I

Bonus de régénération

Regen to help you + builds into heal booster later

I

Drain de mêlée

You can start engaging on people in lane when you have this as you can heal back more of the damage you'd take from charging someone

II

Charge brute

Huge damage incoming with this item + builds into crushing fists. Try to time purchasing this with when you get 2 points into charge.

II

Traitre

Started using it because lystic mentioned it, and it's actually pretty good on melee, ambush people a lot easier + bullet res removal + free poke lane. SELL LATE GAME FOR SLOTS

I

Tir rapproché

Good damage increase for 800 on your melees and builds into PB later. Can buy earlier if melee enemies in lane

I

Bonus d'endurance

Mostly to negate weighted shots' -10% stamina regen later on but also extra movement, can go KDash or mastery later on

I

Frappe spirituelle

Makes your siphon do more damage. Skippable, only really useful w/ high spirit dmg lane partner

I

Active

Rite de guérison

1 hp in lane, rescue beam rush nowhere near as good as it was before

II

Balles ouvrantes

If you don't like backstabber being here this is a solid item to replace it with, does good damage. I use the two interchangably.

II

Active

Médaillon de soin

Sometimes a good buy, especially for ability spam in lane, very good healing

I

Réfutation

Viscous or melee bots in your lane

I

Balles antimonstres

Clearing waves if you need to clear them fast and go do boxes bc there is no hope of winning ur lane

II

Élan cinétique

Decent choice if you don't want mastery later on, upgrades and helps out gun damage between melees + free reload

II

Active

Souffle glacial

Damage + slow, not entirely needed in this build but another alternative to backstabber

II

Active

Malédiction de ralentissement

Stops people with movement abilities from using them to get out of your melee range/shuts down certain characters e.g calico, shiv, sinclair etc

III

Frappe fortifiante

Beefy healing to help you survive alongside siphon life

III

Razzia spirituelle

Buffs up your melee damage slightly + siphon life to make you heal even more. You can buy mid game items before this if you want

IV

Poings écrasants

Biggest damage upgrade, you can start stunning people with 3 consecutive heavy melees. Start heavy meleeing around the map too as it's faster than walking. Can buy mid game items before this too

III

À bout portant

Huge damage + upgrade, you can buy early if your team is struggling to get slots for you to buy other items, otherwise you could get later.

III

Tirs lestés

Debuff resist, stamina recovery is offset by extra stamina from earlier + good damage/spirit resist

III

Active

Dissipateur d'effets négatifs

Core active for you to have, cleanses a lot of antiheal getting applied to you or quite a number of negative effects while giving a free heal. DOES NOT CLEANSE ULTIMATE DEBUFFS

III

Furie

bullet res stat + good damage output

II

Amplisoins

Buffs up all healing from siphon + lifestrike, skippable if you don't want it however

IV

Active

Bullet procs (infernus/mirage/haze etc) + if people start buying armor piercing rounds

III

Récupération supérieure

Faster buttons on all of your abilities, makes charge 11 seconds per one

IV

Active

Frappe spectrale

Take against a comp with a lot of fliers if necessary, 10x better than buying knockdown on Abrams

III

Aura prédatrice

If you are taking a lot of isolated 1v1s this is literally free damage and makes you even tougher to take on alone. Aside from that, it's an ok debuff in teamfights, wouldn't prioritise it though.

II

Active

Pied plume

If you are struggling to bait out other people's parries, you can try using this item. While you're moving in heavy melee, press the active and it will cancel the melee.

III

Résilience spirituelle

Heavy spirit damage on enemy team

III

Active

Faisceau de détresse

Although rushing this in lane on Abrams may not be worth it anymore, this is still a fantastic item you can occassionally build to save people from being picked + heal yourself

II

Châtiment curatif

If you need just some antiheal

IV

Active

Intouchable

If the enemy team start buying curses or there's just lots of CC in general preventing you from playing the game, pick this up. IT MEANS YOU DON'T GET STUNNED ON PARRY AND CAN JUST HOLD DOWN MELEE

III

Active

Pierre de distorsion

Blink to dodge certain abilties like paradox/bebop

III

Active

Sacrifice rituel

This isn't terrible if you are able to be greedy with this and farm. Can sell once you've made profit on it. Purchase at the 8 minute mark if you want the best value from this and eat tier 3 camps

III

Contresort

I don't like this item personally and never buy it but I know some people do so I left it here

III

Fortitude

Due to the weapon damage removal I don't think it's worth taking this, but if you find yourself low and needing to re engage a lot you could pick it up I guess?

IV

Récupération transcendante

Luxury purchase if you have nothing else to buy, includes item cooldowns now

IV

Tempo curatif

Luxury upgrade, do not prioritise unless you've bought everything else or you simply have no slots available.
