Item Build
Laning phase
Buy in order, but loosely

500
can get first if you really need it. Can come back later if you don't need it at all
500
damage on the slash does not get affected by spirit, but healing does!
500
1250
Good damage and slows. can (almost) kill small camps just combo'd with slash (2)
500
1750
Keep people close to you and they will suffer
500
Can apply pressure to guardian. Can skip if stomping in lane. Can help recoup some souls if behind with farming. [sell for fleetfoot later]
If need extra heals
Armors lower down the page btw.
500
If being chipped
500
If being bursted
500
If you think being passive is for wimps
Extended Laning/transition
Buy in order
1250
not useful in cat form but when the cat inevitably gets slowed to a halt it's good to have this. Also good at keeping close to enemies
3000
sell spirit strike
1250
The faster your abilities are up the more you can engage, heal, escape, kill, etc. Buy later if no flex
1250
Can become very difficult to kill if you can hit your slashes
1250
1250
try to pop this before ulting. the movement carries on into ult and can make it really easy to keep on top of enemies
3500
500
Cat multiplies walk speed. Ever wanted to outpace the zipline? WELL GUESS WHAT.
1750
Lied a little with sprint boots annotation. NOW you can outpace the zipline.
Later mid game
Buy in order. buy debuff reducer/remover first if a lot of cc.
3500
4250
imbue 4. Spirit calico without abilities feels like playing a training dummy.
1250
In early game, Abrams' Shoulder Charge wont stun you long enough for him to heavy melee you if you have this
4250
i'll assume you know when you need this... always practically, it's always. Slowing hex and other slows are the bane of Calico's existence.

3500
End Game
a good note, the longer the game goes on, the more you will wanna focus on a bruiser playstyle than an assassin one
4250
Shoot your target a few times before doing your bulk damage.
3500
more movement slow and damage. Sprinkle a stamina on there and physical resistance too for good measure
6000
Sell Enduring Speed
Choose your last flex slots
and choose carefully. Can sell Slowing Hex if you want an active
6000
your ult can do a lot for you. Damage, avoiding damage, getting away, kill secure, etc. Now do it twice.
3000
imbue 1. very strong and can give your bombs a big increase in damage. Just hope you can hit em.
3000
Casting abilities, flyers, lash, and chase downs. this thing counters it all!
6000
Wouldn't you know it, but being intargetable is actually rather strong
6000
7250
Massive damage increase but only if they are always around you. Spikes bomb damage significantly
"I don't like dying but it keeps happening"
If losing, you need to switch from an assassin playstyle to a bruiser one (front line in team fights and tanky). Sell enduring speed for this

I HATE VINCDICTA STAKE I HATE VINDICTA STAKE I HATE VINDICTA STAKE
1250
Infernus/Geist/Abrams/Pretty much everyone, i smite thee. can upgrade into leech if there's a surplus of souls in the future
Too much end game
all pretty outside the price range of a typical match, but will work if it's going on too long. no order

Really only get this when you got healbane. the spirit lifesteal does not affect the leaping slash
