Point BlankThe Slow and Damage are really good. This is what I buy 80% of gamesToxic BulletsBuy this if they have a bunch of tanksBlood TributeHigh skill floor item with really good valueMid-Late Game
Mercurial MagnumOnce you get this start farming t3 campsLeechStart taking fights after you get thisSpiritual OverflowThis item keeps getting buffed. Good for buffing both of our damage typesUltra Late Game
FrenzyComes with bullet lifesteal and fire rate while also making you a lot stronger below half hp. The debuff resist is really good.RicochetREALLY good when the enemy keeps deathballing or grouping up in fightsUnstoppableGood for dodging stuns that would get you killedBoundless Spiritan increase in your spirit output, not the best option usuallyOther Strong Items
Bullet Resist ShredderCan be bought instead of cold frontEscalating ResilienceDPS boost AND big resistance. You get full resitance almsot immediatly so its basically a better Bullet Resilience as an orange itemSwift StrikerI dont buy this anymoreSplit ShotI dont like buying this because its insanely immoral but most vyper mains abuse itHunter's AuraSilencerStops them from countering you immediatly when you get in their face. Especially good against spirit heros who heavily punish being up close, specifically Geist Ult and Mo Ult.InhibitorI buy this a lot because it gives you more value in late game with disabling the enemies damage.Spellslingercan be really good when youre getting knocked up constantly and need to reload more oftenGlass CannonDO NOT BUY THIS IF YOU ARE NEGATIVE KDCrippling HeadshotReally good against resitance stackingSCROLL DOWN FOR BUILD GUIDE | SCROLL DOWN FOR BUILD GUIDE | SCROLL DOWN FOR BUILD GUIDE | SCROLL DOWN FOR BUILD GUIDE
Reactive Barriercan be a life savor in lane, especially against bebopDispel MagicI often buy this to remove anti heals, especially spirit burnMetal SkinSpirit ResilienceI buy this a lotBattle VestInsanely strong Item. Gives you regen for lane and increased gun damage. Can be bought instead of Enduring SpeedSpellbreakerUSED TO BE the goat, but got heavily nerfed.Vampiric BurstInsane amount of sustainPlated Armora big middle finger to infernus and hazeCounterspellGood for dodging ults and abilitiesWarp StoneCan get you out of sticky situationsIndomitableWin rate counts matches where players had the build selected at game start; “follow it” verifies against what those players actually bought.
