1Lane / Early
Author's category · 10 items · Generally left -> right | WIN LANE = WIN GAME
Mystic Burst
We use this extra flat damage to help us win lane by poking enemies & clearing waves | 140 dmg @ t0 nade, 200 dmg at t2 nade | HIT YOUR NADES!!
Extra Regen
Good Regen in lane. You can upgrade this into Healing Booster at any point if you want since we go Healing Tempo if you take Mercurial Magnum
Monster Rounds
Buy to get lane prio | Idk where to put this and still have my build look nice and clean LOL
24.8k Green (3200)
Author's category · 2 items · Pick 1 for now, can buy the other later if needed
Spirit Resilience
I lowkey just always take currently due to spirit meta | Buy if lots of enemy spirit on the enemy team | (4/7) I may replace this with Dispel Magic a lot due to spirit debuff meta but will buy after
Dispel Magic
Take this when enemies or enemy sidelaner is a big debuff character. It really helps in 1v1's vs Shiv, Mirage, Infernus, etc... | I buy this item occasionally if the game calls for it
34.8k Green (1600)
Author's category · 2 items · Pick 1 for now, can buy the other later if needed
Healbane
I lowkey just always take currently bc the item is too good | If they have a lot of healing (infernus, kelvin, lash, etc...)
Healing Booster
Built from Extra Regen
4Consideroptional
Author's category · 3 items · Mid-Game Counter Items
Metal Skin
Buy for pure gun damage characters like vyper, venator, haze ult, etc... | I buy this item on occasion
Counterspell
Very good item to counter a lot of different abilities. REMEMBER TO USE IT | I rarely buy this item
Warp Stone
Used to reposition or if they have a lot of pick characters like Holliday, Apollo, Bebop, etc... | Buy if you have a hard time hitting swaps or are often out of position | Also warp onto Vindicta
5CORE
Author's category · 4 items · Big powerspikes, sell mystic burst and extra regen if slot locked
Spellslinger
For pure gun users, this is a general pathway I usually go. Use your brain after spellslinger but Inhibitor and Leech will always be good buys
Ballistic Enchantment
Bullet Lifesteal
6Late Core* - I used * so that you think CRITICALLY before buying but these are always good options | Sell BRS, Healbane, or Cultist | Think about selling other items maybe if needed if REALLY rich
Author's category · 14 items
Crippling Headshot
Just boosts all of your entire kits damage on 1 headshot | Sell BRS if needed
Silencer
This item is extremely good into spirit comps. VERY IMPORTANT: 1 shot of this will make the enemy due to -25% less spirit damage. The silence is nice but we care about the damage reduction more
7Late (Other Potential Buys)optional
Author's category · 11 items · Buy any of the following based on situation (READ ANNOTATIONS BELOW)
Juggernaut
Good against slowing CC, m1's, & melees
Divine Barrier
They have a t3 ult pocket and you have no supports buying this to help you | Geist needs to be able to gain health in order to keep fighting
Armor Piercer
8Defensivesoptional
Author's category · 5 items · Niche but could be helpful
Rebuttal
Reactive Barrier
Debuff Reducer
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.
| Essence Bomb: Ability unlocked, step 1 | Essence Bomb: 1 AP upgrade, step 5 | Essence Bomb: 2 AP upgrade, step 6 | Essence Bomb: 5 AP upgrade, step 8 |
Mystic Regeneration
Cultist Sacrifice
Built from Monster Rounds
Radiant Regeneration
Built from Mystic Regeneration
Must have Geist item | PRO TIP: Use malice to grant a speed boost whenever or to gain health back when very low
Extra Stamina
Kinetic Dash
Built from Extra Stamina
Best gun 1600 in the game | HIT YOUR DASH-JUMPS!
Bullet Resist Shredder
GOAT for being a farming item, objective melter, & enemy shredder | As of 3/31, some people take Arcane Surge instead but I think its a larp item
Berserker
Made for Geist | PRO TIP: Keep stacks up with malice/nade
Leech
Built from Bullet Lifesteal
Buffs healing from gun & spirit dmg to make for insane sustain in fights | Generally (keyword is generally)
Frenzy
More gun damage, fire rate, & spirit resist | Good against sustained spirit damage
Toxic Bullets
Buy if you need more anti-heal or to help finish enemies
Fleetfoot
Use when in chasing while shooting or when using life drain | Good if you need to chase more but this is a rarer buy for me personally
Plated Armor
Good against ON-HIT m1's | On-hit: An 'on-hit' are things that build up over time such as Toxic Bullets, Inhibitor, Slowing Bullets, Djin Marks, Infernus Stacks, Mina Stacks, etc...
Witchmail
Extra spirit resist for sustained spirit damage and this is here to replace Recharging Rush if game lasts that long. Spirit damage will recharge your drain charges
Spellbreaker
Need more spirit resist & debuff resist | Helps against spirit burst nukes
Unstoppable
Good against ult CC & Curse. Just remember that you need to use before you get CC'd
Inhibitor
Anti-heal, reduces enemy damage, and increases your weapon damage & health | 3-shot buildup | (4/7) I'm ngl, I was hard sleeping on this item but it's lowkey so peak (Thx Reintale!!)
Healing Tempo
Built from Healing Booster
Increased firerate and movement speed. Synergizes with all the healing by your kit and items. (just try it if you don't believe me)
Spiritual Overflow
Fire rate, spirit lifesteal, duration, spirit power, gun spike. This item is so beyond OP for Geist and perfectly synergizes with Mercurial Magnum
Mercurial Magnum
Mercurial Magnum IS SO BACK!!! This top pathway is secret compy tech | Instant buffs on 3 press | PRO TIP: Once you use malice, keep ammo above 1 via more malice uses and k-dash for permanent buffs.
Escalating Exposure
Works really well with the top Mercurial Magnum pathway. Extra spirit resist and amp
They all have plated or their carry has plated | Very niche buy
Blood Tribute
Very niche item used to snap shot remove Pocket and Mo ultimates | Very good item, but I usually don't mess with it too much
Cheat Death
Niche buy for the 1/100 game that your death means that you lose and no one on your team can help to keep you alive
Colossus
Larp as Thanos | Very niche item rn | Nice extra resisit, slow, and insane health increase | I opt for lifesteal usually however over more health
Indomitable
Take if they have annoying one off cc like lasso | Remember thought that this item is lowkey luck based as it may be triggered by a silence wave for example
Ricochet
Buy if you have a lot of on-hit items | Also buy for graves skulls build if she is somehow fed (As of 6/12, Graves is literally F tier right now LOL)
Weighted Shots
Another debuff resist option. Also boosts weapon damage and acts as a slow via the slowing bullets component
Siphon Bullets
Some Geists player like it. It's lowkey whatever for me personally. Better against tanks like Abrams, Billy, Victor, etc...
Recharging Rush
Will win you so many fights by giving you an instant drain charge | PRO TIP: Hitting a heavy melee grants a charge mid-fight if you are reloading or you don't have time to do enough damage by shooting
Return Fire
Bullet Resilience
Very rare and niche buy. However, Bullet Resillence is good for when enemies do gun damage such as Billy, Silver, melee builds, etc... but this isn't for m1 carries | Conditions for this are very rare
