9/9 update: Big overall build change to suit how I've been playing and winning a lot since the patch. Abuse this heroes objective damage while you can :)
Feel free to ask me any questions on the Sinclair discord @RAIGEKI
Lots of spirit power and items we need to empower bolt early
I
Carica extra
Try to sync dropping assistant with 2 bolt charges until you have t2 bolt. I often solo kill someone on wave 3 with assistant + 2 bolts.
I
Cartucce anti-mostro
Helps you keep wave prio so you can play bridge. Our hero is 3x the laner when you have wave prio and have them held under their tower.
I
Spirito extra
Early spirit good
II
Emblema dell'incantatore
Early spirit good
I
Imbue [E]
Espansione mistica
Expansion is needed to be able to farm neutral camps properly with bolt
III
Ricarica rapida
God tier power spike with t3 bolt
III
Imbue [E]
Aumento di potenza
Another god tier power spike, you will be one shotting people at this point in the game or killing buildings solo. Also a source of burst movement speed which we abuse a lot.
III
Mech del velo
Amazing for staying on map forever and for sneaking building damage. With all the movespeed we buy and get from spirit this makes us very hard to catch and very fast at rotating.
GOD BARRIER
II
Barriera reattiva
By far the most value defensive you can get if the game enables it. heroes that can't kill you without proccing it (abrams, haze, bebop) are what you want to buy this against.
Usually in this order
III
Rigenerazione splendente
I know this looks troll but trust me. This item in tandem with veil walker keeps you topped up and on the map at all times and is another source of burst movement speed. SKIP IF YOU ARE LOSING!!!
II
Attiva
Piè veloce
Better than enduring speed imo, if they have a lot of slows you can buy both.
III
Espansione maggiore
Amazing for bolt / rabbit / actives and almost every ult you steal. I buy it at this point to time with t2 rabbit.
III
Ricarica breve
All our power is in our abilities so we want more of them.
II
Spirito migliorato
Builds into boundless later, if you bought slowing hex or suppressor you can buy this earlier for better spirit investment timings.
IV
Spirito sconfinato
Massive raw damage increase to everything and makes us even faster.
Approaching lategame your item choices can vary a lot. based on enemy lineup either max rabbit or ult next and itemize around that.
This is primarily a PUSHING build. Sinclair is the best walker killer in the game this patch and stacking movespeed / sustain like we do lets you put crazy map pressure out the entire game while being very hard to catch.
First 3 items is my preferred order if maxing rabbit first. if you max ult first go off vibes.
IV
Imbue [E]
Attiva
Frammento di eco
Always broken with max rabbit. If I'm maxing ult before rabbit I usually won't buy this unless it goes extremely late.
III
Attiva
Fuoco alchemico
Ton of damage and shred with how much spirit power we have. Just layer this on top of T3 rabbit and watch the free damage roll in.
III
Durata superiore
Usually buy after echo or scourge. Some ultimates like warden / drifter can warrant buying this earlier.
IV
Tempo di ricarica trascendentale
Better to fill open slots but if you're slotlocked or have a ton of actives you can upgrade to this.
IV
Bruciatura spirituale
Really easy to proc and benefits a lot from all the aoe we buy. really good against ult seven / warden or anything else that calls for big antiheal. If antiheal isn't needed I never go this item.
IV
Attiva
Ragnatela a vortice
Strong option post echo shard if you bought slowing hex
IV
Attiva
Flagello
Can throw on your beefiest gorilla against spirit heavy lineups. With greater expansion and sup duration this item is crazy.
IV
Attiva
Tappeto magico
I don't buy this every game like I used to because veil walker and all the movespeed is enough but this is still the best positioning item in the game to land good bolts in teamfights
IV
Attiva
Barriera divina
solid active with ability range on it. Good if you are getting owned by pocket or drifter ult.
Stuff that sometimes comes up, read annotations
I
Attiva
Rito curativo
best lane sustain option. I buy this most games but if you dominate you can skip it
II
Velocità persistente
If they have a ton of slows you can buy this to ensure you run away from anything combined with fleet. In general we already have plenty of movement speed though.
II
Maledizione curativa
Not my job but sometimes good vs heal heavy lineups
III
Controincantesimo
Amazing item now after the buffs. If they have telegraphed spells you NEED to dodge (wraith ult, lash ult, seven stun) this is always a strong buy.
III
Attiva
Pelle metallica
Best anti gun hero item on this hero and often necessary to use seven and warden ults properly, we get a good amount of duration from our items so this pulls extra weight.
III
Attiva
Pietra deformante
Always a decent item, if you are playing around stealing warden / seven / dynamo ults this is good
IV
Attiva
Inarrestabile!
If you're stealing dynamo or seven ult every fight and are against a lot of stuns
II
Attiva
Maledizione di rallentamento
Really strong item to enable kills on elusive heroes. heroes like lash / dash infernus are really hard to hit with bolts if we don't have this.
II
Soppressore
Broken vs m1 heavy lineups
III
Attiva
K.O.
Good against Vindicta, Lash, and channeling ultimates like seven / dynamo.
III
Pallottole tossiche
Some games you will be against a bunch of big chunguses with stacked spirit resist (bebop, mo, shiv). This item puts in crazy work vs those heroes and procs in only 2 shots on this hero.
