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.

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)
If using the "Autobuy" button, make sure to buy trophy if you want it.
Ping Faith_TV on the official deadlock discord for feedback
Buy left to right generally. Try to buy QSR once you get T2 whip. Not massively worth it before that
I
Extra Regen
Still my personal favourite lane healing item. You can buy healing rite but this lets you be more active.
II
Mystic Shot
Feels really fun this patch, but it does force you to aim (impossible for the layman lash). Buy QSR if you prefer it / don't really feel like thinking that game
I
Mystic Burst
Ties amazingly with your whip (& mystic shot/cf) and scales your heal off it. Use 3 OFF COOLDOWN IN LANE! This makes your poke so strong.
I
Extra Spirit
Cheap good spirit early on.
II
Active
Cold Front
Feels really strong now that flog spam got nerfed. Mystic shot -> Slam -> Cold Front -> Whip is your combo
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
I
Extra Stamina
stamina type shit
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. Buy healbane instead if they have a lot of healing. Sell second
II
Healbane
Not as great as back when victor was crazy metasauce, but it's still pretty fun
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
II
Imbue
Quicksilver Reload
This item got a pretty fat nerf, so look into buying mystic shot if you feel it to be better, it does require you to aim though (lash mains final challenge)
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
I
Sprint Boots
Read trophy hunter. Only buy if you're running it
III
Trophy Collector
This item is still pretty good, and one of my favourites. Its risky, and delays your powerspikes but if you can get it online it feels so good. Only buy this if you are ahead, and can gank well
If you buy trophy collector, roam hard, otherwise farm
III
Tankbuster
Moved this earlier because of the damage nerfs to his slam you kind of need to rush into spirit damage to stay up.
III
Active
Majestic Leap
Great roaming tool. Especially good with trophy collector as you can punish people who are out of position. Feel free to buy warpstone now instead if preferred. Skip if losing.
III
Superior Cooldown
This item is basically a must if you want sustained damage in teamfights. Feel free to buy rapid recharge instead if you dont have flex
IV
Boundless Spirit
Amazing item. Gives consistant spirit power AND a percentile spirit boost. The heal got moved to Radiant Regen though.
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
IV
Spirit Burn
This is one of the strongest items with your ult (if you can proc it). If you're reliably doing 500+ damage to someone, pick this up, otherwise get reverb first to guarentee it
III
Stamina Mastery
Buy this whenever you feel you need it. I like to prioritise damage upgrades until i feel like i'm getting caught out a lot. Pairs extra nice with majestic leap for crosslane rotates.
III
Active
Warp Stone
Glorpstone is still an incredible escape item, use it to teleport to rooftops when you're out of stamina when running / get behind cover.
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.
III
Headhunter
Personal preference buy. It helps get a lot of damage with the boon system, but you do sacrifice a lot of spirit for rushing it, forcing you to focus more on shooting
When u got crazy money (No specific order. Buy preferences or upgrades if you have no flex slots)
IV
Transcendent Cooldown
This item is really good, but only if you have majestic leap / other actives. It's only a 5% base cooldown over superior so its quite expensive, but with leap this is so, so good
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, just fill slots.
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
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.
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.
IV
Spellbreaker
Basically upgraded spirit resistance
II
Spirit Lifesteal
Builds into infuser
IV
Active
Infuser
Still very strong for healing. Hit this button then slam and whip and you are full HP.
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.
Optional buys. Shields and shit
IV
Active
Curse
Fun item. Buy if one person is really pissing you off or you really just dont like someone that day
IV
Active
Unstoppable
"I keep getting stunned out of my ult by one guy and im really fucked off about it"
III
Counterspell
Amazing item for general use. If you are locked in enough to parry abilities buy it
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.
III
Active
Debuff Remover
Buy me if you are insane. Just buy something like spellbreaker if you need debuff resistance
III
Spirit Resilience
I would never really buy this, just get enchanter's emblem or upgrade to spellbreaker.
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.
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
I
Headshot Booster
Testing with the minor nerfs, but it still seems strong
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.
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
I
Imbue
Mystic Expansion
Builds into greater expansion
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.
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
IV
Active
Focus Lens
its alright so far in testing. Wish it disarmed too.
IV
Crushing Fists
I heavy melee a lot. Testing
IV
Spellslinger
Seems pretty fat. Cooldown reductions juicy
III
Active
Alchemical Fire
Alchemical Flask.
IV
Spiritual Overflow
I want more weapon damage on this build so im seeing what items i can buy to get boons
II
Improved Spirit
Only gives +8 spirit compared to Extra Spirit. I usually buy when I have a spare 800 lying around
II
Weakening Headshot
Builds into crippling
I
Monster Rounds
Buy this if you're gonna buy cultist. Id buy this right after QSR / before QSR instead of extra regen
III
Active
Decay
Good Anti Heal
I
Mystic Regeneration
I think it's pretty mediocre this patch for lash. Just buy extra regen
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.
