Hollow Point Ward

good damage early, also good into spirit damage lanes + buffs your own abilities dmg

item
Rapid Rounds

synergizes well, you can all-in at this point if enemy abilities are down + if your aim is good

item
Active
Infuser
500

OP. pop before 2 pops

if you need hp regen early, buy this + MR + regen. otherwise this item just makes your 2 hit like a truck

item
Extra Health

gets you tanky, simple

stamina + vyper = good time. also helps you avoid ganks

early help

can buy earlier. pls start farming with this but remember minions > camps

After Lane

usually left to right, but make good decisions for each game

item
Quicksilver Reload
1250

on 1. does good poke early, also the ability is pretty spamable so this is just good

item
Bullet Lifesteal
1250

lifesteal = good pretty simple

item
Enchanter's Barrier
1250

makes your 2 and ult insane damage. also very good vs spirit lanes

item
Combat Barrier
1250

good for gun but imo not necessary but definitely still very good

item
Active
Withering Whip
1250
item
Berserker
1250

if gun damage is a problem and escalating isn't enough OR you have a free slot, buy this. IMO not a priority item.

armors

item
Spirit Armor
1250

good into most teams, just makes you tankier in general too

item
Bullet Armor
1250
item
Improved Spirit Armor
4250

if you're against like talon, yamato, AND lash, other burst spirit characters, buy this earlier if you're struggling

Mid game

read annotations and buy what makes sense. DON'T HAVE TO BUY EVERYTHING

item
Escalating Resilience
3000

prio this vs lots of gun damage. otherwise you can wait

item
Burst Fire
3000

90% of the time i buy this before the other items here. because tesla + burst = faster farm and the passive is great for escaping/catching

item
Crippling Headshot
6000

best dmg item in the game

item
Point Blank
3500

i like this vs calico, abrams, characters that melee a lot or just force themselves close to you. good vs gun teams also, the slow is good too

item
Superior Stamina
3500

most underrated item. being able to double jump and double air dash is INCREDIBLY good. i buy this when they don't have too much lockdown

item
Silencer
6000

i've been buying this as my first 6k lately and it's super good vs spirit teams or yamato/geist/dynamo/mo AKA EVERY GAME. also OP with debuff remover

Most OP Items

item
Debuff Reducer
1250

this item is never bad, please fit it in somewhere

item
Active
Debuff Remover
4250

once you get this you can just ignore a lot of characters. you also can just press this whenever for a heal

Late game

PLEASE READ ANNOTATIONS!!!

item
Frenzy
7250

same thing as berserker. if gun damage = problem buy this, the passive is good obviously but IMO if you're 50% hp that's scary

item
Lucky Shot
6000

if you are way ahead, enemy isn't really focusing you, you don't need survivability, get this AFTER burst fire.

item
Active
Colossus
6000

in games where i am ahead but worry about being tanky, this item gives you 40% both resists and a ton of HP. very good

item
Active
Unstoppable
6000

vs teams that debuff remover doesn't work against (dynamo, lash, holliday, pocket, bebop) this item is necessary.

not often buys but worth sometimes

item
Active
Warp Stone
3000

i buy this early sometimes when holliday/lash/dynamo/paradox/bebop are on the same teams

item
Hunter's Aura
3000

i buy this when i'm way too fed and don't already have crippling

item
Active
Ethereal Shift
3000

can be good if you have to frontline. or if lash/paradox/bebop are problems on enemy team and you need protection ASAP
