Item Build
#Citadel_HeroBuilds_EarlyGame
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! Don't be afraid to get a Lane Extra item if you're struggling. Just sell it later!
Helps you hold your lane and kill Troopers faster. If you run out of slots, sell this first! |Can be sold for a slot|
Allows your Puddle Punch (3) to restore about ~100hp when you hit a hero. |Upgrade into: Lifestrike|
Lane Extras
Buy one of those if you struggle in lane, then sell it later (Or upgrade it!). Extra Regen is your most passive choice that'll always work. Rusted Barrel can apply a lot of pressure.
#Citadel_HeroBuilds_MidGame
Buy left to right. Use a mix of Melee, Gun and Puddle Punch (3) to deal damage, heal and debuff your enemies! Feel free to buy a Survival Item or an Active item to empower yourself in the way you want! Sell Monster Rounds for a slot!
The out of combat regen will help with sustain, while the sprint speed can help you move around! |Upgrade into: Enduring Speed|
Melee hits (Along with Puddle Punch) can trigger this! Meaning you get a charge back after a Puddle Punch (3)! |Can be sold late game for a slot|
Some resist shredding, and damage, but only at high health. Thankfully, Lifestrike will keep you topped up!
Parrying
If you can time parries well, Rebuttal will help you punish enemies who mostly focus on meleeing. Counterspell will allow you to parry so many things, you'll survive a lot more!
#Citadel_HeroBuilds_LateGame
Buy in any order. These items will help you end the match! You can also consider an active to counter any enemy you have difficulties handling. If you're struggling with slots, just upgrade your current items! Shadow Weave is Optional.
You'll take a lot of Spirit Damage late game, so this will proc a lot, granting you a lot more charges of Puddle Punch (3)!
Lowers the duration of Infernus' Burn, any form of stuns, silence, immobilize and more. |Upgrade into: Spellbreaker|
Survival
If you find yourself dying easily, taking too much damage, or getting CC'd too much, consider one (or more) of those items! They'll help you deal with various threats.
Taking too much GUN damage, too quickly? Take this. It'll give you a nice Barrier and out of combat regen.
Taking too much SPIRIT damage? Take this. This item will grant you a nice Barrier and out of combat regen.
Survival, sustain, cooldown reduction and damage! Keep as long as possible, then replace with better resistance.
Actives
Those actives are extremely powerful items to gain the edge against the enemy. Do not buy Return Fire once you have Juggernaut. Recommendation: Warp Stone, Phantom Strike, Scourge, Cursed Relic.
You need to have Line of Sight for the deflect to work. Sell once you get Juggernaut. Very useful against gun-oriented characters like Haze, Drifter, Wraith and Vyper!
You cannot get stunned by parries while this is active! (Damage will still be negated) Consider it if enemies have a lot of CC.
REMEMBER: Punch first before using this to trigger Spirit Snatch when you have it, and lower the enemy's resistance! |Upgrade into: Arctic Blast|
Debuffs
These items will help you reduce the enemy's resistances, reduce their healing, reduce their damage or even completely disabling them. Read annotations!
If you tend to use your gun a lot, this will help deal with tanky enemies such as: Shiv, Abrams, Silver, Mo&Krill, Victor, and more.
Lowers the damage of Spirit heroes by hitting them. Silencing them is also beneficial. Very useful against Victor.
You'll trigger this with Splatter (1) and Spirit Strike/Snatch. Useful against anyone. This can be used against Victor.
Reducing their Bullet resist, means more melee damage. Spirit Strike/Snatch along with Splatter (1), will trigger this with ease.
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.
Use this to do some Heavy Melee Cancels! After starting a heavy melee, activate Fleetfoot to cancel it! This will allow you to trick your opponent.
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. |Sell during Mid Game|
Use it with your Right Click to deal a nice burst of damage! You can Right Click after landing Heavy Melee to make sure it hits!
Health but also Stamina upon use. Only take if you tend to frontline a lot and facing ability-spamming enemies.
Useful against: Calico, Infernus, Grey Talon, Kelvin, Lash, Mina, Pocket, Vindicta, Vyper and Wraith.
Useful against: Haze, Wraith, Drifter, Infernus, Mina, Mirage, McGinnis, Seven, Vindicta, Vyper, and Warden.
