Everything is Annotated!! I fixed it so now it looks nice again. Sorry about that. "Ew hybrid vyper ew!" There is plenty of gun here, dont worry. I'd let Vyper hold me close and if she stabbed me, that'd be just okay with me. "hi" - Digital
1Lane!
Author's category · 9 items · Try and focus both 4.8k spikes
Extra Spirit
Bonus spirit is nice. It also makes pokes with the dagger a bit better

Same as Extra Spirit, just more so

More sliding and more shooting, best of both worlds!

Vampiric Burst
Built from Bullet Lifesteal
Leech is more consistent but VB provides a huge burst in lifesteal
Leech
Built from Bullet Lifesteal
Leech is really consistent and easier to use. Though you should get used to using actives!! They are useful!!!!
4If you dont know what 4.8k spike is: At the bottom left of your screen there are 3 bars (Weapon, Vitality, Spirit). The more you invest into a category the more bonuses youll get. At 4.8k the bonus 'spikes', giving you a nice increase to your stats in that category

Screwjab DaggerScrewjab Dagger | Screwjab Dagger: Ability unlocked, step 1 | Screwjab Dagger: 1 AP upgrade, step 14 | Screwjab Dagger: 2 AP upgrade, step 15 |
|---|
Bullet Resist Shredder
Either this or Slowing Hex
Weighted Shots
Grab resto locket for this, cancels out the stamina recovery debuff by just opening locket!
Close Quarters
Shoot closely
Rapid Rounds
Shoot rapidly
Restorative Locket
This should pair great with Weighted Shots
Bullet Lifesteal
Not sure why i didnt have this here sooner. Early game sustain
Boundless Spirit
Built from Improved Spirit
Powerspike 2
Battle Vest
Gun heavy lane? This'll help and give you some gun damage as well!
Enduring Speed
Kelvin Beam or Slowing Bullets
Spirit Shielding
Spirit heavy lane? This is probably for you
Weapon Shielding
Weapon heavy lane? This is probably for you
Dispel Magic
Gets rid of Disarm and Bleeds (Shiv.), also great for Bebop/Seven Bombs
Escalating Resilience
They've got gun? So do you! Build up that resist baby!
Berserker
You're gonna get damaged at some point
Crippling Headshot
Resistance and Anti-heal is nice, though landing headshots may be tricky for some (me)
Frenzy
If you manage to stay below half consistently, this is probably the card for you
Glass Cannon
Glass cannon is nice damage. Personally I dont pick it up but, though this is the "Preference" section
Spellbreaker
For anyone who does crazy spirit burst like Grey Talon, Bebop, Apollo, Doorman, Holliday
Divine Barrier
I actually really enjoy this, and I tend to replace Dispel Magic with this if i have the souls to spare. Its a slightly shorter cooldown, does the same thing but better, and it can help your teammates
Unstoppable
Indomitable but better, just not as automatic
Slowing Hex
Stops people like Celeste, Holliday, and Lash from getting away too fast
Silence Wave
Disarming Hex
Built from Rusted Barrel
Cursed Relic
Your supports (if you have any) should grab this, but if not, its up to you. This is great for disabling anyone who is fed, or Sinclair. It can be ignored by Indomitable or Unstoppable!!
Focus Lens
Built from Spirit Sap
Arctic Blast
Built from Cold Front
This procs indom if you REALLY need to get rid of that before using Bola on someone
Juggernaut
Built from Enduring Speed
For people who shoot too much
Inhibitor
Better Healbane
Mystic Reverb
