Description

11/22 update: HUGE change to Sinclair's playstyle since the patch. Split pushing is now dead and active play is in. Max whatever ability you feel is best at 29k souls all 3 are viable options now. b

Feel free to ask me any questions on the Sinclair discord @RAIGEKI

Item Build

#Citadel_HeroBuilds_EarlyGame

4.8k spirit rush is a huge spike, buy rite if you need it to stay in lane otherwise only trade when you can rusted barrel + bolt someone to remove all their firerate. When we hit 7.7k souls we still one shot anyone so we time trophy with that spike.

Deadlock Item

I

Active

Canon rouillé

Broken item for removing laning interaction and stays strong now that cultist doesn't give firerate. Upgrade to disarming hex if its a good game for it otherwise sell this for the slot later.

Deadlock Item

I

Charge bonus

Try to sync dropping assistant with 2 bolt charges until you have t2 bolt.

Deadlock Item

I

Esprit bonus

Early spirit good

Deadlock Item

III

Recharge rapide

We get this earlier now because the 4.8k spirit spike is so crazy. At this point you will have 280 damage bolts and should be able to force the tower / force them out of lane.

Deadlock Item

III

Trophée de chasse

Goated item now that early active play doesn't grief your teams souls. Time this buy with T3 bolt power spike and play active.

Deadlock Item

II

Emblème enchanteur

early spirit good and gets us 4.8k green

Deadlock Item

I

Imprégner

Expansion mystique

Needed to kill neutral camps with bolt, we can't take T3s as easily this patch as we could before but once you have T3 bolt + T2 assistant you can take them.

Core Wizard Tools

Usually in this order, focus lens is an insane item now and best enables you to run around collecting trophy stacks.

Deadlock Item

II

Esprit amélioré

Spirit good + investment breakpoint

Deadlock Item

II

Active

Sape spirituelle

Builds into focus lens now. Big damage increase.

Deadlock Item

IV

Active

Lentille focale

Really sick item now that it builds from sap and shreds spirit. This item forces them to itemize against it or they will lose guaranteed.

Deadlock Item

III

Expansion supérieure

Amazing for bolt / rabbit / actives and almost every ult you steal.

Deadlock Item

IV

Profusion spirituelle

Giga damage increase to everything and a lot of movespeed. You do not need more damage after this.

Items I don't buy but you can if you like gun.

Deadlock Item

Active

Sacrifice rituel

Either this or alch fire is the best 3.2k imo, if you get this item I would max assistant at 29k.

Deadlock Item

II

Active

Pied plume

We move extremely fast so slow resist is really strong.

Split pushing is much worse in this new patch with the walker buffs. The soul split changes alongside the new 4.8k investment breakpoints make active early play better than ever and is how Sinclair should be played in my opinion.

Endgame Choices

Read annotations and buy off vibes

Deadlock Item

III

Prolongation supérieure

Insanely good item at this point in the game. Stolen ults / rabbit / focus lens all benefit big from this.

Deadlock Item

III

Récupération supérieure

Nerfed to the point that i don't like buying this until later in the game but if it goes this late you definitely want it.

Deadlock Item

IV

Récupération transcendante

Don't like buying this unless full actives.

Deadlock Item

IV

Imprégner

Active

Éclat d'écho

Always broken with max rabbit.

Deadlock Item

IV

Active

Fléau

Can throw on your beefiest gorilla against spirit heavy lineups. With greater expansion and sup duration this item is crazy. Can also pop this on yourself while channeling carpet.

Deadlock Item

IV

Active

Tapis volant

Still my favorite item on this hero but focus lens is too good right now to not rush instead.

Deadlock Item

IV

Active

Protection divine

Good if getting owned by pocket / drifter / ivy ult

Deadlock Item

III

Active

Pyroalchimie

High damage and a huge amount of bullet shred at this point in the game with how much spirit we buy.

Situational items that sometimes come up.

Deadlock Item

I

Active

Rite de guérison

best lane sustain option if you need it. New heal creeps are so OP though you can generally get away without this.

Deadlock Item

I

Réfutation

For the cavemen

Deadlock Item

II

Protection d'urgence

Even though it got a huge CD nerf this item is still really good for spirit scaling heroes like us. Against bebop / haze / paradox / abrams you should almost always buy this.

Deadlock Item

III

Active

Dissipateur d'effets négatifs

Very important item in current meta due to the prevalence of focus lens, if they are buying it you have to buy this.

Deadlock Item

III

Active

Pierre de distorsion

cheap alternative to carpet and also amazing to enable certain ultimates (dynamo, lash, infernus)

Deadlock Item

III

Sentinelle du voile

Still a really good item. Can replace trophy with this if you don't think its a good game for trophy.

Deadlock Item

III

Active

Cuir blindé

Best anti gun hero item on this hero and often necessary to use seven and warden ults properly. Now that capacitor is nerfed this and disarming hex are by far our best anti gun tools.

Deadlock Item

II

Active

Malédiction de ralentissement

Needed to kill some elusive heroes. Never upgrade to Vortex.

Deadlock Item

III

Active

Décomposition

Good vs tanky lineups

Deadlock Item

III

Active

Malédiction désarmante

Absurdly strong vs gun heavy lineups. Low cd and benefits from the duration we buy.
