An early game assassin gun build that pivots into hard a hard gun carry.
I have annotated a lot to avoid confussion, but if you ever find me ingame then feel free to ask questions!
[IMPORTANT]: With this build, you are suddenly playing a rougelite. Your mistakes will be punished even harder. For this build to work well for you, you need to understand its powerspikes.
Prioritize using your shield to get favorable trades in lane, usually for yourself but don't neglect your partner. L -> R


II
Ativa
Disparo Dividido
Makes your damage unmissable. Buy Spirit* Shielding first if the lane is difficult. With T2 Defend and Fight!, this is your first powerspike. * See [Spirit Shielding]


I
Regeneração Adicional
[OPTIONAL] Buy if lane feels hard.


II
Colete de Batalha
If you're going for Cultist Sacrifice, ignore this item. Otherwise, it pairs nicely with Hollow Point later on.


II
Velocidade Resiliente
Speed is your best friend. Paige (ironically) is one of the faster heroes in this game. More speed means that you're able to catch up or run away better than most of the roster.


II
Ativa
Pés Ligeiros
This one specifically lets you catch up with people. Also more speed lmao.
These buys are each major power spikes, try to single out people and burst them.


III
Tiro Expresso
This is the grand opal of this build, you can easily nuke low health heroes with this item or cause higher health heroes to run in fear. Though, don't try to fight any solo powerhouses (ex: Drifter).


II
Infundir
Recarregamento Célere
Less reloading = more time dealing damage.


III
Ponta Oca
Even more damage, even more nuking.


III
Rajada de Balas
Even more damage, even more nuking.


II
Balas Vampíricas
Ideally you will get at least one item in the next category first, but if you have (almost) every flex slot, then now is fine.
Pivot to hard carrying.


IV
Ativa
Rajada Vampírica
Just frontline, no one's stopping you (assuming your team is fighting with you). Especially use against return fire, as return fire is (un)surprisingly effective against you.
These are either A) more power, or B) counters to avoid being oblitered off the face of the Earth.


III
Contrafeitiço
Especially good against Wraith, Lash, and Pocket ult, but it's also a good all-rounder counter item. Buy earlier as needed.


III
Ativa
Removedor de Malefícios
Buy against easy stuns/lockdowns, I often buy this against Warden, Mirage, and Vindicta. Also insta-buy if they're buying Disarming Hex. Buy earlier as needed.


III
Ativa
Pedra Errática
Powerful evasion plus bullet resist.


III
Ativa
Pele de Aço
Hard counter to gun, but makes you slower. User discretion is advised, but no damage is no damage.


IV
Implacável
Acceptable against any characters that rely on fire rate or big slows. I'd prefer other options personally, but Juggernaut isn't an extra slot in this build so there's that.


III
Revigoração
General survivability item, though I'd strongly advise getting something more specific if the match allows for it.


IV
Ativa
Colosso
It is exceedingly rare that this is a good idea, but it is survivability that makes it harder for your enemies to run from. Also, more damage.


IV
Ativa
Ataque Fantasma
This could be funny but I haven't tested it yet. If you're brave, test it out.


IV
Ricochete
Crowd Control go brrrt. That being said, you already deal a lot of damage to crowds. I would advise against it, but your mileage may vary.


IV
Infundir
Magnum Mercurial
I actually don't prioritize Mercurial Magnum as it's pretty bad on Paige compared to other choices (namely: Vampiric Burst). But, it is more fire rate without expending a slot (DMG sucks).
If you want to avoid Battle Vest. I recommend shielding, though.


I
Botas de Corrida
Buy these two (Sprint Boots and Monster Rounds) after High-Velocity Rounds.


I
Munição Mata-Monstro
After this, buy shielding, then Cultist Sacrifice. This maximizes health/health regen without selling items later.


III
Ativa
Ritual de Sacrifício
Consider buying this after Express Shot if you think you won't be able to make use of these buffs. Otherwise, full send.
Buy one (or none) as needed.


II
Proteção Espiritual
Pretty much every character will proc this at some point in lane, but if you think Weapon Shielding/Reactive Barrier would be better, then go for it.
