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 one of those items to remain in lane and not miss out on souls! Sell the item you picked later.
#Citadel_HeroBuilds_MidGame
Buy left to right. Always try to use Cultist Sacrifice on Tier 3 Neutrals, and use Puddle Punch (3) with Spirit Snatch to weaken your enemies and empower yourself! You can buy Spirit Shredder Bullet as an alternative to Mystic Shot.
It'll go on cooldown even if you miss. Use your alt-fire to land it easily. You can buy Spirit Shredder Bullet as an alternative. |Sell for Spiritual Overflow|
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).
Survival
If you find yourself dying a lot, or simply taking a large amount of damage, consider one (or more!) of those items.
Taking too much GUN damage, too quickly? Take this. It'll give you a nice Barrier and out of combat regen.
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!
#Citadel_HeroBuilds_LateGame
You can buy left to right, or in the order you wish after Focus Lens. If the enemy is building more Spirit Resistance against you (40% or above), check the category below to fight back and lower their Spirit Resistance! If the enemy has a lot of healing, get Spirit Burn sooner! Read annotations to know what to pick!
Actives
Those powerful items will allow you to tailor your playstyle to something that suits you more! From damage, to healing, to crowd control, a wide variety!
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.
Extra Anti-Spirit Resistance
If you realize at some point that the enemy is building more Spirit Resistance against you during Late Game, consider those items. Spirit Rend requires you to shoot your enemy and land headshots. Crippling Headshot is easier to trigger with more bonuses, but is way more expensive. Only get Mystic Vulnerability if you plan to build Escalating Exposure and Spirit Burn.
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.
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.
