Dives down to stomp his foes

Lash gives his enemies little room to breathe, either by flying in from long distances to initiate combat with unsuspecting enemies, or pursuing said enemies when they try to run.

Description

I am the highest ranked lash player in the world (lol), listen to my advice in building.
I update this very frequently (see version history)

Item Build

#Citadel_HeroBuilds_EarlyGame

Buy left to right generally. Try to buy QSR once you get T2 whip. Not massively worth it before that

Deadlock Item

I

Headshot Booster

Still my personal favourite laning item. This + using your whip off cooldown is so oppressive on lane.

Deadlock Item

I

Extra Regen

Good Item. If you're not taking too much damage buy Mystic Regeneration instead and upgrade it later. Sell second

Deadlock Item

II

Imbue

Quicksilver Reload

Buy once you get tier 2 whip

Deadlock Item

I

Mystic Burst

Ties amazingly with your whip and scales your heal off it. Use 3 OFF COOLDOWN IN LANE! This makes your poke so strong.

Deadlock Item

I

Extra Spirit

Cheap good spirit early on.

Deadlock Item

I

Extra Stamina

stamina type shit

Deadlock Item

I

Extra Charge

I buy it early because I use my jump a lot. Skip until later / buy improved cooldown instead of rapid recharge if you dont run out of charges a lot. I would pretty much always buy this though

Deadlock Item

II

Healbane

With the new heros all generally having massive amounts of healing, I prefer running this over enchanters. Buy enchanters instead if a lot of spirit damage

Alternatives

Deadlock Item

II

Enchanter's Emblem

Pretty decent item, but spirit armour isn't as important because so many people buy bullet, and you start with some.

Deadlock Item

I

Mystic Regeneration

Builds into radiant higgleshmiggle.

Deadlock Item

III

Bullet Resilience

Buy this if you're dying to bullet a lot. You should buy both resistances but sell enchanters if you really cant fit it in and NEED it

Buy if ahead

Trophy is still very strong, but only if you can keep pace with kills / assists. If you had a good laning phase, and can focus on ganking into other lanes hard, buy this and scale, otherwise skip it and focus on farming lanes / creeps

Deadlock Item

I

Sprint Boots

Read trophy hunter. Only buy if you're running it

Deadlock Item

III

Trophy Collector

Buy this and roam early as fuck. It pays itself back if you can actually get kills, and it's even better if you're winning

Buy one

Deadlock Item

II

Active

Cold Front

This is the higher damage option, and upgrades into arctic blast. Also lets you farm camps way faster by slam -> cold front -> whip

Deadlock Item

III

Active

Warp Stone

Buy Glorpstone instead of Cold Front if you want mobility over damage. If you buy this you can delay Stamina Mastery and buy Tankbuster early. You can also replace this with majestic leap if you like.

#Citadel_HeroBuilds_MidGame

If you buy trophy collector, prioritise movement and push hard into ganking lanes. Otherwise farm.

Deadlock Item

III

Headhunter

Personal preference over mystic, upgrades off booster. Nice heal and consistant damage. Its important to buy atleast one gun item due to how the boon system works.

Deadlock Item

III

Stamina Mastery

Item got removed because of the update but always buy this, one of the best items in the game for lash.

Deadlock Item

III

Tankbuster

Keeps getting nerfed every update but due to your playstyle it's a must buy every game.

Deadlock Item

III

Superior Cooldown

This item is still great. If you can fit it in to slots use it otherwise feel free to skip until later and buy Rapid Recharge as an upgrade instead

Deadlock Item

IV

Boundless Spirit

Amazing item. Gives consistant spirit power AND a percentile spirit boost. The heal got moved to Radiant Regen though.

Alternatives

Deadlock Item

II

Active

Spirit Sap

This builds into silence wave but honestly it's really good just on its own this patch because EVERYONE buys spirit resistance.

Deadlock Item

III

Active

Majestic Leap

Great roaming tool. Especially good with trophy collector as you can punish people who are out of position

Deadlock Item

III

Radiant Regeneration

Still a good item. The earlier the better if you go for this, the +70 health per ability cast is still solid, but it's not as effective as it used to be.

Deadlock Item

III

Active

Silence Wave

Very strong when tied with his ult. I only really buy this when they have a lot of spirit resist or I want to shut people down. If you really like silence just buy curse.

