I generally start with Monster Rounds, then either Extra Regen or Extra Spirit depending on what I think the lane needs, with healing Rite if my lane partner needs it.
1) Recommended
For counter pushing in lane
I just really love sliding.
Be wary about early turret spam, as they always give souls now without the brief immortal period
1) More Regen
Necessary for lane sustain now we don't have bullet resist. Also good for Healing Tempo prep
This can activate Healing Tempo hehehe
Extra regen discount makes this a decent lane item
1) Others
加强
Having to imbue makes this item very niche, but sniper turrets are pretty neat
Is THIS the secret to keeping Infernus and other pokers off your back?? Need more data!
Sometimes ya just gotta brawl it out.

In this current patch, gun carries building fire rate are very powerful, so I recommend Suppressor over Mystic Slow if you're facing off against one or more of them.
2) Turret Prep
Great lane finisher, sell later to make room for something situational
加强
Imbue on turrets
Hold 'em down, hold 'em down
2) Countering
If the enemy team has a lot of sustain (e.g. Abrams, Infernus, Mo & Krill), you'll want this and Inhibitor.
I just really hate infernus and abrams lol
2) Movement
Anti-Kelvin countering, upgrades into anti-gun countering
funni budget toxic bullets

Use turrets to establish backline fire support for team fights, defend against Walker aggression, or siege objectives. Healing Tempo will greatly boost turret and teammate damage. Get Echo Shard if you can afford it, other wise just S.Cooldown and Healing Tempo will suffice, then move on to 4.
3) Turret Core
Get this first to dispell the imbuing
This item is, honestly, overpowered regardless of what you're building.
Doesn't give cooldown, sadly, but still great combo with Healing Tempo and Boundless Spirit
3) Core Finishers
Since Wall tends to be maxxed last, buying this to put Stun on Barrage is very useful.
Toss out a turret to benefit from Healing Tempo
Just a Spirit topper now, still good for Specter boosting
加强
It's so expensive it's hard to justify buying late game :(
4)
Once the majority of your CORE is finished, decide what kind of role you want to play and look to these categories to build them out. Currently I'm getting Heroic Aura and Juggernaut/Return Fire cuz of how much gun there is this patch.
4) Tank Core
This annd Bullet Resilience are all you're gonna need for bullet resist
For Rejuv punching and Lash/other CC countering
4) Support Core
Get this to undo the imbuing earlier, very important for specter boosting
Passive applies to troopers, turrets, and ally heroes. Very useful.
In case of specter deniers or just to push waves
4) Damage Core
Resist debuff instead of spirit amp makes this a great support item
We go hard on spirit damage this game
Counters
Need more healing reduction
Interrupts powerful channelers or flyers
Can be used to juke Lash ults, otherwise useful to supercharge your spirit at the start of an ult-heavy teamfight
Now that the spirit reduction doesn't have a cooldown, this is a great support gun item.
Get this to impede hyper carries
A toggle to dramatically reduce debuffs
EGO and Current Experiments
Find me on the Deadlock discord, I'm a regular in #mcginnis. I also stream on twitch.tv/zippydasquirrel. Below are items I've been experimenting with lately.
