Elendilli - Gun/Tank/Debuff Urn Fighter (V9)

Build #257951Latest v228May 29, 2026

This is a debuff / tank build Twitch.tv/Elendilli Due to the landscape of this patch (urn fights), the "solo carry" aspect of the build is no longer a thing (all fighting, almost no farming). You must play a tanky/debuff damage absorber as a result. This build helps you achieve that while doing good damage. Reminder that Spirit Turret/Ult builds are still the best for now.

Monster Rounds

Monster Rounds

Weapon T1800 souls

Buy to farm jungle/neutrals WAY faster than any other item. Works against Guardians/Walkers/Patron/Shrine/Weakened Patron. 25% vs NPC is multiplicative.

Mystic Expansion

Mystic Expansion

Spirit T1800 soulsImbue

turret range is so far you can use it from the bridge to enemies guardians (turrets have fall off so they wont deal full dmg).

Tesla Bullets

Tesla Bullets

Weapon T33,200 souls

Optimal for early wallbreaking anti-tank power. Later becomes a DEBUFF machine against enemies with BRS & Healbane (Urn fighter). Faster jungle too.

Extended Magazine

Extended Magazine

More ammo to shoot more from laning phase to mid-game. Sell when you need to buy a bigger item and have no flex slot.

Titanic Magazine

Titanic Magazine

Weapon T21,600 souls

Lets you shoot endlessly without needing to reload.

Bullet Resist Shredder

Bullet Resist Shredder

Spirit T21,600 souls

Spirit damage required to proc bullet shredder. Pair with Tesla or an active item (that deals any spirit damage) if you don't have Tesla. Walkers or enemy Heroes become much easier to kill with this.

Healbane

Healbane

Vitality T21,600 souls

anti heal for urn fights its pretty op once people start dying and u just superheal out of nowhere multiple times. turrets/tesla applies it.

Situational Lane

Optional
2 items
Close Quarters

Close Quarters

Weapon T1800 souls

More damage to Heroes in lane instead of Monster Rounds to shove wave. with wall trapping players w/ melee resist and more dmg is good or just trading in general

GritActive

Grit

Vitality T1800 souls

builds into spirit shielding later very good 800 in lane for instant stats and safety

Mid/Late

Your job is to absorb damage while dealing damage at Urn. Fleetfoot is skippable (if slots are limited).

Vitality T1800 souls

Can buy in lane too.

ColossusActive

Colossus

Vitality T46,400 souls

When you need resists ASAP. This version of Deadlock is incredibly unforgiving to Gun McG so we buy this and if they go on us, they have to waste a lot of resources.

FleetfootActive

Fleetfoot

Weapon T21,600 souls

Shoot without movespeed penalty (this is op). With enduring speed, slows basically don't faze us.

Heroic AuraActive

Heroic Aura

Weapon T33,200 souls

Buy with Fleetfoot to become racecar god. Mainly for resist on your teammates and turrets while active works on turrets too.

Quicksilver Reload

Quicksilver Reload

Spirit T21,600 soulsImbue

Infinite / Quick reload for more ammo. This builds into Mercurial Magnum later and it becomes a significant part of our DPS so enjoy the insta-reload.

Mercurial Magnum

Mercurial Magnum

Spirit T46,400 soulsImbue

Infinte AMMO. This item scales with boons/levels. The higher your boons, the more damage you get from it. You don't need other spirit items this item does ULTRA dmg even without spirit items

Spellslinger

Spellslinger

Weapon T46,400 souls

The best item DPS wise in the game (Hard to use, but if you learn how its the best DPS item in the game). Items work for +1 stack too. "Combat" is when u take dmg or when atking. Neutrals work too

Crippling Headshot

Crippling Headshot

Weapon T46,400 souls

Increases damage taken from our gun, turrets, merc mag, toxic bullets and inflicts much needed Anti-Heal. Shred also works for teammates. Incredibly slot efficient item.

Urn Fight (sometimes)

Optional
2 items
Rebuttal

Rebuttal

Vitality T1800 souls

The 30% bonus damage applies to ALL of our damage to EVERYTHING for 6 SECONDS including GUN so even mid-game if you parry you gain 30% AMP ON YOUR GUN TO DELETE ANYONE BLOOD TRIUBTE PARRY ABRAMS DEAD

Rapid Recharge

Rapid Recharge

Spirit T33,200 souls

Many turrets. Setup in advance.

