Melee LifestealRend > Heal > Repeat.
Extra SpiritSince this build is a spirit-gun hybrid, we will be focusing on both.
StalkerKey item for Drifter early game.
Cold FrontTeleport behind > 1 > Cold font
Spirit StrikeMore damage with your Rend.
Spirit SnatchOnce you have fully upgraded your first ability, you deal heavy melee damage. So with Spirit Snatch, every time your use your 1, you will steal your opponent's spirit resist and power. TLDR: More dmg.
Veil Walker
HealbanePick almost everytime. Unless you are not having trouble getting kills.
LifestrikeReally good on melee heroes now.
FortitudeIf you feel like you need more health. If not, then skip this.
Rebuttal
Burst FireHuge fire rate increase. Land a single shot on the enemy and go brrrrrr.
TankbusterMore damage for your 1.
Hunter's AuraHuge for catching solo targets off guard. Pop your Ult and watch the magic.
LeechGet lifesteal from your weapon as well as your abilities. You can go for Vampiric Burst, but that 5s duration is not enough.
Arctic BlastHuge damage+Freeze.
Superior DurationThis increases the duration of the Silence of your T3 Rend, Shadow Weave invis, Stalker's Mark, and your Ult.
Dispel Magic
Warp StoneFor escaping and chasing.
Metal SkinFor bullet heavy opponents like Haze, Venator, Vyper, etc.
Spirit ResilienceFor Spirit Heavy opponents like Mina, Dynamo, Paige, etc.
Shadow WeaveOP now.
Boundless SpiritGreat increases the damage of your spirit based abilities. You are guaranteed to procc SB with your Rend.
Mystic ReverbReally important for proccing Spirit Burn with a single Rend. Also you get lifesteal and slow your enemies by 40%.
Spirit BurnSell Healbane if you are getting this.
SilencerSILENCE THEM ALL! Sell Shadow Weave if you are getting this.
Crippling HeadshotLiterally cripple them with a single shot.
Lucky ShotInsane damage increase. Key Item.
Cursed Relic
IndomitableIf you are constantly getting slowed, stunned, or being put to sleep. Get this mid game if you have to.
JuggernautIf you have overabundance of souls.
WitchmailWhat are we even doing at this point? XD
Crushing Fists
Spiritual OverflowInsane fire rate when stacked with Burst Fire.
Siphon Bullets
Silence Wave
Ethereal Shift
Scourge
Escalating Exposure
Unstoppable
Stamina Mastery
Counterspell
Spirit Shielding
Phantom Strike
Focus Lens
Ricochet
Vampiric BurstActivate this before jump in any fight. Makes Drifter a Tank.
Weighted ShotsWeighted Shots is peak for every gun build at the moment. Sell for high tier purple items.
Mystic BurstWe will be mixing spirit with gun since only gun on Drifter is not that good any more.
FrenzyFor ultra late game. That 40% extra fire rate and 4 m/s movement speed paired with your ult makes you the fastest character in the match. You will even melt max hp opponents in seconds.
