II

Imprégner

Récupération comprimée

After the nerf on T2 Dome, this item has become even more necessary. Dome has the potential to completely change teamfights and you need it as frequently as possible.

I

Bonus de régénération

Prerequisite to Healing Booster, so don't feel bad buying this as early as you need.

I

Active

Rite de guérison

Buy every game, sooner or later. Can buy earlier in lane if especially low.

II

Vitesse persistante

Very strong item that allows for quick rotations; also allows for faster movement in a teamfight

II

Active

Pied plume

Really strong tempo buy on Kelvin can buy instead or in conjunction with Enduring Speed.

III

Active

Pierre de distorsion

Warp Stone -> dome is OP, especially in midboss or if you need to save an ally. Also provides insane survivability.

II

Emblème enchanteur

Provides stats that are all very valuable on Kelvin. Try to have this by the time you start roaming.

II

Amplisoins

Insanely strong item on Kelvin, buy this every game.

II

Active

Sentinelle gardienne

Can provide that extra bit of sustain that can save a teammate, & the move speed allows for escapes. Range is a very valuable stat on Kelvin as well.

III

Récupération supérieure

Kelvin's strength is largely based on his cooldowns. The extra 1600 to buy Sup CD isn't necessary to rush, but it gives nades more frequently and allows you to be more present on the map with your 2.

I

Imprégner

Expansion mystique

Allows for more consistent domes, valuable both when isolating fights with teammates, or in big teamfights.

II

Imprégner

Prolongation

Relatively self-explanatory, more duration both provides more regen (as dome is healing/sec) & allows for more time to kill in dome.

III

Recharge rapide

Will usually only buy if slot locked, or if the game becomes late enough. Would really try to avoid until max nade.

III

Expansion supérieure

Will really only buy this if slot locked or if it becomes late enough. Does provide significant value for items such as Alch Fire & Healing Nova

III

Prolongation supérieure

Buy only when slotlocked or when you have mutliple debuffs/buffs that scale with duration (i.e. Silence Wave, Divine Barrier, Healing Tempo)

IV

Récupération transcendante

Buy when locked for slots, or once you get to 2+ actives (especially Divine Barrier or Refresher)

IV

Tempo curatif

Situational item that can be very powerful when you have a very strong m1 carry or multiple m1 carries. Would recommend buying Superior Duration alongside it for the buff to last longer.

III

Active

Faisceau de détresse

Important buy if they have a lot of catch/pick. Allows for teammates to take risky plays if you are hovering them.

III

Active

Nova curative

Provides teamwide healing for cheap (like a mini dome). Will buy often in teamfight heavy comps.

III

Active

Aura héroïque

Insanely strong item to support your M1 carries or if the enemy team has significant gun damage. Also provides 2m/s sprint speed which is very valuable to roam.

III

Active

Pyroalchimie

Very strong for damage & shred. One of the best items in the game in the mid pit, try to tempo buy it if you are forcing midboss.

IV

Active

Protection divine

Must buy against Pocket (get this ASAP), & will often buy against Drifter for his ult. Also very strong against characters like Shiv & Infernus with DoTs & buildups.

IV

Active

Rembobineur

Refresher can be very strong, but the death timers need to be long enough where that second dome is worth more than having a 6k for the 300 seconds it would be on cooldown. Grows stronger the later.

II

Châtiment curatif

Fantastic item, necessary against characters with strong sustain/healing output (i.e. Victor (MUST BUY), Dynamo, Warden, Abrams, Mo, etc. check for lifesteal)

II

Sabotage

Can buy in lane if against 2 m1s, or buy later if they have a lot of m1 carries.

II

Vulnérabilité mystique

Buy late game if they have a lot of spirit resist. Consider Spirit Sap or Silence Wave instead if against a single target.

II

Balles perforantes

Very strong if you have multiple gun/melee characters.

III

Aura prédatrice

Really strong if isolating people in domes with your gun/melee characters (they will literally explode with -24% bullet resist). Underbought item

II

Active

Malédiction de ralentissement

Strong into any characters with movement abilities (over half of the roster), and even those without, as the dash distance reduction really hinders movement.

II

Active

Sape spirituelle

Generally buy this as a prerequisite to Silence Wave, but it does provide very strong value on its own if you or the enemy have strong spirit damage.

III

Active

Décomposition

Very strong damage & antiheal, can also be good for forcing debuff remover.

III

Active

Onde de silence

Has a lot of overlap with Slowing Hex, with its greatest value being against those who require Silence to survive (i.e. for movement abilities, or for Geist/Yamato for their ults)

III

Active

Malédiction désarmante

Provides strong shred for gun carries, but only buy if they have a strong m1 that can't be shut down (i.e. Gun Holliday, Ivy, Wraith)

III

Active

Coup d'enclume

Great against Seven, Lash, Vindicta, Ivy, Grey Talon, Mo & Krill (when stunned out of burrow, he just dies), Bebop, and Dynamo

IV

Active

Malédiction

Great against strong teamfight ults, any buffs (e.g. Viscous Cube), or to shut down carries.

III

Contresort

Great against Lash, Geist, Shiv, and comps that are strong in burst or CC.

III

Résilience spirituelle

Buy if they have strong sustained spirit damage (consider counterspell for burst characters).
