When Haze fixates on a target she can hold her own in a firefight. She prefers to create one sided exchanges, avoiding damage then picking off unsuspecting targets up close.

Description
Updated 5/19 - More big improvements! Relic exchanges and refinements to make us stronger, quicker. Overhauled Annotations!
Chrome's Rapid Haze aims to maximize Haze's ability to create one-sided, unfair exchanges. Strong Fixation and Dagger damage is paired with crushing debuffs to confirm high value kills. Check the guide in the official discord for updates and ask questions :)
Item Build
Lane
800
Prioritize proccing off cooldown, spend downtime clearing waves.
1600
Incredibly strong harass tool. 100 Spirit damage on a single proc. Shoot them at distances you’d otherwise not bother with if it means you could get a proc.
800
800

Lane Tech
800
If taking chip damage in lane and need to stay healthy.
800
If taking big chunks of damage from ability combos (Bebop hook, Shiv dash, etc.) pop Healing Rite and go break statues / boxes while regenerating.
800
If you're in a very melee brawly lane, this can be a game changer. Especially strong into a Viscous spamming Puddle Punches.
Early Game
QSR on Dagger
2400
2400
Best used when springing fights onto enemies out of smoke, no longer a "stamina saver. I advise you put some thought into your stamina usage and rely on Smoke Bomb’s speed for rotations.
1600
Use at the end of your first magazine to extend your damage output during fights and farming.
Mid Game
Surge on Dagger
3200
1600
A cornerstone ganking tool. Delay its application for as long as possible. I advise you burn a mag, dagger, and apply it while they’re slept.
1600
4000
4800
9600
Sheds all triggered and activated buffs (Metal Skin, Weapon Shielding, Infuser, Mercurial Magnum, Scourge) as well as hero-specific buffs (Full Auto, Cube, Power Surge) use reactively.
8000
Best used for high burst damage in gank engagements and as a health “re-up” in teamfights. This gets shutdown hard by Spirit Burn, try to wait it out.
Late Game Damage
Annotations!
7200
To counter a Plated Armor pickup on the enemy team, be checking the HUD often to try and react to their purchase before the fight happens.
6400
A strong universal boon to our Gun and Dagger output. Hard to go wrong with this, but there may be more specialized and effective choices.
6400
For absolutely nuking single enemies, be sure to pop Echo Shard before shooting after the first dagger to cancel the animation. An exceptional picking tool, it's basically a Krill Combo.
6400
Either by daggering or stacking Tesla / Fixation, Spirit Burn breaks Leech heroes. A low commitment relic that can have a large impact. Only buy if nobody else on your team has it.
Tech & Sustain
Read Annotations!
4800
Excellently helpful for large teamfights and sinking ability-heavy heroes in ganks.
4000
Enables permanent map uptime, a frequent purchase in midgame. Do not buy if your team has no map control.
4000
If in need of extreme maneuverability. I advise you to become more disciplined with your stamina usage during Late Game as to avoid having to buy this.
4800
To cleanse overwhelming and dangerous debuffs such as Spirit Burn, Bebop Bombs, Warden Cage, etc. No longer works on Affliction and Telekinesis.
6400
If you're in the position to apply this adequately during teamfights, Inhibitor can be very impactful.
8000
Buy for late game when big CC is a huge issue, I prefer this for Haze over Counterspell.
6400
Incredibly useful into high-burst Spirit teams such as Yamato, Bebop, or Talon.
800
Buy if you have free slots when grabbing Smoke T3. Can be ignored otherwise.
