When Haze fixates on a target she can hold her own in a firefight. She prefers to create one sided exchanges, avoiding damage then picking off unsuspecting targets up close.

Description
UPDATED 1/16! – (Chrome’s) Rapid Haze is a gun-centric, gank focused roamer build that exceeds in lockdown kill potential. We rapidly – haha – scale our offensive, defensive, and technical skills with special care, creating an effective mixture of high damage, strong sustain, and helpful tools. Visit the full written guide in Deadlock’s official Discord server for further details and to ask any questions :)
Item Build

Sell for late game tech.
500
Sell for Spirit Armor.
500
It's best to sell Ammo Scavenger or Headshot Booster before this when choked on slots.
500
If laning against a hero with large, telegraphed damage such as Geist Bomb, Viscous Splatter, or Warden Cage, buy this 3rd.

500
If you’re suffering from large chunks of damage or need to quickly regen in-lane after a tough 1v1, pick this up. Sell for Combat Barrier.
500
To put pressure on your opponent in lane. This is well applied in winning lanes to capitalize on momentum, and against lane opponents who are fond of standing out from cover regardless of advantaged / disadvantaged lane state.

QSR is most effectively used at the end of your first clip to extend your damage whether against an enemy, tower, or camp. It can also be used to extend the buff of Kinetic Dash to two clips.
1250
Ganking Tech (Read Annotations) Runners ↓ Leechers ↓ Gunners ↓
1750
Our default ganking relic, an excellent tool for locking down enemies into your Bullet Dance or otherwise.
1250
Against Tanks & Leeches like Abrams, Shiv, and Geist. Use this during a gank or to push them away in a team fight.
1250
If your opponent has high weapon damage output, use this during a gank to create a one-sided exchange. Best against Wraith, Ivy, McGinnis, Talon, etc.
Late Game
BF → SO
3000
6000
Priority Late Game Picks
6000
If you are getting heavily CC'd in Bullet Dance or otherwise, I advise you buy this before the other T4 options. Unstoppable does a lot to keep us alive in Late Game.
6000
When facing heavy spirit users, which is frequent, new Silencer shuts them down completely.
Late Game Tech
No Order, Read Annotations!
6000
A straightforward “nerf” relic for our late game, it’s impossible to go wrong with Inhibitor. Especially helpful for outliving fights against metal skinned enemies.
6000
A strong relic to pierce through the pervasive Bullet Armor present in the current meta. Crippling Headshot frequently out damages Lucky Shot currently, and is considered the optimal choice for maximizing damage.
3000
To combat rampant gun builds, especially those that thrive off of burst interactions (Bebop hook combo, McGinnis wall combo, etc.)
6000
A strong pairing with gun or Ult to briefly increase your sustain and keep enemies locked around you. If incoming CC is low, this can supersede Unstoppable.
6000
If their team has a massive carry, Curse is sometimes a requirement to kill them and turn a teamfight.
Spirit Armors
1250
An essential purchase at some point, it’s important to sense when that is exactly in the match. Frequently around the 11-15 minute mark.
4250
Another essential purchase, but can be picked up much later in the round. Any time after Spiritual Overflow is ideal.
