Lane

Monster RoundsKill their wave before they kill your wave otherwise our abilities are way harder to use. Opening Rounds

Opening RoundsShoot people without shitty velocity. Extra Charge

Extra ChargeTry to sync dropping assistant with 2 bolt charges until you have T2 bolt. Extra Spirit

Extra SpiritSpirit good. Improved Spirit

Improved SpiritSpirit good. Can slot in Mystic Expansion here instead if you are struggling to reliably hit bolts. Otherwise, this is best for damage. Rapid Recharge

Rapid RechargeOne of your main power spikes alongside T2 and T3 bolt. Cultist Sacrifice

Cultist SacrificeGun spike and money - helps you hit AP faster for max Vexing Bolt. Can go Sharpshooter instead if you want to play more active.

Get one before or after green 3k

Reactive BarrierGood if enemy team is able to proc it consistently and you need more survival. Enchanter's Emblem

Enchanter's EmblemBasic survivability and decent stats. Can go Reactive or Trophy instead for 4.8k green spike. Weapon Shielding

Weapon Shielding

Core

Warp StoneCore movement item for survivability as well as being really good for enabling certain ults like Pocket / Dynamo / Lash. Interchangeable with Dispel and Counterspell in this position. Mystic Expansion

Mystic ExpansionIf you are noob then buy this over Improved Spirit in laning phase. Also allows you to hit all 3 creeps in T2 camps. Boundless Spirit

Boundless SpiritHuge damage spike. Not worth rushing anymore though unless you are stomping hard. Greater Expansion

Greater ExpansionAmazing for bolt / rabbit / actives and almost every ult you steal. Superior Cooldown

Superior DurationCan skip if you don't need it. Imbue T2 Duration onto Bunny.

Greens

Dispel MagicIf there's slowing hexes or silence waves, you will need this. Counterspell

CounterspellCan be bad due to desync but it's good against mobile burst heroes like Calico / Lash / Pocket and it can also save you from CC. Usually Warp Stone is better if you can't buy both. Metal Skin

Metal SkinGood if you are getting jumped by a roaming Haze that doesn't have Curse or if you need it to survive vs. gun Warden / Geist / etc. Also good when popping certain ults like Dynamo or Seven.

TRASH

Veil WalkerHalf the veils were removed on the map this item is doodoo now.

Late Utility

Echo ShardAlways broken with max rabbit. Should be highest prio as a 6k. Divine Barrier

Divine BarrierGood if getting owned by Pocket / Drifter / Ivy ult. Diviner's Kevlar

GritGood item for taking trades in lane and if you plan on upgrading to Reactive or Weapon Shielding. Don't get Spirit Shielding most of the time cause Weapon is usually better. Extra Health

Extra HealthGood for flat HP early. Don't bother upgrading though. Healbane

HealbaneIf team has no anti-heal. Debuff Reducer

Early Game

High-Velocity RoundsProbably the best item in Deadlock Opening Rounds

Opening RoundsGood stats, makes our gun really strong lane poke, gun spikes later with weave Extra Charge

Extra ChargeTry to save both bolt charges in lane for when assistant is up. Improved Spirit

Improved SpiritSpirit good Rapid Recharge

Rapid RechargeSpirit spike timed with 3ap on bolt, if lane is still going at this point you should be able to force guardian. Enchanter's Emblem

Enchanter's EmblemSpirit good Sprint Boots

Sprint Boots Shadow Weave

Shadow WeaveVeil 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.

Dispel MagicMost often defensive buy. Slowing hex is very popular right now and this with assistant up makes you almost immortal. Warp Stone

Warp StoneAll around good survivability item and enables a lot of stolen ults. Usually buy vs pocket / dynamo Metal Skin

Metal SkinBest 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

CounterspellReally good in specific matchups. I buy this vs Drifter most often so his ult doesn't cc me for 12 seconds.

Core Items

Magic CarpetLegit the do everything item, lets you be anywhere on the map, force lanes in without fear, farm boxes super fast, and enable some ults better than any other item. Use shadow weave while channeling Greater Expansion

Greater ExpansionMakes everything easier to hit and makes almost every ult better. Superior Cooldown

Superior CooldownMore of our OP buttons now that all the important ones are leveled Transcendent Cooldown

Transcendent CooldownMore buttons, more carpets, more invis Boundless Spirit

Boundless SpiritGiga damage increase to everything. Superior Duration

Superior DurationWorks with rabbit, our items, and almost every ult we steal. Caps out our spirit invest

Lategame Utility

Vortex WebIf you bought shex you can upgrade to this, really strong initiation item from invis. Echo Shard

Echo ShardMuch worse with the recent nerf imo, still obviously strong against grounded teams but I don't really buy this very often. Scourge

ScourgeThrow on largest monkey and farm damage, really strong with how much spirit power / duration / range we get Cursed Relic

Cursed RelicIf 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

Diviner's KevlarAlways a solid item after you hit max spirit investment if you don't know what else to buy. Divine Barrier

Divine BarrierOP item, makes you even more untouchable and lets you save teammates too

Full Bolt Damage

Surge of PowerStrong as an early spike if you get it right after shadow weave, falls off later in the game Tankbuster

TankbusterBad on this hero but enables reverb / spirit burn Mystic Reverb

Mystic ReverbStand 4 meters behind assistant and both your bolts will hit at the same time making this do 2x dmg Spirit Burn

Spirit BurnIf they have tons of healing Mystic Vulnerability

Mystic Vulnerability Escalating Exposure

Escalating ExposureShould always be the last one of these items you buy unless you're stealing seven ult every fight

Situationals

Extra RegenIf needed for lane Unstoppable

UnstoppableOnly consider this item if you're stealing dynamo / seven ult every fight and are against a lot of interupts. Indomitable

IndomitableGood 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. Cheat Death

Cheat DeathIf the only way you die is unreactable cc that can't be indomitable'd like Dynamo ult Slowing Hex
