Items in buying order

#Citadel_HeroBuilds_EarlyGameL->R Usually, try and buy alternatives if you need them
Headshot Booster 800Actually W lane item in ANY patch. Massive poke when combined with whip.
Extra Spirit 800sell order 99Cheap good spirit early on. You can buy burst instead aswell if you prefer but it can be tricky to hit 80 damage
Mystic Burst 800Burst is super nice early. You prefer to use this when you're whipping for extra heal, but any proc is damage.
on FlogQuicksilver Reload 1,600imbue → Flogsell order 97This item is still very solid early, but falls off after lane. It still pairs nicely with the gun items as it lets you reload and keep applying pressure. Sell if needed.
on FlogMystic Expansion 800imbue → FlogThis item really grew on me. Massive whip in lane allows you to pretty much never miss
Extra Charge 800I personally use my grapple a fuck ton in lane so I prio this early. You can sell this after reaching T3 Grapple
Mystic Shot 1,600This can be quite tricky to land consistantly, but if you wait until the knock-up from your slam, you basically get a free proc.
Headhunter 3,200This just upgrades off headshot booster, I am TIRED of talking about the 4.8k investment but this does give you it.
Alternativesoptional
Extra Regen 800sell order 99Still my personal favourite lane healing item. Buy this whenever you are dying in lane too hard.
Rebuttal 800Mr Parrylock Special
Slowing Hex 1,600Still my favourite item into Mina / Wraith / Vindicta. Stopping people from using movement abilities will absolutely get you a kill, especially if you notice these characters escaping stupid shit alot
Core (Mid Game)This is the time you should be ganking fights, but make sure to still do waves!!
Restorative Locket 1,600Main buy, I love the stamina you get from this. Replace with reactive / healbane / enchanters
Stamina Mastery 3,200Buy this whenever you feel you need it. I like to prioritise damage upgrades until i feel like i'm getting caught out a lot, though recently I've been buying it more often
Tankbuster 3,200Tankbuster is generally a really good buy, however buying it too early doesn't really give you that much more damage (as their health has not scaled much). Buy if no slots
Superior Cooldown 3,200This item is basically a must if you want sustained damage in teamfights. Cycling your abilities 20% faster is huge and will let you play a lot more agressive
Greater Expansion 3,200Struggling to land ults? This helps massively. You can absolutely go without it but it does give you a LOT more range on it.
Spirit Burn 6,400This item is STILL GOOD
Magic Carpet 6,400Unironically my favourite item for lash right now. -15% gravity means you can walljump at height limit PERMANENTLY, which means you can wait and hit a max distance slam EVERY TIME.
Refresher 6,400More lash ults = good. Core to being a strong lategame player, land those ults! Feel free to buy much earlier if you're having a rough game. Just pivot to being an ultbot and you'll be fine.
Alternativesoptional
Reactive Barrier 1,600Laning someone with stuns? Buy this. (Bebop / Abrams / Krill etc). Buy grit first if you are going down this
Healbane 1,600sell order 98Buy this into heavy healing
Enchanter's Emblem 1,600sell order 98Great item if both laners are spirit, or you see 4+ spirit characters in the tab menu.
Late Game ChoicesWhen you got crazy money (No specific order, buy judging by counters. Focus on ults, don't be scared to buy greens!)
Boundless Spirit 6,400With the new slam scaling, this is better. Gives consistant spirit power AND a percentile spirit boost. This also scales mystic shot quite massively, which is why I buy it over other spirit items
on Ground StrikeMystic Reverb 6,400imbue → Ground StrikeImbue on slam. Extra damage + slow is very potent and the lifesteal is actually really solid too. You can replace this item with the choices (if wanted)
Unstoppable 6,400"I keep getting stunned out of my ult by one guy and im really fucked off about it". PLEASE start buying this if you are getting stunned! I know it's not flashy but it is NECESSARY some games
Siphon Bullets 6,400Even though gun lash & greens got nerfed, this is still a very solid buy. If the enemy team has a lot of characters with high hp (4k+), you get crazy value
Crippling Headshot 6,400Lowers armours. Good if the enemy has a lot of resistances. Also gives you more gun spike, which is crazy rn
Focus Lens 6,400Simply better than curse for lash. This builds off Spirit Sap so I would upgrade that if you can. You can sell slowing hex for this if you still need anti (ability) movement lategame
Mercurial Magnum 6,400no target set · most builds: FlogIf you want an excuse to keep QSR but you need an upgrade for slots here it is. Imbue on 3.
