good if you feel like youre running out of charges, also means you REALLY dont care about sup cooldown

i think this thing is really good, but the resistance doesnt stack so dont buy it if somebody else has it.

6ACTIVE ITEMSoptional
Author's category · 7 items · vaugely ordered from good to less good
Slowing Hex
go away pocket / lash / calico / mina / apollo. really strong in general but if they dont have much movement its just good and not insane
Spirit Sap
item is way stronger than you think because -30sp is hard to visualise. shiv hates this especially. its kind of like youre unbuying a boundless from them
Knockdown
7stop dyingoptional

this is actually spirit res in disguise

Spiritual Overflow
40 spirit power if i hit two shots? hmm
Spirit Shredder
extremely strong item in general and i should probably try it more. probably not best on this hero but if your team literally has zero shred this is what needs to be done
Veil Walker
9bad items and the reasons they are badoptional
Author's category · 7 items

Extra Charge
you can get extra spirit first if you want
Compress Cooldown
you can put this on bell but i think having ult up more often is so good
i REALLY like this thing with sharpshooter
Sharpshooter
highly undervalued item, its like glass cannon but costs half as much
Headhunter
good if your team is going to push walkers and you dont need to be top objective damage in the lobby. sell this for crippling headshot if it gets gigalate
just get this whenever youre at the store
Stamina Mastery
you can trade in your t2 green for this if you want later
really good and sets up free cart
Focus Lens
Built from Spirit Sap
REALLY good, 30% damage as pure damage. probably if theres like 4 debuff removers just get echo shard instead.
Silence Wave
slowing hex 2, procs indomitable
Cursed Relic
*most* of the time focus lens is good enough
Decay
this item might be flat out dead now but im not sure
way too conditional to be worse than long range
Greater Expansion
ability range does nothing for us because we want to hit the impact
Mystic Reverb
kind of bad for the cost? way worse than spirit burn. lifesteal isnt a big deal and the rest is eh. its the least bad of all these items though
Cheat Death
be honest with me.
Metal Skin
dying to bullet damage is usually a positioning issue.
