Item Build
Early Game
Buy left to right. If you lower the Bullet Resistance of the enemy, it means you'll deal more Melee Damage to them! If you feel like you'll parry a lot, get Rebuttal in the Parrying section! Upon acquiring Express Shot, use your Alt-Fire (RMB) to deal big damage! Just remember to wait 3s between shots to get its effect! Use it after a Heavy Melee!
After not shooting for 3s, your next bullet is doubled and deals a lot more damage. Use your Alt-Fire (RMB) to deal a burst of damage!
Lane Extras
Buy one of those items to remain in lane and not miss out on souls! Sell the item you picked later. Melee Lifesteal works with Puddle Punch (3). Extra Regen is the most passive option. Resto Locket will allow you to regain 2 stamina upon use!
Mid Game
Buy left to right. Use a mix of Melee, Alt-Fire and Puddle Punch (3) to deal damage, heal and debuff your enemies! Once you get Phantom Strike, you'll be able to burst down your enemies! If you are able to time parries well, grab Counterspell as it'll make you able to parry many ultimate abilities!
Upon hitting a hero with melee, you'll deal spirit damage, steal their spirit power and resistance! Resulting in the enemy getting weaker and you getting stronger! Can be done with Puddle Punch (3).
A large increase in melee damage. Will also improve your healing, and put a big slow on the enemy. Works with Puddle Punch (3).
Your melee attacks lower the bullet resistance of the enemy, and gives you some ammo. Each hit creates stacks, at max stack, you'll stun the enemy! Works with Puddle Punch (3).
Parrying
If you are confident in your parries, then these will help you dish out more damage and increase your survivability by a considerable amount.
Late Game
You can buy left to right, or pick whatever you deem necessary after getting Transcendent Cooldown. Don't forget to get an Active as it'll allow you to deal with many different threats by either gaining resistances, movement, CC, healing and more!
Survival
If you find yourself dying easily or taking too much damage, consider one (or more) of those items! Since the rework, Barriers work with Resistances.
If you take too much GUN damage in quick succession, this item will grant you a nice Barrier to help you survive!
If you take too much SPIRIT damage in quick succession or a big burst of damage, this item will grant you a nice Barrier to help you survive!
Grants you decent Barrier when you get CC'd, including when you get Parried! Useful against Mirage's Tornado, Bebop's Hook, Abrams' Charge, Haze's Sleep and more!
Removes Bebop's Bomb, Infernus' Burn, Vindicta's Tether, Mirage's Tornado, and more! NO LONGER removes Pocket's Affliction.
Gain a chance to ignore bullet effects when you get shot. You also have a chance to deflect bullets back.
Actives
Those actives are extremely powerful items to gain the edge against the enemy. If you frontline a lot, Focus Lens is useful if enemies tend to escape before you finish them off. Do not buy Return Fire if you have Juggernaut. Recommendation: Return Fire or Scourge.
Grants you some slow resistance and allows you to run faster upon use. Useful if the enemy has a lot of slows!
This gives you more melee damage for 8s after you come out of invisibility! Use it for a sneaky heavy melee hit on some unsuspecting player!
Deflect a portion of damage taken for a few seconds. You need to have Line of Sight for the deflect to work. Sell if you have Juggernaut.
Can be used to heal yourself (And an ally!) a large amount of health. You can also pull an ally to you. Also works when your Ally is in The Cube (2).
Become immune to any form of Crowd Control for a few seconds. You cannot get parried while this is active!
Grants you a large amount of max HP passively, but also a decent amount of resistances, and a slowing aura upon activation.
Gain a large amount of Spirit Resistance and an Area of Effect around you that deals damage to enemies near based off their Max Health. Can be applied to an Ally! This can replace Torment Pulse.
Anti-Healing
If you feel like that Crippling Headshot isn't enough to reduce the enemy's healing consider one of those! Healbane is the cheapest and can be triggered by dealing Spirit Damage! Recommendation: Healbane.
Situational & Counters
These items will help you have a better time against specific enemies or simply allow you to modify your gameplay to something that fits you more. Keep in mind that these items are NOT part of the build. Decay, Silence Wave, Knockdown and Curse are powerful actives that can be bought to counter specific heroes.
Every 8s, your next bullet will deal a burst of spirit damage. Be mindful that it'll go on cooldown even if you miss. Can be used for various combos with the Alt Fire.
Prioritize using this on a Tier 3 Neutral enemy to gain plenty of souls upon use. This also grants you various useful buffs!
Grants you more damage when you're really close to your enemies! Your close range gun damage/melee damage will also slow down your enemies.
This works with Puddle Punch (3) but the enemy needs to not be looking at you. The angle of the Punch does not matter as long as they aren't looking at you. |Can be skipped or sold for a slot|
When you are at high health, you'll deal more bullet damage! Which means more melee damage! You also lower the enemy's bullet resistance when hitting them with bullets, not melee.
Increase your damage but also your spirit resistance and debuff resistance! If you get Debuff Remover, you'll resist CCs and Debuffs a lot more!
Your bullets will charge up Spirit Power for more damage with Splatter (1) and actives such as Cold Front or Arctic Blast.
You become very resilience to spirit damage when below half health. You also gain movement speed which helps you escape delicate situations.
Extra Bullet Damage & Fire rate when you are above 65% health. Useful if you find yourself in need of some Bullet Resistance.
Extra Spirit & Cooldown reduction when you are above 65% health. Useful if you find yourself in need of some Spirit Resistance.
Lowers the duration of Infernus' Burn, Mirage's Tornado, any form of stuns or immobilize and more. This includes the stun when you get Parried!
Grants you a large amount of health regen when you don't take damage for 12s. This means you don't have to go to base to heal!
Become immune to bullet damage upon use for 4s! Useful against Haze, Wraith and more. Can be paired with Return Fire!
Lowers the fire rate of an enemy. Useful against gun oriented characters like Vyper, Haze, Infernus, Wraith and more.
Blocks a target's movement abilities and movement items (Like Warp Stone) for a short duration. Use it BEFORE they use their movement ability.
Lower the enemy's Bullet Resistance when hit them with Spirit Damage. This means more Melee Damage against them!
Disarm a hero for 4 seconds and lower their bullet resistance. A hard counter to Haze, Wraith, Vyper and Infernus!
Throw a wave forward that silences, lowers spirit resistance and their spirit power. Useful against Yamato, Geist, Lash, Pocket, and many more.
Allows you to stun an enemy. Brings down flying characters very quickly. Useful against Seven, Bebop and more.
