item
Mystic Reach

This one is here primarily to make harpoon more reliable, but it helps with your other abilities as well.

item
Spirit Strike
500
item
Melee Charge
1250

Who needs to reload anyway?

item
Bullet Lifesteal
1250
item
Extra Charge
500

Shorter cooldown on 3 if you mess up a cancel and you can use your 1 twice if needed.

Optional

item
Restorative Shot
500

Can be bought early in lane, but beware of Slork's unusually high pellet spread.

item
Extra Regen
500

Buy if constantly pressured early in lane. Your ult eventually makes it redundant, but it can be upgraded into Return Fire later.

item
Active
Return Fire
1750

Ridiculously powerful if you remember to use it.

item
Kinetic Dash

Can be used instead of Swift Striker.

Enables heavy melee cancelling, but you probably don't need it with harpoon in its current state :)

item
Suppressor
1250

Can replace Spirit Strike.

This item is STILL busted. Buy as quickly as you can.

Your 1 exists solely to proc this item (and Healbane).

Very good statburger.

Lifestrike

Items you shouldn't buy.

item
Basic Magazine
500

You don't need more ammo.

item
Sprint Boots
500

Reefcancelling gives you unfathomable (heh) mobility. Why walk faster when you can literally fly?

item
Enduring Speed
1750

Same deal.

item
Spirit Lifesteal
1250

You are NOT Abrams. Your "Siphon Life" does not and WILL NOT siphon any meaningful life.

item
Fortitude
3500

You already have built-in passive regen from ult and insane mobility from harpoon.

item
Mystic Vulnerability
1250

Who do you think you are? Infernus?

item
Duration Extender
1250

At the moment, it only affects Scalding Spray. Not worth the slot.

item
Active
Knockdown
3000

If you need to deal with flyers, your ult is already a great anti-air option.
