I

Melee Lifesteal

Great healing in lane from punching minions. And we upgrade this into Lifestrike. Procs on your 2 as well! You can upgrade this into Lifestrike during lane if you really need the sustain.

I

Spirit Strike

A bunch of extra damage on our 2 and punches. We upgrade this to Spirit Snatch.

I

Extra Health

Extra health is great in lane and we upgrade this to Fortitude later.

I

Extra Stamina

Movement! We upgrade this into Kinetic Dash. You can replace this with Sprint Boots if you are rotating with cat form heavily.

II

Melee Charge

Melee damage is really fun. We upgrade this into Crushing Fists.

II

Active

Cold Front

Adds to your burst damage, and the slow is great. We also can upgrade this into Arctic Blast.

I

Monster Rounds

Great if enemies are pushing to your tower.

I

Extra Regen

Great if you need constant healing. You can upgrade this into Healing Booster and then Healing Tempo.

I

Active

Healing Rite

Great for healing if you get really low in lane. Sprint speed is also nice for rotating.

I

Sprint Boots

Must buy if you are boxmaxxing with your cat form or rotating in cat form a lot.

I

Rebuttal

Incredible against Viscous in lane since it works against Viscous Puddle Punches. Also a very good item against people building melee (usually Abrams).

I

Imbue

Mystic Expansion

Quality of Life for your 2 if you struggle to hit it.

III

Torment Pulse

Great damage over the course of a game/fight. And makes you a little tankier.

II

Kinetic Dash

Amazing for ammo since it gives a flat amount rather than a percentage. Super good for pushing objectives. If you are boxmaxxing go Enduring Speed instead.

III

Lifestrike

Tons of healing from your 2 and melees. Keeps you alive in fights. It's 200+ health heal on a 4 sec CD.

III

Spirit Snatch

Spirit resist and power steal is amazing. Plus even more melee damage and it procs on your 2. Great damage over the course of a game.

III

Fortitude

The move speed is great for rotating, the heal lets you stay on the map longer, and the weapon damage is really nice. Can purchase earlier if you are low and near secret shop.

II

Debuff Reducer

You could replace this with Resto Locket potentially, or buy both. Just a great item, reduces the stun from being parried. You can build this into Debuff Remover vs certain characters.

III

Berserker

Great for damage and bullet resist. Don't go if you're not surviving long enough in fights to make use of it.

III

Hunter's Aura

Resist shred is always great. Makes you very strong in 1v1s. You could just skip for AB/Scourge here instead if they have no gun carries that are an issue.

IV

Crushing Fists

Big powerspike. You can rush earlier if you are doing well. If you aren't having success with melee you could skip this and go into more of a spirit build.

II

Weakening Headshot

Easy to proc. Increases yours and your teams damage. Upgrades to Crippling Headshot which is great in the late game.

III

Counterspell

Great against almost everything in the game. Especially Lash.

III

Active

Debuff Remover

Must buy against Seven, Warden, Infernus, Mirage, Vindicta, and a couple others.

III

Bullet Resilience

If you need anti-bullet.

III

Spirit Resilience

If you need anti-spirit.

II

Enchanter's Emblem

Great for spirit resist and Cooldown reduction is really rare so this is a great item since it gives you some.

II

Enduring Speed

If you are boxmaxxing with cat form then buy this. The slow resist is also good if that is being an issue.

II

Active

Restorative Locket

Really good at the moment. Scales super well. And gives stamina.

II

Active

Return Fire

Great against gun carries. Gives you tons of survivability.

II

Reactive Barrier

Nice in some lanes such as against Bebop.

II

Healbane

Easy to proc anti-heal. The heal on kill is also really great during midgame fights.

II

Suppressor

Great at stopping gun carries. Easy to proc and can go on many people.

III

Active

Disarming Hex

Amazing if you are getting destroyed by a gun carry.

II

Active

Slowing Hex

Good against Lash, Pocket, and movement focused people.

III

Active

Decay

Incredible item for damage and healing reduction. Great item for anti-heal and stopping tanks like Abrams.

III

Active

Knockdown

Often a must buy against flying characters like Vindicta and Grey Talon. Also used for knocking Seven out of his ultimate.

III

Active

Silence Wave

Very strong at the moment, silence is very good against many characters and it reduces their resist.

IV

Active

Arctic Blast

Really great item, practically a guarenteed kill in the late game if your team is with you. The combo with it is 2, Arctic Blast, light punch, 1, 4. Also great for clearing waves quickly in cat form.

IV

Active

Scourge

Really good. Makes you really tanky and can do a lot of damage if you get into the middle of their team. You can rush earlier if you feel it would be good or have the money.

IV

Crippling Headshot

One of the best damage items in the game because of the shred. The anti-heal is also amazing.

IV

Leech

Great hybrid item for Calico. You can build this earlier sometimes.

IV

Juggernaut

Amazing against gun carries.

IV

Spellbreaker

Incredible against Lash, Grey Talon, and any other spirit burst characters.

IV

Active

Phantom Strike

Amazing for shutting down fliers and gun carries. And for getting on top of the people you need to target in team fights.

IV

Boundless Spirit

Gives you some much needed damage in the late game with your ult and gloom bombs. Great if you are trying to oneshot their carries.

IV

Silencer

Can be good for shutting down ability reliant characters.

IV

Frenzy

Good survivability against spirit.

IV

Active

Unstoppable

If you're getting CCed or parried constantly. Also good for midboss steals.

IV

Active

Colossus

Extra resists and health is great.

IV

Witchmail

Very situational. Only get against lots of incremental spirit damage (McGinnis turrets, Infernus, Warden Ult). Still testing this.

IV

Plated Armor

Still testing and I'm not sure if it's better than Juggernaut, but it seems good.

IV

Active

Divine Barrier

Can remove ult debuffs such as Pocket ult. Prioritise casting it on other people though since half the CD gets refunded.

IV

Healing Tempo

Good healing + movement.

III

Radiant Regeneration

Quite good healing and move speed. Adds up to a lot in longer fights since Torment Pulse and Scourge easily procs it. Still testing.

III

Superior Cooldown

Cooldown reduction is really useful. If you are moving more into a spirit build later on I would get this if possible.

IV

Active

Curse

If you need to screw over one enemy in particular.

IV

Active

Ethereal Shift

Great on Calico, helps you live much longer. The cooldown for it is super short.

III

Weighted Shots

Has good stats.

III

Point Blank

The weapon damage and slow is nice but the extra weapon damage does not work with your 2 I think.

II

Backstabber

Really good early. I would probably build this before Cold Front and skip Weakening Headshot later.

III

Trophy Collector

This is a bad item. Do not build it. It is noob bait. It is worth nothing when you buy it, meaning you just spent 3k souls for no power increase and killed your tempo.
