Hybrid build focused on rotating and fighting a lot. Fully annotated.
1Early game
Game stage · 6 items
Restorative Shot
Good lane sustain
Melee Lifesteal
Paired with resto shot you'll be able to recover chunks of health early.
Stalker
Really good for early game trades.
Spirit Strike
Pairs well with your kit since 3 of your abilities count as melee and pairs well with stalker and BRS for good damage / shred
Bullet Resist Shredder
Really nice early game shred
Trophy Collector
You're a bounty hunter... (Great for passive income, rotating faster around the map, and ability range is nice to have). Skip if you're having a bad start/game.
2Mid game
Game stage · 6 items
Weighted Shots
Just a straight forward upgrade from slowing bullets. Nice damage boost + resistances. You will be slightly slower after buying.
Lifestrike
Built from Melee Lifesteal
Really great for sustain and also applies a slow. Try to weave this inbetween your shots to maximize damage and healing.
Warp Stone
3Late Game + Optionals
Author's category · 3 items
Berserker
Your goal is to build stacks in a teamfight and sustain with healing to maximize your stacks.
Inhibitor
Broken item on silver. Easy to proc and works as your best anti-heal item + damage reduction.
Boundless Spirit
Built from Improved Spirit
Silver has amazing spirit scaling so investing into boundless amps your spirit damage a lot.
4Debuffing / Damageoptional
Author's category · 6 items
Express Shot
Damage is nice, but really becomes useless when you're mostly playing around ult resetting (can't proc it in ult).
Spirit Snatch
Built from Spirit Strike
Pairs well with your kit since 3 of your abilities count as melee and pairs well with stalker and BRS for good damage / shred
Lucky Shot
5Spirit Countersoptional
Author's category · 9 items
Guardian Ward
Nice for durability and movement. Mainly included since it builds into DB.
Spirit Shielding
Nice early sustain vs heavy spirit damage champs.
Counterspell
Hard counter to a lot of ults / reactable abilities.
6Weapon Countersoptional
Author's category · 9 items
Rebuttal
Mainly a hard counter for Viscous punch build.
Enduring Speed
Really nice if you're looking for additional move speed. You also gain slow resistance.
Weapon Shielding
Nice early sustain vs heavy gun damage champs.
7Durability / Sustainoptional
Author's category · 9 items
Fortitude
Nice item if you despise recalling. Also the conditional move speed is nice.
Unstoppable
Great item for team fighting as enemy throws everything at you. If the team does have CC, but not much, opt for Indomitable instead.
Indomitable
Great for CC if you're not encountering a lot of it.

|---|
Really good for escaping and sticking to people
Improved Spirit
Silver has amazing spirit scaling so investing into improved spirit lets you proc tankbuster and gives good additional damage.
Tankbuster
Hunter's Aura
Really strong for isolated kills, but overall a good buy for proxy debuffing.
Just more damage stacking. Ideal use is in ult since you're focused on bullet shredding and fast fire rate.
Glass Cannon
DO NOT BUY THIS IF YOU AREN'T THE SERVER ADMIN IN THE LOBBY.
Armor Piercer
Super rare buy. I only go this if the enemy is stacking bullet resistances and or plated armors.
Crippling Headshot
In base form you're a shotgun character. You have the easiest time applying this. If your team is lacking anti heal & shred buy this.
Spirit Resilience
One of the best spirit resist items as it makes easier to tank spirit damage.
Dispel Magic
Mainly for cleansing damage over time or debuffs.
Witchmail
If the team has 3+ spirit champs go this item as it will provide huge value for cds along with some spirit resist. Paired well with other spirit resistance items.
Spellbreaker
THE counter to high spirit burst damage. Perfect against Lash, Holliday, Yamato, etc. Go this if you want to neglect a huge chunk of damage from a single spirit ability.
Divine Barrier
Built from Guardian Ward
Really nice for durability + cleansing debuffs (especially pocket ult).
Silencer
Nerfs their spirit damage and stops them from using abilities.
Return Fire
If you find yourself diving into a comp with multiple gun champs.
Bullet Resilience
For general bullet tankiness.
Metal Skin
If you need to hard invalidate one or more gun characters as youre fighting.
Plated Armor
Nice if you need to somewhat neglect gun or on hits.
Phantom Strike
For characters who are pretty mobile / airborne.
Juggernaut
Built from Enduring Speed
Really nice if you're fighting a comp with high fire rate. Think haze, infernus, wraith, etc. Pairs well with Hunters Aura (50-64% fire rate slow). You also gain more slow resistance.
Colossus
Makes you super beefy. More health and juicy resistances when active.
Frenzy
Really good for ult. You like all the stats provided. Also really nice since it has a 6 second downtime (2 if you have tier 4 cd reduction).
Vampiric Burst
Fire rate and healing. Perfect for ult, although by now you should have enough of both...
Leech
Really nice if you want lifesteal from both shooting and your 2/3. Would most likely need to go a hybrid build to see a lot of value.
Diviner's Kevlar
Great since you get 1K health from just popping ult and your ult is on a super short cd so you get constant value from this.
Healing Tempo
Mainly for when you're steam rolling a fight with ult. Pairs well with your wolf form bite and lunge (heal from lifestrike proc). Really nice as it increases your fire rate which is needed in ult.
