Description
6/22 update: Big change to the AP order and some of the early game items.
having 3/2/2/2 at 21k makes you really strong midgame. Max rabbit or ult after based on enemy lineup. only getting 29 AP without urns means we can never max assistant now.
Feel free to ask me any questions on the Sinclair discord @RAIGEKI
Item Build
Lane
Buy order of 800s changes based on how lane is going. rushing t3 bolt with all this spirit is a huge power spike and farm enabler.
Keep wave perma pushed into the enemy, our hero plays much easier when enemy is stuck under their tower. Sell for slot later
with just this we can hit entire neutral camps with bolt when redirected to the middle. Practice this in explore map first as bolt targeting is very wonky.
This timed with T3 bolt is one of the biggest power spikes in the game. You can just start one shotting people at this point or take any t3 camp on the map besides the warehouse.
Big bolt dmg spike, we have to buy this before improved spirit or we get scammed.
Consider if Jesus barrier is correct this game or not
Scales with spirit power now and easily hits 600+ barrier on a low cd. If against multiple heroes that have to proc it to fight you always buy it.
Core items
Roughly in order
Not as busted as it used to be but still puts out a lot of damage and gives good spirit power
busted item that procs on everything you do and gives spirit
busted item that procs on everything you do and gives spirit
The best mobility item on this hero and its not close. Once you have this you can control waves and farm jungle while still joining every fight on the map from a height position.
More of everything!
Amazing for bolt / rabbit / actives and 90% of the ults you steal.
Massive raw dmg increase to everything. with 200+ spirit bolts do insane damage and so do most ultimates we steal.
Usual Lategame Items
Get echo first if you max rabbit before ult. Diviners first if you maxed ult before rabbit.
Always going to be broken alongside maxed rabbit. If you max rabbit before ult then no other item will be as impactful as this one.
Good for all of your stuff and most ultimates you steal.
Just a really solid item when you're stealing something every fight. ability duration is one of our best stats too.
Other lategame stuff to consider
If the game really won't end and you're richer than god consider some of these
Good if ur stealing warden / seven ult specifically every fight
Not as good as it used to be with decay stacking it but scourge / spirit burn stack this well and its extremely good with seven ult
can throw on either your beefiest gorilla or yourself if you're stealing warden / yamato ults. Funny with carpet too
Usually hits their whole team with all the aoe we get, I only get this really late game if they have a ton of healing
Extremely good item with how much ability range we build. If you're against a bunch of close range idiots and have echo shard already this is a fine buy.
Works well with a lot of ultimates and items like scourge / spirit burn
Other situationals
Usually buy this at some point in most lanes for me or my lane partner but if you are completely dominating you can skip it
Rarely ever buy this but its good vs silences and stake build vindictas
Best anti gun hero item on this hero and often necessary to use seven and warden ults properly, we get a good amount of duration from our items so this pulls extra weight.
Nerfed to the point I wouldn't ever really buy it, but could come up very lategame against pick heavy comps
Always a solid item, good if you are playing more around big ult steals like dynamo
Good against pocket / wraith to save teammates, gives a big ability range bonus too
If you're stealing warden / seven / dynamo ults and really need them to full channel
Good if Vindicta is owning your team
