Typically get items from left to right.


I
Prosciug. salute corpo a corpo
Very common buy. Great healing in lane from punching minions. And we can optionally upgrade this into Lifestrike for more sustain.


II
Ombra
Great damage and stats in lane and gives you move speed for chasing. The foostep sound reduction is also nice. And this gives you wallhacks from the DoT. This is also for the weapon investment bonus.


I
Colpo spirituale
We upgrade this to Spirit Snatch later. Adds to our burst.


II
Attiva
Fronte glaciale
Adds to your burst damage, and the slow is great. We also can upgrade this into Arctic Blast.


III
Impulso di tormento
Great damage over the course of a game/fight. And makes you a little tankier. Also helps with farming. Just super good core item for us. Gets us our 4.8k spirit investment.


I
Stivali da corsa
Must buy for rotating around the map and ganking other lanes. Builds into Enduring Speed for our Vitality investment spike.


II
Velocità persistente
Great for move speed in fights and the slow resist. Hits your 4.8k vitality investment.


I
Tiro ravvicinato
Worth going early now for Point Blank if you prefer that. Nice for melee resist as well.


I
Rigenerazione extra
Worse than the other lane healing items imo. Plus if you're getting Lifestrike it's useless.


I
Attiva
Rito curativo
Great for healing if you get really low in lane. Sprint speed is also nice for rotating. If you're going to buy one of these situational healing items, get this one since it stays useful after lane.


I
Obiezione
Great against Viscous in lane since it works against Viscous Puddle Punches. Also a very good item against people building melee (Abrams and Billy). Only buy if you can actually parry consistently.


III
Colpo fortificante
So much fun. Use off CD with heavy melee in lane for a 100 health heal on a 4 sec CD. Lets you permafight/push in lane. Also slows for both ult damage ticks. Can skip though, and instead go VW or Fort


II
Spirito migliorato
Great for damage in lane on your bombs. The regen it gives is also nice. With T2 bombs this gets them to over 80 damage which will proc Mystic Burst.
Roughly left to right.


III
Aura del cacciatore
Great for one v ones. Probably the best 3.2k weapon item for your 4.8k weapon investment.


I
Salute extra
210 health is kinda insane early, so you could get this in lane. We build this into Fortitude.


III
Forza d'animo
The health is great for survivability, the move speed is great for rotating, and the heal lets you stay on the map longer. I prefer this over VW cause it works in the tunnels.


III
Furto spirituale
Spirit resist and power steal is amazing. Plus even more melee damage and it procs on your 2.


II
Imbue [E]
Tempo di ricarica compresso
You can put this on your 2 or your 4, depends on what you want. 2 is better for snowballing, 4 is better for being able to fight more.


III
Ricarica breve
Cooldown reduction is really useful. Gives you way more uptime.
Get as you want.


IV
Attiva
Esplosione polare
Really great item, great for catching people and for clearing waves in cat form. The combo with it is Arctic Blast, 2 immediately so the AB travels with you, light punch, 1, 4.


III
Attiva
Dissipatore di magie
Must buy against Slowing Hex. Really great against a ton of characters, especially Vindicta, Infernus, Bebop and others who debuff you. Also great for spirit resist now.


IV
Tempo di ricarica trascendentale
Great item once you have 2 actives. It also makes Torment Pulse tick faster! Very good with Ethereal Shift in particular.


IV
Attiva
Flagello
Usually after Arctic Blast. Makes you really tanky and can do a lot of damage if you get into the middle of their team. You can rush earlier if you feel it would be good or have the money.
Pick and choose depending on what you need. Some can be built in lane/early.


III
Controincantesimo
Great against certain characters and abilities. Especially Lash.


III
Resilienza spirituale
If you need anti-spirit. Very common buy although not absolutely necessary since we build many items that have spirit resist already. Really strong at the moment.


III
Resilienza balistica
For bullet resist. If it's early, probably just go Battle Vest instead though. If it's late and you've got Transcendent Cooldown I would just go Metal Skin instead.


III
Attiva
Pelle metallica
This since it got buffed is actually kinda really good against some characters, especially Haze and Drifter. I'd get this as an alternative to Bullet Resilience or Plated Armor. Good with trans CD


III
Mech del velo
Alternative to Fortitude. Really nice for rotating around the map, ganking, escaping/survivability, and the heal is great. I don't like this too much since it doesn't work in the tunnels.


II
Emblema dell'incantatore
Great for more spirit resist early. Cooldown reduction is really rare so this is a great item since it gives you some.


II
Riduttore debuff
Good if you need debuff reduction and are going to build Spellbreaker later (good if they have heavy spirit burst such as Grey Talon or Lash).


II
Protezione spirituale
Great against spirit damage. You can get in some lanes.


II
Barriera reattiva
Great item and good in many lanes. And late game has good spirit scaling, and ends up being like a 500+ barrier.


II
Giubbotto da battaglia
Good item at the moment, the bullet resist and regen is great in lane. Later though you should just get Bullet Resilience. Also good for farming denizens.


II
Maledizione curativa
Easy to proc anti-heal. The heal on kill is also really great during midgame fights.


III
Attiva
Onda del silenzio
Good item. Very common buy. Silence is very good against many characters and since it's an AoE it can hit many people in a teamfight.


II
Soppressore
Great at stopping gun carries. Easy to proc and can proc on many people.


