Timely heals and splitting a teamfight properly is the difference between an easy victory or a ruinous defeat. Gliding around slowing enemies gives Kelvin's team the maneuvering advantage to make this happen.

Description
I've tried alot of support and spirit builds, this is my version of those builds simplified
Item Build
Early Spirit
500
Tends to be my first buy, use before ice beam for dmg increase
500
Bigger ice bomb and ult
500
Good early lane damg increase
500
Buy once you almost have t2 frost grenade, big boost in healing capability
Early Gun
500
helps with lane clear, your job is to confirm souls and heal most of the time
500
with your healing you tend to benifit from this often
500
helps with confirming souls
Early Health
500
Sell once youve got t2 frost nade
500
Needed for enduring speed, comes in handy later on
500
Extra health plus needed for fortitude
1250
Biggest spike in healing, rush this once you have t2 frost nade
500
Not needed but can be useful
Mid/Late Spirit
3500
Boosts nade dmg, combo with rapid recharge and you can dish out good aoe dmg
3500
This is where you decide on an ult build or grenade build, bigger ult or larger explosion on nade
3500
Good overall item
3500
Gives you 4 nades total, increase in dmg and healing
Mid/Late Gun
1250
enduring speed, use ice path and fleetfoot = insane movement
1250
movement quailty of life item, not needed but youll end up with free gun slots and this fills one
3000
Helps with lane clear/obj dmg, throw on ground in ult for nice dmg boost
3000
Mainly used to fill slots, good for ults
Mid/Late Health
1750
Extra movement
3500
Not needed but is useful so you dont need to keep going back to base to heal
3000
Favourite item for kelvin, ice path above teamfights and pull anyone whose low out to heal, can also use to counter a bebop hook
3500
not needed but can be useful
Upgrades/Flex Slots
Choose between an ult build or grenade spam build
1250
4250
Depends on ult build or not, i like to put this on ice path for good movement but can be put on ult for longer up time
1250
4250
-5s cooldown on grenade, -10s on ice path or -30s on dome, up to you what it goes on
9500
Big increase in grenade dmg
6000
Put on grenade for extra dmg and slow, buy if doing grenade build otherwise get refresher for ult
6000
2 ults, need i say more
7250
Grenade, alch fire and ice beam in ult gives alot of stacks on this
Actives
I usually rotate my 4th active depending on who im against
1250
Good early active, usually buy against bebop and other burst dmg
1750
nice addition to team healing, not needed often but can be a good early option
1250
If laning against ability spam heroes then buy
4250
If against damage over time then could be nice, pocket infernus etc, also bebop bombs
3000
Usually buy against a haze, youll find that you get focused down if you are a good support
6000
situational, definitely buy against dynamo
6000
If youre doing an ult build this is nice to have on hand
6000
Shuts down one person, good for using in dome
3000
if your team needs one then can be useful, vindicta, grey talon, seven etc
1750
Slowing hex with ice beam is a great lane combo, can lead to easy kills
