Reading the ledger…
← All heroes
Melee LifestealVery common buy. Great healing in lane from punching minions. And we can optionally upgrade this into Lifestrike for more sustain.
StalkerGreat damage and stats in lane and gives you move speed for chasing. The foostep sound reduction is also nice. And this gives you wallhacks from the DoT. This is also for the weapon investment bonus.
Sprint BootsMust buy for rotating around the map and ganking other lanes. Builds into Enduring Speed or Trophy Hunter. If not going Trophy Collector, get it after Spirit Snatch.
Trophy CollectorI think this is still mostly good. You can get Enduring Speed instead of this after Spirit Snatch if you prefer.
Spirit StrikeWe upgrade this to Spirit Snatch later. Adds to our burst and trades with our 2.
Cold FrontAdds to your burst damage, and the slow is great. We also can upgrade this into Arctic Blast.
Spirit SnatchHits your 4.8k spirit investment spike. Spirit resist and power steal is amazing. Plus even more melee damage and it procs on your 2.
Close QuartersNice for melee resist. If you want to kill minions and objectives, its as good as Monster Rounds. If you are planning to go more into gun, this builds into Point Blank for that.
Extra RegenGood item. Get if you need healing in lane. Typically better than Healing Rite for that.
GritYou could get this much earlier in lane instead. We're mainly getting it here to hit our 4.8k spike. If you went Dispel Magic earlier, you can skip this.
RebuttalGreat against Viscous in lane since it works against Viscous Puddle Punches. Also a very good item against people building melee (Abrams and Billy). Only buy if you can actually parry consistently.
Enduring SpeedGreat for move speed in fights and the slow resist. Lets you easily hit the second ult damage burst. You can get this instead of Trophy Collector, if so, buy it after Spirit Snatch.
LifestrikeBuffed! So much fun. Use off CD with heavy melee in lane for a 80+ health heal on a 4 sec CD. Lets you permafight/push in lane. Slow is super good as well.
Dispel MagicHits your 4.8k green investment. Must buy against Slowing Hex. Really great against a ton of characters.
Hunter's AuraGreat for 1v1s. Gets you your 4.8k weapon investment. You could also go Mystic Shot + Spirit Shredder Bullets here instead.
Torment PulseGreat damage over the course of a game/fight. Good for tankiness and farming. You could get this earlier instead of Spirit Snatch if you prefer.
Arctic BlastReally great item, great for catching people and for clearing waves in cat form.
Improved SpiritGood for damage, and builds into Boundless Spirit.
Boundless SpiritGives you some much needed damage in the late game with your ult and gloom bombs. Great if you are trying to oneshot their carries.
ScourgeCan swap for other things, not as strong as it used to be. Makes you really tanky and can do a lot of damage if you get into the middle of their team. Boundless is a good alternative here.
Superior CooldownCooldown reduction is really useful.
CounterspellGreat against certain characters and abilities. Especially Lash.
Spirit ResilienceIf you need anti-spirit. Very common buy although not absolutely necessary since we build many items that have spirit resist already. Always good.
Bullet ResilienceUsually just go Metal Skin instead. In worst case scenario you could get this. But something like Plated Armor or maybe Disarming Hex will likely just be better.
Metal SkinThis since it got buffed is actually kinda really good against some characters, especially Haze and Drifter. I'd get this as an alternative to Bullet Resilience or Plated Armor. Good with trans CD
FortitudeThe health is great for survivability, the move speed is great for rotating, and the heal lets you stay on the map longer. I prefer this over VW cause it works in the tunnels.
Veil WalkerNice for rotating around the map, ganking, escaping/survivability, and the heal is great. At the moment I don't like this too much since it doesn't work in the tunnels.
Enchanter's EmblemGreat for more spirit resist early. Cooldown reduction is really rare so this is a great item since it gives you some.
Reactive BarrierGreat item against hard CC. Scales well into the late game as well. You could get in lane even against some heroes.
Spirit ShieldingGreat against spirit damage. You can get in some lanes.
HealbaneEasy to proc anti-heal (good against Abrams, Victor, etc.). The heal on kill is also really great during midgame fights.
Restorative Locket8% spirit resist for 1.6k and the health and the stamina is really nice. I don't think you build this most games anymore with the nerf to it.
Debuff ReducerGood 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).
Silence WaveGood item. Very common buy. Silence is very good against many characters.
