Fully annotated!
This is a spirit build! Focused on bombs and ult early. You can put points into slash earlier if you prefer.
Check out my melee bruiser Calico build: 209974
Typically get items from left to right.


I
Robo de Vida Cuerpo a Cuerpo
If you are not taking much damage in lane, skip this. Great healing in lane from punching minions. And we can optionally upgrade this into Lifestrike for more sustain.


II
Activo
Frente Frío
Adds to your burst damage, and the slow is great. We also can upgrade this into Arctic Blast.


I
Golpe Espiritual
We upgrade this to Spirit Snatch. Kind of meh damage early, so you can skip until after Torment Pulse.


III
Robo de Espíritu
Gets you to your 4.8k spirit investment. Spirit resist and power steal is amazing. Plus even more melee damage and it procs on your 2.


I
Espíritu Adicional
Upgrades into Improved Spirit.


II
Espíritu Mejorado
Great for damage in lane on your bombs. If you're going more into slash then you could skip this.


I
Botas de Esprintar
Must buy for rotating around the map and ganking other lanes.


III
Caminante del Velo
Hits your 4.8k vitality investment. You can skip for other 3.2k vitality items. Really nice for rotating around the map, ganking, escaping/survivability, and the heal is great.


I
Cartuchos Monstruosos
Great if enemies are pushing to your tower or you need to push and take objectives.


I
Disparo Reparador
Great healing if you hit it off cooldown, the weapon damage is also nice early. If you can't save for Lifestrike this is a good pickup.


II
Apuñalador
Great damage and stats in lane and gives you move speed for chasing. The foostep sound reduction is also nice. And this gives you wallhacks from the DoT. This is also for the weapon investment bonus.


I
Activo
Rito Curativo
Great for healing if you get really low in lane. Sprint speed is also nice for rotating. If you're going to buy one of these situational healing items, get this one since it stays useful after lane.


I
Refutación
Great against Viscous in lane since it works against Viscous Puddle Punches. Also a very good item against people building melee (Abrams and Billy). Only buy if you can actually parry consistently.


III
Golpe Vital
So much fun. Use off CD with heavy melee in lane for a 100 health heal on a 4 sec CD. Lets you permafight/push in lane. Also slows for both ult damage ticks. Can skip though, and instead go VW or Fort
Roughly left to right.


III
Pulsación de Tormento
Great damage over the course of a game/fight. And makes you a little tankier. Also helps with farming. Just super good core item for us.


II
Velocidad Persistente
Great for move speed in fights and the slow resist.


II
Emblema del Hechicero
Cooldown reduction is really rare so this is a great item since it gives you some. With Lifestrike or Veilwalker this gets you to your 4.8k vitality investment.


II
Activo
Pies Ligeros
Great for your ult and catform, means you can be everywhere on the map. Speed meta makes it a little mandatory, Veil Walker is also good here.


II
Imbuir
Compresión de Recarga
More uptime on your ult means more fights you can take.
Get as you want.


IV
Activo
Explosión Ártica
Really great item, great for catching people and for clearing waves in cat form. The combo with it is Arctic Blast, 2 immediately so the AB travels with you, light punch, 1, 4.


IV
Activo
Azote
Usually after Arctic Blast. Makes you really tanky and can do a lot of damage if you get into the middle of their team. You can rush earlier if you feel it would be good or have the money.


III
Tiempo de Recarga Superior
Cooldown reduction is really useful. Gives you way more uptime.
Pick and choose depending on what you need. Some can be built in lane/early.


III
Contrahechizo
Great against certain characters and abilities. Especially Lash.


II
Reductor de Desventajas
No longer works on parry stun. But still a great pick up most games.


III
Activo
Quitadesventajas
Must buy against Slowing Hex. Really great against a ton of characters, especially Vindicta, Infernus, and others who debuff you.


III
Resiliencia Espiritual
If you need anti-spirit. Very common buy although not absolutely necessary since we build many items that have spirit resist already.


III
Resiliencia Balística
For bullet resist. If it's really early (>10 mins), probably just go Battle Vest instead though.


III
Fortaleza
Common buy, although Veil Walker is usually better atm imo. The health is great for survivability, the move speed is great for rotating, and the heal lets you stay on the map longer.


II
Protección Espiritual
Great against spirit damage. You can get in some lanes.


II
Barrera Reactiva
Great item and good in many lanes. And late game has good spirit scaling, and ends up being like 500+ barrier.


II
Chaleco de Batalla
Good item at the moment, the bullet resist and regen is great in lane. Later though you should just get Bullet Resilience. Also good for farming denizens.


II
Maleficio Anticuración
Easy to proc anti-heal. The heal on kill is also really great during midgame fights.


I
Explosión Mística
Decent for poke in lane after your bombs do 80+ damage. IMO Tankbuster isn't a great upgrade though and you'd have to sell this for slots usually.


II
Supresor
Great at stopping gun carries. Super good in lane against gun characters. Easy to proc and can go on many people.


