Hybrid apollo build,decent all-rounder
1Early game
Game stage · 10 items · (L->R) 4.8k weapon first
High-Velocity Rounds
Opening Rounds
Built from High-Velocity Rounds
amazing lane bully item, great synergy with early ult
Close Quarters
ur gonna be up close often, sell for aura if no one has it yet
Monster Rounds
either this or charge depends on souls, this is an important item for melee playstyle
Melee Charge
starting the melee bit now that we have upgraded parry
Spirit Strike
Melee Lifesteal
Rebuttal
buy early into melee characters or if the enemy is liberal with punches
Extra Stamina
generally good item for getting in and out
Mystic Regeneration
its the apollo special
2Murder Lobby FIRST
Author's category · 2 items
Sprint Boots
Trophy Collector
Built from Sprint Boots
GET THIS FUCKING THING FIRST if the lobby has a lot of early fighting, start roaming early to stack it ASAP (in lower ranks MUST BUY FIRST) ((try running crates if ur mid))
3Unimportant upgrades
Author's category · 2 items
Lightning Scroll
our ult is very awkward, prefer to sell slow for defensives
Cultist Sacrifice
Built from Monster Rounds
4Core
Author's category · 10 items · order not important, try to hit 4.8k in all first tho
Mystic Slow
absolutely amazing for apollo, especially this build
Spirit Snatch
Built from Spirit Strike
4.8k spirit, plus nice buff for our abilities after
Stamina Mastery
Built from Extra Stamina
must have now, for 4.8k and that going around is really important
5Defensives (look to get one midgame, two-three lategame, start selling lower rank items when super late or fed to stop dying)
Author's category · 11 items
Counterspell
good vs predictable abilities (lash, rem, celeste, abrams, etc.)
Dispel Magic
its pretty much a must buy as slowing hex exists, but this build suffers a bit less from that due to it being reliant more on gun and riposte
Categories appear in the author's order. Only the editor's default Early, Mid and Late sections are marked as game stages; the author's own categories keep their names. “Built from” links come from the game's item recipes.