Luxury

Optional

Berserker + Blood Tribute is HIGH GUN DAMAGE, but hard to use. Leech is good for sustain tank.

9 items
Echo ShardActive

Echo Shard

Spirit T46,400 soulsImbue

REALLY GOOD ITEM ESPECIALLY AT URN FIGHTS. BUY THIS BEFORE IT GETS NERFED.

Berserker

Berserker

Weapon T33,200 souls
Blood TributeActive

Blood Tribute

Weapon T33,200 souls

Extremely good item to prevent getting stunned or CCd by long duration stuns like Abrams charge. Item is also used to move around faster.

Leech

Leech

Vitality T46,400 souls

Turrets + Merc Mag give a lot of lifesteal/spiritsteal. It feels pretty decent while becoming super tanky.

Vampiric BurstActive

Vampiric Burst

Vitality T46,400 souls

The most crucial 6000 item of the build. Provides massive lifesteal to turn the tables on the enemy and gigaburst them with your gun or gives you extra ammo when trying manfight

CapacitorActive

Capacitor

Weapon T46,400 souls

Not bought often since you need to aim and hit a targets, but if you want them to not escape like Lash, Wraith, Mina or something this is an option.

Frenzy

Frenzy

Weapon T46,400 souls

Debuffs wear off way faster. More of a tanky item and we move really fast too. Pairs amazingly with COlossus

Ricochet

Ricochet

Weapon T46,400 souls

Buy if you can combo w/ team (Lash/Dynamo ult). Firerate is also a huge plus. Pair with Silencer always.

Silencer

Silencer

Weapon T46,400 souls

Buy when you have Ricochet and need more crowd control in silence and a passive -25% spirit damage debuff. Very useful utility buy if you have Ricochet. YOU SHOULD BUY THIS IF YOU HAVE RICOCHET ALWAYS

Auto-Unstop / Unstop

Optional
2 items
Indomitable

Indomitable

Vitality T46,400 souls

Buy as a safety net. Lash ult / Haze sleeps / Abrams charge+ult / Mo Ult etc. It activates before stun. Works well w/ Counterspell (you can save this or fall back on counterspell if one gets used).`

UnstoppableActive

Unstoppable

Vitality T46,400 souls

Buy to survive against CC

Situational

Optional

Buy Echo Shard for x2 wall often. For urn fights especially, it's AMAZING.

18 items
Intensifying Magazine

Intensifying Magazine

Weapon T21,600 souls

Buy with Active Reload for maximum effectiveness, replacing Titanic Mag entirely.

Active Reload

Active Reload

Weapon T21,600 souls

If you buy Active Reload, pair it with Intensifying Mag completely skipping Extended/Titanic Mag. Titanic Mag is mainly for newer players to not get overwhelmed by constantly having to reload w/ AR.

Slowing Bullets

Slowing Bullets

Weapon T21,600 souls

VERY GOOD WITH MOVEPSEED ITEMS TO CHASE DOWN ENEMIES

Weakening Headshot

Weakening Headshot

Weapon T21,600 souls

works on everything now

Enduring Speed

Enduring Speed

Vitality T21,600 souls

Buy this item if you feel like a slug. Combine it with Heroic Aura to move incredibly fast but remember to plan your next few items carefully as it takes 1 slots each.

Battle Vest

Battle Vest

Vitality T21,600 souls

if enemy has bullet damage in order of priority: Haze, Vyper, Wraith (in lane mostly gun), Warden, Drifter, Billy, Ivy and uncommon spirit hero doing gun

Metal SkinActive

Metal Skin

Vitality T33,200 souls

When gun Heroes like Vyper, Haze, Venator, Warden etc... are a problem

Fortitude

Fortitude

Vitality T33,200 souls
Counterspell

Counterspell

Vitality T33,200 souls

Buy against Lash ult, Wraith ult etc... It works the same way Hazes' 2 maxed does but for spells. Lookup the full list on google.

Dispel MagicActive

Dispel Magic

Vitality T33,200 souls

Sometimes necessary to buy against SILENCE, multiple DISARMS or more importantly SPIRIT BURNS which prevent us from healing. We can handle one anti-heal but two or more or spirit burn is bad for us.

Stamina Mastery

Stamina Mastery

Vitality T33,200 souls

I highly recommend you try to AIR DASH with this item instead of using ground dash. You get WAY more distance, especially if you chain two air dashes in a row. Doing it off a zipline, you go FLYING.

