I

Mystische Explosion

Always first unless you NEED a regen item

I

Monster-Kugeln

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

II

Arkane Verstärkung

Might be one of the best T2s on Viscous. Always for Goo Ball, often for Splatter, sometimes for the others

II

Wappen des Zauberers

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

II

Imbue [E]

Abklingzeitraffer

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

I

Heilende Kugel

Kind of a nice semi defensive item

I

Nahkampf­lebensraub

This has been my regen pick atm. If you buy, could be worth an early point in PP

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

Panzerschreck

Ok this item is insane now. Buy it before it gets nerfed. Built in scaling

II

Imbue [E]

Verlängerte Dauer

Always buy unless you're slot locked (I usually go for Kevlar instead)

II

Schwächungs­reduzierer

Hard to find a game where this isn't good

II

Heilungsfluch

Easy to apply, and antiheal feels pretty mandatory still

II

Unterdrückung

Only got a minor nerf as compared to Return Fire. Not as good late though

II

Aktiv

Magieverlust

This might be the anti Spirit tech right now. Got a nice buff

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

IV

Magiebrand

Now much easier to proc if you have Tankbuster. This is your item if you want to just do damage

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, Vyper, Warden

IV

Aktiv

Geißel

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

III

Seelenkraft

Raw health goes really well with Goo Ball resists

III

Verstärkte Kugelrüstung

Beware of reductive scaling. But still really good

III

Verstärkte Magierüstung

Beware of reductive scaling. But still really good

III

Aktiv

Schwächungs­entferner

Pretty much always a safe buy. Especially if you bought Debuff Reducer

III

Aktiv

Welle der Verstummung

If you've ever been silence waved you know how annoying this is

IV

Panzerrüstung

The classic anti M1 item

IV

Hexenpanzer

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

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

Aktiv

Unaufhaltsam

If you're getting silence or movement locked a lot. Also Dynamo

IV

Transzendente Abklingzeit

I don't buy this much. If you have 2-3 actives and a couple items with passive CDs it can be good, but otherwise it just doesn't feel worth it

IV

Aktiv

Fluch

Sometimes there's just one huge problem on their team

IV

Grenzenlose Magiekraft

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

IV

Eskalierende Bloßstellung

If you already have Scourge and/or Spirit Burn this will make them HURT

IV

Aktiv

Magische Infusion

Smashing this can actually do a ton when you're in the middle of their team
