- wraith is a hero all about spiking and 6.4ks - fairly important core but offers some flexibility especially post-rico - don't forget greens especially if ahead and snowballing - after max 1 prio max 2 or max 3 depending on enemy comp and playstyle (but always 1 point in both)

|---|
Quicksilver Reload
Bullet Resist Shredder
Improved Spirit
Tesla Bullets
Fortitude
Bullet Lifesteal
Capacitor
Built from Tesla Bullets
should get at some point since it marginally increases tesla dmg and tesla is so good
Leech
Built from Bullet Lifesteal
core
Unstoppable
buy early if really ahead or if high cc on enemy team. should always buy late game
Spirit Lifesteal
empirically and data-wise seems better than bullet lifesteal at basically every point in the game
Debuff Reducer
Escalating Exposure
probably bad compared to other options; wraith does a deceptive amount of spirit damage tho so maybe if fights last long this is good esp with trans cd
Indomitable
Built from Reactive Barrier
kinda just worse unstop on wraith; buy both in some rare situations
Healing Tempo
probably not optimal but is alright if you have siphon (DO NOT BUY WITHOUT SIPHON)
Ethereal Shift
if you get perma dove and need time for peel / cds
Transcendent Cooldown
helps a lot of things (tesla, unstop, more cards)
Lucky Shot
good bonus gun damage. currently (8/4) procs double card gen on lucky shot procs. doesnt proc on rico thus only ~8% card gen bonus. maybe valid maybe not
Boundless Spirit
Built from Improved Spirit
if you want to play hard into spirit
Crippling Headshot
Built from Weakening Headshot
Spirit Resilience
Spellslinger
testing higher prio in build; generally buy if lots of big teamfights where you can free fire (might just be a better spiritual)
