Veredeln

Abklingzeitraffer

After the nerf on T2 Dome, this item has become even more necessary. Dome has the potential to completely change teamfights and you need it as frequently as possible.

I

Zusätzliche Regeneration

Prerequisite to Healing Booster, so don't feel bad buying this as early as you need.

I

Aktiv

Heilungsritus

Buy every game, sooner or later. Can buy earlier in lane if especially low.

II

Stiefel des Dauerläufers

Very strong item that allows for quick rotations; also allows for faster movement in a teamfight

II

Aktiv

Schnelle Stiefel

Really strong tempo buy on Kelvin can buy instead or in conjunction with Enduring Speed.

III

Aktiv

Teleport-Stein

Warp Stone -> dome is OP, especially in midboss or if you need to save an ally. Also provides insane survivability.

II

Wappen des Zauberers

Provides stats that are all very valuable on Kelvin. Try to have this by the time you start roaming.

II

Heilverstärkung

Insanely strong item on Kelvin, buy this every game.

II

Aktiv

Schutzwache

Can provide that extra bit of sustain that can save a teammate, & the move speed allows for escapes. Range is a very valuable stat on Kelvin as well.

III

Überlegene Abklingzeit

Kelvin's strength is largely based on his cooldowns. The extra 1600 to buy Sup CD isn't necessary to rush, but it gives nades more frequently and allows you to be more present on the map with your 2.

I

Veredeln

Mystische Erweiterung

Allows for more consistent domes, valuable both when isolating fights with teammates, or in big teamfights.

II

Veredeln

Verlängerte Dauer

Relatively self-explanatory, more duration both provides more regen (as dome is healing/sec) & allows for more time to kill in dome.

III

Schnelle Aufladung

Will usually only buy if slot locked, or if the game becomes late enough. Would really try to avoid until max nade.

III

Größere Erweiterung

Will really only buy this if slot locked or if it becomes late enough. Does provide significant value for items such as Alch Fire & Healing Nova

III

Überlegene Dauer

Buy only when slotlocked or when you have mutliple debuffs/buffs that scale with duration (i.e. Silence Wave, Divine Barrier, Healing Tempo)

IV

Transzendente Abklingzeit

Buy when locked for slots, or once you get to 2+ actives (especially Divine Barrier or Refresher)

IV

Heilungstempo

Situational item that can be very powerful when you have a very strong m1 carry or multiple m1 carries. Would recommend buying Superior Duration alongside it for the buff to last longer.

III

Aktiv

Rettungs­strahl

Important buy if they have a lot of catch/pick. Allows for teammates to take risky plays if you are hovering them.

III

Aktiv

Heilungswelle

Provides teamwide healing for cheap (like a mini dome). Will buy often in teamfight heavy comps.

III

Aktiv

Heroische Aura

Insanely strong item to support your M1 carries or if the enemy team has significant gun damage. Also provides 2m/s sprint speed which is very valuable to roam.

III

Aktiv

Alchemie-Feuer

Very strong for damage & shred. One of the best items in the game in the mid pit, try to tempo buy it if you are forcing midboss.

IV

Aktiv

Göttliche Barriere

Must buy against Pocket (get this ASAP), & will often buy against Drifter for his ult. Also very strong against characters like Shiv & Infernus with DoTs & buildups.

IV

Aktiv

Auffrischer

Refresher can be very strong, but the death timers need to be long enough where that second dome is worth more than having a 6k for the 300 seconds it would be on cooldown. Grows stronger the later.

II

Heilungsfluch

Fantastic item, necessary against characters with strong sustain/healing output (i.e. Victor (MUST BUY), Dynamo, Warden, Abrams, Mo, etc. check for lifesteal)

II

Unterdrückung

Can buy in lane if against 2 m1s, or buy later if they have a lot of m1 carries.

II

Mystische Schwachstelle

Buy late game if they have a lot of spirit resist. Consider Spirit Sap or Silence Wave instead if against a single target.

II

Reduzierte Kugelresistenz

Very strong if you have multiple gun/melee characters.

III

Aura des Jägers

Really strong if isolating people in domes with your gun/melee characters (they will literally explode with -24% bullet resist). Underbought item

II

Aktiv

Fluch der Langsamkeit

Strong into any characters with movement abilities (over half of the roster), and even those without, as the dash distance reduction really hinders movement.

II

Aktiv

Magieverlust

Generally buy this as a prerequisite to Silence Wave, but it does provide very strong value on its own if you or the enemy have strong spirit damage.

III

Aktiv

Verfall

Very strong damage & antiheal, can also be good for forcing debuff remover.

III

Aktiv

Welle der Verstummung

Has a lot of overlap with Slowing Hex, with its greatest value being against those who require Silence to survive (i.e. for movement abilities, or for Geist/Yamato for their ults)

III

Aktiv

Fluch der Entwaffnung

Provides strong shred for gun carries, but only buy if they have a strong m1 that can't be shut down (i.e. Gun Holliday, Ivy, Wraith)

III

Aktiv

Niederschlag

Great against Seven, Lash, Vindicta, Ivy, Grey Talon, Mo & Krill (when stunned out of burrow, he just dies), Bebop, and Dynamo

IV

Aktiv

Fluch

Great against strong teamfight ults, any buffs (e.g. Viscous Cube), or to shut down carries.

III

Gegenzauber

Great against Lash, Geist, Shiv, and comps that are strong in burst or CC.

III

Verstärkte Magierüstung

Buy if they have strong sustained spirit damage (consider counterspell for burst characters).
