Holliday
Bounces about dispensing trick shots

Holliday depends on her skills as a crack shot, shooting things she's bounced into the air. With good aim she can lay out heavy damage. Her movement skills let her isolate her enemies or beat a hasty retreat.

item
Sprint Boots
800

Must buy if you are boxmaxxing with your cat form.

item
Rebuttal
800

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

item
Mystic Expansion
800

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

After Lane

If you lack slots, upgrade items.

item
Kinetic Dash

Amazing for ammo since it gives a flat amount rather than a percentage. Super good for pushing objectives.

item
Torment Pulse
3200

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

item
Headhunter
4000

Great item in the early/mid game, the heal, damage, and move speed is super good.

item
Fortitude
4000

The move speed is great for rotating, the heal lets you stay on the map longer, and the weapon damage is really nice.

item
Debuff Reducer
1600

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.

Mid Game

Get as needed.

Incredibly good. Massive powerspike.

item
Lifestrike
4000

Tons of healing from your 2 and melees. Keeps you alive in fights.

item
Active
Scourge

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

item
