Item Build
Early Game
Buy left to right. If you lower the Bullet Resistance of the enemy, it means you'll deal more Melee Damage to them! If you feel like you'll parry a lot, get Rebuttal in the Parrying section! Upon acquiring Express Shot, use your Alt-Fire (RMB) to deal big damage! Just remember to wait 4s between shots to get its effect! Use it after a Heavy Melee!
Allows your Puddle Punch (3) to restore about ~100hp when you hit a hero. | Upgrade into Lifestrike |
Gives you an extra charge of Puddle Punch (3). Useful to harass more! | Upgrade into Rapid Recharge |
Empowers your Puddle Punch (3) and melee to deal some Spirit Damage and reduce Spirit Resistance. Try to land Splatter (1) after using this! | Upgrade into Spirit Snatch |
Lane Healing
Buy one of those items to remain in lane and not miss out on souls! Sell the item you picked later. Mystic Regen can be triggered by Puddle Punch (3) thanks to Spirit Strike. Extra Regen is the most passive option.
Upon activation, grants you a decent amount of healing over time, as long as you don't take damage from Heroes or Towers. |Can be sold for a slot|
Mid Game
Buy left to right. Use a mix of Melee and Puddle Punch (3) to deal damage, heal and debuff your enemies! If you are able to time parries well, grab Counterspell as it'll make you able to parry many ultimate abilities!
A large increase in melee damage. Will also improve your healing, and put a big slow on the enemy. Works with Puddle Punch (3).
Parrying
If you are confident in your parries, then these will help you dish out more damage and increase your survivability by a considerable amount.
Late Game
You can buy left to right, or pick whatever you deem necessary after getting Superior Cooldown. Don't forget to get an Active as it'll allow you to deal with many different threats by either gaining resistances, movement, CC, healing and more!
Reduces the cooldown of your abilities, but also items and item effects such as Lifestrike or Crushing Fists!
Any enemy near you will have their bullet resistance and fire rate lowered. Tripled if the enemy is alone!
Deal spirit damage to the two nearest enemies, which provides us with constant passive damage at melee range. Scourge can be bought instead!
Survival
If you find yourself dying easily or taking too much damage, consider one (or more) of those items! Since the rework, Barriers work with Resistances.
If you take too much GUN damage in quick succession, this item will grant you a nice Barrier to help you survive!
If you take too much SPIRIT damage in quick succession or a big burst of damage, this item will grant you a nice Barrier to help you survive!
Grants you decent Barrier when you get CC'd, including when you get Parried! Useful against Mirage's Tornado, Bebop's Hook, Abrams' Charge, Haze's Sleep and more!
Removes Bebop's Bomb, Infernus' Burn, Vindicta's Tether, Mirage's Tornado, and more! NO LONGER removes Pocket's Affliction.
Gain a chance to ignore bullet effects when you get shot. You also have a chance to deflect bullets back.
Actives
Those actives are extremely powerful items to gain the edge against the enemy. If you frontline a lot, I recommend Arctic Blast or Scourge. Focus Lens is useful if enemies tend to escape before you finish them off. Do not buy Return Fire if you have Juggernaut.
Deflect a portion of damage taken for a few seconds. You need to have Line of Sight for the deflect to work. Sell if you have Juggernaut.
Can be used to heal yourself (And an ally!) a large amount of health. You can also pull an ally to you. Also works when your Ally is in The Cube (2).
Become immune to any form of Crowd Control for a few seconds. You cannot get parried while this is active!
Grants you a large amount of max HP passively, but also a decent amount of resistances, and a slowing aura upon activation.
Teleports you to a target, disarms and slows them while also dealing a burst of Spirit Damage. This will bring down any flying enemy to the ground.
Deals a burst of Spirit Damage around you, that also slows enemies hit. REMEMBER: Punch first before using this to trigger Spirit Strike and lower the enemy's resistance!
Unleash an ice wave around you upon use, similar to Cold Front. The wave will FREEZE enemies hit. Frozen enemies take more damage.
Gain a large amount of Spirit Resistance and an Area of Effect around you that deals damage to enemies near based off their Max Health. Can be applied to an Ally! This can replace Torment Pulse.
Anti-Healing
If you feel like that Crippling Headshot isn't enough to reduce the enemy's healing consider one of those! Healbane is the cheapest and can be triggered by dealing Spirit Damage!
Situational & Counters
These items will help you have a better time against specific enemies or simply allow you to modify your gameplay to something that fits you more. Keep in mind that these items are NOT part of the build. Decay, Silence Wave, Knockdown and Curse are powerful actives that can be bought to counter specific heroes.
Every 8s, your next bullet will deal a burst of spirit damage. Be mindful that it'll go on cooldown even if you miss. Can be used for various combos with the Alt Fire.
This works with Puddle Punch (3) but the enemy needs to not be looking at you. The angle of the Punch does not matter as long as they aren't looking at you. | Can be sold for a slot |
Prioritize using this on a Tier 3 Neutral enemy to gain plenty of souls upon use. This also grants you various useful buffs!
Grants you more damage when you're really close to your enemies! Your close range gun damage/melee damage will also slow down your enemies.
When you are at high health, you'll deal more bullet damage! Which means more melee damage! You also lower the enemy's bullet resistance when hitting them with bullets, not melee.
Your bullets will charge up Spirit Power for more damage with Splatter (1) and actives such as Cold Front or Arctic Blast.
You become very resilience to spirit damage when below half health. You also gain movement speed which helps you escape delicate situations.
Extra Bullet Damage & Fire rate when you are above 65% health. Useful if you find yourself in need of some Bullet Resistance.
Extra Spirit & Cooldown reduction when you are above 65% health. Useful if you find yourself in need of some Spirit Resistance.
Lowers the duration of Infernus' Burn, Mirage's Tornado, any form of stuns or immobilize and more. This includes the stun when you get Parried!
Grants you a large amount of health regen when you don't take damage for 12s. This means you don't have to go to base to heal!
Become immune to bullet damage upon use for 4s! Useful against Haze, Wraith and more. Can be paired with Return Fire!
Lowers the fire rate of an enemy. Useful against gun oriented characters like Vyper, Haze, Infernus, Wraith and more.
Blocks a target's movement abilities and movement items (Like Warp Stone) for a short duration. Use it BEFORE they use their movement ability.
Disarm a hero for 4 seconds and lower their bullet resistance. A hard counter to Haze, Wraith, Vyper and Infernus!
Throw a wave forward that silences, lowers spirit resistance and their spirit power. Useful against Yamato, Geist, Lash, Pocket, and many more.
