Gives many useful stats. High firerate for faster Tesla proccing, dps, bullet lifesteal (Ivy starts with small lifesteal values) and movespeed. Alleviates ammo problem.

Deadlock Item

Pied plume

IVY NO LONGER HAS BUILT IN FLEETFOOT!!! Thus this item is now needed. Fleetfoot is overpowered anyway, as you gain survivability, and conditional movespeed thats amazing for chasing. Works well w ult!

Deadlock Item

I

Bottes de course

You can buy this earlier for box running. Otherwise, buy later.

Deadlock Item

II

Vitesse persistante

Essential for maintaining high m/s values when slowed, and adding a constant amount as well.

Deadlock Item

Chargeur titanesque

Insanely useful for the crazy amounts of ammo this gives you

Tough Lane?

Tir curatif

Recently Buffed. Amazing first item due to shop investment bonuses, and a flat 50 heal is insane for sustaining in lane.

Deadlock Item

I

Active

Rite de guérison

Best item to buy in a bad lane. Sprint speed that it gives makes it remain useful even after laning phase for roaming. Great for quickly recovering in lane. Do a box run while riting, dont miss wave.

Mid Game

Deadlock Item

Insanely powerful item right now. Sprint speed and movespeed values are INSANE for roaming and fights. Gives resistances for you and your team, and firerate for more damage.

Deadlock Item

Insane Shred potential. Allows you to win 1v1's against other gun characters, allows you to face yamato with ult (preferably with Hollow Point too), shreds viscous ball, and helps with camps.

Gun Path [CHOOSE ONE PATH !]

Left -> Right

Deadlock Item

III

Pointe creuse

Provides a good amount of damage, and great bullet resist shred, that lasts a long time after application, even when you go below the health threshold to proc it. Out of combat regen is nice too.

Deadlock Item

III

Rafale

Lots of raw firerate to boost up your dps numbers in bursts and quick engagements. Additional slide distance helps with farming bigger camps, and the movespeed helps for chasing people, or to run away

Deadlock Item

IV

Canon de verre

BUY NOW IF AHEAD, otherwise buy luckyshot/vamp burst. This item gives insane amounts of raw damage, and lets you get insane amounts of unconditional firerate by getting kills.

Deadlock Item

Great for winning gun fights, additional firerate for shredding people even faster, provides out of combat sustain, and the instant ammo gained combined with titanic magazine is HUGE.

HP / Sustain

Ivy still needs some more survivability. This item is amazing for healing while roaming the map, and is INSANE for jukes and getting away from the enemy. Great for HP Investment bonus too.

DEFENSIVE

Avoid if have trance/veil

Deadlock Item

III

Active

Dissipateur d'effets négatifs

Lots of debuffs on the enemy team? This item is generally great against all characters. Mo ult, Infernus burn, Stuns, literally almost everything. Grab this if you are struggling with debuffs.

Deadlock Item

Résilience spirituelle

Very good survival item. Lets you live a lot longer after being bursted down by several spirit heroes. Works great if you have lots of sustain items (Like vampiric burst, or siphon bullets)

Deadlock Item

Lots of raw gun damage hurting and killing you? this item gives a lot of different good stats, and will let you generally take less damage from gun.

ultra late DEFENSIVE

Deadlock Item

IV

Active

Intouchable

Too many stuns? Great if you are being picked off in fights exclusively due to stuns and cc. Buy at 30k+ souls preferably.

Deadlock Item

IV

Implacable

Great stats. Alright against melee heavy comps, and amazing if enemy team has several gun carry heroes like wraith and vyper. No need for suppressor if you have this.

Deadlock Item

IV

Brise-magie

Base stats are useful. Particularily useful against heavy single-burst heroes, like grey talon arrow, lash stomp, yamato slash. Preferably buy this in a case where you could use the debuff resist too.

Deadlock Item

IV

Armure de plates

Insanely good against gun heroes, and ones that apply on hits, such as infernus, haze, and mina.

Counters [Early - Late]

RARELY buy these, 1 MAX

Deadlock Item

II

Sabotage

BUY ONLY IF YOU HAVE TESLA - This item has INSANE value to counter gun characters. Amazing against Infernus/Mirage/Haze/Vindicta/Wraith, etc. The earlier you buy, the more impactful it is.

Deadlock Item

III

Active

Malédiction désarmante

Amazing if there is a single gun carry running down your team. (Like a vyper or wraith)

Deadlock Item

Better silence wave/disarming hex for Ultra Late Game.

Green Path [CHOOSE ONE PATH !]

Left -> Right

Deadlock Item

IV

Balles drainantes

Siphon is back! Because ivy dps got cut significantly. Insane value when doing long fights. Procs healing tempo, which gives you 100% uptime during fights, and allows other synergies.

Deadlock Item

III

Furie

At this point of the build you are super tanky, but have no damage. This item solves that issue, without sacraficing all your built up health with glass cannon.

Deadlock Item

IV

Tempo curatif

Can be procced by siphon bullets. Give you lots of useful firerate, and movespeed that Ivy LOVES! Works with veilwalker pretty well too for when you are out of combat and want the tempo movespeed.

EXPERIMENTAL - Testing

@Highdocker discord for questions

What if im out of slots?

In the event that you are low on slots, sell your lane sustain items FIRST [Healing Rite, Restorative shot]. If you notice your team is struggling to take objectives, avoid building items like veilwalker or fury trance as they will prevent you from buying core items. Otherwise, you can purchase those health items. Typically in the 25-35k soul count, rough games may leave you with very little slots still. At this point, sell tesla bullets, as your raw gun damage will far surpass what tesla can output. If you are going to buy defensive items, or counters, you have to aknowledge that you wont be able to buy certain core items.
