I

Heilende Kugel

sustain and lane clear

I

Zusätzliche Magiekraft

gives us 17 spirit right away

II

Aktiv

Kältefront

good flat damage to combo with dash, look for good trades now and dash through them to safety to minimize damage taken, or just clear wave fast

I

Zusätzliche Aufladung

more knives, we should have ult/rage now so an extra knife is great to generate rage

II

Verbesserte Magiekraft

final damage component, can buy earlier if you need the out of combat healing

I

Mystische Explosion

more flat damage

II

Heilungsfluch

early hp bonus, big heal on kill, great for early fights. anti heal is nice too. sell for spirit burn late if needed

III

Pulsierende Pein

core damage, you do lots of damage if you can stay close so now we get greens. Can build decay if you don't want to get close

II

Aktiv

Feuererwiderung

very good early for strong gun heroes if you need to counter them, sell for metal skin when it falls off

II

Wappen des Zauberers

good stats for spirit shiv if early spirit is a problem, sell for spirit resilience

II

Reaktive Barriere

this item's pretty good if they have 3+ heroes who can proc it. Buy if you think it will have more value than return fire/enchanter's.

III

Aktiv

Teleport-Stein

chase/disengage tool. do not ignore the bullet resist when activating the item, should be enough for gun until you get metal skin

III

Gegenzauber

op if you remember to use it, blocks cc, spirit burst, and even ults if you're locked in. Also amazing for mid contest. Can delay if there's not much to parry or if need resists

III

Aktiv

Schwächungs­entferner

can skip if you really think you don't need but you will probably need this most games.

III

Aktiv

Metallhaut

prioritize this after warp if there's one fed gun hero or multiple gun heroes (will happen often), cycle this with warp stone for high uptime bullet resist

III

Verstärkte Magierüstung

heavy spirit team

III

Panzerschreck

more damage + rage on dash, will also proc on knife later.

III

Schnelle Aufladung

more knives, more dmg.

IV

Grenzenlose Magiekraft

damage up

IV

Transzendente Abklingzeit

gives insane uptime for warp and metal skin, at this point dash should be maxed for dash resets so bait into enclosed spaces for infinite dashes, also buffs our torment pulse

IV

Aktiv

Arktische Explosion

cc and gives great burst if used before dash

IV

Aktiv

Koloss

best raw defense item

IV

Moloch

best raw mitigation for gun damage heroes like warden, geist, vyper, viscous. Honestly feels better than plated

IV

Panzerrüstung

buy if there are 2+ heroes who mainly do damage through on hit effects, (infern, haze, wraith, etc.) or item bullet procs (tesla, toxic, lucky shot, inhibitor)

IV

Zauberbrecher

for spirit nukers that give you trouble (gt, lash, mina)

IV

Aktiv

Magische Infusion

strong lifesteal option if you have max dash. Bait enemies into hallways and other encosled areas and dash for massive heals.

IV

Magiebrand

strong anti heal. replace healbane

IV

Aktiv

Ätherischer Schleier

helps you stall for cooldowns and heals you

I

Aktiv

Heilungsritus

if you're too low in lane

III

Aktiv

Verfall

good anti heal and rage gen, good buy in place of torment pulse if they have multiple tanky heroes (abrams, bebop, geist, kelvin, mo)

IV

Veredeln

Mystischer Hall

if really ahead

III

Geschärftes Bajonett

just damage and slow

III

Bleikugeln

dmg, spirit res, debuff reduction, good if they have spirit and debuffs
