The Dark Lord.

cheap spirit res. Can buy return fire/battle vest if low spirit or lot of gun damage

good with radiant now that it works with bloodletting and bugs fixed

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

enable dash resets, buy when dash is maxed

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

more cooldown for knives, dash, bloodletting

Dispel Magic

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

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.

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

Bullet Resilience

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

II

Active

Return Fire

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

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

IV

Active

Infuser

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

III

Active

Silence Wave

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

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.