II
Attiva
Maledizione di rallentamento
Good against Mina, and other movement focused people.


II
Attiva
Linfa spirituale
Builds into Focus Lens, easy to use and great for 1v1s. Makes your burst way stronger.


III
A bruciapelo
Feels pretty good. It is now fixed for your 2! Difficult on slots though. Good for melee resist if you need that.
Get depending on game state. If you don't know what to get, get Colossus and upgrades.


IV
Attiva
Colosso
Melee damadge and tankiness. Pick between this and Ethereal Shift for your last active slot, or sell Dispel Magic.


IV
Attiva
Trasformazione eterea
They doubled the CD on it so it's way worse, still might be good though on Calico. Helps you live much longer. Great with Transcendent CD. You can skip for more damage if you're not dying.


IV
Colpo di fortuna
Great for damage and ammo, repalces Stalker.


IV
Colpo alla testa invalidante
Best item in the game for damage as it shreds resists so your entire team will do more damage. And anti-heal is so good.


II
Vulnerabilità mistica
Upgrades into Escalating Exposure. Spirit shred is extremely useful.


IV
Esposizione crescente
This with Scourge is insane. You run into the middle of the enemy team with Scourge and they take like 2-4k damage. Also has shred and gives you even more spirit resist so you're even tankier.


IV
Juggernaut
Great against gun carries and is good to pick up if you have no free slots.


IV
Spirito sconfinato
Gives you some much needed damage in the late game with your ult and gloom bombs. Great if you are trying to oneshot their carries.


IV
Bruciatura spirituale
Anti-heal + more burst damage. If you need to burst carries this is really useful.


IV
Attiva
Obiettivo
Quite strong at the moment, shred is good.
You can get some of these earlier as counter buys.


IV
Attiva
Inarrestabile!
Really great in late teamfights. Especially good if you are really struggling against CC. Or for midboss.


IV
Rompi-incantesimo
Incredible against Lash, Grey Talon, and any other spirit burst characters.


IV
Attiva
Colpo fantasma
Good for shutting down fliers and gun carries. And for getting on top of the people you need to target in team fights.


IV
Armatura corazzata
Great but usually only buy once you already have bullet resist. Great against Haze.


IV
Catena delle streghe
Kind of a meme item. Very situational. Only get against lots of incremental spirit damage (McGinnis turrets, Infernus, Warden Ult) and have Spirit Resilience already.


IV
Pallottole drenanti
Might be quite nice against tanks if you've gone into more gun late game.


III
Controllo della stamina
fun item, good value, mmm mmmmovement. You could buy this in the mid game some time rather than getting resists perhaps.


III
Attiva
Pietra deformante
Good for movement and the bullet resist is nice.


IV
Attiva
Reliquia maledetta
If you really need to screw over someone in particular.


III
Anticarro
ONLY GET AFTER ARCTIC BLAST. Tankbuster tool tip lies and it actually procs with items such as Arctic Blast. Decent for more burst damage but I don't like it much.
Most of these suck!


IV
Attiva
Tappeto magico
Fun and silly! Also good escape tool. Just worse to get than other 6ks though.


III
Rigenerazione splendente
Kind of fun, but not very good. Adds up to a decent amount of heal in longer fights since Torment Pulse and Scourge easily procs it.


III
Imbue [E]
Picco di potenza
It's nice on your bombs. You like all the things it gives you. But before you get Arctic Blast, the bombs are inconsistent to hit, and your bombs don't have that good spirit scaling.


III
Attiva
K.O.
If no one else on your team is going to buy this and you really need to stop a Vindicta/GT or Seven ult.


III
Attiva
Decadimento
I don't think this is really all that worth it compared to just getting Healbane. Since any person incredibly reliant on healing will just get Debuff Remover. But maybe get against Mo or Abrams.


II
Rallentamento mistico
Just feels really nice, makes it super easy to hit your ults second/end damage burst. Probably also nice against like Vyper.


I
Attiva
Gallina dalle uova d'oro
Probably bad on you since you need early damage.


I
Esplosione mistica
Your bombs can't really proc this anymore. So you can only proc it with Cold Front/Arctic Blast and your ult.


IV
Inganna-morte
If you are actually like the only player on your team doing anything and you have like 65k souls you could get this.


III
Collezionista di trofei
DO NOT EVER BUILD THIS UNLESS YOU ARE 100% SURE YOU WILL GET LOTS OF STACKS. This is often a trap item, which puts you -3k souls down, without giving you anything much in return until later.


II
Attiva
Medaglione rigenerante
10% spirit resist for 1.6k plus the health and stamina is really nice.


II
Attiva
Fuoco di risposta
Decent item against certain gun carries.


II
Protezione balistica
It's nice, but I just prefer to go Return Fire or Suppressor or rush Bullet Resilience early.


IV
Traboccamento spirituale
If you're going more into gun later then this might be good.


III
Attiva
Sacrificio cultista
Possible item for your 4.8k Weapon Investment, but imo it's not that necessary on Calico.


III
Imbue [E]
Incantesimo balistico
Seems fun but probably not good lol. Would probably put on 4 or 1.


II
Attiva
Piè veloce
Not as good since the speed stacking nerf. I still like it though. Good for movespeed in ult and catform. Combine with a 3.2k weapon item to get your 4.8k investment spike.


I
Cartucce anti-mostro
Good if enemies are pushing to your tower or you need to push and take objectives.