SuppressorGreat at stopping gun carries. Easy to proc and can proc on many people.
Slowing HexGood against Mina, and other movement focused people.
Mystic ShotPretty good. If you're getting 3 1.6k gun items to get your 4.8k spike then this would be one of them usually.
Spirit ShredderPretty good. If you're getting 3 1.6k gun items to get your 4.8k spike then this would be one of them usually.
Transcendent CooldownGreat item once you have 2 actives. It also makes Torment Pulse tick faster!
Spirit BurnAnti-heal + more burst damage. If you need to burst carries or need anti-heal this is really useful.
IndomitableVery nice, I usually always get if I bought a barrier item earlier in the game.
Ethereal ShiftGood, especially with Trans CD. Very good for surviving in fights and for countering certain ultimates.
ColossusMelee damadge and tankiness. Pick between this and Ethereal Shift for your last active slot.
Mystic VulnerabilityUpgrades into Escalating Exposure. Spirit shred is extremely useful.
Escalating ExposureThis with Scourge is good. You run into the middle of the enemy team with Scourge and this does work. Also has shred and gives you even more spirit resist so you're even tankier.
Crippling HeadshotBest item in the game for damage as it shreds resists so your entire team will do more damage. And anti-heal is so good.
TankbusterStill good.
UnstoppableReally great in late teamfights. Especially good if you are really struggling against CC. Or for midboss.
SpellbreakerIncredible against Lash, Grey Talon, and any other spirit burst characters.
JuggernautGreat against gun carries and is good to pick up if you have no free slots.
Plated ArmorGreat but usually only buy once you already have bullet resist. Great against Haze.
WitchmailKind of a meme item. Very situational. Only get against lots of incremental spirit damage (McGinnis turrets, Infernus, Warden Ult) and have Spirit Resilience already.
Siphon BulletsMight be quite nice against tanks if you've gone into more gun late game.
Cheat DeathIf you are actually like the only player on your team doing anything and you have like 65k souls you could get this.
Stamina Masteryfun item, good value, mmm mmmmovement. You could buy this in the mid game some time rather than getting resists perhaps.
Warp StoneGood for movement and the bullet resist is nice.
Magic CarpetFun and silly! Also good escape tool. Just worse to get than other 6ks though. Meme item.
Mercurial MagnumCan't combo as well with Spiritual Overflow anymore.
Cursed RelicIf you really need to screw over someone in particular.
Disarming HexAgainst a gun carry who is running the game.
Radiant RegenerationKind of fun, but not very good. Adds up to a decent amount of heal in longer fights since Torment Pulse and Scourge easily procs it.
KnockdownIf no one else on your team is going to buy this and you really need to stop a Vindicta/GT or Seven ult.
DecayI don't think this is really all that worth it compared to just getting Healbane. Since any person incredibly reliant on healing will just get Debuff Remover. But maybe get against Mo or Abrams.
Compress CooldownMore uptime on your 4.
Mystic SlowJust feels really nice, makes it super easy to hit your ults second/end damage burst.
Spirit SapBuilds into Focus Lens, easy to use and great for 1v1s. Makes your burst stronger.
Mystic BurstBad early since not much procs it anymore.
Phantom StrikeGood for shutting down fliers and gun carries. And for getting on top of the people you need to target in team fights.
Battle VestThe bullet resist and regen is great in lane. Later though you should just get Bullet Resilience. Also good for farming denizens.
Return FireGood against Graves and gun carries.
Weapon ShieldingIt's nice, usually the other shields are better though in most games.
Extra HealthYou can build this into Fortitude or Colossus. You can buy this during laning to help with survivability potentially.
Healing RiteNo point getting this because of T2 catform.
Focus LensIt's fine, good with your burst and the silence is nice.
Spiritual OverflowNerfed into the ground.
Lucky ShotGreat for damage and ammo, replaces Stalker.
Spirit RendGood late game upgrade for Spirit Shredder Bullets.
Cultist SacrificePossible item for your 4.8k Weapon Investment, but imo it's not that necessary on Calico.
Shadow WeaveI think the stats from this can be good. The invisibility is bugged with cat form I think though, so just be wary of that. Other items are usually always better.
Point BlankFeels pretty good. It is now fixed for your 2! Difficult on slots though. Good for melee resist if you need that.
