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 The Doorman builds ranked by the real win rate of matches that started with them (conservative 95% bound), with stale pre-patch builds flagged.
High-Velocity RoundsSell in the late game, this item is pretty helpful in general as Doorman's Bullet Velocity is slow. If Bell Build is priority, this item is enough but you can optionally upgrade to Opening Rounds

Extra Spirit
Mystic Bursttry to maximise your usage of this in lane
Improved Spiritthe extra regen is kind of vital honestly
Extra Chargeyou can get extra spirit first if you want
Compress Cooldownyou can put this on bell but i think having ult up more often is so good
Recharging Rushgood if you feel like youre running out of charges, also means you REALLY dont care about sup cooldown
Heroic Aurai think this thing is really good, but the resistance doesnt stack so dont buy it if somebody else has it.
Swift Strikeri REALLY like this thing with sharpshooter
Sharpshooterhighly undervalued item, its like glass cannon but costs half as much
Headhuntergood if your team is going to push walkers and you dont need to be top objective damage in the lobby. sell this for crippling headshot if it gets gigalate
Rapid Rechargethink about getting gun investment now
Tankbusteri dont think you ever want to skip this
Superior Cooldownjust get this whenever youre at the store
Enchanter's Embleminstead of enduring?
Trophy Collectori like this
Fortitudestrong item means you never have to back
Stamina Masteryyou can trade in your t2 green for this if you want later
Boundless Spiritstronger bells
Spirit Burnreally important now that you want to be throwing things at urn fights and such
Transcendent Cooldownthe point of this is the item cooldowns so dont bother unless you have like 3. which you should.
Slowing Hexgo away pocket / lash / calico / mina / apollo. really strong in general but if they dont have much movement its just good and not insane
Spirit Sapitem is way stronger than you think because -30sp is hard to visualise. shiv hates this especially. its kind of like youre unbuying a boundless from them
Knockdownreally good and sets up free cart
Focus LensREALLY good, 30% damage as pure damage. probably if theres like 4 debuff removers just get echo shard instead.
Silence Waveslowing hex 2, procs indomitable
Cursed Relic*most* of the time focus lens is good enough
Decay
Plated Armorthis is actually spirit res in disguise
Spellbreakerprobably the only one of these i actually get
Indomitableits all too much.
Spiritual Overflow40 spirit power if i hit two shots? hmm
Spirit Shredderextremely strong item in general and i should probably try it more. probably not best on this hero but if your team literally has zero shred this is what needs to be done
Veil Walkerthis item might be flat out dead now but im not sure
Mystic Vulnerabilitythis is probably the worst item in the game, giving the same amout of shred as ssb with none of the lifesteal
Cultist Sacrificeyou dont have the active slots for this.
Ballistic Enchantmentway too conditional to be worse than long range
Greater Expansionability range does nothing for us because we want to hit the impact
Mystic Reverbkind of bad for the cost? way worse than spirit burn. lifesteal isnt a big deal and the rest is eh. its the least bad of all these items though
Cheat Deathbe honest with me.
Metal Skindying to bullet damage is usually a positioning issue.
Opening Roundsokay its not TERRIBLE but it doesnt work against towers and i just dont like it
High-Velocity RoundsAlmost always buy first. Doorman's base bullet velocity is horrible.
Headshot BoosterEarly lane chip. Watch the cooldown tentatively.
Long RangeSolid early base damage. Can replace with Slowing Bullets, Bullet Resist Shredder, or skip and buy any of the Mid Alternatives/Extras later instead.
Extra StaminaReplace with Fleetfoot, Enduring Speed, etc. if you don't want Kinetic Dash or Stamina Mastery.
Kinetic DashGunman utilizes this item better than any other due to his initially low max ammo and fire rate. May replace with Stamina Mastery, but skip first for Headhunter to get Gunspike.
Active ReloadHoopla's special sauce. Cheap lifesteal + fire rate + ammo + speed. Optional Buy.
HeadhunterGreat chip + heal, spam that cooldown.
Restorative ShotCheap solid heal
FleetfootMovement penalty is annoying on gunman.
Opening RoundsConflicts with Express Shot my goat.
Titanic MagazineNever enough ammo.
SharpshooterGreat damage buff. Allows you to take shots from distances you didn't know were possible. Extremely helpful for chases. More bullet velocity for fliers.
Weakening HeadshotGood bullet shred. Can buy in place of Hollow Point or Active Reload, buy earlier.
Extra Health+400ish health. Fortitude precursor.
Bullet LifestealLifesuck v.2. Vampiric Burst precursor, buy earlier if needed
Express ShotBest Gunman item of all time. Gives you a 2-shot bazooka with crazy speed, good for quick flicks. Can rush early in lane if you want to skip Opening Rounds.
FortitudeHit crates and heal — no need for going back to spawn. Can swap for other greens or skip.
Vampiric BurstBest Gunman green. Use as a quick health reset / burst damage in unison with Active Reload and Blood Tribute.
Blood TributeConsistent fire rate + debuff resist + move speed. Use in combo with Vampiric Burst (+ Berserker if you get it). If you buy this and Berserker just sell Headhunter late game.
BerserkerStack with Blood Tribute. Charge before entering a fight.
Hollow PointCookie cutter and solid — damage + bullet shred + regen. Usually prefer to skip and go bleed to kill combo.
Burst FireFirerate Supp
Lucky ShotSupercharged one shots are now possible.
SpellslingerThrow some Bells and Carts to max effect, fast reload and high firerate buff.
RicochetTouch everyone and everything.
Glass CannonIf the kills are coming to you, buy this as early as you want and stack them.
Crippling HeadshotGreat anti-heal + all around shred.
Battle VestSolid early game green to stack. Get for an earlier green spike with Fortitude.
Counterspell
Spirit ResilienceStandard spirit crutch.
Dispel MagicCleanser
InhibitorWhen vs. rapid regen characters, buy this + Crippling Headshot early. Proc rate for Doorman is high.
Spellbreaker
Golden Goose Egg
Knockdown
Slowing Hex
Bullet Resist ShredderBetter for hybrid Bell/Gun builds or if you just want to stack early bullet shred.
Rapid RechargeExtra bells for gun buffs.
