|---|
Healbane
Great for the heal on kill after 6/11 nerfs, but gotta make sure you are hitting your spirit abilities
Extra Stamina
We need stamina on Silver
Bullet Lifesteal
Good stats, especially sustain. Can upg later
Hunter's Aura
Anti-Gun and DMG boost, fits playstyle
Compress Cooldown
Ult CD so we can take good fights more often
Great DMG boost + Debuff Resist. Us getting slower kinda sucks but we rely on Warp Stone and abilities
Lifestrike
Built from Melee Lifesteal
More health, more melee DMG, better healing than Melee Lifesteal and half the CD, added slow on Melee hits, this item is great for just 2.4k extra idk why nobody buys it
Berserker
We are a bullet sponge, big DMG boost late
Superior Cooldown
Built from Compress Cooldown
All CDs, helps mobility + sustain
Vampiric Burst
Built from Bullet Lifesteal
Can use this for healing and securing kills, ATP in build look at "Other Options" and buy your preference instead
Silence Wave
Good CC into burst heroes in team fights, and builds ult charge
Spellbreaker
Super good into burst spirit comps + debuffs.
Indomitable
Built from Reactive Barrier
Helps counter 1 instance of CC or if enemies have forms of CC that keep catching you off guard, ex: Paradox, Lash, Mo and Krill, Abrams, Holliday, etc.
Spirit Resilience
Very consistent makes us tankier into spirit, gun alternative of course is Bullet Resilience
Counterspell
Can always get value if you know what to parry, common examples: Lash Ult, Pocket Ult, Yamato Slash, Grey Talon Ult, Kelvin Nade, etc.
Witchmail
Good into spirit-heavy comps as we can just spam our sustaining CDs in ult
Plated Armor
Good into Infernus/Haze/Mirage/Debuffs but idk I don't really buy it too often on Silver
Juggernaut
Anti-M1 characters and anti-slows, good mobility too
Metal Skin
Counters M1 carries: Haze, Vyper, Drifter, Venator - I don't like it on Silver though, I hate being slower
Frenzy
Helps secure kills when getting low, big DMG boost
Colossus
Gotta know when to use it, good innate stats too. Super good tanky stat boosts + Melee and slow fit our playstyle
Warp Stone
Helps catch people / escape + 30% bullet , can skip Stamina Mastery and buy this instead
Express Shot
Can build this early to insta pop ult off a Boot Kick, maybe buy in place of Hunter's Aura? Idk usually Hunter's is better
Leech
Built from Bullet Lifesteal
Good stats and consistent heal from M1s, just alright
Siphon Bullets
Still testing this but I think it could go crazy in ult form if enemies have high HP
Close Quarters
Early DMG boost and Melee RES, sell later
Extra Regen
Best early sustain if needed, sell for slot later
Debuff Reducer
If building Unstop or Spellbreaker buy whenever
