Item Build
#Citadel_HeroBuilds_EarlyGame
Buy left to right. Monster Rounds will allow you to keep the Troopers at bay, Arcane Surge is used to empower your next ability, Guardian Ward will allow you to keep your laning partner safe when they go in, or try to get out. Feel free to grab an Extra Starter!
Extra Starters
Healing Rite later turns into Rescue Beam. Pick Restorative Locket if the enemy spam abilities. Rebuttal if your enemies melee a lot. Extra Regen for more passive regen.
#Citadel_HeroBuilds_MidGame
Buy left to right. Use Rescue Beam on someone in The Cube (2) to pull them to you safely! Positioning is key, so always try to remain behind your allies rather than in front of them. Use Divine Barrier on allies to give them a barrier or cleanse them of Debuffs, like Infernus' burn for example! Do NOT use it on someone in The Cube (2), the barrier still takes damage.
As a support, you'll want to get passive soul gain to compensate for how little you'll be able to farm. Sprint speed will allow you to get to your allies faster.
Your bread and butter. You'll use it to pull your allies to safety, this even works when your allies are in The Cube (2)! You can also simply use it to heal yourself and an ally.
Debuff Remover but stronger and for an ally too! Does remove Ultimate-type debuffs (Drifter, Pocket...). Do NOT use it on someone in The Cube (2).
Survival (For yourself)
If you happen to be dying a lot, or simply taking way too much damage, you should 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!
Sustain, survival, fire rate and damage! Sell it during Mid/Late game for stronger resistances if needed.
#Citadel_HeroBuilds_LateGame
You can grab Alchemical Fire or another Active from the lists on the right. If there are not enough gun-oriented heroes on your team, or too much mobility on the enemy team, do not get Alchemical Fire. You can consider some of Debuffs items below to empower Alchemical Fire with various debuffs if you bought it! You can also consider more damage if you want!
Increases the range of your abilities, but also your items, like Rescue Beam, Achemical Fire and more!
Increases the duration of all your abilities like the Cube (2), but also your items and buffs like Healing Tempo!
Debuff Actives
These will help your team take down strong opponents easily! Read each annotations to know what to pick against who you're facing! Recommendation: Spirit Sap & Silence Wave or Knockdown.
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.
A decent anti-heal. Useful against Geist, Abrams, Mo&Krill, McGinnis and more. DO NOT USE AGAINST VICTOR.
Useful against: Haze, Wraith, Drifter, Infernus, Mina, Mirage, McGinnis, Seven, Vindicta, Vyper, and Warden.
Alchemical Fire Debuffs
All of those items will trigger once an enemy steps on the fire of Alchemical Fire or when you hit them with Splatter (1)! Recommendation: Suppressor & Healbane.
Support Actives
These actives can give your team a huge advantage during a fight! Heroic Aura to help your gun carry, Scourge to help your frontliner, or Echo Shard for DOUBLE Cube (2)!
Situational & Optional
These items are NOT part of the build but can be bought to create a playstyle that suits you more. Consider Healing Tempo if you have Healing Nova!
Since you'll hardly farm, this will help you take Tier 3s. Do not buy if you bought Trophy Collector.
Lowers the enemy's spirit resistance. Can be triggered by Puddle Punch (3) |Upgrade into Spirit Snatch|
