Author's notes

10/8 update: Small build change to incorporate trophy again as objective damage being gutted makes active play early the move. Twitch.tv/RAIGEKl Feel free to ask me any questions on the Sinclair discord @RAIGEKI

Items in buying order

#Citadel_HeroBuilds_EarlyGameDon't throw your lane before you get to T2 assistant, once you get T2 assistant you can pressure hard and usually force their guardian.

High-Velocity Rounds 800Probably the best item in Deadlock

Opening Rounds 1,600Good stats, makes our gun really strong lane poke, gun spikes later with weave

Extra Charge 800Try to save both bolt charges in lane for when assistant is up.

Improved Spirit 1,600Spirit good

Rapid Recharge 3,200Spirit spike timed with 3ap on bolt, if lane is still going at this point you should be able to force guardian.

Trophy Collector 1,600With walker damage being gutted playing active early is the move again. I usually buy this here to time with when I hit T3 bolt but you want to make sure you have this for first rift fight.

Enchanter's Emblem 1,600Spirit good

Shadow Weave 3,200Veil walker is nerfed and new map has less veils so I think this item is better now. Hitting rabbits from invis is way easier and the ambush buff in tandem with rabbit amp lets you solo kill people.

If dying too much consider one of these.optional

Dispel Magic 3,200Most often defensive buy. Slowing hex is very popular right now and this with assistant up makes you almost immortal.

Warp Stone 3,200All around good survivability item and enables a lot of stolen ults. Usually buy vs pocket / dynamo

Metal Skin 3,200Best anti gun item in the game. Buy if you need it to channel seven / dynamo ult or if you're getting ran down by drifter / haze / silver

Counterspell 3,200Really good in specific matchups. I buy this vs Drifter most often so his ult doesn't cc me for 12 seconds.

Core ItemsUsually this order, don't fight with a giant bag hard saving for carpet like a noob. Trans cd should always be last.

Greater Expansion 3,200Makes everything easier to hit and makes almost every ult better. Now that we're permafighting we usually want this before carpet.

Magic Carpet 6,400Legit the do everything item, lets you be anywhere on the map, force lanes in without fear, and enable some ults better than any other item. Use shadow weave while channeling and be the invisible UAV.

Superior Duration 3,200Works with rabbit, our items, and almost every ult we steal.

Boundless Spirit 6,400Giga damage increase to everything.

Superior Cooldown 3,200More of our OP buttons now that all the important ones are leveled

Transcendent Cooldown 6,400More buttons, more carpets, more invis, max spirit invest

AP order always starts 221114433, after this max ult or rabbit based on the lobb

Lategame UtilityoptionalBuy off vibes, if you don't know what to buy kevlar and DB are always good.

Vortex Web 6,400If you bought shex you can upgrade to this, really strong initiation item from invis.

Echo Shard 6,400imbue → Rabbit HexMuch worse with the recent nerf imo, still obviously strong against grounded teams but I don't really buy this very often.

Scourge 6,400Throw on largest monkey and farm damage, really strong with how much spirit power / duration / range we get

Cursed Relic 6,400If you're a weak minded loser you can buy this. I've literally never bought it but its here because it is good. Makes you an insane catch hero with carpet and weave.

Diviner's Kevlar 6,400Always a solid item after you hit max spirit investment if you don't know what else to buy.

Divine Barrier 6,400OP item, makes you even more untouchable and lets you save teammates too

Full Bolt DamageoptionalIf your team lacks damage you can start buying these instead of carpet / cdr / duration

Mystic Reverb 6,400imbue → Vexing BoltStand 4 meters behind assistant and both your bolts will hit at the same time making this do 2x dmg

Spirit Burn 6,400If they have tons of healing

Tankbuster 3,200Bad on this hero but enables reverb / spirit burn

Mystic Vulnerability 1,600

Escalating Exposure 6,400Should always be the last one of these items you buy unless you're stealing seven ult every fight

Situationalsoptional

Extra Regen 800If needed for lane

Extra Health 800If you bought regen for lane you can scoop this at some point for green spike.

Healbane 1,600Not my job but sometimes antiheal is really important

Reactive Barrier 1,600Good if the only way you die is getting 100-0d in a disable

Unstoppable 6,400Only consider this item if you're stealing dynamo / seven ult every fight and are against a lot of interupts.

Indomitable 6,400Good if the only way they kill you is with catch heroes / curses. Good against bebop so he can't hook you out of the sky while hyper beaming.
