actually good geist build
Description
Building every item in order is fine but especially as you get more comfortable you should buy based on the game and personal preference. The build is made to be accessible to new players but is also very good at "high mmr".
Item Build
core 500s
geist's 500s are flexible but these are always great
500
Buy this asap, it just adds 35 damage to your bomb.

optional laning items
sell later

1750

1250
mid-lategame core
build cooldown items and get tanky
3500
You can build it even sooner as long as you have T2 Bomb, it will basically always proc it.
6200
Your best item.
4250
You take significant self damage so buying more spirit resist is important.
4250
Imbue on 1 (Bomb), also OK on 3 (Malice)
6200
4250
super lategame
sell mystic reach
6200
Imbue on 1 (Bomb) - Improved Burst proc feeds into the Reverb damage. 3 (Malice) also OK for more consistent slows
7450
More damage more spirit resist
This item got nerfed, but it's still great lategame as you can die and ult after for huge swings in teamfights
optional / lategame
sell your remaining 500s for these
1250
Good early vs. left clickers
4250
Probably her best non-core spirit item, just gives some utility to your bomb pool.
3000
Very good post-buffs. Also Ethereal Shift DOES NOT CANCEL LIFE DRAIN
1750
Buy vs. left clickers (Haze)
1250
Buy vs. healing.
1250
Decent to buy early vs. many debuffs.
4250
Must buy vs. Decay (and Pocket), and Silence
6200
Buy if you're getting focused by a ton of cc.
3000
Go fast. Put it on 3
3000
Buy vs. Seven or Vindicta (or anyone annoying enough)
3500
Good armor item if you have flex slots. Stamina, slow, damage, everything here is good.
3000
Warp was a core item before, but now I think Fleet is better, cheaper and comes online earlier. Still good for juking and ulting
3000
Alternative to return fire, usually better but more expensive
Generally you want to prioritize the optional items (on the left) over Reverb/EE. Green items are generally best because +%HP is the most valuable. This build also has a thread on Discord if you want to discuss it.
