#Citadel_HeroBuilds_EarlyGame

Monster Rounds
Faster wave clear speed, but most importantly faster jungle with less downtime because of the resists.
Extra Regen
Super nice for staying topped up in lane. Buy later if somehow not getting damaged. Can be replaced with Healing Rite.
High-Velocity Rounds
Prereq to Opening Rounds, its okay!
Opening Rounds
Gives great early stats, you love it all.
Enchanter's Emblem
Early bump in survivability and damage. Rarely can switch for Healbane to get it earlier.
Improved Spirit
75% of the time, buy Slow Hex or Suppressor instead to counter. This is just the brain off option.
Duration Extender
2 AP Surge is so easy to get in lane now with faster boons it just does too much to wait on. This makes it better.
Superior Duration
Duration for Ball, Stun and Ult too, and items like Healbane, EE, and Spirit Burn. 4.8k Spirit spike here.
Extra Health
Makes you way harder to burst down in lane and is nice to stack with regen for the 4.8k investment path.
Healbane
Anti heal is great and burst heal is insanely nice too. Sell super late for Spirit Burn or other anti heal. 4.8k Health spike here.
Mystic Expansion
Builds into Ballistic now, its fine. Skippable if not taking Ballistic.
Ballistic Enchantment
Consistent damage and a ton of range. Can take Cultist instead. (If you wanna build Ball, you need some kind of range)

#Citadel_HeroBuilds_MidGame

Mystic Vulnerability
A good spike in spirit damage, doesn't stack with other teammates with the same item.
Escalating Exposure
Disgusting damage boosting item. Don't forget, the shred is for your whole team but the Passive Amp from EE is just for you.
Spirit Lifesteal
A ton of healing to keep you healthy during (and in between) fights and jungling.

Early Alt (optional)

Slowing Hex
Can replace Improved Spirit early, absolutely destroys certain heroes (like 50% of the cast), very strong.
Suppressor
Can replace Improved Spirit. Very strong against gun heavy heroes, everyone needs to shoot in lane though!

End Game

Spiritual Overflow
A massive stat stick and you love all of it. Getting built out of Lifesteal is crazy nice.
Infuser
A huge amount of lifesteal and damage output on command. Check Leech for replacement info.
Crippling Headshot
A ton of shred AND anti-heal but relies on headshots. Great as a gun investment filler late game. Check replacements for more info.

Defensive Core (optional)

Spirit Resilience
Great item for Spirit damage. Consider Spellbreaker instead for high burst spirit.
Metal Skin
Great against fed gun carries, suddenly you live 10x longer than they expect, and gives time for your team to help out.
Counterspell
Very popular item if you're good enough to use it, either against big damage or incoming CC, Lash, Bebop, Mo, etc.

Replacement/Rare items (optional)

Stamina Mastery
An alternative to Speed items, if you think you need them.
Cultist Sacrifice
Can swap with Ballistic if you think you just want to farm and get bonus souls. Worse for fighting generally and need to play around the buff timer.
Spirit Shredder
Late game focused pickup for a bit of spirit resist shred and lifesteal, but less early weapon damage. Can replace Opening Rounds if you want.

Extra Charge

Component for Rapid Recharge, it's okay. Sometimes you can slot this in whenever if you have spare money and slots.

Rapid Recharge

Ball CDR and CD between charges is generally helpful. This isn't a rush buy, if you have a lot banked get Overflow instead etc.

Boundless Spirit

A solid global upgrade to your whole kit, so much spirit. You can skip this for other End Game buys, this is very consistent though and buffs everything.

Spirit Burn

Highest anti-heal in the game. Reworked to be per target, actually feels decent to pick up late game. You can even rush this as second/third tier 4 if no one on your team has and you need it bad.

Indomitable

This is here for the L to R buyers among you. Doesn't have to be bought but you really should have some anti CC. High elo players, you probably need Unstop instead.

Transcendent Cooldown

I don't think its better than Duration early, requires a bigger buy in to effect items. With no toxic it can definitely see use late game. Stack EE faster and proc Spirit Burn more.

Quicksilver Reload

Mid item on its own, but Magnum makes it worth. Helps with ammo.

Mercurial Magnum

It's a good item for improving your 1v1 potential but it struggles with Seven's low bullet growth and fire rate being mid.

Vortex Web

Mostly troll pickup but sometimes you never want to sell Slowing Hex so might as well upgrade it and get bonus range too!

Refresher

6,400 souls

Dispel Magic

Really nice item for dispelling kinda anything. Any debuffs or stacking abilties, even incoming abilities like Bebop bomb.

Reactive Barrier

Good for laning against CC heavy heroes, builds into indomitable now.

Unstoppable

Amazing if you are getting CC'ed a ton. Hard requirement if you want to ult a lot.

Plated Armor

A good anti gun late game item, helps with on hit effects like Infernus and Haze, or M1s who like to build ricochet etc.

Bullet Resilience

Decent against gun AND melee damage. Consider Plated Armor or Metal Skin instead.

Juggernaut

Gives a nice amount of speed and passively counters gun and melee heavy teams. It's very solid.

Spellbreaker

Good if the Spirit damage is mainly burst, with debuff resist on top. Sometimes Resilience is better if it is more consistent chip or drain though.

Ethereal Shift

If you are getting dived a lot this might buy you valuable seconds for your team to help. Big buff after too!

Spirit Shielding

Theoretically nice early for countering damage early, but you don't really want to fight early, so get damage and buy better defensives later imo.

Weapon Shielding

Same notes as spirit shielding but for gun.

Diviner's Kevlar

Compy ult build? Probably not.

Spirit Rend

Kinda similar use case to Crippling Headshot, can get technically higher shred with repeat headshots but not sure it's worth.

Toxic Bullets

Scales with many parts of your kit, build and general game state. However, it's falling out of favour due to hp nerfs and Spirit Burn consistency.

Fleetfoot

Used to be the goat but other 1.6k items just feel more impactful.

Enduring Speed

Not using this for HP spike anymore but you could take it instead of Regen and HP, but feels less needed now.

Leech

Take Leech instead of Infuser if you are getting Cursed and/or can't use Infuser well. It is less total lifesteal and stats but generally more consistent (or if you are gross and go gun heavy).

Echo Shard

Rest in peace echo shard 28/07.

Lightning Scroll

Technically high impact but the stun duration isn't that long and I'm not a huge fan of sitting in Ult for long. Just try echo shard instead if you want CC.

Arcane Surge

Could replace Imp Spirit early, stat wise this is cracked but I hate using it.

Recharging Rush

Despite Zerggy propaganda if you aren't going gun heavy, I don't think this is worth an item slot. You shouldn't run out of 4 charges often...
