About this recommendation

Sample: Wraith, normal mode, ranked matches with average rank Phantom or higher, from Oct 5, 2026 (Oct 5, 2026 update) to Oct 8, 2026, never more than 14 days: 3,082 matches, 53.2% won. Unranked matches carry no badge, so a rank bracket means ranked matches only.
Playstyle: the most common trio of 3,200+ soul items by 30:00 was Surge of Power, Dispel Magic, Mercurial Magnum. 1,518 matches built all three (49% of the sample); 57.6% of them were won. That describes these players, not this exact build, which no one may have followed item for item.
Items: bought by at least 50% of the group; late items are counted among the 479 matches that reached 35:00. If that leaves fewer than 2 late items, the build continues with the group's most-bought late items (at least 30%). Order and times are the group's medians.
Inventory: checked after every purchase with game recipes, observed sales and the observed limits of 12 items and 4 active items.
Ranked Wraith matches by rank in this window: Eternus 372 · Oracle 1,816 · Phantom 1,763 · Mystic 1,365 · Sentinel 1,316 · Acolyte 1,604 · Seeker 1,707 · Ascendant 947 · Ritualist 1,340 · Emissary 1,500 · Initiate 720.
