Early Situationalsoptional

Hunter's Aura 3,200ITS GOOD

Cold Front 1,600BUY ME

Spirit Snatch 3,200GOOD

Arctic Blast 6,400Really great item, great for catching people and for clearing waves in cat form. The combo with it is Arctic Blast, 2 immediately so the AB travels with you, light punch, 1, 4.

Early-Mid CoreLEFT TO RIGHT

Scourge 6,400Usually after Arctic Blast. Makes you really tanky and can do a lot of damage if you get into the middle of their team. You can rush earlier if you feel it would be good or have the money.

Mystic Vulnerability 1,600VERY GOOD AFTER SPIRIT STRIKE ONCE U HAVE AN EXTRA SLOT

Escalating Exposure 6,400This with Scourge is insane. You run into the middle of the enemy team with Scourge and they take like 2-4k damage. Also has shred and gives you even more spirit resist so you're even tankier.

Spirit Burn 6,40070% HEAL REDUCTION WTF I GET THIS PRETTY EARLY VS REM/SILVER SOMETIMES BUT MAYBE HEALBANE IS ENOUGH IDK

Mid-LateGET WHAT U NEED

Ethereal Shift 6,400They doubled the CD on it so it's way worse, still might be good though on Calico. Helps you live much longer. Great with Transcendent CD. You can skip for more damage if you're not dying.

Transcendent Cooldown 6,400YEA ITS GOOD

Infuser 6,400THIS IS SO CRAZY WITH SCOURGE + EE

Fortitude 3,200IF BY THE GRACE OF GOD YOU DONT NEED DISPEL I GUESS U CAN BUY THIS

Spirit Resilience 3,200IDK JUST BUY DISPEL

Bullet Resilience 3,200For bullet resist. If it's early, probably just go Battle Vest instead though. If it's late and you've got Transcendent Cooldown I would just go Metal Skin instead.

Suppressor 1,600Great at stopping gun carries. Easy to proc and can proc on many people.

Debuff Reducer 1,600Good if you need debuff reduction and are going to build Spellbreaker later (good if they have heavy spirit burst such as Grey Talon or Lash).

Point Blank 3,200

Melee Charge 1,600

Phantom Strike 6,400Good for shutting down fliers and gun carries. And for getting on top of the people you need to target in team fights.
