II

Emblema del Hechicero

Overstatted item. Spirit resist, spirit power, regen, cooldown reduction? Good early priority in most lanes.

I

Espíritu Adicional

FYI: Vyper's movement speed scales with spirit power.

II

Cartuchos Irruptores

I like this in losing lanes or vs close quarters heroes; your goal in lane is to keep your enemies at or below half health so Venom is scary, this helps with that. Also good for farming.

II

Disparo Místico

More spirit burst, on your already-good gun. The more-reliable option. Good in winning lanes or against long-ranged characters who you can poke with this.

I

Explosión Mística

You need to hit two daggers to trigger this now, or trigger it on a decent Venom pop, but it still helps a lot in lane with your poke.

II

Espíritu Mejorado

It's more spirit power. What else should I write here?

III

Revientatanques

The news of its demise was greatly exaggerated. Still hugely helpful with big venom pops (or bolas), even if it's hard to trigger on dagger now. In losing or farm-heavy lanes, get after Tesla.

III

Balas de Tesla

Big farm accelerator and buying it now makes Vyper's gun significantly better earlier to make up for the damage we lost on dagger. You're gonna be shooting more early, and this helps.

I

Botas de Esprintar

Nice to have, especially if you're going on box and sinners runs, and the regen is a nice bonus too. Can otherwise wait for Enduring.

II

Velocidad Persistente

Movespeed good on slippery snake lady, and god do I hate slows. Get early in e.g. a Kelvin lane (may the devil curse his name).

I

Regeneración Adicional

Consistent, good, reliable, friend. I get it most games.

I

Vida Adicional

Get if you're planning on going into Fortitude. Not worth if you're veil walker-ing.

I

Disparo Reparador

Good in most lanes, although can be inconsistent if you're dealing with double long-range poke heroes. The greediest option here; gives gun instead of health investment.

I

Refutación

Vs Viscous or otherwise very punchhappy laners.

I

Activo

Rito Curativo

If you have 800 souls and your options are buying healing rite or backing to heal, buy healing rite. Having to leave lane is punishing in this game.

II

Barrera Reactiva

Good against Lash, Haze, etc. in lane. Not great past early-mid game in my opinion - in most cases Debuff Remover is more useful (or straight up Spirit Resilience, or Spellbreaker).

II

Supresor

Pretty solid if you need to shut down a gun carry early into the game, but late game I'd rather have Juggernaut.

III

Fortaleza

Ding dong, the wicked witch is dead, and in its place is an old, reliable friend.

III

Caminante del Velo

Good god, they nerfed it. Still here for now, but I think Fortitude is just better now (yay!)

IV

Espíritu Ilimitado

High priority, even if you're itching for more gun-oriented items. Movespeed, scaling for tesla bullets and merc magnum (not to mention your abilities), and did I mention the movement speed?

III

Fuego a Discreción

Gaben personally designed this item for Vyper. My dad works at Valve and he told me that. Makes your slides 200% more silly and slippery. Priority pickup for me most games.

II

Imbue [E]

Recarga Repentina

Not particularly important by itself, but we want it as a component of Merc Magnum, and it's nice for a quick reload.

IV

Imbue [E]

Magnum Mercurial

Crazy, crazy good item. High priority after Boundless. Basically doubles your gun damage AND gives fire rate. Make sure it's always active when you're shooting.

II

Maleficio Anticuración

If they have anybody with substantial regen who's a problem, this is worth getting, and you have an easy time proccing it now. Otherwise skippable.

III

Desgarro Espiritual

Worth after Merc Magnum and Tesla - I wouldn't buy it before then. You can apply it to petrified enemies - Bola, then shoot them in the head.

IV

Activo

Condensador

Low priority upgrade, but not a bad item and the active is underrated. Good if you're slot limited.

IV

Rebote

It's VERY fun, and can shred teamfights if you happen to catch them all clumped up (and not die in the process). Only pick up in very late game.

IV

Frenesí

More gun investment, and more movement speed. The MS (and spirit resist) when below 50% can save your skin. Get if you're facing a heavy spirit lineup in the very late game.

IV

Cañón de Cristal

It is a LOT of gun damage. The minus max health is tough, but if it falls on your shoulders to be the gun carry in hyper late game, here it is. Goes nicely with the resist shred on Dagger.

IV

Disparo Paralizante a la Cabeza

Late game healbane replacement if you need healing reduction and have no other slots, and the resist shreds are really nice.

IV

Sanguijuela

Big healing. I prefer it over Vampiric Burst since a big chunk of our damage is spirit.

III

Resiliencia Espiritual

More and more necessary in today's goofy spirit meta. Get if purple characters are terrorizing you.

III

Resiliencia Creciente

Honestly, this is just a better bullet resilience for Vyper. Get if orange characters are terrorizing you.

IV

Gigante

Shuts down gun carries and upgrades Enduring Speed. Good slot-efficient (albeit expensive) item. I prefer this (+ Escalating) for dealing with heavy gun lineups late game.

III

Balas Lastradas

This is here for the spirit and debuff resistance. A greedier but still good resistance item.

III

Contrahechizo

I do not consent to the Bebop bomb.

