I

Nahkampf­lebensraub

Great healing in lane from punching minions. And we upgrade this into Lifestrike for more sustain. Procs on your 2 as well!

III

Heilender Nahkampf

Use off CD with heavy melee in lane. It's a 100 health heal on a 4 sec CD. Just so good for sustain, means you never have to leave lane. Lets you permafight in lane and it is so much fun. Also slows.

II

Verräterklinge

Great poke in lane and gives you move speed for chasing. The foostep sound reduction is also nice. And this gives you wallhacks from the DoT.

II

Aktiv

Kältefront

Adds to your burst damage, and the slow is great. We also can upgrade this into Arctic Blast.

I

Magieschlag

We upgrade this to Spirit Snatch. Kind of meh damage early, so you can skip until after Torment Pulse.

I

Sprintstiefel

Must buy for rotating around the map and ganking other lanes.

II

Wappen des Zauberers

Cooldown reduction is really rare so this is a great item since it gives you some.

I

Monster-Kugeln

Great if enemies are pushing to your tower or you need to push and take objectives.

I

Heilende Kugel

Great healing if you hit it off cooldown, the weapon damage is also nice early. If you can't save for Lifestrike this is a good pickup.

I

Zusätzliche Regeneration

If you don't like using Resto Shot this is good for healing. Usually not needed since you rush Lifestrike.

I

Aktiv

Heilungsritus

Great for healing if you get really low in lane. Sprint speed is also nice for rotating.

I

Zusätzliche Lebenspunkte

Extra health is great in lane and we can upgrade this to Fortitude later. Only buy if you need the survivability in lane.

I

Widerstand

Great against Viscous in lane since it works against Viscous Puddle Punches. Also a very good item against people building melee (usually Abrams). Only buy if you can actually parry consistently.

III

Pulsierende Pein

Great damage over the course of a game/fight. And makes you a little tankier. Also helps with farming. Just super good core item for us.

III

Magische Einverleibung

Spirit resist and power steal is amazing. Plus even more melee damage and it procs on your 2. Great damage over the course of a game. Makes you far better in 1v1s as well.

II

Stiefel des Dauerläufers

If you are boxmaxxing with cat form then buy this. The slow resist is also good if that is being an issue.

II

Imbue [E]

Abklingzeitraffer

More uptime on your ult means more fights you can take.

IV

Aktiv

Arktische Explosion

Really great item, great for catching people and for clearing waves in cat form. The combo with it is Arctic Blast, 2 immediately so the AB travels with you, light punch, 1, 4.

IV

Aktiv

Geißel

Usually after Arctic Blast. Makes you really tanky and can do a lot of damage if you get into the middle of their team. You can rush earlier if you feel it would be good or have the money.

III

Überlegene Abklingzeit

Cooldown reduction is really useful. Gives you way more uptime.

III

Gegenzauber

Great against almost everything in the game. Especially Lash.

II

Schwächungs­reduzierer

No longer works on parry stun. But still a great pick up most games.

III

Aktiv

Schwächungs­entferner

Must buy against Slowing Hex. Really great against a ton of characters, especially Vindicta, Infernus, and others who debuff you.

III

Verstärkte Magierüstung

If you need anti-spirit. Very common buy although not absolutely necessary since we build many items that have spirit resist already. I still get it like 50% of games though.

III

Verstärkte Kugelrüstung

For bullet resist. Don't go if you aren't taking much gun damage or already have anti-bullet items.

III

Mystischer Schleier

If you get this, get it early. Really nice for rotating around the map, ganking, escaping/survivability, and the heal is great in the mid game for staying on the map (like Fortitude). Pretty much core

III

Seelenkraft

Usually core, although you could go Veil Walker instead. The health is great for survivability, the move speed is great for rotating, and the heal lets you stay on the map longer.

II

Magieschild

Great against spirit damage. You can get in some lanes.

II

Aktiv

Feuererwiderung

Got nerfed but is still good against gun carries. Gives you lots of survivability. Often build in lane.

II

Reaktiver Schild

Nice in some lanes such as against Bebop. And late game has good spirit scaling, and ends up being like 500+ barrier.

II

Heilungsfluch

Easy to proc anti-heal. The heal on kill is also really great during midgame fights.

II

Unterdrückung

Great at stopping gun carries. Super good in lane against gun characters. Easy to proc and can go on many people.

II

Aktiv

Fluch der Langsamkeit

Good against Lash, Pocket, Mina, and other movement focused people. Often a must buy against a good Mina.

III

Aktiv

Niederschlag

If no one else on your team is going to buy this and you really need to stop a Vindicta/GT or Seven ult.

