Crippling Headshot
If entire enemy team is buying Spirit Resiliance you need this item

7Situationalsoptional
Author's category · 16 items · Buy what you need based off game state
Mystic Shot
Snowball item, always buy after dispel if you have a large lead. This makes executing people ridiculously easy (after some expirimentation recently Swift Striker/Toxic Bullets is better invest)
Toxic Bullets
Slept on, was bad, I saw ABL using it, tried it out, this is goated if you're vs a heavy tank comp or lots of self-healers
