Counterspell will help you stop large number of abilities in the game, use it to get not hit by annoying things, from as little as a dynamo stomp, to bigger more annoying ults or other abilities :3

Swift Striker
Built from Rapid Rounds
Just a nice little upgrade :D after Point Blank this or split will get you next Gun Invest which is nice, since these are t2 you can skip and buy better gun items or buy now and sell later

Vampiric Burst
Built from Bullet Lifesteal
Best if you are ahead, the firerate buff alone will let you kill people before they have the chance, but you miss your timing, you dont have good healing for the next 30 seconds... very risk reward :3
Leech
Built from Bullet Lifesteal
Leech is better if you arent hard carry and/or fed since its always active and gives great stats
7She is green because she can be placed here!
