Monster Rounds
Monster rounds upgrades to cultist sacrifice and this also helps you push waves in. (Sell this if you need a slot.
Cultist Sacrifice
Built from Monster Rounds
This item feels so good with MORE BUFFS. So much money$$$$$$$ + the stats HEALTH + ABILITY RANGE + Weapon DPS!!

Slowing hex stops enemy movement abilities. Can go Slowing Hex + Spirit Snatch for 4.8k spirit spike. AMAZING ITEM!

Immune to bullets for a bit
Healbane
Most reliable anti heal for billy (really good item)
Lifestrike

With the buffs this feels a little better. The slows from this are noticeable. Since we are in a tempo meta this really helps early in the game and obviously it scales late aswell.
Weapon Shielding

Like spirit shielding but only get vs a lot of gun.
Reactive Barrier
Built from Grit
If most enemies can proc it, buy it. This scales well with spirit instead of boons.
