Author's notes

twitch.tv/BME_dl Updated this build for patch but I've mostly been playing a different build which is structured differently so I can't upkeep this as much

Items in buying order

#Citadel_HeroBuilds_LaneL-R gun items, buy the greens when needed
Restorative Shot 800Gun damage+healing+invest, sell when need slot
Close Quarters 800High damage 800 item
Stalker 1,600You usually wanna get this on your 3.2k so you have it with tier 2 charge, skip if very rare egg lane
Melee Charge 1,600Very strong burst with tier 2 charge and movement boost
Melee Lifesteal 80012% melee damage is a LOT for 800 souls, the healing is good, and it builds into Lifestrike
Extra Health 800This item is very efficient, builds into Fortitude, and makes Vents+Fruits more effective healing
Lane GreensoptionalSituationally useful
Rusted Barrel 800Very good laning item for dealing with Abrams' tougher lanes (M1s)
Extra Regen 800Hard lane, it no longer builds into booster so I can't say it's core
Grit 800Can buy this to "counterspell" burst in lane or to play aggro, or if you're getting reactive barrier
Reactive Barrier 1,600I buy indom a lot so this item is just nice to have especially if you need it vs CC early
Enchanter's Emblem 1,600If you need early Spirit Resist
Battle Vest 1,600If you need early Bullet Resist
Core ItemsCan L-R up to Hunter's Aura remember to buy greens
Bullet Resist Shredder 1,600Core shred item, can sell ultra late game after getting Hunter's Aura+Cfists
Fortitude 3,200I feel this item is important when playing to tempo like the current meta demands, and because there are so many box souls you can farm while healing
Hunter's Aura 3,200Can buy early if rich, OP item very good for melee, pretty decent in teamfights.
Superior Duration 3,200Makes your active abilities and items a lot better. Siphon, Charge, Ult, Unstop, Metal Skin, Colossus, etc. Easier to land wallstuns especially on new map
Debuff Reducer 1,600Debuff resist is just a very good stat in 99% of games
Crushing Fists 6,40010% additive resist shred with every heavy melee is very strong. Massive damage upgrade.
Usually only get 1
Weighted Shots 3,200I buy this very frequently because debuff resist is very important, the onhit is nice too. Less damage compared to PB
Point Blank 3,200More damage compared to Weighted and builds out of Close Quarters, so if you don't need debuff resist this item is good
Core UpgradesAnnotations
Healing Booster 1,600You have to buy this if you buy Lifestrike
Healing Tempo 6,400!THIS IS THE VERY LAST ITEM YOU SHOULD UPGRADE IN A GAME! You want to keep Healing Booster's effect late game so this is a natural upgrade
Unstoppable 6,400Pick 1 of Unstop/Spellbreaker when needed in your game. Usually this item is better.
Spellbreaker 6,400Debuff Resist and Spirit Resist are really strong
Surv Itemsoptional3.2k L-R by Priority, 6.4k L-R by Priority
Dispel Magic 3,200I feel like I shouldn't have to explain what this item is for, very good item
Counterspell 3,200Very strong item, prevents a lot of the same things Dispel Magic can and more. Remember you have the item.
Spirit Resilience 3,200Spirit Damage very scary
Warp Stone 3,200Lets you catch people, makes it harder to be caught, lets you dodge some abilities
Lifestrike 3,200This item is still solid and you can buy it if you want to
Metal Skin 3,200Usually better than buying bullet resilience
Colossus 6,400Big healthbar, lots of resist, lots of melee damage, an HMC, and an AOE slow
Indomitable 6,400Solid upgrade in some games for anti-pick and due to it shaving 74s off your ult CD if procced twice during the cooldown.
Plated Armor 6,400This item is better if you own bullet resist behind it, and is very strong against onhit effects.
Ethereal Shift 6,400Strong item for teamfighting or stalling if caught out so your team can show up or CDs refresh
Juggernaut 6,400Decent against slows and if your team doesn't have a Juggernaut yet its higher value
Divine Barrier 6,400Pocket is annoying
Util/DmgoptionalThink about Pstrike often
Slowing Hex 1,600For answering heroes like Calico Mirage GT early and securing kills
Silence Wave 3,200For answering heroes with defensive CDs like Pocket Viscous Geist Mirage
Knockdown 3,200I had one game in standard against a fed vin where she bought 0 greens and no one had this item so its here now
Cursed Relic 6,400Good late game, can guarantee your team kills One Guy or stop fed carries
Healbane 1,600Sometimes you need antiheal in a game and this is the cheapest option for it
Berserker 3,200The big damage stat stick, I don't think it's necessary and I want greens more often but can come up
Spirit Snatch 3,200Good if your team needs spirit shred or wanna 1shot people harder
Phantom Strike 6,400Good to rush after Hunter's Aura sometimes. Good for fliers/carries, also defensively against M1s because disarm
Niche Itemsoptional
Golden Goose Egg 800There are extreme circumstances where I think you have to buy this item because interacting with opp laners is inting. Like 1 in 200 games
Transcendent Cooldown 6,400Can be good late if have important active items
Refresher 6,400If you have ult max AP, but don't have it up to contest mid and your team died like noobs, break glass in case of emergency. Can be good for teamfighting too, Abrams ult is strong.
Witchmail 6,400Good very rarely in the late game against spirit comps but I feel like other items keep you alive better
Experiment Boxoptional
Rapid Rounds 800I think this item might be good for gun 4.8k if you skip resto in your lane for whatever reason
Hollow Point 3,200Chinese Item
Magic Carpet 6,400I haven't really tested this item much since adding it, but theoretically it's good when snowballing??? IDK
Imbuesoptional
on Siphon LifeCompress Cooldown 1,600imbue → Siphon Life
on Shoulder ChargeDuration Extender 1,600imbue → Shoulder ChargeCan imbue on Siphon Life instead if wanted
