Possibly Solved Venator Dopamine Maxxing

Some gun dmg and very useful sustain. can swap order with cq if u want, sell first

Gives the most dmg to gutshot / nades this early, builds into point blank later otherwise sell later

Technically only nerfed by 7% dmg, but now has 8% permanent weapon dmg at all times which makes up the difference after doing the math. Still GOATED

Slowing hex bullets. Highest T2 non conditional weapon dmg available. Buffs almost all our abilities and builds into weighted shots later on

Resist, regen, dmg. Swap for a t2 optional if needed and Sell late for better defensive items

Some hp, weapon dmg now, and a lil self sustain. Builds into vampiric, can be very clutch at times

Ven is one of the least mobile AND slowest chars in the entire game AND has bucket 3 stam. If u prefer stam mastery skip bullet lifesteal

Cheap easy buy and timed well for nade max

One of his best synergizing items. Nade and gutshot can pop it on their own + fairly low CD

Core. Highest T3 non conditional weapon dmg u can get and builds from slowing bullets + nice debuff resist

Great slotlock buy and buffs us for playing in our ideal range. The slow stacks with weighted too

CORE. HUGE for teamfights, pit fights, midboss, and defending shrines. Can give you GC levels of dmg amp easily. Fine to delay if there isn't much grouping yet

Can pick between this and pointblank to save a slot and hit our spikes faster. OOC, flat hp, bullet shred, and more dmg are always good regardless

Core. Multiplies dmg output and utility through nades, can delay this however much you prefer

Rem/Graves lanes or if unable/need to get lane prio

Keeps getting buffed. Tempo stealing farm maxxing. Skip opening AND slowing if u want smooth 4.8k spike, synergizes with Ven very well. Can sell late late game

MASSIVE dps boost and stacks very fast on ven with how much we can spam our nades and traps alone

Survivability and DPS spike. Also is an auto reload, no reason to ever not have this. Grab earlier if needed

Reduce their dmg + more anti heal + extra weapon dmg and hp. This thing is still ridiculous for a green

Lovely sexy gorgeous. We apply it easily and it's super useful vs heavy spirit shitting comps

LOTS of shred + anti heal and more hp. Always good late if no one has it (it's no longer bugged with hollow point either incase you have it)

Given Ven's low hp being a weakness, this is still his largest and most imporant lategame vitality boost

Even after the global hp nerfs it's still technically always an ok buy, but generally there's better options to prioritize. Also completely ignores anti heal

Can be a strong Spellslinger alternative for heavy CC comps. The firerate, hp, debuff resist, and movement speed still feels very good

Still compy. Can get after your mid cores and is highly underrated in non melee builds

Biggest raw dmg possible. Prefer to not get late so i can stack faster. Weapon dmg is additive so in reality it's only about ~25% to 28% by the time u get it, still not really worth it

With spellslinger/frenzy for a lategame fire rate amp it can really come online IF you need nothing else

Exodia. Might as well be core, great basically every single game. Sell battlevest if slotlocked

Counterspell

For when they have multiple STDs

Exodia. Haze / Heavy m1 burst, otherwise consider juggernaut or plated armor depending on the comp

Glorp

mongolian dark magician undercover psyop tech

Banshees veil of deadlock. It does have inconsistencies though, check deadlock mythbusters video. Great item even still

Mass CC comps / Dynamo

Mass spirit nuking

Slot locked

Anti haze/wraith/infernus etc.
