Item Build
Early
establish strong lane phase
500
500
stronger splatter, we hold this item until pressured by flex slots
500
big damage for puddle and melees in early lane -- we sell this when getting ball items. IF I AM WINNING HARD I BUY POWERSPIKE ITEMS
500
makes pushing lanes and taking towers effortless. faster farming jungle as well. multiple bugs making this item better than it says
500
NEVER SELL, WE BUY AND EVENTUALLY GET IMP REACH FOR BIG BALL
500
Optional. good for rotating lanes early. First purple item we sell to acquire torment pulse / arcane surge.
power spike - can buy early
1250
massive power spike in lane. I often get this right after melee lifesteal and mystic burst if i am winning lane, and just keep hard pressuring
1250
gives a lot of splatter and mystic shot damage. + cdr. + helps protect against burst
1250
very Strong early, later upgrade to arcane surge for big ball
1250
I love this item but technically optional. Makes farming with melee very fast, can oneshot full HP minions when u have these 4 yellows and monster rounds.
Big upgrades - mandatory
4250
Dash jump -> BALL. BIG BALL.
3000
BUY WHEN YOU MAX BALL
not required
Optional mobility
500
i don't bother with stamina. arcane surge gives a stamina now. I save my money and rush my torment pulse, or grab divine barrier for greens which also makes ball bigger
3500
1250
FOR HMC enjoyers. we have melee charge.
1750
ball shit
sell extra charge first, spirit strike second in favor of these
3000

I BUY MAGIC CARPET BEFORE MYSTIC REVERB. This is here because it is the IMBUE BALL row of items. This is a great 3rd flex slot item.
6200
IDEAL SECOND FLEX SLOT ITEM.

6200
This is last not because it is super late game, but because it is a lower priority active than magic carpet or diviner's kevlar etc. It is competing fo not a flex slot but a GREEN slot and an ACTIVE slot. Its very good, but late game.
Defense / utility choices

ALSO GIVES ABILITY RANGE. BIGGER BALL
3000
BIGGER BALL FROM ABILITY RANGE. + SUPPORT.

SUPER LATE GAME, extra money era
3500
I do buy this as second flex slot if i need power immediately, otherwise i save for magic carpet for second flex. these items are less priority than getting say magic carpet, diviners, mystic reverb.
