Fully annotated!
This is a melee bruiser build. Make sure to pick up Situational items.
Now go and be a catgirl!
Patch 2025-07-29 is really rough on this. Melee was heavily nerfed. Spirit Calico is best at the moment. This build is fun though.

Left to right! Get all items.


I
Prosciug. salute corpo a corpo
Great healing in lane from punching minions. And we upgrade this into Lifestrike. Procs on your 2 as well!


III
Colpo fortificante
So much fun. Use off CD with heavy melee in lane for a 100 health heal on a 4 sec CD. So good for sustain, which lets you permafight/push in lane. Also slows for both ult damage ticks.


II
Traditore
Really good early. Great for the poke damage and the move speed to help chase people down.


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


I
Salute extra
Extra health is great in lane and we can upgrade this to Fortitude or Colossus later. If you need slots you can sell it though.


I
Colpo spirituale
A bunch of extra damage on our 2 and punches. We upgrade this to Spirit Snatch.


II
Carica corpo a corpo
Melee damage is really fun. We upgrade this into Crushing Fists.


I
Stivali da corsa
Speeds up your rotations significantly and upgrades into Juggernaut.


I
Cartucce anti-mostro
Great if enemies are pushing to your tower.


I
Colpo curativo
Great healing.


I
Rigenerazione extra
Great if you need constant healing. You can upgrade this into Healing Booster and then Healing Tempo.


I
Attiva
Rito curativo
Great for healing if you get really low in lane. Sprint speed is also nice for rotating.


I
Resistenza extra
Personal preference alternative to Sprint Boots. We upgrade this into Kinetic Dash.


I
Obiezione
Incredible against Viscous in lane since it works against Viscous Puddle Punches. Also a very good item against people building melee (usually Abrams).
Roughly left to right.


III
Furto spirituale
Spirit resist and power steal is amazing. Plus even more melee damage and it procs on your 2. Great damage over the course of a game.


III
Impulso di tormento
Great damage over the course of a game/fight. And makes you a little tankier. Great for farming as well. Just super good core item.


II
Velocità persistente
Great for rotations, the move slow resist and move speed in fights is really nice. If you went Extra Stamina go Kinetic Dash here instead.


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 more. However, you can go Veil Walker here instead or both, since its really OP atm.
Get as needed.


III
Furia
Great for damage and bullet resist.


IV
Pugni frantumanti
Big powerspike. You can rush earlier if you are doing well. If you aren't having success with melee you could skip this and go into more of a spirit build.


III
Aura del cacciatore
Resist shred is always great. Makes you very strong in 1v1s. You could just skip for AB/Scourge here instead if they have no gun carries that are an issue.


III
Ricarica breve
Really great for increasing your uptime with your ult and for letting you do more slashes in fights.
Pick and choose depending on what you need. Some can be built in lane/early.


II
Colpo alla testa sfiancante
Easy to proc. Increases yours and your teams damage. Upgrades to Crippling Headshot which is great in the late game.


II
Scatto cinetico
Amazing for ammo since it gives a flat amount rather than a percentage. Helps for pushing objectives.


III
Controincantesimo
Great against almost everything in the game. Especially Lash.


III
Attiva
Dissipatore debuff
Must buy against a ton of characters, Vindicta and Infernus in particular.


II
Riduttore debuff
You can build this into Debuff Remover vs certain characters. No longer helps with parry stun though.


III
Mech del velo
If you get this, get it early. Really nice for rotating around the map, ganking, escaping/survivability, and the heal is great in the mid game for staying on the map (like Fortitude).


III
Resilienza balistica
If you need anti-bullet.


III
Resilienza spirituale
If you need anti-spirit.


II
Attiva
Fuoco di risposta
Got nerfed but is still good against gun carries. Gives you lots of survivability. Often build in lane.


II
Protezione spirituale
Can build in lane. Got nerfed but I think it is still quite strong at the moment early on.


II
Barriera reattiva
Nice in some lanes such as against Bebop.


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


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


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


III
Attiva
K.O.
Good against flying characters like Vindicta and Grey Talon. Also used for knocking Seven out of his ultimate.


III
Attiva
Onda del silenzio
Very strong at the moment, silence is very good against many characters and it reduces their resist. I recommend against characters like Yamato and Pocket.
Get depending on game state. If you don't know what to get, go AB or Scourge first.


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


IV
Attiva
Esplosione polare
Really great item, practically a guarenteed kill in the late game if your team is with you. The combo with it is 2, Arctic Blast, light punch, 1, 4. Also great for clearing waves quickly in cat form.


IV
Attiva
Flagello
Really good. 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.


IV
Colpo alla testa invalidante
One of the best damage items in the game because of the shred. The anti-heal is also amazing.


IV
Juggernaut
Amazing against gun carries.


IV
Attiva
Colosso
Extra resists and health is great. If you haven't sold Extra Health this is a good upgrade.


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


IV
Tempo di ricarica trascendentale
Gives you way more uptime on your ult and items. Also works on Torment Pulse.


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
Sanguisuga
Stay alive more, nice for hybrid builds.
You can get some of these earlier as counter buys.


IV
Silenziatore
Can be good for shutting down ability reliant characters.


IV
Frenesia
Good survivability against spirit.


IV
Attiva
Inarrestabile!
If you're getting CCed or parried constantly. Also for midboss.


IV
Catena delle streghe
Very situational. Only get against lots of incremental spirit damage (McGinnis turrets, Infernus, Warden Ult). Still testing this.


IV
Armatura corazzata
Really good against characters like Haze and Infernus, get after you already have bullet resist of some kind though.


IV
Attiva
Barriera divina
Can remove ult debuffs such as Pocket ult. Prioritise casting it on other people though since half the CD gets refunded.


IV
Ritmo di guarigione
Good healing + movement.


III
Rigenerazione splendente
Quite good healing and move speed. Adds up to a lot in longer fights since Torment Pulse and Scourge easily procs it. Still testing.


IV
Attiva
Maledizione
If you need to screw over one enemy in particular.


IV
Attiva
Trasformazione eterea
Great on Calico, helps you live much longer. They nerfed the cooldown though, so not as good as it used to be.
Typical late build, Beserker should also be here.
Random things I am testing.


III
Colpi ponderati
Has good stats.


III
A bruciapelo
The weapon damage and slow is nice but the extra weapon damage does not work with your 2 I think.


II
Attiva
Piè veloce
Alternative to Backstabber, you'd buy this after lane though.


III
Collezionista di trofei
Only buy if you are 100% sure you will get many stacks.


III
Attiva
Pelle metallica
This since it got buffed is actually kinda really good against some characters, especially Haze. I'd get this if just buying Bullet Resilience or Juggernaut isn't enough maybe.


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


II
Giubbotto da battaglia
Great item in lane for the regen, the resist is really good as well. Later though you should just get Bullet Resilience instead. Also great for farming denizens.


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


II
Infondere
Tempo di ricarica compresso
Imbue on 4. Builds into Superior CD.
