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
主动
裂光射击
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
加速回复
[OPTIONAL] Buy if lane feels hard.


II
战斗背心
If you're going for Cultist Sacrifice, ignore this item. Otherwise, it pairs nicely with Hollow Point later on.


II
疾速不怠
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
主动
轻盈飞步
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
疾速射击
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
加强
魔力装填
Less reloading = more time dealing damage.


III
空尖弹
Even more damage, even more nuking.


III
健步疾射
Even more damage, even more nuking.


II
子弹回复
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.
These are either A) more power, or B) counters to avoid being oblitered off the face of the Earth.


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


III
主动
减益消除
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
主动
传送石
Powerful evasion plus bullet resist.


III
主动
铜皮铁骨
Hard counter to gun, but makes you slower. User discretion is advised, but no damage is no damage.


IV
破阵之势
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
跑酷大师
General survivability item, though I'd strongly advise getting something more specific if the match allows for it.


IV
主动
巨人
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
主动
幻影突袭
This could be funny but I haven't tested it yet. If you're brave, test it out.


IV
跳弹射击
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
加强
水银重弹
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
疾跑靴
Buy these two (Sprint Boots and Monster Rounds) after High-Velocity Rounds.


I
猎怪弹
After this, buy shielding, then Cultist Sacrifice. This maximizes health/health regen without selling items later.


III
主动
特异供奉
Consider buying this after Express Shot if you think you won't be able to make use of these buffs. Otherwise, full send.
