Published guides that Rem players started matches with in this period, most used first, with copies and near-identical guides removed. Usage comes from the API's analysed matches and counts the guide selected at match start; it doesn't show whether players followed it. Game mode can't be filtered for this data.

1. 1
  Tankbuster
  Get this after selling egg so you dont nerf u,, Good tempo item especially if you're ahead! Can skip! I like it but end up selling when teamfights get more heavy and I need more actives or debuffs :3c
2. 2
  Superior Cooldown

  Longer Pillow debuffs, tag along, nap time, remlings, longer everything! I love this item
4Rich!!!
Author's category · All are important for different matchups and builds! Scourge feels great on a frontline, Divine Barrier can save people from Affliction, and Curse is a good counter for a bunch of characters. Pick as you need! Or left to right ig,,
1. 1
  Scourge
  This item is so good, spirit resist is a must have and it does decent damage if you use it on a frontline
2. 2
  Cursed Relic
  Works amazingly against all in characters like Shiv and Yamato, can kill them before they pop their sustain tools if played well
3. 3
5Lane Options!!!optional
Author's category
1. 1
  Extra Regen
  Mathmatically correct item for sustain in lane, you kinda perma push with monster rounds and helpers so only go if you're STRUGGLING. This builds into healing booster and healing tempo so, it's good!
2. 2
  Healing Rite
  Extra regen is better for you soley, BUT this builds into Rescue Beam/Healing Nova so, do what you want :)
3. 3
  Rebuttal

1. 1
  Restorative Locket
  Nice chunky extra healing if going that route, can use on allies when using tag along!
2. 2
  Counterspell
  Aura farming item! Can block curse, big ults like Holliday, Billy, Grey Talon and others! I hate Yamato power slash grrrr...,
3. 3
  Dispel Magic
  I like this item a lot, I don't go it all the time especially since I kinda use Tag Along to dodge big abilities but this is nice if youre getting slowing hexxed or movement locked a lot!
7Situationaloptional

1. 1
  Slowing Hex
  Against a lot of movement characters, necessary into apollo, and builds into vortex web!!!
2. 2
  Silence Wave
  Similarly to Cursed Relic, helps against all in heros from functioning for a bit, slightly worse, but aoe and at a cheaper price; can be used to proc indomitable, and can mess up lady giest and yamato
3. 3
  Disarming Hex
8Especially with rem's changes, maxxing your abilities first is more based on game state/route of build youre going down, going more healer oriented? probably wanna max 2 first, if you're going more debuff/damage, maxxing pillow first (default right now due to my preferance) is a lot more beneficial. You can max pillow > remlings if your ebuilding alchemical fire and heroic for a silly split push build! It's really all up to you, this build has most if not everything you'd want when deciding what route to go down,,, <3

About this recommendation

Sample: Rem, 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: 1,306 matches, 48.4% won. Unranked matches carry no badge, so a rank bracket means ranked matches only.
Community-guide fallback, used because largest playstyle group has 146 matches (needs 150). Guide Sleepy little guy!!! (#420583, version 144, updated Sep 18, 2026, by its author) was the most-used complete guide in this window: started in 207 analysed matches. Its published order and skill order are kept; every item exists in current game data.
Inventory: checked after every purchase with game recipes and the observed limits of 12 items and 4 active items.
