Split Shot

Makes your damage unmissable. Buy Spirit* Shielding first if the lane is difficult. With T2 Defend and Fight!, this is your first powerspike. * See [Spirit Shielding]

I

Extra Regen

[OPTIONAL] Buy if lane feels hard.

II

Battle Vest

If you're going for Cultist Sacrifice, ignore this item. Otherwise, it pairs nicely with Hollow Point later on.

II

Enduring Speed

Speed is your best friend. Paige (ironically) is one of the faster heroes in this game. More speed means that you're able to catch up or run away better than most of the roster.

II

Active

Fleetfoot

This one specifically lets you catch up with people. Also more speed lmao.

III

Express Shot

This is the grand opal of this build, you can easily nuke low health heroes with this item or cause higher health heroes to run in fear. Though, don't try to fight any solo powerhouses (ex: Drifter).

II

Imbue

Quicksilver Reload

Less reloading = more time dealing damage.

III

Hollow Point

Even more damage, even more nuking.

III

Burst Fire

Even more damage, even more nuking.

II

Bullet Lifesteal

Ideally you will get at least one item in the next category first, but if you have (almost) every flex slot, then now is fine.

IV

Active

Vampiric Burst

Just frontline, no one's stopping you (assuming your team is fighting with you). Especially use against return fire, as return fire is (un)surprisingly effective against you.

III

Counterspell

Especially good against Wraith, Lash, and Pocket ult, but it's also a good all-rounder counter item. Buy earlier as needed.

III

Active

Debuff Remover

Buy against easy stuns/lockdowns, I often buy this against Warden, Mirage, and Vindicta. Also insta-buy if they're buying Disarming Hex. Buy earlier as needed.

III

Active

Warp Stone

Powerful evasion plus bullet resist.

III

Active

Metal Skin

Hard counter to gun, but makes you slower. User discretion is advised, but no damage is no damage.

IV

Juggernaut

Acceptable against any characters that rely on fire rate or big slows. I'd prefer other options personally, but Juggernaut isn't an extra slot in this build so there's that.

III

Stamina Mastery

General survivability item, though I'd strongly advise getting something more specific if the match allows for it.

IV

Active

Colossus

It is exceedingly rare that this is a good idea, but it is survivability that makes it harder for your enemies to run from. Also, more damage.

IV

Active

Phantom Strike

This could be funny but I haven't tested it yet. If you're brave, test it out.

IV

Ricochet

Crowd Control go brrrt. That being said, you already deal a lot of damage to crowds. I would advise against it, but your mileage may vary.

IV

Imbue

Mercurial Magnum

I actually don't prioritize Mercurial Magnum as it's pretty bad on Paige compared to other choices (namely: Vampiric Burst). But, it is more fire rate without expending a slot (DMG sucks).

I

Sprint Boots

Buy these two (Sprint Boots and Monster Rounds) after High-Velocity Rounds.

I

Monster Rounds

After this, buy shielding, then Cultist Sacrifice. This maximizes health/health regen without selling items later.

III

Active

Cultist Sacrifice

Consider buying this after Express Shot if you think you won't be able to make use of these buffs. Otherwise, full send.

II

Spirit Shielding

Pretty much every character will proc this at some point in lane, but if you think Weapon Shielding/Reactive Barrier would be better, then go for it.