II

Aktiv

Magieverlust

Builds into Silence Wave, easy to use and great for 1v1s. Makes your burst way stronger.

III

Aktiv

Welle der Verstummung

Very strong at the moment, silence is very good against many characters and it reduces their resist. Just very good on you for your combo and works great against people like Mina and Pocket.

IV

Moloch

Great against gun carries and is good to pick up if you have no free slots.

IV

Transzendente Abklingzeit

Great item once you have 2 actives. It also makes Torment Pulse tick faster! Great upgrade to get after Scourge.

II

Mystische Schwachstelle

Upgrades into Escalating Exposure.

IV

Eskalierende Bloßstellung

This with Scourge is insane. You run into the middle of the enemy team with Scourge and they take like 2-4k damage. Also has shred and gives you even more spirit resist so you're even tankier.

IV

Aktiv

Ätherischer Schleier

Great on Calico, helps you live much longer. The cooldown for it is super short. Great with Transcendent CD.

IV

Magiebrand

Anti-heal + more burst damage. If you need to burst carries this is really useful.

II

Verbesserte Magiekraft

Upgrades into Boundless, helps with damage. I often skip this for a 6k item, since by this point you are usually tight on slots due to buying counters.

IV

Grenzenlose Magiekraft

Gives you some much needed damage in the late game with your ult and gloom bombs. Great if you are trying to oneshot their carries.

IV

Aktiv

Unaufhaltsam

Really great in late teamfights. Especially good if you are really struggling against CC. Or for midboss.

IV

Zauberbrecher

Incredible against Lash, Grey Talon, and any other spirit burst characters.

IV

Aktiv

Phantomschlag

Amazing for shutting down fliers and gun carries. And for getting on top of the people you need to target in team fights.

IV

Panzerrüstung

Great but usually only buy once you already have bullet resist. Great against Haze.

IV

Hexenpanzer

Very situational. Only get against lots of incremental spirit damage (McGinnis turrets, Infernus, Warden Ult) and have Spirit Resilience already.

IV

Aktiv

Koloss

Extra resists and health is great. Also works as an alternative upgrade for Extra Health.

III

Meisterhafte Ausdauer

fun item, good value, mmm mmmmovement. You could buy this in the mid game some time rather than getting resists perhaps.

IV

Aktiv

Fluch

If you need to screw over one enemy in particular.

IV

Aktiv

Fokuslinse

Some people like this for the additional damage and silence. Most people will just debuff remove it though so you won't get any damage unless you timed it really well.

III

Impuls-Regeneration

Kind of fun, but not very good. Adds up to a decent amount of heal in longer fights since Torment Pulse and Scourge easily procs it.

IV

Aktiv

Fliegender Teppich

Fun and silly! Also good escape tool. Just worse to get than other 6ks though.

III

Imbue [E]

Ansteigende Magiekraft

It's nice on your bombs. You like all the things it gives you. But before you get Arctic Blast, the bombs are inconsistent to hit, and your bombs don't have that good spirit scaling.

III

Aktiv

Verfall

I don't think this is really all that worth it compared to just getting Healbane. Since any person incredibly reliant on healing will just get Debuff Remover. But maybe get against Mo or Abrams.

III

Panzerschreck

You can only proc this on bombs if you can time them with the Arctic Blast bonus damage. But I don't like it since it's just awkward and there's better items to get imo by that point in the game.

II

Mystische Verlangsamung

Just feels really nice, makes it super easy to hit your ults second/end damage burst. Probably also nice against like Vyper.

IV

Unsterblichkeit

If you are actually like the only player on your team doing anything and you have like 65k souls you could get this.

III

Trophäensammler

DO NOT EVER BUILD THIS UNLESS YOU ARE 100% SURE YOU WILL GET LOTS OF STACKS. This is often a trap item, which puts you -3k souls down, without giving you anything much in return until later.

III

Aktiv

Metallhaut

This since it got buffed is actually kinda really good against some characters, especially Haze and Drifter. I'd get this as an alternative to Bullet Resilience or Plated Armor.

II

Aktiv

Heilendes Amulett

Really nice for the stamina. Healing got a big nerf so is meh now. Decent to pick up for general survivability.

II

Kampfweste

Kinda nice. The bullet resist is good and the weapon damage/fire rate is meh. I don't usually go this since I usually just rush Bullet Res, Return Fire, or Surpressor against gun problems

II

Waffenschild

It's nice, but I just prefer to go Return Fire or Suppressor or rush Bullet Resilience early.

III

Aktiv

Kultopfer

Got nerfed but is still fine. Good for farming as well, and upgrades from Monster Rounds which gets bought a lot.
