Monster Rounds

Our level 1 gun dps is pathetic so this lets us kill troopers easier and not get constantly pushed into

I

Active

Healing Rite

Best lane sustain and builds into nova, buy it when you or your lane partner needs it.

I

Extra Charge

Try to save your bolt charges for when you drop assistant until you have T2 bolt.

II

Opening Rounds

best 1600 gun imo, gives spirit and lets us kill troopers very fast to keep wave prio

I

Extra Spirit

Time to finally build spirit items

I

Imbue [E]

Mystic Expansion

Makes bolts easier to hit and enables you to farm multiple creeps in a camp with them.

III

Rapid Recharge

We buy this here to time it with T3 bolt. Time to one shot people.

III

Active

Cultist Sacrifice

Still a busted item and gives ability range. If you're playing active with your team at this point you can delay this and buy the greens instead.

II

Active

Guardian Ward

Ability range is the best stat, can upgrade this into DB later if the game calls for it. Can switch this out for Healbane / Reactive if the game calls for it.

III

Active

Healing Nova

Can switch this out for warp stone or veil walker based on the game. I like this item a lot for the backliner nuking support playstyle.

III

Imbue [E]

Surge of Power

Huge damage spike

III

Superior Cooldown

More of our op buttons

III

Greater Expansion

With this we are up to 53% ability range when cultist is active. Basically makes any ult you steal insane as well as much easier to land rabbits and bolts.

II

Improved Spirit

spirit good

IV

Boundless Spirit

Huge damage increase to everything. We don't need more damage after this.

III

Superior Duration

Really strong for rabbit, items, and most ults you steal.

IV

Transcendent Cooldown

Don't like getting this until we have full actives.

IV

Imbue [E]

Active

Echo Shard

Always broken with max rabbit.

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

Magic Carpet

Yoshi plz buff this item I beg you. The movespeed stacking nerf basically made it so we can't combine this with any other movespeed items :(

IV

Active

Divine Barrier

Good if getting owned by pocket / drifter / ivy ult. Also good to counter enemy curses on your teammates.

IV

Diviner's Kevlar

Just a solid item, I rarely buy this but its never a bad choice

III

Active

Alchemical Fire

Really good with how much ability range we have. If you have a ton of gun damage on your team this amplifies it a lot.

III

Tankbuster

only affects 1 bolt out of the 50 you throw per fight.

IV

Imbue [E]

Mystic Reverb

Extremely overpriced for how much damage we get from it. stand 4 meters behind your assistant when throwing bolts and you can get double reverb procs on your bolts.

IV

Spirit Burn

If you need antiheal buy decay / healbane. This item is terrible ever since they made it go on CD from creeps.

II

Healbane

Buy over enchanters if have a bunch of big chungus

II

Reactive Barrier

Even with the CD nerf this is still really good for heroes that scale lots of spirit like Sinclair. Good against abrams / bebop / haze / paradox

III

Active

Metal Skin

Best anti gun hero item on this hero and often necessary to use seven and warden ults properly. Now that capacitor is nerfed this item is very good.

III

Active

Warp Stone

Good escape / mobility tool, really good to enable ults like dynamo / warden

III

Veil Walker

Still really good, if you're playing around ult steals a lot this makes it easier to get whatever you want. Also makes ratting walkers easier

II

Active

Slowing Hex

Good against the heroes that are hardest to hit with bolt and our worst matchup (calico)

III

Active

Decay

Good against tanky cores like geist and shiv

III

Active

Disarming Hex

Absurdly strong vs gun heavy lineups.

III

Active

Knockdown

If vindicta / gt is popping off this is good

IV

Active

Curse

The best answer in the game to wraith and seven. I don't really buy it for anyone else.
