Billy tanking is pain. Kill them all instead.
[PRESS QUEUE BUILD AT THE TOP]
Annotated and includes additional categories for pivoting your build.
As Billy you're pretty OP in lane. Your wave clear is stronger than most characters as you can spam light melees on troopers while you are reloading, so you can always have pressure. [ - ] Enemies are forced to respect you as walking up to the bridge and beyond gives you enough space to punish them hard. With Blasted you win every melee trade, and with Rising Ram and Bashdown you keep them out of position. [ - ] Look for opportunities to punish overextension whenever possible. Ideally wave prio is more important but if the enemy is disrespecting your space or hard pressuring your lane partner on your side you need to be there immediately. [ - ] Smart enemies will not give you space to kill them with, so in this scenario, shove wave hard and leave to go box and get even stronger. The enemy will either make an aggressive play for you to punish or you will get strong enough from wave shoving and box farming to dive them under their tower. [ - ] When your ultimate comes up, try to force value on it as soon as possible. The moment they give you space instantly dive with ult. [ - ] Golden rule: communicate with your lane partner when you're diving !!!

I
Curi HP Jarak Dekat
Activates on Bashdown. Heavy melee minion waves to keep the cooldown short. Feel free to sell this first.


I
Jarak Dekat
Melee resist to help you make all melee damage trades positive. Extra gun damage in Billy's effective range.


I
Amunisi Monster
Helps you kill all NPCs faster to gain wave prio and take jungle faster. Take less chip damage from all NPCs. Super good item.


II
Serangan Jarak Dekat
Helps you secure a heavy melee after the enemy whiffs a parry, and increases the damage you get from heavy melees. Without this item heavy melees are pretty garbage and unreliable.


II
Aktif
Langkah Seribu
Getting slowed really sucks and extra slide distance lets you take more advantage of infinite ammo. Bonus of having the option to Heavy Melee Cancel with the active use.


II
Kecepatan Abadi
Must have item to stay in your enemies' face, better than Sprint Boots as it improves your move speed instead of sprint speed.


III
Penyerang Nyawa
Big sustain spike for the build. Next sustain spikes are Colossus and Vampiric Burst.


I
Magasin Besar
More ammo to keep pressure with m1. Blasted ammo refill is scaled by max ammo, so this makes our light melee reload more effective.


I
Aktif
Ritual Penyembuhan
Actually OP item. Use this inbetween waves and hit boxes, take sinners, or take camps. Can be bought later if you're omega pooping on the enemy lane (would still buy anyway though).


I
Pemulihan Ekstra
Very solid green item, always worth taking if you're taking more damage than you'd like.


I
Health Ekstra
Good for surviving big bursts more.


I
Serangan Balik
For the naughty laners who like to melee you a lot. Don't just spam it like a bot, that will get you killed.


II
Perisai Reaktif
Super clutch against cc from Haze, Paige, Mo & Krill, etc.


II
Perisai Spirit
Nerfed, but still good. Now not the answer to everything but still worth considering.
After lane I would generally recommend trying to play around your ult's cooldown. Farm by catching trooper waves and stealing enemy jungling. Using Blasted in jungle will allow you to leave camps with more HP than you entered with. [ - ] Make sure to pause jungling to prioritize catching the nearest wave EVERY time, the jungle will still be there and is worth less than troopers. [ - ] When ult is off cooldown, keep farming but look at your map and try to scope out where a fight is going to happen and start rotating. If one is already happening and you can make it, start rotating. Billy is an insane teamfighter when his ult is ready. You can also rotate for fights when you have no ult if you can gank quickly, or if you catch someone seriously out of position.

II
Penghancur Pertahanan Peluru
Resist, shred, and gets you 4.8k spirit. Synergizes well with Torment Pulse.


III
Rampas Spirit
Still an insane item, arguably even better on Billy now once Bashdown reaches Lv3. Helps you reach bigger burst with Bashdown.


III
Point Blank
Huge damage increase up close, which is where all your fights will be. Gives a slow effect as well to help you stay on top of your target.


III
Peningkatan Ketahanan
Great stat increases + bullet resist that scales pretty high and lasts a long time. Has no fall-off range so you can shoot targets from afar to get your resist stacks early.


III
Aktif
Aura Heroik
Bullet resist for everyone around you, move speed, fire rate, and winions all in one. Even better if you have a teammate with summons (Graves or McGinnis).


II
Rompi Perang
Nice bullet resist and damage output increase.


III
Aktif
Batu Teleportasi
Mobility to get in and/or out paired with a huge resist buff.


III
Ketahanan Peluru
More useful now than pre-November patch. Fat resist bonus when low.


III
Aktif
Kulit Logam
No more bullets for you, evil gun carry. Be aware you can still be punched and have spells cast on you.


IV
Armor Baja
Very good item against really strong gun characters when you already have some bullet resist.


III
Aktif
Darah Penghormatan
Spirit resist and strong debuff resist. Super useful into Abrams Shoulder Charge and Venator Gutshot.


II
Emblem Sihir
Very good spirit power (+ resist) increase item. Spirit power not only increases your damage but also your Blasted bonus HP scaling.


