11/22 update: HUGE change to Sinclair's playstyle since the patch. Split pushing is now dead and active play is in. Max whatever ability you feel is best at 29k souls all 3 are viable options now. b
Feel free to ask me any questions on the Sinclair discord @RAIGEKI
4.8k spirit rush is a huge spike, buy rite if you need it to stay in lane otherwise only trade when you can rusted barrel + bolt someone to remove all their firerate. When we hit 7.7k souls we still one shot anyone so we time trophy with that spike.

Aktiv
Rostiger Lauf
Broken item for removing laning interaction and stays strong now that cultist doesn't give firerate. Upgrade to disarming hex if its a good game for it otherwise sell this for the slot later.


I
Zusätzliche Aufladung
Try to sync dropping assistant with 2 bolt charges until you have t2 bolt.


I
Zusätzliche Magiekraft
Early spirit good


III
Schnelle Aufladung
We get this earlier now because the 4.8k spirit spike is so crazy. At this point you will have 280 damage bolts and should be able to force the tower / force them out of lane.


III
Trophäensammler
Goated item now that early active play doesn't grief your teams souls. Time this buy with T3 bolt power spike and play active.


II
Wappen des Zauberers
early spirit good and gets us 4.8k green


III
Veredeln
Ansteigende Magiekraft
Big fat damage spike


I
Veredeln
Mystische Erweiterung
Needed to kill neutral camps with bolt, we can't take T3s as easily this patch as we could before but once you have T3 bolt + T2 assistant you can take them.
Usually in this order, focus lens is an insane item now and best enables you to run around collecting trophy stacks.


II
Verbesserte Magiekraft
Spirit good + investment breakpoint


II
Aktiv
Magieverlust
Builds into focus lens now. Big damage increase.


IV
Aktiv
Fokuslinse
Really sick item now that it builds from sap and shreds spirit. This item forces them to itemize against it or they will lose guaranteed.


III
Größere Erweiterung
Amazing for bolt / rabbit / actives and almost every ult you steal.


IV
Grenzenlose Magiekraft
Giga damage increase to everything and a lot of movespeed. You do not need more damage after this.

Kultopfer
Either this or alch fire is the best 3.2k imo, if you get this item I would max assistant at 29k.


II
Aktiv
Schnelle Stiefel
We move extremely fast so slow resist is really strong.
Split pushing is much worse in this new patch with the walker buffs. The soul split changes alongside the new 4.8k investment breakpoints make active early play better than ever and is how Sinclair should be played in my opinion.
Read annotations and buy off vibes


III
Überlegene Dauer
Insanely good item at this point in the game. Stolen ults / rabbit / focus lens all benefit big from this.


III
Überlegene Abklingzeit
Nerfed to the point that i don't like buying this until later in the game but if it goes this late you definitely want it.


IV
Transzendente Abklingzeit
Don't like buying this unless full actives.


IV
Veredeln
Aktiv
Echosplitter
Always broken with max rabbit.


IV
Aktiv
Geißel
Can throw on your beefiest gorilla against spirit heavy lineups. With greater expansion and sup duration this item is crazy. Can also pop this on yourself while channeling carpet.


IV
Aktiv
Fliegender Teppich
Still my favorite item on this hero but focus lens is too good right now to not rush instead.


IV
Aktiv
Göttlicher Schild
Good if getting owned by pocket / drifter / ivy ult


III
Aktiv
Alchemie-Feuer
High damage and a huge amount of bullet shred at this point in the game with how much spirit we buy.


I
Aktiv
Heilungsritus
best lane sustain option if you need it. New heal creeps are so OP though you can generally get away without this.


I
Widerstand
For the cavemen


II
Reaktiver Schild
Even though it got a huge CD nerf this item is still really good for spirit scaling heroes like us. Against bebop / haze / paradox / abrams you should almost always buy this.


III
Aktiv
Schwächungsentferner
Very important item in current meta due to the prevalence of focus lens, if they are buying it you have to buy this.


III
Aktiv
Teleport-Stein
cheap alternative to carpet and also amazing to enable certain ultimates (dynamo, lash, infernus)


III
Mystischer Schleier
Still a really good item. Can replace trophy with this if you don't think its a good game for trophy.


III
Aktiv
Metallhaut
Best anti gun hero item on this hero and often necessary to use seven and warden ults properly. Now that capacitor is nerfed this and disarming hex are by far our best anti gun tools.


II
Aktiv
Fluch der Langsamkeit
Needed to kill some elusive heroes. Never upgrade to Vortex.


III
Aktiv
Verfall
Good vs tanky lineups


III
Aktiv
Fluch der Entwaffnung
Absurdly strong vs gun heavy lineups. Low cd and benefits from the duration we buy.