No flex slotsoptional
Transcendent Cooldown 6,400This is okay, but mainly to fill flex slots. Unless you have more then one or two actives then feel free to delay buying this and invest into spikes
Rapid Recharge 3,200This isn't great. I'd only buy this if you really can't live with two grapples lategame or if you're REALLY cucked on flex slots
Anti-Spiritoptional
Spirit Resilience 3,200I actually think you can make an argument for this item now
Spellbreaker 6,400With the recent changes it makes sense to buy Spirit Resilience over this sometimes, but I generally prefer this overall because of the heavy debuff resist attached
Anti-Gunoptional
Metal Skin 3,200Goat anti-gun. Try not to use this when you're running because of the movespeed penalty, use it when you're stuck to the ground for any reason and there's a gun carry looking at you.
Plated Armor 6,400This item's alright, but i'd only buy it if a proc-based gun character is overfarmed (Haze, Infernus ETC.). Otherwise just get metal skin
Anti-CC + General SurvivabilityoptionalBUY THESE IF YOU'RE DYING (PLEASE)
Counterspell 3,200Amazing item for general use. If you are locked in enough to parry abilities buy it. if there's a lot of hard to parry debuffs just buy dispel magic
Warp Stone 3,200Glorpstone is still an incredible escape item, use it to teleport to rooftops when you're out of stamina when running / get behind cover.
Majestic Leap 3,200Still my favourite roaming tool after all these patches. This allows you to change lanes incredibly quickly, but sacrifices the survivability of glorpstone
Grit 800This is very good if you're already buying reactive
Trophy Collector 1,600This is good if you're REALLY stomping
Dispel Magic 3,200Insane Item. I sometimes prefer counterspell but if they're slowing hex'ing you or hitting you with capacitor, this is an absolute MUST buy. PLEASE buy this item if you need it
Indomitable 6,400I would really just buy unstoppable. I know a few people who prefer this but generally dispel magic / unstoppable covers me
Section 10
TESTINGoptionalSTOP LOOKING HERE!!!!!!!! (i usually leave anything annotated here, will probably be outdated!)
Spirit Snatch 3,200HEAVY MELEE + ULT SECRET LASH TECH
Recharging Rush 1,600I like this item a little more than mystic, the movement feels amazing and it just feels a lot more consistent with the map changes.
Spirit Shredder 1,600Instead of mystic
Alchemical Fire 3,200Metaslop
on FlogBallistic Enchantment 3,200imbue → FlogThis item gotta be good on whip, buffed too
Lucky Shot 6,400idk man add a billion damage
Silencer 6,400REMOVE abilities
Spirit Rend 3,200kinda crazy if they got a lot of resistance. Just keep headshotting
Juggernaut 6,400Actually incredibly good if you're winning. Makes diving in a lot less risky and you end up being a powerhouse if you get this + Remover
Cultist Sacrifice 3,200This is an alternative to Trophy collector. If you can't get stacks on trophy buy this. Gives you the health and movespeed but sacrifices the free souls
Sprint Boots 800Read trophy hunter. Only buy if you're running it
Spirit Lifesteal 1,600Builds into infuser
Debuff Reducer 1,600Builds into spellbreaker
Extra Stamina 800stamina type shit (upgrades into stamina mastery)
Cold Front 1,600Still good. It can feel like it's doing nothing sometimes but when you start landing it multiple times you'll be thankful you have it. Slam -> Cold Front -> Whip is your combo
on Death SlamCompress Cooldown 1,600imbue → Death SlamImbue whatever you use most. 1, 2, 3, and 4 all valid
Toxic Bullets 3,200There was a time where I would run this over headhunter, but I find that the nerfs were pretty brutal to it
Bullet Resilience 3,200Metal skin is better
Cursed Relic 6,400Fun item. Buy if one person is really pissing you off or you really just dont like someone that day
Infuser 6,400Still very strong for healing. Hit this button then slam and whip and you are full HP.
Arctic Blast 6,400Really nice item for followups. Locks them in place so with your slam -> whip -> Arctic combo you can get most people killed in a teamfight.
Fortitude 3,200This item is actually fine now but I want to take a moment out of my time to realise that I have been updating this build for months but it was on the wrong one.. oops..
Silence Wave 3,200Doesnt build from sap anymore, going in the bin unless you really like silence wave
Spellslinger 6,400The lash gun meta is real and you cant deny its presence. Buy this if they dont have resistances (unlikely) and crippling isnt your thing
Spirit Sap 1,600If you're laning early and you see both laners buy resist, this is worth getting. This also builds into Focus Lens now, which makes it very viable to keep into lategame, because lens is good :)
