I

Extra Regen

just a lot of regen in lane. Good for brawlers/fighters like shiv

I

Extra Charge

one more knife. Good pressure in lane if you can hit them consistently

II

Active

Cold Front

Good early flat damage, wave clear, and slow. Usually want to sell later for better items/active slot.

I

Mystic Regeneration

radiant upgrade + 50 hp

III

Radiant Regeneration

The Dark Lord.

II

Active

Restorative Locket

spirit res, big heal, and restores stamina. Can sell super late for slots

II

Healing Booster

good with radiant now that it works with bloodletting

II

Spirit Lifesteal

Good early sustain with radiant and heal booster. This slot can be whatever you need most (healbane, reactive, return fire).

II

Mystic Vulnerability

more shred and spirit res + upgrade option for EE later. It's either this or improved spirit in this slot.

III

Torment Pulse

Always good if you can stay close or vs melee/close range heroes. Can replace with with whatever other tempo item you need

I

Active

Healing Rite

you kinda just want to survive until decay spike, this lets us do so while running boxes as well.

III

Active

Dispel Magic

Almost a core item now with all the debuff slop around (slow hexes, silence waves, toxic bullets, haze, mirage, infern, etc.).

II

Imbue [E]

Compress Cooldown

enable dash resets

III

Bullet Resilience

default item for gun damage, or look at metal skin vs haze/silver/ven.

III

Superior Cooldown

more cooldown for knives, dash, bloodletting

IV

Imbue [E]

Mystic Reverb

heals on dash and slows to help the echo dash hit. Great value if you're hitting multiple dash resets.

IV

Transcendent Cooldown

uptime for actives and more torment procs.

III

Active

Warp Stone

Chase/disengage tool. Good if you really need the extra mobility vs cc lockdown comps or you aren't confident in your M2 movement.

III

Spirit Resilience

Don't need this early since hp will be lower and you get a good amount of resist from your other items already. Buy into full spirit comps

III

Counterspell

op if you remember to use it, blocks cc, any ability, including ults if you're locked in. Good for mid contest. MUST BUY INTO POCKET ULT.

II

Reactive Barrier

Really strong if there's cc that will proc it every fight.

II

Active

Return Fire

very good early for strong gun heroes if you need to counter them, sell for resists later

IV

Active

Ethereal Shift

just makes you really hard to kill and clears your deferred damage

IV

Active

Infuser

Good option for dashing but has less uptime than reverb, takes an active slot, and is countered by any curse.

IV

Escalating Exposure

Good shred and damage amp from knife ticks and torment

IV

Plated Armor

buy for heroes who do damage through on hit effects, (infern, mina, mirage, haze, wraith, etc.) or item bullet procs (tesla, toxic, lucky shot, inhibitor)

IV

Witchmail

great for dashing and tanking with more bloodletting uptime.

IV

Active

Unstoppable

anti cc, also good for punching rejuv crystal

IV

Spellbreaker

if spirit burst is still a problem. Gives debuff resist

IV

Active

Divine Barrier

Better debuff remover, get super late or if pocket is a big problem/

IV

Boundless Spirit

Big damage amp for abilities + items. Doesn't make you much tankier though

IV

Active

Arctic Blast

offers cc and burst for dashes, but other the items here are usually better

III

Active

Silence Wave

This item is still very strong. The silence is really valuable and this does flat damage for rage that can also be amped if you already have rage.

III

Active

Decay

Rage generation, scales well, and easy to use. Scaling got nerfed by ~27% but it's still really good if they don't buy dispel or you struggle with building rage.

III

Rapid Recharge

+1 knife and a bit of cooldown. Good if you want to commit to knife build or if they don't buy dispel

III

Tankbuster

Much better option now with health buffed.

II

Improved Spirit

just a lot of spirit for spike. It's either this or mystic vuln here

I

Spirit Strike

not bad for hitting early spike

I

Imbue [E]

Mystic Expansion

trying out for dash, feels nice. Can buy whatever else if you don't want to ball.

III

Greater Expansion

Gives more spirit res and makes dash and ult very strong. Also buffs all items. Can just buy something else if you want

II

Imbue [E]

Duration Extender

Gives one extra tick for knives, not bad but T3's just offer more value with better slot efficiency

III

Superior Duration

Works on literally everything on shiv, making you do more damage and tankier since it buffs bloodletting. Also buffs all items.

II

Suppressor

idk, item is good

II

Active

Slowing Hex

op

I

Rebuttal

burgerbox

I

Extra Health

lot of hp for 800 souls, can buy in lane if needed

II

Debuff Reducer

debuff resist/cc reduction, likely needed as you will be focused if performing well. Builds into spellbreak/unstoppable

II

Healbane

Anti heal and heal on kill. Good if snowballing off of a lot of kills.

II

Enchanter's Emblem

great stats now, we get around 30% spirit res with our other items. Sell for spirit res later if out of slots

II

Battle Vest

cheap bullet res

III

Active

Metal Skin

for burst gun heroes like haze, silver, maybe venator

III

Fortitude

Still fine but there are better options. You get good sustain anyway from heal troopers

IV

Active

Phantom Strike

to engage on easy targets
