Winning build in All Ranks · Last 30 days
The in-game build browser ranks by favorites — popularity, not performance. These are the most-played published Holliday builds ranked by the real win rate of matches that started with them (conservative 95% bound), with stale pre-patch builds flagged.
Extra SpiritTry to hit a barrel every wave on both them and lane creeps, since burst procs on both.
Extra ChargeJump and melee your barrels to make them explode on impact
Improved SpiritIf you have 1.3k souls or more just save for Rapid then come back to this
Rapid RechargePlay around your charges. Try to keep a couple up even when farming encase a fight breaks out. If you know there's about to be a fight save your charges
Mystic ShotIf you can't aim or don't like this item it's fine to skip in full. I tend to skip if I am poor
Restorative LocketStupid and broken item. Good into ability spammers like Celeste. If you don't like it or can't pilot it just go any of the other T2 greens in Lane Options
Veil WalkerThis item is insanely good on this hero. If you don't know how to pilot it you don't have to buy it, but if you do or want to learn it.
Recharging RushIf you're running throw a barrel behind you after you hit a pad. The enemy will always chase on the pad so it's very easy to hit also you will get +2 movement speed for running.
Stamina MasteryA lot of people crutch this item, don't become them. Jump and then immediately diagonal air dash for quick movement
TankbusterThis item does a lot of damage but keep in mind it does current hp damage so it's not that good early in the game. Also you can bounce pad in Doorman ult
Superior DurationBetter now because of barrel burn
Spirit BurnThis is if you're ahead early like you should be on Holiday. If you're not, just go curse and skip Spirit Burn and Escalating
Restorative ShotBuy into active lanes
Reactive BarrierBebop, Abrams, or lots of CC. This is a very good item if the enemy comp is high cc
Rusted BarrelThey keep buffign this already op item. Buy into double M1 lane or M1 and support lane
RebuttalAmazing anti melee. Good for the base melee res and hp alone
Headshot BoosterGood into Seven and Krill. If you have good aim you can buy this in lane into anyone, but I'm a coach so my aim is awful
Slowing HexSuper OP if they have dashes buy it.
Monster RoundsIf you need wave clear
Enchanter's EmblemCDR and regen. Don't be afriad to crackshot lane creeps for clear speed, not being able to headshot waves really slows down your push
HealbaneThis item is really good when ahead for early rifts. It just gives you so much hp. Also great for the anti heal
Trophy CollectorRESTO LOCKET IS BETTER. This Item just fits my playstyle more as I play a lot of Calico too
Guardian WardIf you are going DB
Spirit ShieldingNice into a lot of spirirt burst
Superior CooldownYou can buy this sooner if you need but Holiday wants to look for pics in enemy jg more then farm which is where this item excells early
Escalating ExposureIf you're behind just go to a support pivot/curse
Transcendent CooldownDoesn't work for Tankbuster.
Boundless SpiritDamage. You can look down and place a pad to fly right away. This is good after something like Lash ult
CounterspellYamato, Drifter, Pocket or really anything you can read. It is very easy to coutnerspell drifter ult if you're trying to. WIth stun on your 2 you can down dash and counterspell to cancel Dynamo ult
Dispel MagicInto not ult debuffs. Great if you're getting knockdowned. If you're against kidnap doorman, despelling cart makes that build cosmetic
Divine BarrierThis is great for late game as your barrels kinda fall off and support is over powered. Buy sooner into Pocket
Metal SkinThis item is good into gun burst like Haze or Vyper
KnockdownSeven, Bebop, Vin, GT, Lash. Buy for any of these, this item is super good
Warp StoneGood for momement with lasso and getting stuns off your 2. If you warp at the end of a lassso it will slingshot them.
