Description
Generally you're looking to use Goo Ball for damage
in the early game and CC or frontline late game.
Pick if you want to lean into being a tank or a support
in the mid game. After Late Core the rest is up to you.
Item Build
Early Core
My pick over Cold Front. Bonus Spirit, poke that procs Mystic Burst and shop bonus, but it doesn't work in Goo Ball and you'll probably have to sell it later
You can skip if needed for a counter item
Probably sell for Greater Expansion
Early Options
0-2
If you're really hurting
Just some extra health back in lane over time
Farming feels bad this patch, this helps
Mid Core
Early Goo Ball double hit now that you have T5 Ball
Mid Sustain
Pick 1
Insane save with Cube, also just keeps you alive
Makes you tankier, keeps you full
Mid Options
You could build this almost every game, but you will most likely have to sell it at some point
Especially vs slows or roots
Really strong in lane and throughout. May have to sell at some point though
Calico, Abrams, Shiv especially
Late Core
Found this to be pretty good. Especially if they have Lash / Seven / Vindicta / Gray Talon / Bebop
Still does a fair amount of damage, I would grab this most if not all games
Late Upgrades
Semi Optional
You can skip this for another T4 and sell Improved Spirit if you need to. Otherwise it's a super easy upgrade
You pretty much always want this. All about Goo Ball uptime at this point
I kind of see this an upgrade / replacement for Arcane Surge
Late Options
Especially against Warden, Vindicta
Actually does a ton of damage and good anti heal. Only problem is that it's single target
More Survivability
Super cool item, but they kind of have to have some people doing Spirit damage for this to work
Big bursty characters. Yamato, Lash, GT, Paradox, maybe Vindicta
Haze, Infernus, maybe Wraith, Seven. Anyone with on hit stuff
If you need frontline badly
More Utility
Against hard CC. Lash, Dynamo, Holliday, Paradox, maybe Kelvin and Abrams
AOE Slowing Hex
Double Cube save
More Damage
Really good damage, esepcially if they're heavy on tanky frontliners
Mostly for the antiheal, but the damage is really good too
A third confirmed hit on Goo Ball
Ability Point Order
Splatter
The Cube
