3/22/2026 - Updated a dozen annotations and removed/added optional items after testing them more.
Item Build
Laning
Generally Left -> Right | Tesla is big powerspike. Can buy Sprint Boots/Extra Health/Monster rounds early.
Good because it helps alleviate Ivy's poor magazine size problem. Gives more long term damage output for wave at the start, which means its a good alternative/supplement to Monster Rounds.
Greatly increases your magazine, allowing effortless waveclear, and lets you trade (Not often) sometimes with the enemy in lane with your raw gun. This will make your Tesla Bullets buy WAY better.
Gun Ivy's BEST early/mid game item. Procs easily with ivy's high ROF, grants amazing jungle/camp clear, and allows easy proccage of debuffs. It is INSANE.
Survival/Sustain
Don't Be afraid of buying Rite!
INSANE item to buy if you want to postpone your 4.8k HP investment spike, to buy more items for farming and powerspikes, without being super squishy and burstable.
Lane Extras
Pressure/Damage
#Citadel_HeroBuilds_MidGame
Order may vary. Capacitor rush earlier can be very good with Swift.
This item is better the earlier you buy it, B/C Capacitor requires FAR LESS ROF to consistently proc than Tesla Bullets. Its active is a great substitute for ivy losing knockup on ultimate.
Best § 1600 item for raw unconditional firerate, while giving bonus sprint speed that very useful in the early game. Helps immensely with giving the exact fire rate you need for capacitor w T3 Tether.
Mid Survival
Extremely Situational, Buy only for very problematic characters.
Insane counter to Infernus/Mirage on-hit buildups, and generally great for any enemy that is causing a debuff that is causing you to lose or die constantly.
Insanely Overpowered, but situational. Hard counters Haze/Vyper/Gun Warden, Gun Drifter, and ANY character that has ~X > 75% damage done by pure weapon damage bullets.
Mid Extras
Damage/Antiheal
#Citadel_HeroBuilds_LateGame
Try to buy many optionals and a §6.4k debuff. Can buy Colossus later at around §40k+ souls.
Item is VERY good right now with its base weapon damage being better early, and valve constantly nerfing all movement, meaning this item is great for making enemes EVEN slower.
When bought at around 20-25k souls, this item will actually feel effective due to characters starting to be at the 2500-3000HP range. Optimally, you want enemies to be at 3k+HP for this item to SHINE.
Debuffs
Huge debuffs. Read Descs, based on enemy comp.
VERY good debuff that counts as antiheal and a massive damage reduction. Easy to buildup with your current firerate, and when bought, gives ~350 HP and +25% wpn damage in raw stats (Very Good)
Late Extras
Damage/Survive
Late Survival
These are great buys at around §40k+ souls. Good for finishing HP Investment
Gives all the late game stats you are lacking, and want more of. Provides a layer of protection against spirit nukers, and gives slightly more resistance to what you already have, with debuff resist.
Great when the team is only managing to kill you through CC/Stuns, or curses and countless debuffs of similar sort. Also gives survivability with massive debuff resistance and some HP.
Normally, you treat this as a luxury purchase, but if you are actually losing to heavy slows (Such as a Spirit MCGinnis Ult Build) or other sources of heavy slows, and/or chars with firerate, its good
Optional Spirit Items
These are often not bought in every game. Do not buy more than ONE of these items.
If you decide to not buy Superior Duration all at once (not reccomended), it can give your ult silence more impact by lasting longer, as you save to purchase superior duration.
TESTING THESE ITEMS | CAN BE GOOD | READ DESCRIPTIONS
These items still can be great. Read their individual descripitions to see if they fit. Message @Highdocker on discord in dms if you have questions.
Can act as a replacement for Slowing Bullets. For slot effeciency, if you are going to do this, I reccomend not buying Bullet Resist Shredder to stay in line with slots and 4.8k Spike Optimizations.
Theoretically amazing with siphon, but more often situational than a core item, and beserker is likely a better alternative with siphon. Could be preferable if team constantly debuffs you even wDispel
Generally you will already have enough firerate to proc debuffs on multiple people without this item, and are better off spending the money on more debuffs. Great at § 50k+ Souls however.
