Enchanter's Emblem

Buy this or any shielding of your choice that's appropriate for the comp you're against

~14 min

Tesla Bullets

Great item!! Great gun spike and pretty good spirit scaling, this makes your gun do decent damage early/mid

~14 min

Suppressor

Great if you're playing against a pure M1 lane

~16 min

Weapon Shielding

If you're getting gunned down / e.g. Haze/Venator/Rat King

~16 min

Spirit Shielding

My preferred shielding most games, good if you're getting nuked by spirit / e.g. Pocket/Doorman/Apollo

~17 min

Torment Pulse

Good damage for fights and farm, procs almost always given your gun's range

~18 min

Split Shot

Insane item on Graves, allows for faster farming/wave clearing and is great in burgerbox fights for Essence Theft. Great combo with Ricochet!!

~18 min

Surge of Power

4.8k Spirit spike + a lot of fire rate to apply Tesla/Toxic Bullets faster

~19 min

Healbane

You can buy this in lane if you're going against characters like Abrams, Geist and Rem, if not just buy Toxic Bullets

~19 min

Heroic Aura

Great resist for the entire team and nice fire rate/movement speed increase

~19 min

Spirit Lifesteal

Can buy earlier if you feel like you absolutely need the heal

~20 min

Mystic Vulnerability

Core item - Upgrades into Escalating Exposure later

~22 min

Superior Duration

Duration on Wall immobilize, ghoul and skulls slow and all other debuffs e.g. Toxic, Siphon, Escalating and Capacitor

~22 min

Reactive Barrier

If you're getting stunned frequently / e.g. Seven/Vindicta/Warden

~22 min

Escalating Resilience

More ammo and 30% Bullet Resistance, actually pretty good against M1s

~25 min

Capacitor

Great upgrade for damage and procs for Escalating + free Slowing Hex (if you can hit your shots)

~27 min

Spirit Resilience

Kinda needed in most cases around 30 mins

~28 min

Boundless Spirit

Lots of damage + healing + extra weapon damage steal

~29 min

Ricochet

Kinda OP if you're going full gun or hybrid, insane combo with Split Shot

~30 min

Leech

If you really really really need the heal, usually Spiritual Overflow + skulls will suffice

~30 min

Siphon Bullets

Super strong option against super high hp heroes and tanks like Abrams, Billy, Venator or even Apollo

~31 min

Transcendent Cooldown

I'd suggest if you have 3/4 active items, which you might have by now

~31 min

Escalating Exposure

Insane item, procs off of your entire kit and core items

~32 min

Spiritual Overflow

Good item in general thanks to the stats it gives

~33 min

Spirit Burn

Sell Healbane to buy this during mid/late game as a luxury upgrade

~34 min

Inhibitor

Amazing item!!! If you're going gun this is probably the best item to rush against 90% of comps

~35 min

Indomitable

Good resists and good scaling on the barrier, it saved my ass lots of times

~36 min

Silencer

Shuts down spirit characters, insanely good buy especially for burgerboxing

~37 min

Slowing Hex

Great against Mina, Apollo and Calico

Radiant Regeneration

Spirit Sap

Great against nukers like Pocket and Yamato

Greater Expansion

Works on Jar, Wall, Torment Pulse AND ghoul explosions + nice 10% resist

Disarming Hex

Good option to buy in the midgame to shut down those pesky M1s

Counterspell

Kind of a must buy against Lash + other easily reactable abilities/ults

Dispel Magic

This is always good against Mirage/Shiv/Fern and debuffs in general

Metal Skin

Haze is pretty strong right now, this helps

Vampiric Burst

Plated Armor

Finally effective against Mercurial Magnum and other passives, amazing item for prolonged fights, otherwise metal skin is generally better

Spellbreaker

Stops nukers (Calico, Mina, Pocket etc.) from, well, nuking you

Unstoppable

Kinda needed super mega late game with how much CC is in this game
