- Always updated! Hybrid Burst playstyle. Now with full annotations! There's no strict order, but each section should typically be completed before moving on to the next.
- Check back for changes as I'm always trying to improve the build, and message me in the Discord if you have any questions! @Gami
I
Spirit Strike
Nice damage burst in lane and good resist shred for the cost.
I
Active
Healing Rite
Emotional Support Healing Rite. Skippable if lane going well, but highly recommended.
I
Monster Rounds
Good lane pressure and builds into Cultist later.
II
Active
Cold Front
Your fifth ability, use it often!
III
Active
Cultist Sacrifice
Lots of good stats! Use it to steal T3 minions in the enemy jungle.
III
Active
Majestic Leap
Your main way of engaging, use it to stack Barrage and evaluate the fight.
III
Superior Cooldown
More abilities, more damage, more escape.
Early Situational
II
Enchanter's Emblem
Really strong stats, especially when we start with negative spirit resist.
II
Reactive Barrier
Excellent into teams that frequently movement lock you.
II
Spirit Shielding
Strong sustain against Spirit heroes.
II
Weapon Shielding
Strong sustain against Gun heroes. Not quite as versatile as Reactive or Spirit.
III
Counterspell
Stop that right now!
III
Tankbuster
"True" spirit damage means we can deal with high resist heroes.
IV
Active
Focus Lens
Adds to our burst. Great for assassinating single targets.
IV
Transcendent Cooldown
Reduces your cooldowns further. Also affects your four active items now.
III
Stamina Mastery
More movement upgrades.
IV
Active
Arctic Blast
The stun works well with Spirit Snatch and Mystic Shot if you enjoy that playstyle.
IV
Spirit Burn
Healing reduction and bonus damage over time. If you can proc this on multiple people, you will likely win the teamfight.
Typically pick one or two Early Situational items to get you through the laning phase. If the lane is going really well, you can skip them.
+ Damage
II
Mystic Shot
Good poke from range. Something that Pocket lacks, typically.
III
Spirit Snatch
For even more spirit shred if you can get in close.
IV
Crippling Headshot
Great against heal tanks.
IV
Boundless Spirit
As much as I hate this item, it really helps proc Spirit Burn late game.
+ Escape
II
Debuff Reducer
For avoiding minor stuns and debuffs
III
Active
Debuff Remover
Useful for non-stun debuffs like Infernus Afterburn or Mirage Mark.
III
Active
Warp Stone
Good escape, the extra bullet resist is also very valuable.
IV
Active
Unstoppable
Your late game answer to all crowd-control effects.
Components
I
Extra Stamina
Good boost to your movement.
I
Mystic Burst
Small damage boost for exploding people in lane.
II
Imbue
Compress Cooldown
Less Affliction downtime is always good.
+ Utility
II
Suppressor
Surprisingly good base stats and a strong anti-meta item.
IV
Active
Curse
If you have problems with a single fed carry.
IV
Active
Refresher
For when one ult just isn't enough
+ Survival
III
Bullet Resilience
Useful against characters with actual gun damage, rather than on-hit effects.
III
Spirit Resilience
Useful for non-burst spirit damage like Ivy or Victor.
IV
Plated Armor
Late game fire-rate debuff-stack counter.
IV
Spellbreaker
Late game spirit burst counter.
IV
Active
Ethereal Shift
Very short cycle time with Transcendant Cooldown.
Items in these final two rows are situational. Use them to add to the core build if you find yourself lacking in a particular category, or not enjoying the playstyle of a certain item.