Spirit Resilience

Spirit Resilience

Vitality T33,200 souls

Dispel Magic instead of this sometimes. Buy against heavy CONSISTENT spirit damage. Given it is a spirit meta, this item will have way more use this patch than others.

Juggernaut

Juggernaut

Vitality T46,400 souls

Buy when u have no slots and need firerate reduction though METAL SKIN is better for gun immunity and cheaper.

Golden Goose EggActive

Golden Goose Egg

Spirit T1800 souls

Basically USE/HATCH after minute 10:01 for MAXIMUM value (buffs upgrade at 10:01). Hold until you need to buy an important item then pop egg. It's not always 10 mins thats just the minimum.

Suppressor

Suppressor

Spirit T21,600 souls

Efficient item to hinder enemy fire rate

Mystic Slow

Mystic Slow

Spirit T21,600 souls

procs from tesla. works on turrets too. not terrible, but not slot efficient

Duration Extender

Duration Extender

Spirit T21,600 soulsImbue

You can stay longer on your heal if it is maxed early and just commit. Hits 4800 earlier than QsR too.

Cursed RelicActive

Cursed Relic

Spirit T46,400 souls

Buy against near unkillable targets that always use mobility to get out (Pocket, Wraith etc).

Anti-Heal

Optional
2 items
Toxic Bullets

Toxic Bullets

Weapon T33,200 souls

Often needed due to lack of anti heal on team. Pairs well with Healbane for -55% enemy heal reduction for cheap.

Inhibitor

Inhibitor

Vitality T46,400 souls

Extremely good item for healing reduction and reducing enemy spirit + gun damage. Requires buildup but works like Toxic Bullets after buildup and can reset duration forever.

Junkyard (not used, recycle for another patch)

Optional
11 items
Swift Striker

Swift Striker

Weapon T21,600 souls

Buy this or Burst Fire. Cost effective fire rate for 800/1600 is a steal. It also beats Burst Fire for objectives since it requires Hero damage to proc as opposed to Swift Striker needing nothing.

Burst Fire

Burst Fire

Weapon T33,200 souls

You can skip Burst Fire for Blood Tribute if you know how to use Blood Tribute.

Hunter's Aura

Hunter's Aura

Weapon T33,200 souls

CHOOSE HOLLOW POINT OR THIS. Play sidelanes to get the most out of this item. Provides bullet resist shred up to 20% (if only 1 enemy Hero) or 10% (2+ enemy Hero). Paired with BRS and Suppressor.

Escalating Resilience

Escalating Resilience

Weapon T33,200 souls

You can skip Titanic Mag and buy this a little later if you predict that you need some bullet resist while also investing into a gun item.

Glass Cannon

Glass Cannon

Weapon T46,400 souls

Will +1.5x our DPS late game (~550) with 0 stacks, 26 headshots, 100 body, 30 boons. LUCKY SHOT does a bit less DPS (470 to 520 RNG) unless u value HEALTH over DPS. Need ~200% wpn for Lucky to outdps

Armor Piercing Rounds

Armor Piercing Rounds

Weapon T46,400 souls

Buy against BULLET EVASION (main use), PLATED ARMOR or HIGH BULLET RES. ***This item will help you lifesteal way more with Vampiric vs high bullet resist***

Lucky Shot

Lucky Shot

Weapon T46,400 souls

Buy only when you have high amounts of weapon damage 200+ (Remember to count Berserker stacks manually). This item will give you insane extra bonus damage additively. Glass is better than Lucky 4 DPS

Fury TranceActive

Fury Trance

Vitality T33,200 souls

You can buy this alongside Vampiric Burst just to have that extra firerate and spirit resist if you don't mind having another active button to press. Amazing firerate w/ Blood Tribute too.

Plated Armor

Plated Armor

Vitality T46,400 souls

Tank up even more ontop of the bullet resist that we have. Even if enemies buy armor piercing rounds it doesn't completely negate the usefulness of this item at all.

Spellbreaker

Spellbreaker

Vitality T46,400 souls

Buy when you need 1) Spirit Resist & 2) Debuff Resist and spirit resist & 3) Have a lot of money to spend. Debuff Resist is for annoying things like Curse..

Slowing HexActive

Slowing Hex

Spirit T21,600 souls

Disable their escapes and gun them down. Doesn't last very long so combo with an ally to kill them before Hex wears off!
