I

Mystische Explosion

Always first unless you NEED a regen item

I

Monster-Kugeln

You can swap for a vitality item, but the lane pressure here is excellent and it helps you farm

II

Arkane Verstärkung

Cracked on Viscous. Dash jump before Splatter for lane poke, Cube for more regen, PP for a long range disrupt and always for Goo Ball

II

Wappen des Zauberers

Literally the best aspects of the old Spirit Armor and Enchanter's Barrier. Before Stamina is fine too

II

Veredeln

Abklingzeitraffer

Always last in this section. Makes it so Goo Ball is always up for your rotations

I

Zusätzliche Lebenspunkte

Viscous does really well with health thanks to resists. This is more of a future setup item

I

Zusätzliche Regeneration

If you're getting lowish a lot, but you're currently at least half

I

Aktiv

Heilungsritus

If you're almost dead

III

Pulsierende Pein

I've been rushing this and it's really nice. Helps you farm faster, and still works before Goo Ball T5

III

Aktiv

Teleport-Stein

If you don't build any extra T1s, you'll get this about 1600 souls after Goo Ball T5

III

Meisterhafte Ausdauer

Don't sleep on Stamina Mastery. With Surge you have 6 stamina for 3 activations, crazy stamina recovery, good mobility and triple jump in Goo Ball

III

Seelenkraft

If you're feeling really squishy

III

Aktiv

Schwächungs­entferner

Honestly you could pretty much buy this every game, but it's especially good versus movement lockdown or silences. Seven, Warden, Vindicta come to mind

II

Heilungsfluch

Easy to apply with Torment Pulse, and that heal can be relevant. Antiheal still feels mandatory a lot of the time too

II

Magieschild

Barrier scales with Goo Ball resists

II

Aktiv

Feuererwiderung

Return damage calculated before resists, so M1s will take equal damage to you in Goo Ball

II

Veredeln

Verlängerte Dauer

Always buy unless you're slot locked (look for a T4 with duration tacked on)

III

Überlegene Dauer

I get this most games -- 6% extra duration for Goo Ball, also nice for Cube. But make sure you buy this if you get Scourge

III

Panzerschreck

Basically mandatory to do damage on Viscous late game

IV

Aktiv

Geißel

So. Much. Damage. Also strong against Spirit comps. Harder if they have flyers though

IV

Aktiv

Phantomschlag

Always get if they have more than 1 of: Seven, Bebop, Lash, Vindicta, Gray Talon. Disarm is also very good against Haze, Infernus, Wraith

III

Verstärkte Kugelrüstung

Reductive scaling means it's only 72%/84% in Goo Ball so only look for this if they are HEAVILY Bullet

III

Verstärkte Magierüstung

Reductive scaling means it's only 72%/84% in Goo Ball so only look for this if they are HEAVILY Spirit

III

Aktiv

Verfall

The damage is really good, but Healbane is much easier to apply AOE. I get this if they only have 1-2 problematic healers

III

Aktiv

Niederschlag

The only situation I would buy this over Phantom Strike is if you NEED it early and saving 6400 is not an option. Could be a second flyer hate item too

IV

Rüstung des Weissagers

If you're TIGHT on slots you probably want this over Duration Extender because you're probably also getting shredded

IV

Hexenpanzer

Love this item. Great versus Spirit heavy comps (but Scourge first usually)

IV

Panzerrüstung

The classic anti M1 item

IV

Magiebrand

So good. It does SO MUCH damage and 70% antiheal is insane. If you're ahead and want to snowball you could buy this as your first T4

IV

Grenzenlose Magiekraft

Raw damage bump. Great for Viscous. Pairs nicely with Spirit Burn too

IV

Aktiv

Fliegender Teppich

I think this item might be slept on. I would buy it more if Phantom Strike wasn't so damn good. The bonus stats are awesome and you can use it for mobility too

II

Verbesserte Magiekraft

I built this in lane for a long time, but I've found that your tower is usually down by 7000 or so souls and in that time I'd rather have Arcane Surge and Enchanter's Emblem

II

Aktiv

Kältefront

It just feels underwhelming to me most of the time. I'd generally just rather save up and get an early Torment Pulse

III

Größere Erweiterung

On paper Ability Range should be really good for Viscous. In practice though it makes Goo Ball basically unusuable in small rooms and it fucks up your Warp Stone distance
