Life Drain & Gun Speed Demon build.
Deathy variant & using buds AP order.
- Put 2 points into Life Drain or Bomb first based on lane matchup.

If lane matchup is bad, put 2 points into Bomb instead of Life Drain.


I
Headshot Booster
More damage in the lane phase.


I
Extra Regen
It doesn't hurt to buy more sustain.


I
Mystic Regeneration
More regen from your abilities.


II
Kinetic Dash
The best ammo item for Geist. Use it right and you'll avoid reloading too often.


III
Headhunter
This will boost your headshot damage significantly with Berserker + BSR + Malice.


III
Radiant Regeneration
Using Malice will heal you even if you don't hit anyone.


II
Healing Booster
This almost fully negates the downsides of Blood Tribute. Also works on Healbane's heal on kill effect.


II
Healbane
The heal on hero kill is crucial for Lady Geist. Really good item but optional if you need something else.


I
Mystic Burst
Big damage with Bomb leveled first. Not required if you upgrade Life Drain. Sell later for slots.


I
Imbue
Mystic Expansion
Way harder to escape your bombs. Don't buy if you upgrade Life Drain. Sell later for slots.


II
Suppressor
Great debuff against gun heroes and good stats for early game. Can be an alternative to Bullet Resist Shredder.
15k souls timing: big damage amp with BRS + T3 Malice.


II
Enduring Speed
Lady Geist's weakness is her lack of mobility.


II
Bullet Resist Shredder
Check your team's items before buying because this debuff does NOT stack.


III
Berserker
Best gun damage for Geist. Keep your stacks up with Malice.


II
Active
Fleetfoot
Very useful against annoying slows and slippery targets. We are move speed maxxing.


IV
Spellslinger
This is now an insane item for Lady Geist.


IV
Healing Tempo
The game usually ends before you get to build Leech, it's better to improve Life Drain instead.


III
Rapid Recharge
Not a priority if another item could be better. Buy after core items if it's worth it.
Grab at least one item.


III
Spirit Resilience
Consider this item if you haven't purchased Enchanter's Emblem or Spirit Shielding.


III
Active
Warp Stone
Good against Haze/Infernus ult, much needed Bullet Resist and gap closer for your ultimate. You will need this against cautious players.


III
Active
Debuff Remover
Great against all sorts of debuffs, like Vindicta's stake.


III
Counterspell
Great against spells such as Pocket's Affliction.
Greens are good, eat your greens.


IV
Crippling Headshot
Late game damage and debuffs!!


IV
Frenzy
You have become the speed demon! Very useful against spirit damage.


IV
Spellbreaker
Great against burst heavy teams and valuable debuff resistance.


IV
Plated Armor
Gun heroes will apply a bunch of debuffs when they shoot you. This is a great counter for it.


IV
Active
Colossus
Massive health buff. Buy if you die too easily. Not good against Curse.


IV
Active
Phantom Strike
Easy initiation for Soul Sacrifice. Target the tank and obliterate their health pool.


IV
Juggernaut
Suppressor + Fleetfoot is less expensive but it still has its place in the late game.


IV
Leech
On the rare but not so rare occasion where you need to carry the team on your back.


I
Extra Charge
Extra charge = Extra survival. Buy at 25k souls if you followed AP order or earlier at 15k souls if you give up T3 Malice for Life Drain.
Every tier 2 green item in the build is viable, pick according to your situation.


III
Weighted Shots
Tankiness at the expense of stamina recovery. The effect is minimal with Kinetic Dash at +0.43 seconds.


III
Active
Blood Tribute
Insane debuff resist. If there are a lot of debuffs to deal with, this is a good buy after Berserker.


III
Spirit Rend
Late game debuffs are good!!


I
Rebuttal
Great against brawlers in the early and mid-game.


II
Enchanter's Emblem
The spirit resist is important because it will reduce damage from your spells (and enemy spells).


II
Reactive Barrier
Good against Bebop hook and counter to Doorman's ult. Pretty good scaling too.


II
Spirit Shielding
You'll need this against high spirit burst.


II
Battle Vest
This is very valuable in the new patch.


II
Active
Return Fire
Really good item, don't underestimate its use against gun heroes.


III
Active
Metal Skin
The downside is this makes Geist an even more immobile hero for 5 seconds. Use it wisely.


III
Bullet Resilience
Metal Skin is preferred as a mid game tool.