Spellslinger has been indirectly HEAVILY nerfed from the gun ivy playstyle. Fleetfoot is significantly worse on her, and you cant pop tether anymore. This removes two sources of proccing spellslinger.
Patch Overview (As of Early March)
The latest major balance patch (probably the biggest balance patch deadlock has ever seen) has finally done something that no patch has ever done before. After countless patches of nonstop nerfs, this patch has buffed EVERY single character in the game, as well and items. The main winners remain to be spirit characters at the moment, with most gun character becoming irrelevant (including raw gunivy being deleted from relevance). Though Ivy has lost about 60% of her original damage scaling since shop rework, the insanely short ult cooldown (despite the knockup removal) and the perma tether helps with a tempo-oriented Ivy playstyle. Super minor movement speed cap buffs and health changes also support a movement speed playstyle once more, and is a indirect buff to siphon (Alongside the major siphon rework/buff in the major balance patch). This can give a on-hit/debuffer Ivy playstyle significant relevance in the game.
Laning Stage - Overview
Your laning phase should revolve around this core principle: Your Lane trading and Damage output is low. Your Lane waveclear is very good. You should play around this fact. Do not use kudzus for poke damage, and instead use them to prioritize and clear the wave (Or get T1 camps to prevent the enemy from invading with the downtime that they have). Almost always, you lane partner will have far more poke and damage output ready, and will likely have weaker waveclear than you. Play around your lane partners strengths, where you focus the wave, and your lane partner deals damage. By playing around your strengths in lane, you will have a far better lane experience. You will not have significant lane pressure/damage output until you get your tesla bullets with 4.8k gun investment powerspike. You can also get HSB to apply more lane pressure. Don't forget to get boxes and t1 camps throughout waves, BUT ALWAYS BE SURE TO BE ON THE SAME PAGE AS YOUR LANER! You either both apply pressure, or both get boxes. Doing seperate actions is not good.
Mid Game - Overview
Your ult is not as impactful as last patch with this build, but you have it almost twice as often. This means the previous rule (ABAD - ALWAYS BE AIRDROPPING) applies even more, where its hard to waste an airdrop ultimate when its on such a low cooldown. You will be however postponing the silence until later now with the new AP order. Always be watching nearby lanes after laning phase has been ended to take advantageous rotations to help with ganks. In the meantime, you have tesla and other items/abilities that help you farm rapidly to reach your other powerspikes. Your capacitor powerspike is a great damage powerspike (provides consistency in proccage) and your siphon bullets powerspike enables you to be very tanky. Dont be afraid to buy items like slowing bullets or swift striker only on to help with engagements and provide more to your tempo. Look to deny and secure a lot of farm throughout the map, where other characters otherwise are not as proficient at doing so. Siphon also makes you much better at contesting farm where fights might break out.
Late Game - Overview
After siphon bullets, you generally are online, and want to play a somewhat slippery/mobile/annoying playstyle where it is hard for enemies to catch you, and playing around that fact. Also, After siphon, you need to keep a close look on what your team needs in terms of debuffs, or what you need in terms of survivability to remain relevant. Inhibitor gives a great survivability bonus with a big spike in health, and massive damage reduction. If you feel tanky enough, silencer is a great alternative. Typically, one of these two items will be bought after siphon. Once you have one of these items, you are likely looking to purchase one or two 6.4k Greens from the "Late Survival" Category, so that you remain survivable within late game fights where people often get instantly bursted down. Once you get all these items, the game will begin to come to an end, and use your powerful mid contest to your advantage, and stay with your team when you are at the time where the last battle determines who pushes the base and drops the patron/ends the game.
Build Notes
The order of all the items in this build all are super important. Generally, The core build path is 100% the way to go, Left -> Right, with an exception to the spirit items. I reccomend either building BRS + SoP for better early game, or BRS + Sup Duration if you are confident that the game will last long and duration will have more value in the late game. After you buy all the core items, you need to HEAVILY think about itemization based on what the strengths the enemy has, and what weaknesses you can abuse. All annotations are in depth for every late game optional item to help you towards the direction of proper itemization. Additionally, Almost every optional category is organized to where the leftmost items are generally going to mean they are used far more often than the rightmost, with the categories labeled "Laning/Mid/Late Extras" being and exception to this rule. The testing items section also ignores this rule.
