Description
"Expelling goo!"
The 5th build in the "Concerns of The Deep" series, made for beginners and for fun. They are not aimed to be the most meta builds.
This one is oriented around Splatter (1). You'll be goopin' all over them and dealing huge damage! Extra Credit goes to VeMi!

Item Build
#Citadel_HeroBuilds_EarlyGame
Buy left to right. During laning phase, you want to use Splatter (1) whenever it's off-cooldown and constantly poke your enemies. If you're struggling, buy a Lane Extra, then sell it later.
Lane Extras
Buy 1 if struggling to remain in lane and not miss out on souls! Buy Healing Rite if you plan to get Rescue Beam later!
#Citadel_HeroBuilds_MidGame
Buy left to right. You can buy an extra Survival item if you need! You can buy Rescue Beam instead of Stamina Mastery. You can also sell Arcane Surge, as long as you got Stamina Mastery. If you run out of slots, just upgrade your current items!
Use it with your Alt-Fire (Right Click) to land it easily. Once you have enough Spirit, this can proc Spellbreaker before you use Splatter (1)! |Can be sold for a slot|
Has to charge up, so after using Echo Shard, it will not trigger instantly on your 2nd Splatter (1).b
A lot more stamina, allowing you to move around with ease, but also to activate Arcane Surge more often! You can also buy Rescue Beam instead for a more support-oriented playstyle.
Increases the size of Splatter (1) for a large amount for easier hits with bounces to hit multiple enemies and empower your gun! Also allows you to reach your 4.8k gun investment.
Survival
You can buy 1 or 2 of those items to stay alive longer, or just endure whatever the enemies throw at you!
Taking too much SPIRIT damage? Take this. This item will grant you a nice Barrier and out of combat regen.
Useful against Mirage's Tornado, Bebop's Hook, Abrams' Charge, Haze's Sleep, Paige's immobilize, any stuns (Including getting parried!) and more!
This will help you and your ally survive more! It also provides you with some more range. |Upgrade into: Divine Barrier|
Parry ANYTHING. This means almost any abilities such as Geist's Ultimate, Shiv's Ultimate, Lash's Ultimate, etc...
#Citadel_HeroBuilds_LateGame
Buy left to right. Infuser will allow you to heal a lot, while Spirit Burn will help you stack Escalating Exposure and counter any form of healing. Witchmail is incredibly powerful if you tend to use Goo Ball (4) a lot!
Anti-Healing. Your double Splatter (1) with Echo Shard can easily activate this! Can be bought sooner if you require Antihealing.
Lower the cooldown of all your abitilies but also your items, like Echo Shard, Mystic Reverb, Mystic Shot, Witchmail and more!
You'll take a lot of spirit damage late game, so you'll get a lot of cooldown reduction. Works well with Goo Ball (4). |Replace: Enchanter's Emblem|
Actives
Those powerful items will allow you to tailor your playstyle to something that suits you more! You can get Rescue Beam instead of Stamina Mastery!
A decent anti-heal that deals damage scaling with Spirit. Useful against Geist, Abrams, Mo&Krill, McGinnis and more. DO NOT USE AGAINST VICTOR.
Useful against: Calico, Doorman, Dynamo, Ivy, Kelvin, Geist, Lash, Paige, Pocket, Shiv, Sinclair, Victor and Yamato.
Situational & Counters
These items will help you have a better time against specific enemies or simply allow you to modify your gameplay to something that fits you more. Keep in mind that these items are NOT part of the build. Decay, Knockdown and Curse are powerful actives that can be bought to counter specific heroes.
Will grant you a charge of Puddle Punch (3) by dealing gun damage, but also melee damage, which includes Puddle Punch (3) itself!
Will help you farm while giving you other benefits. Always use on a Tier 3 Neutral enemy (The big, one eyed, alien monster in the jungle).
More Sprint speed and some out of combat health regen. |Replace: Monster Rounds| |Upgrade into: Enduring Speed|
This can be triggered by Puddle Punch (3). You can also simply hit troopers for some healing too, but reduced. |Can be sold for a slot|
Health but also Stamina upon use. Only take if you tend to frontline a lot and facing ability-spamming enemies.
Taking too much GUN damage, too quickly? Take this. It'll give you a nice Barrier and out of combat regen.
This can be triggered by Puddle Punch (3). Try to use your it first before Splatter (1) for extra damage! |Can be sold for a slot|
Useful against: Haze, Wraith, Drifter, Infernus, Mina, Mirage, McGinnis, Seven, Vindicta, Vyper, and Warden.
Useful against: Calico, Infernus, Grey Talon, Kelvin, Lash, Mina, Pocket, Vindicta, Vyper and Wraith.
Useful against: Haze, Wraith, Drifter, Infernus, Mina, Mirage, McGinnis, Seven, Vindicta, Vyper, and Warden.