FleetfootNot as good since the speed stacking nerf. I still like it though. Good for movespeed in ult and catform. Combine with a 3.2k weapon item to get your 4.8k investment spike.Melee LifestealAlways first item.

You can buy this during laning to help with survivability potentially.Healing RiteNo point getting this because of T2 catform.Focus LensIt's fine, good with your burst and the silence is nice.Spiritual OverflowNerfed into the ground.Lucky ShotGreat for damage and ammo, replaces Stalker.Spirit RendGood late game upgrade for Spirit Shredder Bullets.Cultist SacrificePossible item for your 4.8k Weapon Investment, but imo it's not that necessary on Calico.Shadow WeaveI think the stats from this can be good. The invisibility is bugged with cat form I think though, so just be wary of that. Other items are usually always better.Point BlankFeels pretty good. It is now fixed for your 2! Difficult on slots though. Good for melee resist if you need that.FleetfootNot as good since the speed stacking nerf. I still like it though. Good for movespeed in ult and catform. Combine with a 3.2k weapon item to get your 4.8k investment spike.2

Really good item overall especially for Calico (Good Buy against slows like Kelvin) |COULD REPLACE WITH TROPHY|Hunter's AuraProbably this instead of 2 T2 items(16% shred paired with stalker or 26% if alone) only problem with this item is people can know you are closeLane Situationals
RebuttalAgainst Abrams/Billy/Viscous or cheeky parry on sinners/buffs for guaranteed killTrophy Collectorif buying trophy get it instead of enduring and get it before ColdFrontHealing Ritemeh u have cat or ur absolute 1GritMid-Game Greens
Dispel MagicBetter than Couterspell because can remove Silence/Slowing Hex/root/stun and other things + Spirit Resist for selfCounterspellBlock big strong ults with some bonuses Take against Lash/Wraith/Talon/Rem/Apollo/Infernus/BebopBomb etc.Mid-Late
Arctic BlastPower Spike. Damage amp + easy way to put all bombs. Best uses: Clear waves in cat while ult CD// Use after slash to freeze enemy and bomb//Cancel enemy movement abilities & make flyers fallMystic Vulnerability8% more spirit shred so all spirit attacks do 8% more damage (skip with sap if getting FocusLens)Extra SpiritMore DMG but not shredImproved SpiritMore DMG but not shredCompress Cooldown78 sec UltTeam-Fights Path

Boundless SpiritPure damage buff, better than Surge of Power by pure damage but no movespeed (if buying Focus Lens get boundless after)Spirit BurnBest antiheal and little AOE dmg, easier push, not prio if have 1 or 2 in teamTranscendent CooldownCD reduction for ALL items (Torment/Snatch/Arctic/Barriers/Silence/Dispel/Counterspell/MetalSkin and so on)Ethereal ShiftNerf is REALLY big so item is not prio BUT still good vs silencesJuggernautGreat item overall as a late update to Enduring Speed, makes enemy gunners life harderCrippling Headshot16% SPIRIT RESIST combo now becomes 2 -> shoot -> Arctic -> 1 (throw bombs on feet) -> UltSpellbreakerAgainst Spirit Nukers + Debuffs, the best T4 green item *if enemy has spell breaker consider mystic shot to break spellbreaker so you use your combo afterIndomitableAuto counterspellCursed RelicAbility cancel + silence for items, good for teamfights/ duo kills.

Slowing HexBetter Silence Wave but against 1 specific ability, good against Shiv/WRAITH/MINA/Holiday/Sinclair/Rem/Apollo etc (use it After ColdFront/Arctic)Silence WaveSilence for 3s + 75 DMG Great against Pocket/Mina/Geist/Victor etc (Good scaling) could replace with Torment for massive burst DMGSituational Greens
Reactive BarrierThe best barrier item, if have 3+ enemies (or 2 on lane) who proc it with abilities - 100% buyDebuff ReducerHad to add this after the new 6 heores cuz they all have more than 1 type of CC pair this with Reactive and get Dispel or Counterspell or both laterSpirit ShieldingHealbaneAntiheal and self heal on kill, if possible - ask your often spirit dmg characters to get it (Mina/Yamato/Shiv)Enchanter's EmblemSpirit Power + CD + HP + RegenLifestrikeGood heals + move slow stacks with cold front move slow (cheapest item to get the 4.8K Green Spike) |Max Ult first if buying|FortitudeMore health, move speed, and heal while getting boxes after fight.
