Build is as old as the game, OG's remember sammi. No 1 lady geist spirit build. Also well rounded All items upgrade, no slotlock. All items annotated. Plenty of Optionals for each game and the comps.

Author's category · 20 items
Greater Expansion
Built from Mystic Expansion
Great for life drain and ult but since we already are tanky, not super necessary anymore for bomb with ballistic enhancement.
Healing Rite
Good in early early lane phase to stay in lane when low health and to take sinners
5Strategies
Author's category · 0 items · I have been playing geist since the start of the game, Geist has gone through many changes and metas. This build is to maxmize CC through bomb whilst maintaining sustain through spirit lifesteal and crazy damage. Though Hybrid spitfire geist is also another valid strategy that can be better than maxmized bomb build depending on the game so those items are included in this as well.
No items listed.
6History
Author's category · 0 items · This Build has been around almost since the beginning of the game. If you are an OG deadlock player you will remember sammi's bomb build, sammi walked so the rest of us could sprint. This is the evolution of the bomb spirit build, and it is the ultimate bomb spirit guide. Continously updated to adjust for changes and retools.

Mystic Expansion
Important for wave clear
Radiant Regeneration
Early sustain. Scales great into late game but can sell later for infuser
Spirit Lifesteal
Tankbuster
Built from Mystic Burst
Must have for the whole game because of the 8 percent damage buff. Extremely important when kiting team fights, sell late for echo when max items
Leech
Built from Spirit Lifesteal
Crux of the whole build, Key to our entire sustain
Berserker
Really strong cause we always are taking damage so always at max stacks.
Escalating Exposure
Built from Mystic Vulnerability
Key item for late game team fights as the toxic residue from bomb causes stacks on whole teams. Single most important damage item in build
Boundless Spirit
Built from Improved Spirit
This is a no-brainer lol
Transcendent Cooldown
Built from Superior Cooldown
No brainer
Spirit Burn
was nerfed but still great, and valuable for anti heal
Juggernaut
Built from Enduring Speed
Overall best health item
Echo Shard
Great it you want double burst bomb. Double burst bomb would literally just destroy. Late game sell tankbuster
Spellslinger
Best dps item combined with spirit builds, ACROSS ALL HEROES. Really good for hybrid, dogfighta geist
Debuff Reducer
Good for infernus burn or or other lingering debuffs.
Dispel Magic
important if debuff targeted with silence and curse/bebop bomb etc
Bullet Resilience
Remember more damage you do, the more health you recieve, do you wanna sacrifice more damage for more resistance?
Metal Skin
Better than plated armor cause its cheaper and negates all bullets but must be able to time well
Plated Armor
If they ALL are bullet damage than it wouldnt hurt to have this, still benefical even if they have armor piercing rounds
Mystic Regeneration
Mostly for difficult lane. Spam Malice for heals, play behind tower
Cursed Relic
Buy to take best player out the game
Spirit Resilience
Must buy if heavy spirit, even more than infuser
Mercurial Magnum
Good for Dogfighta geist, If you want hybrid spitfire gunna geist, grab this with spellslinger.
Mystic Reverb
Put it on your lifedrain since it can only affect one person it maximizes tether. Great for Dogfighta, also good but double bomb better.
Counterspell
Really good against predictable ults like wraith and lash, and just about any ability you can block with it, high skill item for sure
Rapid Recharge
Good for dogfighta geist cause of the charges on life drain, really good with reverb
Reactive Barrier
Great early game for pretty much anything but not core kit
Indomitable
Built from Reactive Barrier
Auto unstoppable, great if constantly being silenced or bieng ult countered like wraith or infernus or any stun. Really handy.
Healbane
For extra anti heal
Inhibitor
For Anti heal maxxing
Infuser
Built from Spirit Lifesteal
Spirit version of vampiric burst amazing
Spiritual Overflow
Built from Spirit Lifesteal
I like overflow on geist specifically for the lifesteal, plus having a 6000 gun item with beserker turns you to an elite hybrid