III

Activo

Quitadesventajas

For your friend who came into this game from League of Legends and is now raging about how many stuns there are in this game. Or you, I guess.

III

Activo

Piedra de Teletransporte

The added movement is nice but not essential most games. Can help escape and chase, and bullet res after blinking is huge. Can be good vs slippery gun carries (Haze, Infern, etc).

IV

Activo

Imparable

For that MnK that just loves you so much. Deadlock's BKB, for you Dota knowers. Although far less ubitiquous or generally necessary than BKB...

IV

Rompehechizos

Pretty good into obnoxious spirit burst (e.g. Lash, GT), but only in that situation - otherwise Spirit Res is more consistent and cheaper.

III

Activo

Trance de Furia

Big fire rate and spirit resist - the silence is whatever, but no stamina use feels bad. Remember that you can still slide from a run with enough MS (which you have in this build).

II

Activo

Hechizo Ralentizante

Shuts down heroes with slippery movement abilities in the early / mid game; Calico (it turns off everything but her 1!), Mina, Wraith, Pocket, etc.

III

Activo

Derribo

Often a necessity against dominant fliers. If they buy debuff remover, ask somebody on your team to buy it too and apply it after the first is removed; Vindicta, GT, Lash, Bebop ult, etc.

III

Activo

Ola de Silencio

AoE silence is incredibly useful to turn fights, and the minus spirit res is really nice too. Easy to apply after a group bola; good vs pretty much everybody.

IV

Activo

Maldición

I HATE this guy and want them to SUFFER. Comboing this after Bola can remove an enemy from fighting for an obscene amount of time. If the enemy is being carried by one person, get and spam on them.

IV

Activo

Golpe Fantasmal

Can be game winning vs a dominant gun carry. Get on top of them, right into melting range, and disarm them too. Often overkill, but helps if REALLY struggling to stay on them. Blink wisely.

IV

Activo

Barrera Divina

I very occasionally buy this if I've had an extremely rough game and am accepting the fact that I'm more useful supporting than dealing damage. It happens, and it's a great item for your team.

III

Activo

Rayo de Rescate

Same as Divine Barrier - if you're so far behind that your damage doesn't really exist, better to itemize into helping the people on your team who do deal damage.

IV

Desbordamiento Espiritual

I have re-re-changed my opinion on this item and think it isn't quite good enough to be core still - the buildup takes too long for a mediocre result.

III

Activo

Fuego Alquímico

Spirit power, gun investment and a good active. Throw it on the ground right after Bola to let it ramp up before they awake. Not priority, but if you do pick it up, pick it up early.

II

Activo

Pies Ligeros

The extra slide distance is nice, and if you're slidemaxxing, well here you go.

II

Impulso Cinético

If you dash jump a lot and need an economy gun upgrade, sure. Good item but not incredible.

II

Cargador Progresivo

See Split Shot. I don't like this item early as it rewards drawn out engagements (which Vyper is weak at), and late game there's just higher value options.

II

Activo

Disparo Dividido

It's really good on gun Vyper, and not bad on hybrid either, but it's not priority for me. It can help make Vyper's spray more consistent in chaotic fights, and great with e.g. Billy ult.

III

Tiempo de Recarga Superior

Feels a bit overkill, cooldowns aren't really a problem outside of bola, but another reasonable upgrade path w/ Transcendent.

IV

Tiempo de Recarga Trascendente

Only if you have a bunch of actives.

III

Imbue [E]

Subidón de Poder

It's solid, but Merc Magnum and Boundless are just higher priority and if we fill up all the slots with purple there's no room for the orange and green, yknow?

I

Imbue [E]

Expansión Mística

If they're running away too fast before you get the girl juice on them.

III

Expansión Superior

A bit overkill, but if you're out of things to upgrade and have Mystic Expansion. Does make your bolas bigger, that's fun.

III

Balas Tóxicas

In theory a tank shredder, but I've always found this item to be a bit underwhelming. Would rather have Tesla Bullets + Healbane, unless you're going against Victor + MnK + Abrams + Billy + Shiv.

IV

Chiripa

I'd rather have Glass Cannon, but this is a lower risk, lower reward option.

IV

Activo

Tejido de Sombras

For a funny assassin-ish build. More map mobility, and the ambush bonuses are quite good.

IV

Silenciador

Your gun shoots real fast, this can be decent, but again nothing special. Maybe if they're ALL spirit - outgoing damage reduction is quite nice.

IV

Lanzahechizos

Effect is pretty weak for a tier 4 in my humble opinion, but 60% fire rate and a bit of CD reduction is far from nothing. If you need the reload speed, you're doing something wrong.

II

Destructor de Resistencia a Balas

Better now with the Dagger changes making it easier to proc, and stacks nicely with t2 dagger. Underrated, but a bit of a detour imo. Crippling Headshot is more worthwhile.

III

Recarga Rápida

I REALLY wouldn't get this with the current state of Screwjab Dagger - I don't think the price is worth what you get. Still, if you're desperate for the true dagger-slinging experience, here ya go.

IV

Inhibidor

Maaaybe with Ricochet. The outgoing damage reduction is huge, and the healing reduction makes it a decent Healbane replacement in late game, but it's hard to apply consistently.
