left to right / any order


I
Melee Lifesteal
gun upgrades don't do much early, so it's INFINITELY better to build tanky. builds into lifestrike.


I
Extra Regen
good quality of life item to have, helps you stay alive in lane.


II
Slowing Bullets
builds towards your 4.8k gun investment, movespeed slow is desireable in ult form. sell late game if needed


III
Express Shot
HUGE POWERSPIKE! use in conjunction with your [SLAM FIRE] ability for massive damage. great for getting your ult sooner.


I
Extra Stamina
builds into stamina mastery, frees you from 2 stamina prison. makes ganking other lanes easier.


III
Lifestrike
you heal a LOT from this item! it'll be one of your main healing sources in lane, use your 2 on enemies for heals and use light melees sparingly during ult.
left to right / any order


I
Sprint Boots
helps you rotate/move around the map quicker.


II
Healing Booster
great upgrade from extra regen! boosts life steal in ult and lifestrike healing. can sell later.


III
Torment Pulse
good consistent damage to get your ult sooner and to do more damage in ult form.


I
Active
Healing Rite
if your lane is genuinely unsurvivable and you need all the hp you can get.


I
Rebuttal
buy if enemies like to throw punches a lot and you have parry bound.
left to right / any order


II
Bullet Resist Shredder
good cheap bullet resist shred, procs using torment pulse, gets you to that 4.8k spirit spike


III
Point Blank
good gun damage improvement, adds even more movement slow to your bullets, works in ult now


II
Enduring Speed
more resists against movement slow is good during fights.


III
Stamina Mastery
great for catching people while in ult form alongside slowing bullets.
pick 1 or 2


III
Spirit Resilience
good against team with heavy spirit damage. look to get spellbreaker after, if necessary.


III
Active
Metal Skin
good against a team with tons of gun damage. however, buy plated armor instead to prevent on hit affects (e.g. afterburn, djinn mark, fixation)


III
Active
Warp Stone
recommended to buy alongside spirit res or metal skin! along with your 2, gives your character great movement and escapability.
buy inhibitor mid game if ahead.


III
Berserker
you get weapon damage stacks very easily as silver, by the time you ult you should have very strong gun damage. BUY TOXIC BULLETS INSTEAD IF YOU WANT


IV
Inhibitor
this item is BROKEN right now, anyone you fight against gets mega nerfed by the dmg penalty and healing reduction. bonus health and weapon dmg is very good too.


IV
Silencer
weakens any hero you fight that uses spirit based abilities against you.


IV
Frenzy
gives you a second wind whenever you're half hp or lower.
read annotations. buy these items any time, or simply ignore if you wish.


II
Debuff Reducer
good quality of life item to have, makes being hit by cc/stuns/roots more bearable, upgrades into spellbreaker/unstoppable which is also very good.


III
Counterspell
if you don't know what this item is good for, don't buy it.


III
Toxic Bullets
great anti heal choice, makes tanky heroes like shiv/abrams/billy easier to fight. even better now that you build towards the 4.8k spirit investment spike.


III
Superior Duration
increases the duration of everything you apply to the enemy, e.g. movespeed slow, bola, disarm.. also makes ult longer. READ: buy in place of torment pulse !!


IV
Spellbreaker
DELETES spirit burst damage dealt to you (e.g. grey talon arrow, yamato power slash, etc). very good green to have.


IV
Juggernaut
good upgrade from enduring speed, is another useful item against teams that are mostly gun builds.


IV
Plated Armor
if you're fighting a full team of gun shredders and metal skin won't be enough.


IV
Active
Unstoppable
if you're consistently getting hit by cc/stuns/roots in ult form, pick this item up to become immune to EVERYTHING thrown at you (except damage)


IV
Active
Phantom Strike
buy in place of warp stone if you want to play really aggro and teleport on any enemy to kill them easier.


II
Melee Charge
punchy :3


IV
Crushing Fists
mega punchy >:3
The main thing you will need to know is that your ultimate ability [LYCAN CURSE] turns you into an OP beast and activates after you deal a certain amount of damage to the enemy, so take advantage of the bonus health/resists to dive on somebody and kill them. Make sure to look for fights ONLY when your ult is available! During teamfights, look to sneak up on someone from the side or run in headfirst if you're ahead- look to do as much damage as possible for your ult before the enemies can shut you down. For how this build is structured specifically: the early game focuses on survivability/damage in lane, the mid game focuses on getting your core spirit/gun items, and the late game focuses on getting your shred/anti-heal/damage reduction items.
