frankenstein never dies (4/14/26)

third sell

good for farm. first sell

buy before opening if struggle

IF YOU ARENT PLAYING GUN PUT THIS ON BATTERY AND BUY IT AFTER ENDURING

tons of extra damage. very high preformer

good item

skip if no gun

before regen (unless struggle)

after regen

after enduring speed

after cooldown (which is after torment if no gun)

amazing item. if too much gun damage

big damage boost. good for farm too. buy after esc. exp. if no gun

tons of damage gained over time, fantastic for both 1v1s and teamfights. buy after infuser if no gun. see spirit burn

absurdly good on victor but needs to be later because of early gun blah blah. buy after boundless if hella struggling. BUY FIRST IF NO GUN

obviously great for jumpstart, ult, battery, and all actives

sadly needed right now :( for silences and really bad anti heals (decay, spirit burn, etc.) also silences.

max jumpstart gives extra charge nowadays so if ur being debuffed to hell or running out of charges often buy ts. or if you have no slots but tons of money

if you are hardcore heal diffed by most of enemy team

yeah just counterspell

purchase this at literally any point after warp stone whenever enemy team has anti heal. dont buy until they start countering though. good pair with metal skin

great bullet resist + chase/run option. buy if people tickling you with gun and also getting away

anti heal makes it so you can kill people wayy easier. buy after boundless

kinda good with this hybrid ish build but really you shouldnt buy

if gun carries are too much. dont buy if team already has one

if teammate already has juggernaut

if you're getting CC'd to hell | new blood tribute buffs allow it to be used and should be enough but not always, in those scenarios buy unstop

FOR AFFLICTION

if you're running out of cooldowns/fights are super prolonged buy this before reverb

extremely good for teamfights and keeping consistent damage in 1v1s. technically buffs infuser

buy before witchmail if fights are super bursty and u cant heal enough. as of most recent patch, battery with reverb is way better than aura bc you gain lifesteal from battery damage AND reverb damage

if you are struggling bad with bursty spirit opps

if too much stamina loss

good item if metal skins movement penalties are too much (wraith/warden being quick characters) shouldnt be required since blood tribute solves that and more so probably dont buy unless niche scenario

great against enemy frontliner/anti carry like mo or yamato

anti carry item

extra damage and hp after popping ult

good if enemy team has tons of resist like mo, silver, venator

spirit resist and movespeed

maybe good? idk

good but support should buy

support should buy, still good and sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do