III
Aktif
Penghilang Sihir
Can be used to clear debuffs and curses like Warden's Binding Word or Vindicta's Stake. New spirit resist makes it even better into characters like Infernus.


IV
Penawar Sihir
Not only helps you eat large spirit damage chunks but gives base spirit and debuff resist too.


II
Kerentanan Mistis
Cheap resist and shred that pairs well with Spirit Snatch.


II
Aktif
Gelombang Es
Gives spirit resist and is lowkey a little OP. Strong early damage that scales and slows for a long duration. Effectively a 5th ability. Do not sleep on this item.


III
Ekspansi Besar
Synergizes with all your Bashdown and Chain Gang very well and also gives you spirit resist on top.


IV
Aktif
Bencana
Fat spirit resist and max health percentage damage.


II
Pengurang Debuff
Big into cc heavy teams, works well with Reactive Barrier and upgrades into Spellbreaker or Unstoppable.


III
Tolak Bala
Super good item, highly recommend against characters who rely on their abilities. Can also parry walker stomp to proc a free heal and stat bonus.


IV
Aktif
Dinding Agung
If you're too grandpa to Counterspell Affliction in time (me) this item will be a very expensive band-aid to your poor reaction time.


II
Aktif
Kutukan Pelambat
Unironically OP item. Silences movement abilities, so it's very good for shutting down characters who rely on them like Lash, Mina, or Infernus.


II
Penekan
Very helpful when played into characters that rely on their m1.


III
Aktif
Roboh
Like Slowing Hex, kind of OP, lets you get picks easier and shuts down people in the sky.


III
Aktif
Gelombang Sunyi
Fallen from grace since last patch but still a silence which proves useful when ambushing enemies.


IV
Aktif
Relik Terkutuk
Another item to shutdown carries with, boasting even more debuffs and clearing all buffs.
As the game progresses past the 20 minute mark, respawn timers will get much longer and deaths will result in opportunities for teams to make plays for objectives like walkers or mid-boss. [ - ] In the late game communicate with your team to keep waves shoved safely and avoid anyone being caught alone. [ - ] Prioritize safely collecting more souls while also looking for opportunities to get picks on the enemy team. Depending on the target, you may be able to mid-boss off one pick (high value pit fighters such as Dynamo or Abrams), but in most cases two picks is the safest mid-boss scenario. [ - ] Adjust your build to what is most necessary, sometimes it's worth grabbing Heroic for bullet resist and NPC buffs if you need it more than Weighted Shots. [ - ] Ultimately, winning the game requires you to turn on your mic and work together.

III
Ketahanan Spirit
Spirit damage feels pretty prevalent as a frontliner right now, so I personally take Spirit Resilience at some point in the game. Very strong effect that pairs well with more spirit resist or Frenzy.


III
Tembakan Berat
Gives additional weapon damage + debuff and spirit resist.


IV
Kegilaan
Very good item to resist incoming spirit damage and retaliate with bonus stats. If necessary grab before Heroic Aura. In primarily spirit comps, pair with Spirit Resilience for 75% resist.


IV
Peredam
Lowers enemy spirit damage output, and silences them. It builds up stacks on your Bashdown so you can hit multiple people with it at once. Very good.


III
Denyut Siksaan
Pair with Bullet Resist Shredder to keep the effect active, + fat dps just for being around people.


IV
Aktif
Jaring Pusaran
Insane CC item. Pairs really well with Bashdown and Chain Gang. With Vortex Web you dictate the teamfight.


IV
Juggernaut
Great tank item to compliment bullet resists when going against multiple gun builds.


IV
Aktif
Colossus
Fat HP increase + insane resists and more weapon damage. Very good tank item.


IV
Aktif
Tak Terhentikan
Use this to face tank cc ults during sensitive moments such as midboss. Enemy team comp dependant item.


IV
Aktif
Ledakan Vampir
Pop this when you sustain heavy damage and can shoot someone reliably, will restore you back to full very quickly.


II
Magasin Super
Even more ammo and gun damage. Extra ammo is important because it scales our melee ammo replenish and lets us mix up our melee mindgames.


III
Berserker
If you can sustain yourself enough to take the high damage this will turn you into a dps monster.


III
Imbue [E]
Tenun Balistik
This item is INSANE damage. Cultist Sacrifice is less necessary with how squishy jungle is now, and this grants you the range and damage aspect but better early on.


IV
Tembakan Keberuntungan
Crazy damage output with this item on with no downsides and even more ammo.


II
Kutukan Penyembuhan
Cheap antiheal and heals on kill. Great for ganking playstyle.


IV
Penghambat
Like Silencer, this item works with Bashdown, so you can affect multiple people at once. Destroy Abrams.


III
Aktif
Penyusutan
Antiheal best suited for characters with a large HP pool.


IV
Headshot Pelumpuh
Super easy to activate shred for both damage types + antiheal.


II
Headshot Pelemah
Cheap and easy bullet resist shred.


III
Aura Pemburu
Big bullet resist shred on alone targets, and bullet resist shred around people in general.


IV
Pukulan Penghancur
Stacking even more bullet resist shred. Against some characters with channeled ults, the stun affect can be huge (Bebop, Mo, Dynamo if you have max ult Unstoppable).
