I

Kopfschuss-Verstärker

Actually W lane item in ANY patch. Massive poke when combined with whip.

I

Zusätzliche Magiekraft

Cheap good spirit early on. You can buy burst instead aswell if you prefer but it can be tricky to hit 80 damage

II

Imbue [E]

Quecksilber-Nachlader

This item is still very solid early, but falls off after lane. It still pairs nicely with the gun items as it lets you reload and keep applying pressure. Sell if needed.

I

Mystische Explosion

Burst is super nice early. You prefer to use this when you're whipping for extra heal, but any proc is damage.

I

Imbue [E]

Mystische Erweiterung

[Apparently Fixed (but not visually)] This item really grew on me. Massive whip in lane allows you to pretty much never miss

I

Zusätzliche Aufladung

I personally use my grapple a fuck ton in lane so I prio this early. You can sell this after reaching T3 Grapple

II

Mystische Kugel

Really solid. Lets you get 4.8k invest when paired with headhunter. This is generally quite tricky to land, but if you wait until the knock-up from your slam, you basically get a free proc.

III

Kopfjäger

This just upgrades off headshot booster, I am TIRED of talking about the 4.8k investment but this does give you it.

I

Zusätzliche Regeneration

Still my personal favourite lane healing item. Buy this whenever you are dying in lane too hard.

II

Aktiv

Fluch der Langsamkeit

Still my favourite item into Mina / Wraith / Vindicta. Stopping people from using movement abilities will absolutely get you a kill, especially if you notice these characters escaping stupid shit alot

II

Heilungsfluch

Generalist buy, PLEASE replace with enchanters / reactive depending on lane

III

Meisterhafte Ausdauer

Buy this whenever you feel you need it. I like to prioritise damage upgrades until i feel like i'm getting caught out a lot, though recently I've been buying it more often

III

Panzerschreck

Tankbuster is generally a really good buy, however buying it too early doesn't really give you that much more damage (as their health has not scaled much). Buy if no slots

III

Überlegene Abklingzeit

This item is basically a must if you want sustained damage in teamfights. Cycling your abilities 20% faster is huge and will let you play a lot more agressive

III

Größere Erweiterung

Struggling to land ults? This helps massively. You can absolutely go without it but it does give you a LOT more range on it.

IV

Aktiv

Fliegender Teppich

Unironically my favourite item for lash right now. -15% gravity means you can walljump at height limit PERMANENTLY, which means you can wait and hit a max distance slam EVERY TIME.

IV

Aktiv

Auffrischer

More lash ults = good. Core to being a strong lategame player, land those ults! Feel free to buy much earlier if you're having a rough game. Just pivot to being an ultbot and you'll be fine.

IV

Imbue [E]

Mystischer Hall

Imbue on slam. Extra damage + slow is very potent and the lifesteal is actually really solid too. You can replace this item with the choices (if wanted)

III

Aktiv

Magie der Entzauberung

Insane Item. I sometimes prefer counterspell but if they're slowing hex'ing you or hitting you with capacitor, this is an absolute MUST buy. PLEASE buy this item if you need it

II

Reaktive Barriere

Laning someone with stuns? Buy this. (Bebop / Abrams / Krill etc). Buy grit first if you are going down this

II

Wappen des Zauberers

Great item if both laners are spirit, or you see 4+ spirit characters in the tab menu.

IV

Grenzenlose Magiekraft

Still very decent. Gives consistant spirit power AND a percentile spirit boost. This also scales mystic shot quite massively, which is why I buy it over other spirit items

IV

Schröpfende Kugeln

Even though gun lash & greens got nerfed, this is still a very solid buy. If the enemy team has a lot of characters with high hp (4k+), you get crazy value

IV

Magiebrand

Very nice anti heal and decent damage. I'd usually replace healbane with this lategame if I ended up buying it

IV

Verkrüppelnder Kopfschuss

Lowers armours. Good if the enemy has a lot of resistances. Also gives you more gun spike, which is crazy rn

IV

Aktiv

Unaufhaltsam

"I keep getting stunned out of my ult by one guy and im really fucked off about it". PLEASE start buying this if you are getting stunned! I know it's not flashy but it is NECESSARY some games

IV

Aktiv

Fokuslinse

Simply better than curse for lash. This builds off Spirit Sap so I would upgrade that if you can. You can sell slowing hex for this if you still need anti (ability) movement lategame

IV

Imbue [E]

Wilde Magnum

If you want an excuse to keep QSR but you need an upgrade for slots here it is. Imbue on 3.