#Citadel_HeroBuilds_LateGame

When u got crazy money (No specific order. Buy preferences or upgrades if you have no flex slots, or just L -> R)

Deadlock Item

IV

Spirit Burn

Really interesting item that works like mystic burst. The healing reduction and AOE explosion damage is INCREDIBLE tied with your ult

Deadlock Item

IV

Imbue

Mystic Reverb

This is amazing on both his slam and his whip. Whip is a mass area damage tag while the slam can be an incredible squishy insta-killer

Deadlock Item

IV

Active

Arctic Blast

Really nice item for followups. Locks them in place so with your slam -> whip -> Arctic combo you can get most people killed in a teamfight. If you bought warpstone instead of cf, skip and buy reverb.

Deadlock Item

IV

Imbue

Mercurial Magnum

If you want an excuse to keep QSR but you need an upgrade for slots here it is. Imbue on 3.

Deadlock Item

IV

Crippling Headshot

Lowers armours. Good if you have a billion trillion souls and you need something to spend it on / the enemy has a lot of resistances

Deadlock Item

IV

Transcendent Cooldown

This item's pretty overkill for the price. I'm testing it but the item cooldown isn't super important UNLESS you buy warp stone / magestic leap. IF SO, THIS IS GREAT!

No flex slots

Deadlock Item

III

Rapid Recharge

This really isnt neccessary over Superior Cooldown but Extra Charge IS neccessary. You might aswell upgrade it if you dont have slots.

Alternatives

Deadlock Item

IV

Spellbreaker

Basically upgraded spirit resistance

Deadlock Item

II

Spirit Lifesteal

Builds into infuser

Deadlock Item

IV

Active

Infuser

Still very strong for healing. Hit this button then slam and whip and you are full HP.

I am DYING TOO MUCH and I NEED to LIVE

Optional buys. Shields and shit

Deadlock Item

IV

Active

Curse

Fun item. Buy if one person is really pissing you off or you really just dont like someone that day

Deadlock Item

IV

Active

Unstoppable

"I keep getting stunned out of my ult by one guy and im really fucked off about it"

Deadlock Item

III

Counterspell

Sick new item. High skill ceiling but it can be great against certain matchups' ultimate. Counters bebop completely it's very funny

Deadlock Item

II

Debuff Reducer

This item got nerfed so bad. Still good into infernus & kelvin. Buy remover if you're clinically insane, I prefer spellbreaker lategame honestly.

Deadlock Item

III

Active

Debuff Remover

Buy me if you are insane. Just buy something like spellbreaker if you need debuff resistance

Deadlock Item

III

Spirit Resilience

I would never really buy this, just get enchanter's emblem or upgrade to spellbreaker.

Deadlock Item

III

Fortitude

I hardly ever buy this anymore. It can both skyrocket your momentum or completely trash it. The nerfs was unfortunately brutal to it.

Deadlock Item

III

Active

Cultist Sacrifice

This is an alternative to Trophy collector. If you can't get stacks on trophy buy this. Gives you the health and movespeed but sacrifices the free souls

Deadlock Item

II

Mystic Shot

Still a strong item, and you can buy this instead of headhunter if you prefer

Magic Carpet

Magic Carpet

Testing

I test stuff here and use it if i want to annotate between items

Deadlock Item

III

Greater Expansion

With the whip distance changes recently I find this better and better. Finding out if this has any place in the build.

Deadlock Item

II

Spirit Shredder Bullets

This got buffed so im testing this too. Gun item so thats also a plus due to how the boon system works

Deadlock Item

I

Imbue

Mystic Expansion

Builds into greater expansion

Deadlock Item

II

Imbue

Compress Cooldown

This item is kinda mid as an imbue now but if you're gonna use it then: 2 If you're selling extra charge. 4 if you can fit it into your build.

Deadlock Item

IV

Plated Armor

This item's great. If i'm ever getting aped by two or more overfarmed bullet characters lategame i like to buy it

Deadlock Item

IV

Active

Focus Lens

its alright so far in testing. Wish it disarmed too.

Deadlock Item

IV

Crushing Fists

I heavy melee a lot. Testing

Deadlock Item

IV

Spellslinger

Seems pretty fat. Cooldown reductions juicy

Deadlock Item

III

Active

Alchemical Fire

Alchemical Flask.

Deadlock Item

IV

Spiritual Overflow

I want more weapon damage on this build so im seeing what items i can buy to get boons

Deadlock Item

II

Improved Spirit

Only gives +8 spirit compared to Extra Spirit. I usually buy when I have a spare 800 lying around

Deadlock Item

I

Monster Rounds

Buy this if you're gonna buy cultist. Id buy this right after QSR / before QSR instead of extra regen

Deadlock Item

II

Weakening Headshot

Builds into crippling

Deadlock Item

Active

Decay

Good Anti Heal
