Transcendent Cooldown
  It can also be worth getting sup cooldown earlier just for more splatters and punches, but we want this for item cooldown too
2. 2
  Spirit Burn
  Antiheal
3. 3
  Mystic Reverb
  sustain or vs tankier teams