IV

Transzendente Abklingzeit

This is okay, but mainly to fill flex slots. Unless you have more then one or two actives then feel free to delay buying this and invest into spikes

III

Schnelle Aufladung

This isn't great. I'd only buy this if you really can't live with two grapples lategame or if you're REALLY cucked on flex slots

III

Verstärkte Magierüstung

I actually think you can make an argument for this item now

IV

Zauberbrecher

With the recent changes it makes sense to buy Spirit Resilience over this sometimes, but I generally prefer this overall because of the heavy debuff resist attached

III

Aktiv

Metallhaut

Goat anti-gun. Try not to use this when you're running because of the movespeed penalty, use it when you're stuck to the ground for any reason and there's a gun carry looking at you.

IV

Panzerrüstung

This item's alright, but i'd only buy it if a proc-based gun character is overfarmed (Haze, Infernus ETC.). Otherwise just get metal skin

III

Gegenzauber

Amazing item for general use. If you are locked in enough to parry abilities buy it. if there's a lot of hard to parry debuffs just buy dispel magic

III

Aktiv

Teleport-Stein

Glorpstone is still an incredible escape item, use it to teleport to rooftops when you're out of stamina when running / get behind cover.

III

Aktiv

Raketenstiefel

Still my favourite roaming tool after all these patches. This allows you to change lanes incredibly quickly, but sacrifices the survivability of glorpstone

I

Aktiv

Gottvertrauen

This is very good if you're already buying reactive

II

Trophäen-Sammler

This is good if you're REALLY stomping

IV

Unbezwingbar

I would really just buy unstoppable. I know a few people who prefer this but generally dispel magic / unstoppable covers me

I

Widerstand

Mr Parrylock Special

III

Imbue [E]

Ballistische Verzauberung

This item gotta be good on whip, buffed too

IV

Glückstreffer

idk man add a billion damage

IV

Verstummer

REMOVE abilities

III

Magieriss

kinda crazy if they got a lot of resistance. Just keep headshotting

II

Antimagische Kugeln

Builds into spirit rend

IV

Moloch

Actually incredibly good if you're winning. Makes diving in a lot less risky and you end up being a powerhouse if you get this + Remover

III

Aktiv

Kultopfer

This is an alternative to Trophy collector. If you can't get stacks on trophy buy this. Gives you the health and movespeed but sacrifices the free souls

I

Stiefel des Sprinters

Read trophy hunter. Only buy if you're running it

II

Magielebensraub

Builds into infuser

II

Schwächungs­reduzierer

Builds into spellbreaker

I

Zusätzliche Ausdauer

stamina type shit (upgrades into stamina mastery)

II

Aktiv

Kältefront

Still good. It can feel like it's doing nothing sometimes but when you start landing it multiple times you'll be thankful you have it. Slam -> Cold Front -> Whip is your combo

II

Imbue [E]

Abklingzeitraffer

Imbue whatever you use most. 1, 2, 3, and 4 all valid

III

Giftige Kugeln

There was a time where I would run this over headhunter, but I find that the nerfs were pretty brutal to it

III

Verstärkte Kugelrüstung

Metal skin is better

IV

Aktiv

Verfluchtes Relikt

Fun item. Buy if one person is really pissing you off or you really just dont like someone that day

IV

Aktiv

Magische Infusion

Still very strong for healing. Hit this button then slam and whip and you are full HP.

IV

Aktiv

Arktische Explosion

Really nice item for followups. Locks them in place so with your slam -> whip -> Arctic combo you can get most people killed in a teamfight.

III

Seelenkraft

This item is actually fine now but I want to take a moment out of my time to realise that I have been updating this build for months but it was on the wrong one.. oops..

III

Aktiv

Welle der Verstummung

Doesnt build from sap anymore, going in the bin unless you really like silence wave

II

Aufladbare Kugeln

This is for T2 grapple, where you get a flat +7 damage to your gun every time you use it. This gives you slightly less burst then mystic, but a massive amount more mobility and consistent damage

IV

Zauberschütze

The lash gun meta is real and you cant deny its presence. Buy this if they dont have resistances (unlikely) and crippling isnt your thing

II

Aktiv

Magieverlust

If you're laning early and you see both laners buy resist, this is worth getting. This also builds into Focus Lens now, which makes it very viable to keep into lategame, because lens is good :)
