I

Restorative Shot

Sell Later (for heal and damage in lane)

Deadlock Item

I

Monster Rounds

builds into CS and helps you shove lane (also really good because of the influx of graves and rem players ATM)

Deadlock Item

Deadlock Item

Bullet Lifesteal

3.2k/4.8k for green investment spike

Deadlock Item

II

Enduring Speed

yay, now you have more health from the 4.8k investment :D (also give more move speed on the character that REALLY needs it)

Deadlock Item

II

Imbue

Compress Cooldown

His ult is still REALLY GOOD after the nerfs (timed with when you MAX the ULTIMATE)

Deadlock Item

III

Hollow Point

35% weapon damage, on top of -9% shread, on TOP of 60% investment!

Deadlock Item

III

Imbue

Ballistic Enchantment

gets you to 80% invesment and if they are clumped together, you can get around +60% weapon damage from ONE grenade

Deadlock Item

III

Superior Cooldown

Everything gets more uptime

Deadlock Item

IV

Glass Cannon

pretty obvious choice with all the ratiosa

Deadlock Item

II

Recharging Rush

THIS ITEM IS TIMED FOR AFTER YOU MAX YOUR GRENADE, DON'T BUY BEFORE THAT

GENERALY L-R, but pick what makes sense

Deadlock Item

IV

Active

Vampiric Burst

Your survivability after buying Glass Cannon

Deadlock Item

IV

Imbue

Mercurial Magnum

9.6k spirit investment is all you need for the bullet scaling on this item (also gives you SOME resistences but thats not the MAIN reason to get this item)

Deadlock Item

II

Active

Fleetfoot

this and Escalating Resilience get us to the 115% damage investment, also just a really good item in general

Deadlock Item

III

Escalating Resilience

115% damage investment (Also really good stats)

Deadlock Item

IV

Inhibitor

Weapon damage is nothing to rush for (you get nearly the same from slowing bullets) but the damage penalty and anti heal for the enemy is really good

Deadlock Item

IV

Silencer

Anti fun item, generaly amazing against even gun heros, but if there is a victor on the enemy team, it is EVEN BETTER

Counters

BUY AT LEAST ONE (If you don't like useing your brain, just buy spirit resil)

Deadlock Item

III

Spirit Resilience

Almost Always (never NOT valueble)

Deadlock Item

IV

Juggernaut

slot locked pick when against gun or crazy slows

Deadlock Item

IV

Frenzy

better spirit resil if you are ahead because of the firerate

Deadlock Item

III

Counterspell

anti ult/lash item

Deadlock Item

IV

Spellbreaker

for when you are against a lot of spirit burst (transcendent cooldown works on this btw)

Deadlock Item

III

Active

Metal Skin

"Help, their Haze is too fed and keeps solo ulting me!"

Deadlock Item

IV

Crippling Headshot

Generaly a good option late to help you and your team get more damage (also its just anti victor the item)

AVOID THESE NOOB TRAPS

Deadlock Item

III

Rapid Recharge

You don't get the value of the spirit power for your nade, also kinda just not needed, recharging rush is already enough

Deadlock Item

IV

Spellslinger

you need rapid recharge for this to be useful and as stated before it is not very good

Deadlock Item

III

Weighted Shots

The weapon damage seems good, but you sacrifice movement on the already very slow hero. don't buy

Deadlock Item

II

Imbue

Quicksilver Reload

there are WAY better options in lane than this, just wait until merc mag

Deadlock Item

III

Bullet Resilience

You usually just HAVE 30% resists from the rest of your buys PLUS escalating resistance, so you do NOT need this

Deadlock Item

III

Sharpshooter

Move Speed Penailty in NOT worth it

Deadlock Item

I

Extra Regen

You don't really need this item because of resto shot, if you need the regen just get sprint boots

Deadlock Item

I

Active

Healing Rite

same reason as ER

Lightning Scroll

Lightning Scroll
