You don't have to buy things in exact order, adapt to the situation and ruin their day

800Extra Spirit800 âmes800Mystic Burst800 âmes1.6kTrophy Collector1.6k âmestrophy collector :).1.6kQuicksilver Reload1.6k âmessell later if you have no slots.1.6kImproved Spirit1.6k âmes800Extra Charge800 âmesIf you're full on slots and you don't mind skipping T3 flog upgrade you can sell that and upgrade grapple to T3.1.6kMystic Shot1.6k âmesnerf this fuckass item yoshi, please.800Extra Stamina800 âmes3.2kStamina Mastery3.2k âmesyou can grab that before superior cooldown if you want the green 4.8k investment bonus.1.6kCold Front1.6k âmesI don't really build cold front anymore, but it's still a decent item early.

big dummy losing lane

800Healing Rite800 âmesusually rushing extra spirit+extra regen is a much better play since you won't be forced to hide away in the corner, but sometimes you need that quick boost of heal.1.6kEnchanter's Emblem1.6k âmesGood againts spirit damage plus it also gives you sweet bonuses for staying above 65% HP.800Extra Regen800 âmesReally nice item for sustain in lane, i often pick it up as my first item, probably don't skip it or don't buy sprint boots HAAKONS >:(.800Monster Rounds800 âmesIf you're struggling to push lane or if you know it'll be tough you can grab this.800Restorative Shot800 âmesPretty consistent way to heal during lane. Improved spirit+spring boots+extra regen should be enough, but if you need more you can pick this up.800Grit800 âmescould be good in case they've got a lot of damage in lane, then you can either upgrade it or sell.

After lane, everything up to expansion core.

Buy in any order you want, whatever is needed more buy it first. Scroll down for tips. Everything up to expansion core, but you can buy out of order. Scroll to see why i removed trophy from the build.

3.2kBallistic Enchantment3.2k âmesGood item, gets you investment for gun if you get mystic.1.6kCompress Cooldown1.6k âmesImbue it on your 2, since it's your main way of getting around having it be 17s cooldown is HUGE.800Mystic Expansion800 âmesyou can skip this if no slots, trophy will provide you with plenty range later but it's nice to have if you're not slot locked. If you buy ballistic you have to go back and buy it again.3.2kSuperior Cooldown3.2k âmes3.2kTankbuster3.2k âmesYou can get boundless spirit earlier if they don't have big HP pools since this item scales off of HP. Around 2.5k HP, heroes like abrams, mo&krill, bebop you should buy this before CD and range.6.4kSpirit Burn6.4k âmesPick either this or reverb for anti heal/more damage, if you're getting hard countered go unstop and refresher.6.4kMystic Reverb6.4k âmes3.2kGreater Expansion3.2k âmes6.4kBoundless Spirit6.4k âmesNeeded with current healthpools. If you need anti heal you can buy healbane, but if you have enough money rushing spirit burn is not a bad idea.

Armours

Upgrades to top off your damage

6.4kArctic Blast6.4k âmesCan buy this earlier against more mobile characters, especially vyper, slam into her then wait until she starts sliding again and use artic blast to break her out of it.6.4kMagic Carpet6.4k âmesmagic carpet. It's actually so good for lash, if you have slots and want superb movement you should get carpet.3.2kRapid Recharge3.2k âmesGetting it faster isn't terrible right now. I usually don't get it up until late game but if you've got damage already more mobility is good to have.3.2kMajestic Leap3.2k âmesThis or warpstone, but warpstone is better.3.2kWarp Stone3.2k âmesIt's honestly a much better option after all the leap nerfs.6.4kFocus Lens6.4k âmesyou can pick it up instead of spirit burn if you want more focused damage/you've got no slots.6.4kRefresher6.4k âmesUsually not that useful, but getting it once enemy is at your base you can quickly buy it to use your ult twice.6.4kUnstoppable6.4k âmesBuy this if abrams or mo buys phantom punch or if there are one too many knockdowns, you use it before popping an ult and you're safe.6.4kCursed Relic6.4k âmesMainly used against victor, but you can pick it up to shut down REALLY annoying heroes.6.4kTranscendent Cooldown6.4k âmesOnly really buy if you have more actives.6.4kVortex Web6.4k âmesUse before ulting and as it's falling down start your ult. Get this if you want big ults (4-6 man) with people getting stuck it's hard to get more than 3 people without vortex web.3.2kHeadhunter3.2k âmesYou can get ballistic enchantment over this if you want more range on your 1.1.6kRecharging Rush1.6k âmesI don't really build it anymore, but recharging plus headhunter is still a really strong combo so if you want you can get it.6.4kSiphon Bullets6.4k âmesreally good for survival and damage on tanks.6.4kSpellslinger6.4k âmesjust more damage especially if you have actives.6.4kCrippling Headshot6.4k âmesReduces their spirit resist before you ground strike.3.2kAlchemical Fire3.2k âmesreally good for urn fights, gives constant spirit damage plus it reduces bullet resist, really strong this meta.