Silence WaveItem is op Good for indoms or just the cc value
Disarming HexGood into fed gun heroes that don't have a dispell
Cursed RelicThis item is insanley good. Don't forget you can use it to cancel Dynamo mid ult or take off any non ultimate buffs like a bridge buff or Seven's Power Surge
Ethereal ShiftGood item for living into things like wraith ult or lash ult
Mercurial MagnumLots of damage on your gun and stacks escalating
ScourgeIf the enemy team is hard spirit, put this on your frontline
Plated ArmorGun/On hits
SpellbreakerGT, Lash, or any kind of spirit burst. This works on Vin snipe
IndomitableIf they have a lot of smaller but impactful cc like Bebop, Lash, Krill, Ect.
JuggernautIf they have firerate based damage that isn't on hits
Compress CooldownImbue lasso if it's on cd. Just here so it doesn't pop up asking what you want to imbue

Headshot BoosterLevel 1 Crackshot with this is very good poke. This is the best early poke item you get on Holliday
Extra ChargeGood for more poke and trades
Extra HealthExtra HP cuz holliday is squishy asf
HeadhunterHEADSHOT HEADSHOT HEADSHOT. Crackshot T2 is insane with this early
Swift StrikerEarly fire rate that goes a long way, helps u farm faster as well. Really good item the goat
Extended MagazineIts a good early buy to keep the poke pressure without running out of ammo + gives you small weapon damage
Bullet Resist ShredderBuilds into spirit spike, more gun damage and shred. 4.8k spirit is important because you dont have enough gun damage early and this helps you get fed towards gun
Surge of PowerInsane value for the fire rate and extra barrel damage to finish kills off. Your Crackshot scales off spirit so you deal more headshot damage. Dont skip spirit spike!
Extra RegenThis is more consistent early healing than any option. Heals u well when you do box routes!
Healing RiteWhen you are so low buy this instead of going back to base
Monster RoundsAlways buy this if you are getting pushed too hard and need to push back and clear waves
SharpshooterOP asf this early. Position urself outside of fights (flank or backline) If you get close you are gonna die. Let the frontline do their job and you do yours by kiting
FortitudeHelps you a lot to make u less squishy. Gives you lots of healing and movement speed between urn/rift fights
Stamina MasteryThis item alone saved me so many times. Its very good for positioning and your movement feels bad without it
Titanic MagazineDont disrespect this item, its really needed in the build. Replace it later if going Mercurial Magnum
Rapid RechargeYou need this for your pads to reposition and barrels for knock up to land shots
Glass CannonOP item for your gun, with this ur just too strong. The -% HP is ok cuz Headhunter, and Fortitude give you HP + Vampiric
Lucky ShotThis with Glass Cannon is slay, doubles ur damage
SpellslingerPRRRR double your DPS with fire rate!!
Mercurial MagnumInsane if they are buying too much bullet resist and if your team is heavy gun. Its a spirit gun item so you still need to hit shots!
Crippling HeadshotInsane shred for you and your team. I rush this when theres a Victor, Shiv, Abrams, etc.
Vampiric BurstFire rate = DPS and big healing when you hit shots. Its very good in this meta. I only buy if dying fast
Active ReloadI slept on this item, its very good early to keep the poke pressure up without running out of ammo. Titanic Mag is also good so buy whichever!
Burst FireThis is a realllllyy good alternative to Vampiric and Spellslinger if you want a cheaper fire rate item. Buy after Glass Cannon or Lucky Shot
Hollow PointHelp u farm jungle and heal well. Gives you extra HP and more shred. Go this when they have lots of tanks
Armor PiercerIf they buy plated armor and theres a lot of bullet resist against u buy this ASAP otherwise you will lack damage
RicochetMid item tbh lol, can rush if you want to mega farm but very good support item though with Crippling Headshot
SilencerGo this if theres a lot of spirit against you, esp Wraith, Mina, Graves, etc.
Spirit ResilienceIf you are getting blown up by spirit, this is a very good option
CounterspellINSTANT buy VS Lash, Bepop, Wraith, etc.
Bullet ResilienceIf you are getting clapped by gun go this
Dispel MagicInstant buy vs fed Infernus, Shiv, Bepop, Seven, etc. Removs any kind of debuffs like slow, cc on you, etc.
