I

Cara a cara

Incredibly soul efficient item. Early game, your gun does quite a bit more damage than your beam, and close quarters always amplifies it. Can keep until slot locked, or even longer if enemy is melee.

I

Regeneración adicional

I buy this frequently in lane, especially after the slight Resto Shot nerfs. Can be substituted with Healing Rite if you are especially low.

I

Carga extra

Great for poke and for heals (at 2.6k)

I

Explosión mística

Been liking this over QSR due to the buff to Tankbuster.

II

Emblema del hechicero

If you can afford to live until 1600 in a spirit heavy lane, this is a great option. Must buy every game.

I

Imbuir

Expansión mística

This allows for much more consistent domes. Aim to isolate 2v1s with your dome.

II

Imbuir

Compresión de recarga

Getting more frequent domes allows you to be more efficient/effective on the map, and take advantageous fights.

II

Activo

Guardián centinela

Great against Bebop, Lash, Pocket, or any form of burst damage. Especially good if there is a pocket on the team in general, as you can upgrade it to Divine Barrier.

I

Balas mata monstruos

If you are in a stall lane and need to clear wave easier, monster rounds is a great option.

I

Activo

Rito de curación

Buy every game, sooner or later. Can buy earlier in lane if especially low.

I

Tiro restaurador

If used correctly, gives the strongest consistent source of regen you can get early. However, this is difficult to use on Kelvin due to his low bullet velocity. Also 6% weapon dmg cuz wtf

II

Potenciador de curación

Insanely strong item on Kelvin, buy this every game.

III

Activo

Rayo de rescate

Always buy this item, it's simply too good. Buy early if going against a Bebop, Holliday, Paradox, Mo & Krill, Lash, etc. Can afford to delay if there's no pick on enemy team.

III

Tiempo de recarga superior

Been experimenting buying this later since Transcendent Cooldown was released. It's still a very strong item on Kelvin, but can afford to delay after you get some utility.

III

Duración superior

Will rarely buy this item, unless you have multiple actives that rely on duration (primarily curse, also includes Heroic Aura, Divine Barrier, Slowing Hex, etc.)

III

Expansión superior

Will primarily buy this if slot locked or need larger range on items (especially Rescue Beam). Remember, though, that it becomes more difficult to isolate small fights the bigger your dome is.

IV

Tiempo de recarga trascendente

Buy when locked for slots or have 3+ actives

IV

Ritmo curativo

Been buying this less and less, still very strong when you have 2-3+ M1 carries. The stats are very potent, the issue becomes keeping it applied to multiple people

II

Activo

Botas rápidas

Really strong tempo buy on Kelvin can buy instead or in conjunction with Enduring Speed.

II

Velocidad persistente

Very strong item that allows for quick rotations; also allows for faster movement in a teamfight

III

Activo

Gema de teletransporte

Warp Stone is an underbought item on Kelvin, with many practical uses throughout the map. Quite strong against characters like Lash and Haze, or if needing a quick dome by using Warp Stone -> Dome

III

Activo

Aura heroica

Insanely strong item to support your M1 carries or if the enemy team has significant gun damage. This also gives 2m/s sprint speed for some odd reason (Yoshi?)

III

Activo

Fuego alquímico

Been experimenting with this more when wanting to deal more damage

III

Activo

Nova curativa

Not always necessary, but I have been buying this more and more simply due to how strong it is for team heals. Often my 2nd or 3rd highest healing source when I buy it.

IV

Activo

Barrera divina

Insanely strong counter to Pocket, but I have saved people a countless number of times, especially when the enemy team have lots of DoT or debuffs.

IV

Activo

Restaurador

Would recommend buying this right before or even after you buy Transcendent Cooldown. Strong against Lash ult, or in sustained fights.

II

Activo

Hechizo ralentizador

Strong into any characters with movement abilities (over half of the roster), and even those without, as the dash distance reduction really hinders movement.

III

Activo

Derribar

Great against Seven, Lash, Vindicta, Ivy, Grey Talon, Mo & Krill (when stunned out of burrow, he just dies), Bebop, and Dynamo

III

Activo

Hechizo desarmante

Very situational item, save up for curse if possible.

IV

Activo

Maldición

Great against strong teamfight channel ults (Dynamo, Lash, Bebop, Haze, McGinnis, Warden during his channel (hand up) phase), and also to shut down carries (it really screws Pocket, for example, over)

III

Rompetanques

Very strong ever since the pure damage buff. A great option if you feel that your team is lacking spirit damage. Buy only after max nade

III

Recarga rápida

Buy if you are either slot locked, have max nade, or need more consistent heals.

II

Maldición anticura

Fantastic item, especially necessary against characters like Warden, Abrams, Dynamo, and Mo & Krill.

II

Supresor

Can buy in lane against 2 m1s, simply buy if they have gun carries.

II

Vulnerabilidad mística

Unfortunately weak shred in comparison to it's bullet resist shred counterparts. Ideally you have someone like a Vin or a Seven who can apply this, or an m1 who buys Spirit Rend.

II

Destructor de resistencia balística

Very strong if you have multiple gun carries, and is nice if duo'd with a gun/melee character.

III

Aura del cazador

Really strong if isolating people in domes with your gun/melee characters (they will literally explode with -24% bullet resist). Underbought item

III

Resiliencia espiritual

Along with Counterspell, this is your primary method to combat Spirit Damage (unless you can save up for Counterspell I suppose)

III

Resiliencia balística

Rare buy, as Plated Armor and Juggernaut are both better options to save up for.

IV

Armadura plateada

Especially strong against on hit characters (Infernus afterburn, Haze fixation, Seven power surge, etc.) or against on hit items (e.g. Lucky Shot or Tesla Bullets).

IV

Monstruo

Can buy as an upgrade to Enduring Speed if lacking slots, very strong against both Gun carries and Melee characters.

III

Contrahechizo

Great against Lash, Geist, Shiv, and CC heavy comps.

IV

Activo

Imparable

Main use is against Dynamo, ideally use Counterspell instead.
