CALICO BUFFS YIPPEEEEEE

Extra Health
To get fortitude, additional hp great. Skip if getting Veil Walker

Sprint Boots
Roam for boxes, try to steal all enemy boxes, get later if getting Healing Rite

Veil Walker
Right now OP item, can take right after/before Backstabber (instead ExtraHP and Fortitude), enemy see you through walls if you Veil while in Ava

Healing Rite
heal even more + move speed, prio heal

Mo/Abrams/Kelvin/Dynamo/Geist/Victor lane + good heal on kills, good item overall, Sell for Spirit Burn
