I

Extra Regen

This item allows you to fight basically forever in lane, gives you the most breathing room an 800 can give Abrams.

I

Melee Lifesteal

This item is squarely alright. It builds into Lifestrike which is the important thing, but of note is you will heal the full 100 off a light melee. It does not scale with damage dealt.

III

Lifestrike

This, in my opinion, is THE spike Abrams needs to perform in lane. Additionally, its about 20 healing per second if you light melee a neutral off cooldown. This is MORE than healing rite.

II

Active

Cold Front

This item is slot and stat track inefficient, however its strong enough to ignore both of those things. Significantly more burst and a slow.

II

Opening Rounds

Do not underestimate this item, for one thing it's overstatted, for another, it consistently increases my burst off charge by a crazy amount.

I

Spirit Strike

Very skippable but can help if your duo laner is high spirit burst like GT, Viscous or Pocket.

II

Imbue

Compress Cooldown

Buy this item whenever you can afford to fight every wave and need Charge to have a 28s cooldown. Otherwise it can be saved for after lane.

I

Monster Rounds

This is one of the strongest items in the game. I tend to purchase it when I need to shove waves hard, need the extra regen, and/or need to kill a Guardian or Walker.

I

Close Quarters

Melee heavy lane, 20% resist to that for this cheap is not to be overlooked especially when it increases your damage by a decent amount too.

I

Active

Healing Rite

Buy this when you're on <100HP in lane (or whenever you feel appropriate). Just regen will not suffice for keeping you healthy enough for poke, trades, and killing the wave.

I

Rebuttal

Melee heavy lanes or against Viscous for puddle punch. Buy when you see fit if you can land parries.

II

Melee Charge

This item is ordered such that you will soon after have T2 Shoulder Charge. However, this item also lets you obliterate Walkers early if you know the tech, and as such can be bought sooner to do so.

III

Spirit Snatch

This item is insanely overpowered. It is consistently doing 3k-4k damage a game for me, and the stat STEAL is absurd. It stacks multiple times, always this first.

III

Torment Pulse

This is a significant amount of my damage in games, around 4k-5k. Superior Cooldown follows soon after to make it tick faster.

III

Superior Cooldown

Helps everything in the build immensely. Makes Tpulse tick faster too.

II

Healing Booster

This item is insane value for Siphon Life and Lifestrike. You can sell this later for some other form of survivability, like a Resilience or Plated.

III

Active

Warp Stone

You can choose between this or Phantom Strike (when ahead or vs fliers/gun carries/squishies) as your primary engage option. The edge this item has is its function as an escape tool if you're good.

II

Mystic Shot

+7 spirit, 1600 weapon item. CAN substitute for Melee Charge in the build at your preference.

II

Spirit Shredder Bullets

This item can also substitute for Melee Charge at your preference.

III

Spirit Rend

Consider this if you build SSB.

III

Point Blank

Good item against a lot of melee characters but otherwise really ehhhhhh on this build.

IV

Crushing Fists

Only consider this if it's late game and you bought Melee Charge.

III

Berserker

This item is all the Weapon Damage you could ever want with some Bullet Resist on top for pretty cheap.

IV

Active

Ethereal Shift

Functionally better Counterspell, but more expensive. Consider buying if you have the money for it and need it.

II

Active

Restorative Locket

Still a great item, buy whenever you feel it's necessary to.

II

Debuff Reducer

Builds into this thing which you care about more -->

III

Active

Debuff Remover

<-- Builds from this thing, cleanses most things you care about and heals you.

III

Bullet Resilience

Armor. Generally extremely outclassed by Plated Armor and Juggernaut, whereas Spirit Resilience is at least good.

III

Spirit Resilience

Armour. This is the most spirit resist you'll need unless an enemy team is REALLY spirit heavy. Spirit carries tend to fall off later while gun carries dont.

III

Counterspell

Walmart E-Shift for things like Wraith or Shiv or delayed CC like Seven or Warden.

III

Fortitude

They nerfed your HP pool but moreover this keeps you active on the map.

II

Healbane

Anti-heal woohoo. Best option for it on this build.

II

Spirit Lifesteal

If you really wanna be a wizard I guess.

II

Active

Return Fire

This item is insane for 1600, scales with the enemy gun carries into the late game and makes them afraid to shoot you.

II

Enduring Speed

Anti-slows, and helps you rotate faster too. Builds out of sprint boots if you buy that.

IV

Juggernaut

This is outclassed by Plated Armor BUT you will end up buying both against fed gun carries.

IV

Spellbreaker

Mid item with stats you like.

IV

Witchmail

Still good on Abrams as long as you are careful not to use your ult.

IV

Plated Armor

Insane against gun carries, basically always buy late if needed.

IV

Healing Tempo

This is an item you buy when its lategame and you're rich. Brings Infernal Resilience to 15%.

IV

Active

Colossus

Buy this whenever you need both kinds of resists on one slot, or just generally need to be tankier.

IV

Active

Unstoppable

Channel your inner gorilla, useful against heavy CC and maybe for stealing mid with warp stone.

IV

Active

Phantom Strike

Fliers squishies and gun carries oh my. Buy this when you need to, it's not core.

IV

Active

Infuser

If you really wanna be a Wizard I guess.
