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

Decay

Rage generation, scales well, and easy to use. Really strong early spike. Will likely force dispels to be bought.

I

Extra Charge

one more knife. You don't need to upgrade this if you plan to go dash build later.

I

Imbue [E]

Mystic Expansion

trying out for dash, feels nice. can buy whatever else you want.

II

Healbane

Anti heal and heal on kill. Good for most of the game, but sell late when out of slots.

II

Enchanter's Emblem

great stats now, we can get close to 40% spirit res with dispel. Can buy return fire for gun if it's a problem or spirit lifesteal if you want

II

Reactive Barrier

Just makes you really hard to kill and gives spirit res. Can replace if somehow not a reactive game.

III

Torment Pulse

good easy damage if you can stay close or vs melee/close range heroes. Can go silence wave or whatever else if not a good torment game

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

I

Extra Regen

just a lot of regen in lane if you want to fight

I

Monster Rounds

if you really need to anchor or clear wave

I

Active

Golden Goose Egg

secret eggmaxxing technique. sell for big decay spike.

III

Active

Dispel Magic

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

II

Imbue [E]

Compress Cooldown

For dash resets, can sit on this for a bit if you need other items

III

Superior Cooldown

dash resets, knives, and bloodletting uptime.

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

IV

Imbue [E]

Mystic Reverb

This transitions us to a dash build, healing us and slowing to help the echo dash hit. Great value if you're hitting multiple dash resets.

III

Bullet Resilience

default item for gun damage, or look at metal skin vs haze/silver/ven. Warp is still a good item

III

Spirit Resilience

Don't need to rush this early since hp will be lower and enchanters, dispel, and reactive give 35% resist already. Can sell enchanters now

III

Active

Warp Stone

Chase/disengage tool. Great item, but takes an active slot and with M2 movement buffed it might not be as needed every game

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

Debuff Reducer

debuff resist/cc reduction, good against pocket, mo, infern. Builds into spellbreak/unstoppable

IV

Active

Unstoppable

anti cc, also good for punching rejuv crystal

IV

Transcendent Cooldown

uptime for actives and more torment procs.

II

Spirit Lifesteal

some early sustain, can buy whenever you want

IV

Active

Infuser

Good option for dashing but has less uptime than reverb and takes an active slot. probably good though

IV

Plated Armor

buy for heroes who mainly 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

Arctic Blast

cc and gives great burst to confirm echo dash

IV

Boundless Spirit

Big damage amp for abilities + items.

IV

Active

Ethereal Shift

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

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/

III

Active

Silence Wave

Silence for mobility heroes (mina, lash, pocket, calico) and does flat damage for rage gen that can also be amped if you already have rage.

III

Radiant Regeneration

The Dark Lord.

III

Tankbuster

Much better option now with health buffed.

II

Active

Cold Front

Good early flat damage, wave clear, and slow.

I

Extra Spirit

for 4.8 spike

II

Improved Spirit

if you want boundless later

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

Mystic Vulnerability

stack more spirit res shred and also upgrades to EE, good if you want to commit to knife build.

IV

Escalating Exposure

Good shred and damage amp to help knives scale into the late game if you want to stick with knife build.

II

Suppressor

idk, item is good

I

Rebuttal

burgerbox

I

Extra Health

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

II

Active

Restorative Locket

i think this item has potential

II

Active

Return Fire

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

II

Healing Booster

could be good now that it works with bloodletting

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

Juggernaut

If you need more anti gun besides plated