Metal SkinIf you are getting clapped by gun
Battle VestMy go to early resist. Gives you weapon damage and fire rate that pairs well with Swift
Spirit ShieldingI only go this when against heavy spirit in lane/team, this is good to make you less squishy
SpellbreakerBuy this when you are getting one shotted by spirit
IndomitableAlternative to Counterspell
InhibitorInsane item for both winning or losing. Makes the enemy weaker and anti-heal which gives you the upper hand
Siphon BulletsI go this when they are very tanky. Its insane with Inhibitor!!! Ignore everything and buy those asap when against tanks. Also dont buy Glass Cannon with this

Headshot Boosterhuge poke if you can hit headshots. if you can't hit headshots the only way to get better is by trying so buy it anyway
Extra Chargeat 3 minutes you can invade boxes and get enough to unlock pad and have 2 charges for escape
Extra Staminadelaying the mystic burst purchase, realistically can be replaced with any 800
Extra Spiritspirit good, building into surge
Rapid Rechargemust buy, any build without it is throwing unironically
Mystic Burstdoesn't do damage until max barrel. earliest you can buy, but still wont be usable without a bit more souls.
Grituse when diving towers or when you know you're about to take big damage, it just negates 200 of it
Guardian Wardusing it on teammates > yourself, but you have it when you need it too
Stamina Masteryholliday makes more use out of pads + stamina for movement than any move speed options
Recharging Rushprocs off 1 crackshot
Surge of Powerfire rate and fleetfoot for our later gun, gives enough barrel damage to buy tank buster this early
Tankbusterop item, does huge damage without any more needed investment
Debuff Reducerbetter than reactive due to its upgrades and working on damage debuffs
Reactive Barrierif you need to build into indom over unstop. better if you're issue is getting jumped and need to prevent it entirely (such as invis mo with phantom strike)
Headhunterbenefits from t2 crackshot and gives a bit of heal
Sharpshooterthe only time you ever get close is to lasso (can't shoot) or to commit to a kill with barrel, rest of the time you should be poking from afar
Blood Tributeinfinite debuff resist, if the enemy can never cc you long enough you should never die. ABUSE HEALING APPLES AND SMOKE REGEN!
Spiritual Overflowholliday benefits from all the stats here
Crippling Headshotshred and antiheal you can proc from any range, you only need to hit a headshot every 12 seconds
Spellslingerbest ammo solution imo
Divine Barrierop item, can use on teammates to keep them up longer so they draw attention, or use it on yourself in a pinch
Spellbreakerdefault option, infinite debuff resist + protection against spirit burst makes you basically unkillable.
Unstoppableif your lassos keep getting interupted and you need to be killing someone specific
Indomitableif you're getting jumped and you need preventitive measures
Superior Durationamazing item on holliday, skipped to prioritize gun in the gun build, but it is the optimal buy every game
Superior Cooldowncd is always great, more so if building barrel and lasso, upgrades to transcendant if util
Boundless Spiritbest item for her barrel damage, which falls off and it doesn't benefit her gun or util builds as much
Spirit Burnbest anti heal, makes her barrels actually useable late game
Mystic Reverbstarting to force the build a little bit, there aren't many options at this point, its kinda just fine
Escalating Exposurei genuinely think this item is fake on holli. if you're deadset on barrel nuking, and are ahead, and want to spend 6400 souls to see the number marginally improve, go for it
Healing Ritegreat item early, but apples, healing troopers, and smokes can give you plenty of healing if you need it
Rebuttalincredibly overstatted item balanced by the fact it takes up a slot. beware parrying is now a self stun and throwing them out there might kill you if you arent getting the parries
Weapon Shieldingdecent early option into haze ult or other gun burst. generally metal skin is just better and would rather save up an extra 1600 for it
Spirit Shieldingcheaper option if you need extra resist earlier
Battle Vestbenefits your gun and regen is decent, the bullet resist is kinda whatever in this meta
Enchanter's Emblemcool down and spirit resist is good
Restorative Lockethealth is fine, less useful with the addition of apples and smokes
