7/12 update: Big changes overall due to the meta and how uncounterable spirit resist items are. as always max rabbit or ult first based on enemy lineup.
Feel free to ask me any questions on the Sinclair discord @RAIGEKI
lots of spirit power and items we need to empower bolt early
I
Monster Rounds
Keeps lane pushed so we can play bridge
I
Active
Healing Rite
Don't buy this until you need it but I buy this almost every game. Don't be afraid to buy this for your lane partner
II
Suppressor
Broken item that didn't get nerfed, with t1 bolt and this most heroes can't even kill your creeps so you just chip the tower down every wave
I
Imbue [E]
Mystic Expansion
Expansion is needed to be able to farm neutral camps properly with bolt
III
Rapid Recharge
This timed with T3 bolt is one of the biggest power spikes in the game. At this point you should either be forcing fights and one shotting people or taking every t3 camp on the map
III
Counterspell
Amazing item now after the buffs. If they have telegraphed spells you NEED to dodge (wraith, infernus ult, seven stun) this is always a strong buy.
II
Reactive Barrier
By far the best barrier item if their team enables it.
II
Spirit Shielding
If reactive isn't good then get this instead, sometimes I'll get both if I feel like I need it.
II
Weapon Shielding
Not a big fan of this one but if their team is huge on gun damage its fine.
Roughly in order
III
Greater Expansion
Amazing for bolt / rabbit / actives and almost every ult you steal. Puts us at the juicy 9.6k spirit investment.
II
Enchanter's Emblem
Can get earlier if against heavy spirit damage in lane.
III
Veil Walker
This item is awesome now. The CD is so short and it lets you join fights from wicked angles as well as get away from so much. Its also just nice for general map sustain and playing enemy side of map.
IV
Active
Magic Carpet
MY BELOVED CARPET WE ARE SO BACK. crazy synergy and map presence with veil walker. Lets you do all the macro for your noob team especially now that we blow up buildings with bolts.
IV
Transcendent Cooldown
CDR on barriers / veil / carpet make you nearly unkillable. After this we want to fill our actives
Buy items based on enemy lineup and how much spirit resist they are buying. READ ANNOTATIONS
IV
Active
Divine Barrier
Really solid item almost every game. Gives a lot of ability range and makes you almost impossible to kill as well as nice utility for team. Can use this while carpet is channeling
III
Active
Alchemical Fire
Massive bullet shred for your team with all the spirit we buy. If they're stacking spirit resist I like this item.
IV
Spirit Burn
Really easy to proc and benefits a lot from all the aoe we buy.
IV
Boundless Spirit
Massive raw damage increase to everything and gives us a lot of movespeed. If they are stacking a ton of spirit resist do not buy this as you're better off buying util
IV
Imbue [E]
Active
Echo Shard
The nuclear option that is always broken once you have max rabbit. If enemy team stacks a ton of spirit resist you have to buy this item to stay strong.
III
Superior Duration
Buy if you bought echo shard
IV
Active
Vortex Web
Another strong option after echo shard.
IV
Lightning Scroll
good if stealing warden / seven ult every fight
IV
Active
Scourge
Can throw on your beefiest gorilla against spirit heavy lineups
IV
Active
Infuser
if game goes giga late this gives you 2 health bars in fights. strong paired with stuff like scourge / alch fire / spirit burn
II
Healbane
Always buy against heal heavy lineups
III
Active
Metal Skin
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.
III
Active
Warp Stone
Always a decent item, if you are playing around stealing warden / seven / dynamo ults this is good
IV
Active
Unstoppable
If you're stealing warden / seven / dynamo ults and really need them to full channel
III
Active
Majestic Leap
Alternative to carpet based on preference.
III
Active
Rescue Beam
If your team is big noobs and keeps getting combo'd / hooked / lasso'd
III
Active
Knockdown
Good if Vindicta or Lash is owning your team
