I

Vol de vie mêlée

Very common buy. Great healing in lane from punching minions. And we can optionally upgrade this into Lifestrike for more sustain.

II

Traqueur

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

Bottes de course

Must buy for rotating around the map and ganking other lanes. Builds into Enduring Speed for our Vitality investment spike.

II

Trophée de chasse

I think might be really good at the moment. Roam a lot once you get it to build up those stacks.

I

Frappe spirituelle

We upgrade this to Spirit Snatch later. Adds to our burst.

II

Active

Souffle glacial

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

III

Onde de tourment

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. Gets us our 4.8k spirit investment.

II

Vitesse persistante

Great for move speed in fights and the slow resist. Helps with getting around the map as well. A lot of games I replace this with another 1.6k Vitality item though.

I

Tir rapproché

Worth going early now for Point Blank if you prefer that. Nice for melee resist as well.

I

Active

Rite de guérison

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

Réfutation

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.

I

Surplus de régénération

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

I

Active

Ténacité

Testing this! It's probably really nice for trades.

III

Frappe fortifiante

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. Slow is super good as well.

I

Surplus de PV

Hits your 4.8k. Build this into Fortitude or Colossus. You can skip if you go Dispel Magic instead of Fortitude.

III

Aura prédatrice

Great for 1v1s. Gets you your 4.8k weapon investment. Shadow Weave and Point Blank are also good options.

III

Razzia spirituelle

Spirit resist and power steal is amazing. Plus even more melee damage and it procs on your 2.

III

Fortitude

The health is great for survivability, the move speed is great for rotating, and the heal lets you stay on the map longer. I prefer this over VW cause it works in the tunnels. Or go Dispel Magic here.

II

Imbue [E]

Récupération comprimée

You can put this on your 2 or your 4, depends on what you want. 2 is better for snowballing, 4 is better for being able to fight more.

III

Récupération supérieure

Cooldown reduction is really useful. Gives you way more uptime.

IV

Active

Explosion arctique

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.

III

Active

Dissipateur de magie

Must buy against Slowing Hex. Really great against a ton of characters, especially Vindicta, Infernus, Bebop and others who debuff you. Also great for spirit resist now. You can buy much earlier.

IV

Récupération transcendante

Great item once you have 2 actives. It also makes Torment Pulse tick faster! Very good with Ethereal Shift in particular.

IV

Active

Fléau

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

Contresort

Great against certain characters and abilities. Especially Lash.

III

Résilience spirituelle

If you need anti-spirit. Very common buy although not absolutely necessary since we build many items that have spirit resist already. Really strong at the moment.

III

Résilience balistique

For bullet resist. If it's early, probably just go Battle Vest instead though. If it's late and you've got Transcendent Cooldown I would just go Metal Skin instead.

III

Active

Cuir blindé

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. Good with trans CD

III

Sentinelle du voile

Alternative to Fortitude. Nice for rotating around the map, ganking, escaping/survivability, and the heal is great. At the moment I don't like this too much since it doesn't work in the tunnels.

II

Emblème enchanteur

Great for more spirit resist early. Cooldown reduction is really rare so this is a great item since it gives you some.

II

Active

Médaillon de soin

10% spirit resist for 1.6k and the health and the stamina is really nice.

II

Bouclier spirituel

Great against spirit damage. You can get in some lanes.

II

Protection d'urgence

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

II

Châtiment curatif

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

III

Active

Onde de silence

Good item. Very common buy. Silence is very good against many characters and since it's an AoE it can hit many people in a teamfight.

II

Sabotage

Great at stopping gun carries. Easy to proc and can proc on many people.

II

Active

Malédiction de ralentissement

Good against Mina, and other movement focused people.

II

Active

Sape spirituelle

Builds into Focus Lens, easy to use and great for 1v1s. Makes your burst stronger.

III

À bout portant

Feels pretty good. It is now fixed for your 2! Difficult on slots though. Good for melee resist if you need that.

III

Active

Tissu d'ombres

I think the stats from this are really good. The invisibility is bugged with cat form I think though, so just be wary of that.

IV

Active

Refuge céleste

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

Active

Colosse

Melee damadge and tankiness. Pick between this and Ethereal Shift for your last active slot, or sell Dispel Magic.

IV

Tir veinard

Great for damage and ammo, repalces Stalker.

IV

Brise-tête

Best item in the game for damage as it shreds resists so your entire team will do more damage. And anti-heal is so good.

II

Vulnérabilité mystique

Upgrades into Escalating Exposure. Spirit shred is extremely useful.

IV

Exposition spirituelle

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

Implacable

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

IV

Profusion spirituelle

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

Brulure spirituelle

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

IV

Active

Lentille focale

It's fine, good with your burst and the silence is nice.

IV

Active

Intouchable

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

IV

Brise-magie

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

IV

Armure de plates

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

IV

Cuirasse ensorcelée

Kind of a meme item. Very situational. Only get against lots of incremental spirit damage (McGinnis turrets, Infernus, Warden Ult) and have Spirit Resilience already.

IV

Balles drainantes

Might be quite nice against tanks if you've gone into more gun late game.

IV

Indomptable

Probably bad compared to Unstoppable or Counterspell.

IV

Trompe-la-mort

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

III

Maitrise d'endurance

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

III

Active

Pierre de distorsion

Good for movement and the bullet resist is nice.

IV

Active

Relique maudite

If you really need to screw over someone in particular.

IV

Active

Tapis volant

Fun and silly! Also good escape tool. Just worse to get than other 6ks though. Meme item.

III

Régénération radieuse

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

Active

Coup d'enclume

If no one else on your team is going to buy this and you really need to stop a Vindicta/GT or Seven ult.

III

Active

Décomposition

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

Antichar

ONLY GET AFTER ARCTIC BLAST. Tankbuster tool tip lies and it actually procs with items such as Arctic Blast. Decent for more burst damage but I don't like it much.

II

Ralentissement mystique

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

II

Esprit amélioré

Decent. There are better items.

I

Choc mystique

Your bombs can't really proc this anymore. So you can only proc it with Cold Front/Arctic Blast and your ult.

IV

Active

Frappe spectrale

Good for shutting down fliers and gun carries. And for getting on top of the people you need to target in team fights.

II

Veste de combat

The bullet resist and regen is great in lane. Later though you should just get Bullet Resilience. Also good for farming denizens.

II

Active

Retour de balle

Decent item against certain gun carries.

II

Bouclier balistique

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

II

Atténuateur d'effets négatifs

Good if you need debuff reduction and are going to build Spellbreaker later (good if they have heavy spirit burst such as Grey Talon or Lash).

IV

Saturation spirituelle

If you're going more into gun later then this might be good.

III

Entaille spirituelle

Another option for your 4.8k weapon spike.

III

Active

Sacrifice rituel

Possible item for your 4.8k Weapon Investment, but imo it's not that necessary on Calico.

II

Active

Pied plume

Not as good since the speed stacking nerf. I still like it though. Good for movespeed in ult and catform. Combine with a 3.2k weapon item to get your 4.8k investment spike.

I

Balles antimonstres

Builds into cultist sac.
