I

Extra Charge

Try to sync dropping assistant with 2 bolt charges until you have t2 bolt. I often solo kill someone on wave 3 with assistant + 2 bolts.

I

Monster Rounds

Keep lane shoved constantly and take tower poke dmg whenever you can. If you already are keeping them stuck under tower without this you can skip it.

I

Imbue

Mystic Expansion

Expansion is needed to be able to farm neutral camps properly with bolt

III

Rapid Recharge

God tier power spike with t3 bolt

III

Imbue

Surge of Power

Another god tier power spike, you will be one shotting people at this point in the game or killing walkers solo.

III

Veil Walker

Amazing for staying on map forever and for sneaking building damage. With all the movespeed we buy and get from spirit this makes us very hard to catch and very fast at rotating.

II

Enduring Speed

move speed good

II

Improved Spirit

Builds into boundless later and puts us at 9.6k spirit investment if we didn't buy any situationals

III

Greater Expansion

Amazing for bolt / rabbit / actives and almost every ult you steal.

III

Superior Cooldown

All our power is in our abilities so we want more of them.

IV

Boundless Spirit

Massive raw damage increase to everything and makes us even faster.

III

Tankbuster

I don't like this item traditionally on this hero but its better with all the tank heroes this meta. Makes reverb better too if you buy that

IV

Imbue

Mystic Reverb

I rarely buy this but if you just want more damage its the next best thing after boundless

IV

Spirit Burn

Really easy to proc and benefits a lot from all the aoe we buy. really good against ult seven / warden or anything else that calls for big antiheal

IV

Active

Magic Carpet

I don't buy this every game like I used to because veil walker and all the movespeed is enough but this is still the best positioning item in the game to land good bolts in teamfights

III

Superior Duration

Usually buy after echo or scourge. Some ultimates like warden / drifter warrant buying this earlier.

IV

Active

Scourge

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

IV

Imbue

Active

Echo Shard

Always broken with max rabbit. Until rabbit is removed this will always be the most reliable lategame thing we can do.

IV

Active

Vortex Web

Strong option post echo shard if you bought slowing hex

IV

Transcendent Cooldown

Better to fill open slots but if you're slotlocked or have a ton of actives you can upgrade to this.

IV

Active

Divine Barrier

solid active with ability range on it. Good if you are getting owned by pocket or drifter ult.

I

Active

Healing Rite

best lane sustain option. I buy this most games but if you dominate you can skip it

II

Reactive Barrier

God item if their team enables it. This easily gets to 650+ barrier with all the spirit we buy.

II

Healbane

Not my job but sometimes good vs heal heavy lineups

III

Counterspell

Amazing item now after the buffs. If they have telegraphed spells you NEED to dodge (wraith ult, lash ult, seven stun) this is always a strong buy.

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 dynamo or seven ult every fight and are against a lot of stuns

II

Active

Slowing Hex

Really strong item to enable kills on elusive heroes. heroes like lash / dash infernus are really hard to hit with bolts if we don't have this.

II

Suppressor

Broken vs m1 heavy lineups

III

Active

Knockdown

Good against Vindicta, Lash, and channeling ultimates
