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.
Check out my spirit Calico build: 266497
Left to right! Get all items.


I
近战疗法
Great healing in lane from punching minions. And we upgrade this into Lifestrike. Procs on your 2 as well!


III
生命打击
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
暗袭背刺
Really good early. Great for the poke damage and the move speed to help chase people down.


II
主动
冰天雪地
Adds to your burst damage, and the slow is great. We also can upgrade this into Arctic Blast.


I
额外生命
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
大伤元气
A bunch of extra damage on our 2 and punches. We upgrade this to Spirit Snatch.


II
近战蓄力
Melee damage is really fun. We upgrade this into Crushing Fists.


I
疾跑靴
Speeds up your rotations significantly and upgrades into Juggernaut.


I
猎怪弹
Great if enemies are pushing to your tower.


I
疗愈子弹
Great healing.


I
加速回复
Great if you need constant healing. You can upgrade this into Healing Booster and then Healing Tempo.


I
主动
治疗仪式
Great for healing if you get really low in lane. Sprint speed is also nice for rotating.


I
耐力补给
Personal preference alternative to Sprint Boots. We upgrade this into Kinetic Dash.


I
对等还击
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
元灵收割
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
痛苦脉冲
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
疾速不怠
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
坚毅之心
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
狂战士
Great for damage and bullet resist.


IV
粉碎重拳
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
猎人光环
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
超速冷却
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
头弹弱防
Easy to proc. Increases yours and your teams damage. Upgrades to Crippling Headshot which is great in the late game.


II
动能冲刺
Amazing for ammo since it gives a flat amount rather than a percentage. Helps for pushing objectives.


III
法术反制
Great against almost everything in the game. Especially Lash.


III
主动
减益消除
Must buy against a ton of characters, Vindicta and Infernus in particular.


II
减益缩短
You can build this into Debuff Remover vs certain characters. No longer helps with parry stun though.


III
穿幕行者
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
子弹坚甲
If you need anti-bullet.


III
元灵护体
If you need anti-spirit.


II
主动
回应射击
Got nerfed but is still good against gun carries. Gives you lots of survivability. Often build in lane.


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


II
应急屏障
Nice in some lanes such as against Bebop.


II
不治魔咒
Easy to proc anti-heal. The heal on kill is also really great during midgame fights.


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


II
主动
减速魔咒
Good against Lash, Mina, Pocket, and movement focused people.


III
主动
天锤压顶
Good against flying characters like Vindicta and Grey Talon. Also used for knocking Seven out of his ultimate.


III
主动
沉默之潮
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
主动
幻影突袭
Amazing for shutting down fliers and gun carries. And for getting on top of the people you need to target in team fights.


IV
主动
极地冰暴
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
主动
敌之灾患
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
头弹破防
One of the best damage items in the game because of the shred. The anti-heal is also amazing.


IV
破阵之势
Amazing against gun carries.


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


IV
破咒护符
Incredible against Lash, Grey Talon, and any other spirit burst characters.


IV
超凡冷却
Gives you way more uptime on your ult and items. Also works on Torment Pulse.


IV
灵力无边
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
赤蟥
Stay alive more, nice for hybrid builds.
You can get some of these earlier as counter buys.


IV
沉默子弹
Can be good for shutting down ability reliant characters.


IV
狂乱
Good survivability against spirit.


IV
主动
势不可挡
If you're getting CCed or parried constantly. Also for midboss.


IV
巫师护甲
Very situational. Only get against lots of incremental spirit damage (McGinnis turrets, Infernus, Warden Ult). Still testing this.


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


IV
主动
神圣屏障
Can remove ult debuffs such as Pocket ult. Prioritise casting it on other people though since half the CD gets refunded.


IV
治疗律动
Good healing + movement.


III
容光焕发
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
主动
扰动
If you need to screw over one enemy in particular.


IV
主动
身躯虚化
Great on Calico, helps you live much longer. They nerfed the cooldown though, so not as good as it used to be.
Random things I am testing.


III
重压射击
Has good stats.


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


II
主动
轻盈飞步
Alternative to Backstabber, you'd buy this after lane though.


III
寻猎季节
Only buy if you are 100% sure you will get many stacks.


III
主动
铜皮铁骨
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
附魔纹章
Great for spirit resist and Cooldown reduction is really rare so this is a great item since it gives you some.


II
战斗背心
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
武器防护
It's nice, but I just prefer to go Return Fire or Suppressor or rush Bullet Resilience early.


II
加强
冷却压缩
Imbue on 4. Builds into Superior CD.
