left to right / any order. sustain then damage.


I
Heilende Kugel
gives you healing AND gun damage, being able to sustain in lane is very important.


I
Nahkampflebensraub
procs on boot kick, melee troopers for lifesteal, builds into lifestrike which is a great item for sustain.


I
Zusätzliche Regeneration
good quality of life item to have, with all the other items you should now be unkillable in lane if you play it correctly.


I
Nahbereich
more gun damage early is always good.


III
Schnellschuss
HUGE POWERSPIKE! use in conjunction with your [SLAM FIRE] ability for massive damage. great for getting your ult sooner.


I
Zusätzliche Ausdauer
frees you from 2 stamina prison, helps you dodge stuff in lane. makes ganking other lanes easier.
any order. continue >


III
Heilender Nahkampf
you heal a LOT from this item! keeps sustain up, use your 2 on enemies for heals and use light melees VERY sparingly during ult.


II
Stiefel des Dauerläufers
more resists against movement slow is good during fights.


II
Hemmende Kugeln
can skip!! movespeed slow is desireable in ult form. sell late game if needed
read annotations


III
Pulsierende Pein
skip (and buy hunter's aura) if you have great aim and never miss your shots, otherwise buy this for more consistent damage.


III
Aura des Jägers
good debuffs that encourage taking 1v1s. debuffs work on camps too, increasing farming speed
left to right / any order. can skip BRS


II
Heilverstärkung
great upgrade from extra regen! boosts life steal in ult and lifestrike healing. can sell later.


II
Reduzierte Kugelresistenz
can skip!! good cheap bullet resist shred, procs using torment pulse/boot kick/bola, gets you to that 4.8k spirit spike if you bought torment pulse.


III
Geschärftes Bajonett
good gun damage improvement, adds even more movement slow to your bullets.


III
Meisterhafte Ausdauer
great for catching people while in ult form alongside slowing bullets.
pick 1 or 2


III
Verstärkte Magierüstung
good against team with heavy spirit damage. look to get spellbreaker after, if necessary.


III
Aktiv
Metallhaut
good against a team with tons of gun damage. buy bullet resillience for consistent coverage instead if you wish.


III
Aktiv
Teleport-Stein
recommended to buy alongside spirit res or metal skin! along with your 2, gives your character great movement and escapability. alternatively, check out phantom strike.
L > R / any order. read annotations


IV
Inhibitor
this item is BROKEN right now, anyone you fight against gets mega nerfed by the dmg penalty and healing reduction. bonus health and weapon dmg is very good too.


IV
Verstummer
weakens any hero you fight that uses spirit based abilities against you.


IV
Raserei
gives you a second wind whenever you're half hp or lower.


IV
Aktiv
Unaufhaltsam
if you're consistently getting hit by cc/stuns/roots in ult form, pick this item up to become immune to EVERYTHING thrown at you (except damage)
read annotations. buy these items any time, or simply ignore if you wish.


I
Aktiv
Heilungsritus
bonus healing in lane.


II
Schwächungsreduzierer
good quality of life item to have, makes being hit by cc/stuns/roots more bearable, upgrades into spellbreaker/unstoppable which is also very good.


III
Gegenzauber
if you don't know what this item is good for, don't buy it.


III
Verstärkte Kugelrüstung
alternative to metal skin.


III
Berserker
you get weapon damage stacks very easily in ult, buy if you just want more damage in ult. skip if your damage is fine / slotlocked


IV
Zauberbrecher
DELETES spirit burst damage dealt to you (e.g. grey talon arrow, yamato power slash, etc). very good green to have.


IV
Moloch
good upgrade from enduring speed, is another useful item against teams that are mostly gun builds.


IV
Panzerrüstung
if you're fighting a full team of gun shredders and metal skin won't be enough.


IV
Aktiv
Phantomschlag
buy in place of warp stone if you want to play really aggro and teleport on any enemy to kill them easier.


II
Nahkampfansturm
punchy :3


IV
Zermalmende Fäuste
mega punchy >:3
The main thing you will need to know is that your ultimate ability [LYCAN CURSE] turns you into an OP beast and activates after you deal a certain amount of damage to the enemy, so take advantage of the bonus health/resists to dive on somebody and kill them. Make sure to look for fights ONLY when your ult is available! During teamfights, look to sneak up on someone from the side or run in headfirst if you're ahead- look to do as much damage as possible for your ult before the enemies can shut you down. For how this build is structured specifically: the early game focuses on survivability/damage in lane, the mid game focuses on getting your core spirit/gun items, and the late game focuses on getting your shred/anti-heal/damage reduction items.
