Extra Regen
if you're doing really good in lane you can skip but most of the time you're going to buy this and upgrade it into healing booster later
Grit
I love building Brown Grips in Deadblock
Spirit Shielding
Built from Grit
UPgrade your Grip if you bought it (Or buy Reactive Barrier)!

Restorative Locket
Celeste has the slowest move speed and the fourth slowest stamina regen so you will probably have to rely on this item a lot for chase and escape
Healing Booster
Built from Extra Regen
Definitely core but I could see a world where you skip buying this item (sell later if not needed)
Stamina Mastery

Mystic Expansion
= big
Greater Expansion
Built from Mystic Expansion

Did you know that this item also works on displacements (Dynamo Kinetic Pulse, Holliday Powder Keg)?
Spirit Resilience
Don't get this if you feel the spirit resist you get from EE + Greater Expansion and Resto Locket is enough
Slowing Hex
In case they have a team of like... Apollo Mina Holliday Pocket Calico Lash (very rare buy)
Mystic Vulnerability
get this earlier if needed
Escalating Exposure
Built from Mystic Vulnerability
at some point they will have spirit resist so you buy this item
Blood Tribute
Uhmm uhmm I saw it in other top builds so I put it here to fit in!, but the stats look good!! (rare buy)
Knockdown
Buy if no one else buys for Vindicta and Grey Talon, but may be preferable to save for Phantom Strike (rare buy)
Spirit Burn
Yummy anti-heal
Refresher
