Stalker

*sub for weakening headshot* very good 1600 for lane. pro tip: if an enemy dashes backwars while shooting them, backstaber will proc

Toxic Bullets

*sub for Headhunter or Cultist* Good for chunking down tankie heros, and good anti heal. Got the idea to use it from Leviathan, he is the GOAT

Battle Vest

*Can be a sub for Enduring Speed* | Vest has many perks if you need some resist | Great gun stats + regen, which paradox lacks at the moment. Can swap for Enduring speed.

*Can be a sub for Enduring Speed* | great early resist | same upsides as vest, but for spirit. One of the few items that give cdr.

cheap anti-heal

Deadlock Item

Enduring Speed

run more fast

Deadlock Item

III

Rapid Recharge

spamming walls in the middle of a fight constantly silencing enemies feels terrible to play into

Deadlock Item

Transcendent Cooldown

Even more cooldown. Cn skip if you aren't buying many actives. 3200 for 5% cdr is not a good investment.