II
Activo
Hechizo Ralentizante
Good against Lash, Pocket, Mina, and other movement focused people. Often a must buy against a good Mina.


II
Activo
Savia Espiritual
Builds into Focus Lens, easy to use and great for 1v1s. Makes your burst way stronger.


III
Activo
Ola de Silencio
Good item. Silence is very good against many characters and it reduces their resist (tankiness) and spirit power (damage).


III
Activo
Sacrificio Sectario
Good item for your 4.8k Weapon Investment, but imo it's not that necessary on Calico. I think some people prefer Point Blank as a 4.8k weapon investment item for Calico as well.
Get depending on game state. If you don't know what to get, get upgrades then EE.


IV
Tiempo de Recarga Trascendente
Great item once you have 2 actives. It also makes Torment Pulse tick faster! Very good with Ethereal Shift.


II
Vulnerabilidad Mística
Upgrades into Escalating Exposure.


IV
Exposición Creciente
This with Scourge is insane. You run into the middle of the enemy team with Scourge and they take like 2-4k damage. Also has shred and gives you even more spirit resist so you're even tankier.


IV
Activo
Transformación Etérea
They doubled the CD on it so it's way worse, still might be good though on Calico. Helps you live much longer. Great with Transcendent CD. You can skip for more damage if you're not dying.


IV
Activo
Lente de Enfoque
Quite strong at the moment, shred is good.


IV
Espíritu Ilimitado
Gives you some much needed damage in the late game with your ult and gloom bombs. Great if you are trying to oneshot their carries.


IV
Gigante
Great against gun carries and is good to pick up if you have no free slots.


IV
Quemadura Espiritual
Anti-heal + more burst damage. If you need to burst carries this is really useful.


IV
Activo
Maldición
Strong item at the moment. Just really good for shutting one person down in a fight.
You can get some of these earlier as counter buys.


IV
Activo
Imparable
Really great in late teamfights. Especially good if you are really struggling against CC. Or for midboss.


IV
Rompehechizos
Incredible against Lash, Grey Talon, and any other spirit burst characters.


IV
Activo
Golpe Fantasmal
Amazing for shutting down fliers and gun carries. And for getting on top of the people you need to target in team fights.


IV
Coraza Reforzada
Great but usually only buy once you already have bullet resist. Great against Haze.


IV
Cota de Bruja
Very situational. Only get against lots of incremental spirit damage (McGinnis turrets, Infernus, Warden Ult) and have Spirit Resilience already.


IV
Activo
Coloso
Extra resists and health is great. Also works as an alternative upgrade for Extra Health.


III
Maestría en Aguante
fun item, good value, mmm mmmmovement. You could buy this in the mid game some time rather than getting resists perhaps.


III
Regeneración Radiante
Kind of fun, but not very good. Adds up to a decent amount of heal in longer fights since Torment Pulse and Scourge easily procs it.


III
Activo
Derribo
If no one else on your team is going to buy this and you really need to stop a Vindicta/GT or Seven ult.
Most of these suck!


IV
Activo
Alfombra Mágica
Fun and silly! Also good escape tool. Just worse to get than other 6ks though.


III
Imbuir
Subidón de Poder
It's nice on your bombs. You like all the things it gives you. But before you get Arctic Blast, the bombs are inconsistent to hit, and your bombs don't have that good spirit scaling.


III
Activo
Declive
I don't think this is really all that worth it compared to just getting Healbane. Since any person incredibly reliant on healing will just get Debuff Remover. But maybe get against Mo or Abrams.


III
Revientatanques
You can only proc this on bombs if you can time them with the Arctic Blast bonus damage. But I don't like it since it's just awkward and there's better items to get imo by that point in the game.


II
Ralentización Mística
Just feels really nice, makes it super easy to hit your ults second/end damage burst. Probably also nice against like Vyper.


IV
Burlar a la Muerte
If you are actually like the only player on your team doing anything and you have like 65k souls you could get this.


III
Coleccionista de Trofeos
DO NOT EVER BUILD THIS UNLESS YOU ARE 100% SURE YOU WILL GET LOTS OF STACKS. This is often a trap item, which puts you -3k souls down, without giving you anything much in return until later.


III
Activo
Piel de Metal
This since it got buffed is actually kinda really good against some characters, especially Haze and Drifter. I'd get this as an alternative to Bullet Resilience or Plated Armor.


II
Activo
Amuleto Reparador
Really nice for the stamina. Healing got a big nerf so is meh now. Decent to pick up for general survivability.


II
Activo
Fuego Devuelto
Decent item against certain gun carries.


II
Protección Balística
It's nice, but I just prefer to go Return Fire or Suppressor or rush Bullet Resilience early.


I
Regeneración Adicional
Worse than the other healing items imo. Plus if you're getting Lifestrike it's useless.


III
A Quemarropa
Possible option for hitting 4.8k weapon investment.
