Items in buying order
Restorative Shot 800This lovely item helps our Lane Sustain, & and it pairs great with our Headhunter! ( Later into the trial, we shall replace this item )
High-Velocity Rounds 800This item keeps our damage pretty decent until we can get our Headhunter online! ( We can also just rush our Headhunter if we're getting early kills )
Headhunter 3,200I still like this item, but I would only really recommend it if we're often dueling in close range! ( I often do )
Opening Rounds 1,600This item gives us some Opening Burst Damage that helps us against Enemy Players / NPCs! ( Replaced during Late Game+ )
Battle Vest 1,600Amazing item that just helps us in every single trial! ( If needed, this item CAN BE replaced during Late Game+ )
Stamina Mastery 3,200This item makes it really hard for the Enemy Player(s) to lock us down into CC Jail! ( This Slot is open to any other Vitality Tier 3 )
Express Shot 3,200Expresso Shot, so compy! >.< ( Acquired, After / Before our Vitality Tier 3 of our choice )
Sharpshooter 3,200This item has some good synergy with our Kinetic Carbine, & it helps us secure kills from Low HP Fleeing enemies!
Compress Cooldown 1,600imbue → Kinetic CarbineCompress Cooldown Imbues onto our Kinetic Carbine / Paradoxical Swap! ( Both are great options )
Mystic Reverb 6,400imbue → Kinetic CarbineFor our Carbine Maxxing endeavors, and it also gives us a pretty decent Burst Heal!
Superior Cooldown 3,200More cooldown, so compy! ( Acquire whenever needed )
Tankbuster 3,200This item helps us actually confirm our Picks we get during Solo MM! ( If we have teammates who are confirming our Picks for us, we can opt for more utility )
Spirit Burn 6,400This item gives us some decent Burst Damage, DoT, & some absurd Anti-Heal! ( This brings us to the conclusion of our Core items )
Cursed Relic 6,400Amazing item, but if our target has Indomitable, we may need to get a item to pop their indom first! ( Silence Wave tis a very good option )
Transcendent Cooldown 6,400This Item Upgrade is a huge Power Spike for our Abilities / Active + Passive Items!
Counterspell 3,200We love iFrames, this item helps us against Auto Aim abilities / Items! ( Also, this item CAN BE RUSHED at 8k+ Doubloons if needed )
Extra Regen 800This item solves the fact that Paradox quite literally only has ONE Health Regen...
Weakening Headshot 1,600This item helps us nullify against Bullet Resist purchases + we Shred most NPCs!
Mystic Shot 1,600Mystic Shot is fixed, thus consequently, it's quite good again! ( yippee ) ( This item CAN replace our Headhunter for our Core, but our Acquire Order needs changed to best do so )
Hollow Point 3,200Amazing item to increase our Gun / Carbine Damage, & and it comes with Shred too!
Alchemical Fire 3,200The Blender gains a companion! ( Blender = Pulse Grenade )
Crippling Headshot 6,400This item is a Jack of All Trades, it's good for every trial!
Glass Cannon 6,400This item is basically for, " All In " Kinetic Carbine Build Pathing! ( It's very good for Late Game+ )
Silencer 6,400If the enemy team comp can be screwed over by being Silenced, this item is amazing for Late Game+ ( This item will also pop their Indomitable )
Extra Health 800If we so wish for a Health Bump, or we're planning on building into our Fortitude this trial!
Rebuttal 800Amazing item into Melee Playstyle players!
Healbane 1,600If our teamamtes are NOT buying Healbane, this item is really good! ( If our teammates have Healbane, their Healbane can overwrite ours, which means we will not get the Health on Kill )
Trophy Collector 1,600I don't really care for this item, but it's here for my fellow Dox Enjoyers whom enjoy it!
Reactive Barrier 1,600If we're being CC Slopped to death, this item MAY be our friend! ( It also pops off of Silences )
Spirit Shielding 1,600If we're being destroyed by Spirit Burst Damage, this item is our friend!
Weapon Shielding 1,600If we're being destroyed by Pure Gun / Melee Damage, this item is our friend! ( If it's Hybrid Gun Damage, think about getting Disarming Hex instead )
Spirit Resilience 3,200This item helps us soak up Spirit Damage that cannot be dodged / has no cooldown. ( Insanely good item )
Fortitude 3,200This item isn't bad on the New Map, but there are plenty of ways to heal now! ( Steam Vents / Healing Bats / Healing Candle Troopers )
Veil Walker 3,200Roleplay as Haze, this item is quite good on the newest map! ( It also pops off of Friendly / Enemy Violet ults )
Warp Stone 3,200Versatile item that helps us in Offense / Defense!
Dispel Magic 3,200Useful against Build-Up Effects / DoTs. ( Not purchased often, but if we're against a problematic Infernus / Mirage... )
Metal Skin 3,200Useful against Pure Gun M1 Damage. ( This item is not great against Hybrid M1 Damage, because it does not block the incoming Spirit Damage )
Cheat Death 6,400Thanos item for Late Game survivability!
Indomitable 6,400Good item, but it's popped really easily. ( However, If we need to stack our CC Immunity, tis a really good option for doing so )
Plated Armor 6,400Good against On-Hit Bullet Effects. ( Also decent against Gun Damage, but Metal Skin is better tailored for that )
Spellbreaker 6,400This item is useful against heavy Spirit Nuke Damage. ( It's even more useful if the Spirit Nuke in question is super ahead )
Diviner's Kevlar 6,400Survivability + Utility option for Late Game+ ( Lowkey compy )
Phantom Strike 6,400This item counters Indomitable, and it's one of the best CCs in the game! ( AMAZING against Celeste / Vindicta )
Infuser 6,400Sustain option for Late Game+ ( Pairs great with with our Alchemical Fire )
Unstoppable 6,400If we're enduring CC Lock, this item is our friend...
Divine Barrier 6,400Amazing item for Late Game, but If you have a Fed Teammate that you wish to support, this item CAN BE rushed. ( Acquire If needed )
Slowing Hex 1,600Shuts down so many heroes, amazing item! ( Acquire If needed )
Superior Duration 3,200Very good item, but I have been stepping away from it for now! ( Duration Extender imbues onto our Pulse Grenade )
Disarming Hex 3,200This item is quite literally Thanos with ALL of the Infinity Stones... ( Acquire if needed )
Silence Wave 3,200This item pops their Indomitable, acquire if needed!
Knockdown 3,200*BONK*
Ethereal Shift 6,400If we're being Hate Crime'd by some type of Gimmick in Late Game, this item is quite nice!Ability order
