Sniper Mommy [Fully annotated]

Core

• 

  High-Velocity Rounds

  Fun fact, Paradox Kinetic Carbine shot actually has travel speed, very strange for a literal shot of time energy but eh.
• 

  Mystic Shot

  Don't sell until giga late game, it's essentially the perfect item for sniping.
• 

  Mystic Burst

  Early game with these 3 items 3 starts dealing like 200 damage every 15s.// The early game isn't changed too much, but the damage drop really hurts late, be less hesitant to buy Mercurial Magnum.
• 

  Sharpshooter

  Kind of goated, second highest pure damage item we get. //4.8k spike.
• 

  Tankbuster

  Massive 3 damage, try to play around the cooldown, 3's cooldown starts ticking as soon as you start charging it, so you can wait for the very last second with no downtime.//Still good.
• 

  Battle Vest

  This item was already good, now it's just busted, with the same condition as Hollow Point, you will get a lot of value.
• 

  Fortitude

  Veil walker got cooked, so Fortitude is back baby, and even better then before, the healing buff is minimal, but it's still a buff. Gives you 4.8k health, and a lot of global map pressure.
• 

  Compress Cooldown

  3333333333 //4.8k spike.
• 

  Express Shot

  Testing has shown that this item outperforms Hollow Point for sniping, because of the large added damage to your shots, but unfortunately Carbine only gets the smaller secondary fire damage buff.
• 

  Hollow Point

  Good damage and the effect procks with carbine, so your target will lose resists and be easier to kill for you or your team, now it's almost always just better then Weighted Shots.

Optional (optional)

• 

  Veil Walker

  For those who have a soft spot for Veil Walker, you can still build it, even if it got decimated by the nerfs, it's still fun.
• 

  Shadow Weave

  The buffs on this item made it insanely good for our playstyle, it might not be practical, but it's fun. Plus, unlike almost every other ability in the game, you can use 3 whilst in stealth.

#Citadel_HeroBuilds_Late

• 

  Stamina Mastery

  This item is underrated, which is strange, since everyone buys it, but I promise it is absurdly good for keeping space, it will save you far more often then 90% of greens.
• 

  Mystic Reverb

  This is literally just 50% more damage, and the aoe will easily deal thousands of damage in teamfights.
• 

  Glass Cannon

  Highest gun damage item in the game, and since our playstyle is so safe its incredibly easy to stack.//It just got buffed??
• 

Components (optional)

• 

  Extra Health

  The extra health does help in lane, and if you're going up against a melee/dangerous lane, you can pick it up early, especially since we're back to building Fortitude.
• 

  Extra Stamina

  We take Stamina over other greens because it helps us stay out of other champion's effective range, we dont need to mitigate damage that we dont take.
• 

  Sprint Boots

  Helps with getting boxes or running around for camps, builds into Shadow Weave, which is just goated now.

Survivability (optional)

• 

  Restorative Shot

  Surprisingly viable, very decent for sustain, and you can simply sell it first later. It also just literally out dps' headshot booster, that item is only for very early poke, so I dont recommend it.
• 

  Extra Regen

  Essentially 4 extra health regen, over a minute thats 240 health healed (as long as your not in combat), this or Restorative Shot and you won't need to back.
• 

  Rebuttal

  This item, per gold value, is objectively busted, you certainly won't need it late game, but if your against a melee lane, buying it (and pressing the parry key) will net you kills.

Last Purchases (optional)

• 

  Superior Cooldown

  Very low priority, your 3 is the only thing we care about.
• 

  Transcendent Cooldown

  This finishes our spirit investment after buying Mercurial Magnum, buying it before then isn't usually optimal.// With the increased movespeed spirit scaling change this is now viable earlier.
