I

Monster Rounds

Substantially speeds up killing troopers.

I

Active

Healing Rite

Can skip this till you need it but I almost always buy it at some point for myself or my lane partner. Helps you sustain while taking sinners too.

I

Extra Charge

Try to save both bolt charges in lane for when assistant is up.

II

Improved Spirit

spirit good

III

Rapid Recharge

4.8k spirit spike, should be able to win any lane from here.

II

Enchanter's Emblem

Spirit good

III

Active

Decay

Does a ton of damage, scales throughout the game, and gives you an antiheal for the beefy heroes that bolts are worse against.

II

Active

Spirit Sap

Just throw this alongside decay on people and it makes them miserable. Don't upgrade to focus lens that item is junk.

III

Veil Walker

Best item to stay active and healed up on the map and look for picks. We're wicked fast with this so play aggressive and be the UAV for your team.

IV

Active

Magic Carpet

We're so back. Best mobility item and has good stats too. abuse this with veil walker to be anywhere on the map and be impossible to punish. This also lets you join fights from rooftops for bolt.

III

Greater Expansion

Makes everything easier to hit and makes almost every ult better.

III

Superior Cooldown

More of our op buttons

IV

Boundless Spirit

Between the nerfs to spirit investment and boundless itself I dont think its worth it to rush this anymore. You still always want it eventually though.

IV

Transcendent Cooldown

More carpets, More decays, More misery

III

Active

Dispel Magic

I buy this most often now out of these items. good against all the slowing hexes and silence waves running around. Mandatory against the new broken mirage.

III

Counterspell

Really good in specific matchups. I buy this vs Drifter and Lash most often.

III

Active

Warp Stone

All around good survivability item and enables a lot of stolen ults

III

Active

Metal Skin

Best anti gun item in the game. Only really buy this if I need it to survive while warden / seven / dynamo ulting

III

Superior Duration

Not needed every game anymore since carpet has duration on it. Still very strong with certain ults or with max rabbit + echo.

IV

Imbue [E]

Active

Echo Shard

Always broken with max rabbit. You can default to this and max rabbit every game and it will always be high impact.

IV

Active

Scourge

Can throw on your beefiest gorilla against spirit heavy lineups. With greater expansion and sup duration this item is crazy.

IV

Active

Vortex Web

Good followup to echo shard for aoe fight control

IV

Active

Divine Barrier

if they have pocket or you're getting owned by drifter ult

IV

Spirit Burn

Scales with spirit now and decay usually procs this on its own. Also the best way to stack escalating if you buy that.

IV

Imbue [E]

Mystic Reverb

Stand 3-4 meters behind ur assistant and you will proc this on both bolts.

IV

Escalating Exposure

Pretty shit item but stacks off spirit burn / scourge / assistant and can be good if you're stealing seven ult every fight.

IV

Diviner's Kevlar

Really strong item if you're target stealing the big ults that require you to be in the enemies face

I

Rebuttal

For Viscous and cavemen.

II

Reactive Barrier

Good against abrams / bebop / haze

III

Spirit Resilience

If you're only dying to purple damage

III

Active

Rescue Beam

If they have heavy pick like mo / bebop / holliday you can upgrade rite into this.

IV

Witchmail

Secret tech vs graves, just run into the zombies and generate infinite tombstones.

IV

Active

Unstoppable

Only consider this item if you're stealing dynamo / seven ult every fight and are against a lot of interupts.

II

Mystic Vulnerability

if buying escalating, good slot filler too

II

Active

Slowing Hex

Good against our hardest matchups (calico, lash, mina, apollo). Strong in tandem with veil walker to setup ganks on the squishy mobile heroes

III

Active

Disarming Hex

Very strong vs gun heavy lineups. Good players buy debuff remover though so I usually prefer metal skin but you can protect your teammates with this.

III

Active

Knockdown

if vind or gt is owning ur team
