very useful to make farming certain more spread out camps easier and breaking boxes without shooting. Always get later if not early

either on pain battery or ult depending on game

Suppressor
Stupid OP item but enemy team comp dependent
Mystic Vulnerability
Ethereal Shift
Warp Stone
Scourge

Unstoppable
against CC spam
Witchmail
Very good but extremely enemy team comp dependent
Mystic Reverb
Spirit Burn
Boundless Spirit
Built from Improved Spirit
Spellbreaker
Juggernaut
Healing Tempo
Built from Healing Booster
Divine Barrier
sometimes necessary against pocket though frenzy + max jumpstart clears affliction almost instantly
Healbane
Not often necessary but if you need it don't skip
Debuff Reducer
Builds to unstop and of decent value since we don't go max jumpstart
Arcane Surge
Could be good but obnoxious on Victor especially since you don't want to use your stamina on abilities
Spirit Resilience
If you're dying too fast
Metal Skin
If return fire or plated armor is just genuinely not enough (fed Vyper, 100 stack Drifter etc)
Counterspell
generally not as impactful on Victor but too value to ignore on certain comps
Dispel Magic
Mirage and Shiv
