I

Monster Rounds

If the lane is very easy you can skip this - otherwise you need it to avoid getting pushed under guardian

I

Extra Charge

Never skip

I

Extra Spirit

Easy damage, almost never skip

I

Imbue [E]

Mystic Expansion

Never skip

I

Extra Regen

Best for pure healing in lane, if you need it - sell whenever

I

Mystic Regeneration

Better than Extra Regen if you're hitting Kudzu's a lot or need some more damage as well as healing

II

Mystic Slow

Core part of your kit and great support - Lightning Scroll isn't a huge upgrade for you though

II

Mystic Vulnerability

Probably the easiest way to help your team, and very useful for damage - upgrades into your best late item

II

Imbue [E]

Compress Cooldown

Imbue on 1 - Get this earlier if you're constantly running out (but this also means you're using Kudzu too often, save for fights)

II

Improved Spirit

Easy, cheap upgrade - Skip this and sell Extra Spirit if you need space for more optionals

II

Active

Slowing Hex

You need it eventually Vortex Web, and very good for hitting Kudzu - particularly worth for [Infernus, Lash, Wraith, Dynamo, Calico, Abrams]

I

Sprint Boots

For Trophy if you're getting it

III

Trophy Collector

Good in high kill games, games you win lane, and games you need to rotate a lot (extra sprint speed)

II

Enchanter's Emblem

Secretly sort of buffed and now very strong - almost all games you'll get value from this

II

Healbane

Great in most games [Geist, Mo & Krill, Dynamo, Kelvin, Calico, Abrams, Infernus, Pocket, Lash] can be sold for Spirit Burn. Skip if they have no healing or you need something else

I

Mystic Burst

If you're feeling unsupported this can help win 1v1 and secure kills, upgrade later if they're tanky

III

Tankbuster

Really nice to have and now bypasses resistence! Get when they have 2.8-3K HP on more than one person.

II

Suppressor

Good if they have more than one bullet carry (which is fairly common) - otherwise skip

II

Debuff Reducer

Useful. Especially good if you need remover [Infernus, Shiv, Pocket, Mo & Krill]

III

Active

Debuff Remover

Strong item especially for [Infernus, Shiv, Bebop, Seven, Warden, Vindicta]

I

Extra Stamina

Mostly for [Warden, Haze, Vindicta, Geist] but it's never a bad purchase

II

Arcane Surge

If you get Extra Stamina you might as well get this - it's really strong when you're using it consistently but you will need to practice that

III

Rapid Recharge

Only worth rushing earlier if you have Compress Cooldown already and have 2.4K but not 3.2K. Otherwise wait till you're done with Mid Core.

III

Superior Cooldown

Good upgrade - now more important to upgrade again if you have actives (and if you don't have many you can delay this IF you're desperate for more damage

III

Greater Expansion

Great for your entire kit, BUT you can delay till you've started SCRAMBLING TIME if you're confident in your aim/timing - get as soon as you have Vortex or Spirit Burn at latest though

III

Active

Alchemical Fire

I love Kudzu Bomb 2! BUT if you need loads of optionals (especially actives) or resists you can skip or sell later

IV

Escalating Exposure

Usually worth getting first, particularly if you're hitting Kudzu's well already and don't need Anti-Heal

IV

Spirit Burn

Get first (or even rush) if you're struggling to out damage healing on anyone, or if you're farming camps a lot

IV

Transcendent Cooldown

Get first if you buy Cultist Sac and/or additional actives (Knockdown, Silence Wave, Curse, E Shift) - you skip Alch Fire for a non-active maybe skip this

IV

Lightning Scroll

It's a good item (and an upgrade so good for space) but lower priority that everything to the left, unless you need more ways to interupt as a team.

IV

Boundless Spirit

This gives you lots more damage, but usually the game isn't going on long enough to afford this (and the rest of the build)

IV

Active

Refresher

Good item, LONG cooldown. Get Transcendent Cooldown first, and only worth getting earlier than other T4s if fights are very long, or it's going to be the last fight of the game

III

Active

Knockdown

Needed against [Vindicta, Grey Talon, Seven and Ult Bebop], fairly good for [Lash, Dynamo] - fine in other games but usually something better

IV

Active

Curse

If one person on their team has all the souls, buy this

IV

Active

Ethereal Shift

Excellent item, don't be put off by the cost it has good stats and amazing utility. Particularly good for [Lash, Shiv, Haze, Bebop, Burst Damage]

II

Active

Spirit Sap

Builds into Silence Wave, otherwise only helpful if you're supporting/duoing with a Spirit carry

III

Active

Silence Wave

Great team impact against Spirit heavy teams, particularly helpful for [Mo & Krill, Bebop, Calico]

III

Active

Decay

BUFFED! Potentially good for [Mo & Krill, Shiv, Abrams, Calico, Geist] but I would buy this fairly early (Mid Core) if you plan to at all

I

Active

Rusted Barrel

BUFFED! [Haze, Wraith, Viper, Infernus, any other gun carry] harder to use than Suppressor but cheap (and disarm is very strong when used well)

III

Active

Disarming Hex

[Haze, Wraith, Viper, Infernus, any other gun carry] for me this is very hard to get max value out of in a fight, but for one gun carry this is a very strong option

I

Rebuttal

Incredible item, but ONLY for [Viscous IF YOU CAN PARRY PUDDLE PUNCH, Very melee heavy lanes] - Buy this BEFORE LANE ENDS if you're getting it

II

Active

Guardian Ward

Got a nice buff and I feel worth considering now if you wanted to be supportive

IV

Active

Divine Barrier

Got a nice buff and I feel worth considering now if you wanted to be supportive

IV

Imbue [E]

Mystic Reverb

Can go on Kudzu for better slows (sometimes gets them stuck) and a bit of damage, or Ult for more damage but less frequent slow - wouldnt often buy but if you're winning hard and rich then go nuts

IV

Juggernaut

Best item here - particularly good paired with Bullet Resillience if you're still dying - also weirdly good against melee damage?

III

Bullet Resilience

If they're mostly bullets and you can't afford Juggernaut, or already have it, this is a good item and very simple

IV

Plated Armor

If you're getting killed by additional bullet effects this can be neccesary [Infernus] in particular

III

Active

Metal Skin

This is really just an anti-[Haze] item, and you can just stun her with Gargoyle unless she has unstoppable

III

Spirit Resilience

Get if they're almost all Spirit and you keep dying. But your build has Spirit Resist already, so maybe just position better, dummy <3 - also nerfed now :(

IV

Spellbreaker

Buy for [Lash, Grey Talon] or other huge burst damage, or if you need more Debuff Resist

IV

Active

Scourge

Adaptable but takes practice - usually better to get something else or buy this to save your team's stronger people (if you're weak)

II

Active

Restorative Locket

Truly only useful in lanes against Geist and another Spirit hero, but in those lanes this is pretty good!
