Mystic Burst

Mystic Burst

Spirit T1800 souls

Damage. A lot of damage too with rank 1 of your Sigil.

Healing RiteActive

Healing Rite

Vitality T1800 souls

This item is a must buy, lots of pros and high elo players buy this first in the match so consider it, it scales with spirit too. Buy it regardless of HB or not.

Mystic Expansion

Mystic Expansion

Spirit T1800 soulsImbue

If you feel as if your lunges aren't hitting enough to justify extra spirit, then buy this! If you buy this w/ Improved/Extra Spirit, you may force an early slotlock with core items so be mindful!

Extra Stamina

Extra Stamina

Vitality T1800 souls

Mobility is great.

Extra Spirit

Extra Spirit

Spirit T1800 souls

Damage.

Improved Spirit

Improved Spirit

Spirit T21,600 souls

Damage.

Mystic Vulnerability

Mystic Vulnerability

Spirit T21,600 souls

Getting damage online. Sell later most times!

Early Game Sustain

Choose 1-2 before Vuln.

4 items
Trophy Collector

Trophy Collector

Vitality T21,600 souls

Such a strong item on the lane bully. This is a tempo buy, you can buy this whenever but probably get it before you get a lane kill if you can help it. This'll help with rotating and ganks too!

Healbane

Healbane

Vitality T21,600 souls

My favorite of the bunch, buy if you're lane fighting a lot. Sell later for slotlock or better defense items or spirit burn. Sell later if slotlocked.

Spirit Lifesteal

Spirit Lifesteal

Vitality T21,600 souls

Feels great when you have points in lunge as you sustain. Useful for Infuser later if you're somehow slotlocked by then. Sell later for slotlock (unless you plan for Infuser) or better defense items

Reactive Barrier

Reactive Barrier

Vitality T21,600 souls

Buy if you're dealing with lots of CC. Sell later for slotlock or better defense items OR keep for a while if the cc is unbearable.

Core Items (L-R not bad)

T3 Ult after Boundless Spirit (19.6k). Pick Dispel or Warp Stone, sometimes both! At 30k souls you will have T3 Sigil and Stamina Mastery (assuming L>R). After or before Boundless, buy greens if ahead and if needed!

7 items
Warp StoneActive

Warp Stone

Vitality T33,200 souls

Slowing Hex now DISABLES this item. Keep in mind it is still solid but no more relying on it. Maybe sell it later? Swap out for another 3200 green item as needed!

Torment Pulse

Torment Pulse

Spirit T33,200 souls

Bread and butter damage. A must buy item on this character and it will help proc Mystic Vuln!

Boundless Spirit

Boundless Spirit

Spirit T46,400 souls

Good damage spike. This being your first T4 is crucial because of how hard his ult will hit with the new scaling.

Greater Expansion

Greater Expansion

Spirit T33,200 souls

I'm always a fan of this item, gives incredible range to all of your abilities and just ability to dodge in general.

Superior Cooldown

Superior Cooldown

Spirit T33,200 souls

CD is king on this character. Sometimes I do buy Witchmail before it though, depends on the situation.

Stamina Mastery

Stamina Mastery

Vitality T33,200 souls

Mobility is a must on this character!

Tankbuster

Tankbuster

Spirit T33,200 souls

Such a solid item now with the HP changes, if they have a Mo n' Krill or Abrams, consider buying sooner.

HR Substitutes

Optional

Read Annotations!

4 items
Extra Regen

Extra Regen

Vitality T1800 souls

Forgo Healing Rite (or Mystic Regen) and grab this in poke heavy lanes to outsustain and trade reasonably.

Headshot Booster

Headshot Booster

Weapon T1800 souls

Great poke and lane pressure. Buy this after Healing Rite. Sub this out for Close Range if the lane has melee damage (Viscous) or characters (Billy or Abrams). Changes to gun gives it a bit more value

Monster Rounds

Monster Rounds

Weapon T1800 souls

Use to counter-push a push-heavy lane (I.E. Geist, McG, etc) or use it to press the advantage against weak wave clearers.

Close Quarters

Close Quarters

Weapon T1800 souls

Good into Viscous, Billy, Abrams, Drifter, Yamato, Paige, punch heavy enemies, etc. Changes to Apollo gun gives it a bit more value!

Late Game (Interchangeable)

E-Shift is so strong, buy even in mid game.

5 items
Indomitable

Indomitable

Vitality T46,400 souls

Insane item and it builds from Reactive Barrier, in combination with Witchmail it could be insane!

Ethereal ShiftActive

Ethereal Shift

Spirit T46,400 souls

This will save you from basically all CC which is very common with the amount of slowing hexes I see the enemy apply.

Witchmail

Witchmail

Vitality T46,400 souls

Witchmail will basically increase your window in which you will not get hit because your cooldowns benefit your mobility. This item is a MUST BUY. But consider Unstoppable as prio if needed.

Spirit Burn

Spirit Burn

Spirit T46,400 souls

Best anti-heal, always take it. Sometimes you might need Witchmail before it though if healing isn't a huge issue.

Transcendent Cooldown

Transcendent Cooldown

Spirit T46,400 souls

At this point, you are well and above needing anything else, you will use this for infuser, witchmail, experimental, counterspell, etc. Buy this at the absolute end.

Situational/Skill Expression

Optional

Buy whenever, be cautious. 9 times out of 10 pick up Dispel Magic.

6 items
Mystic Reverb

Mystic Reverb

Spirit T46,400 soulsImbue

Proc'ing it on two lunges would be a nightmare for the enemy. Consider putting it on your ult since new scaling, this is strictly for if you are having fun.

Dispel MagicActive

Dispel Magic

Vitality T33,200 souls

People are very quickly catching on that silence shuts this character down. Consider this item maybe a must have. Even w/ SB it'll help. Buy instead of Warp Stone if needed.

Crippling Headshot

Crippling Headshot

Weapon T46,400 souls

Solid item for anti-heal and spirit shred and this will provide more than Mystic Vuln or EE. Do not buy if someone on your team (should be your gun carry) has or plans to have it.

Restorative LocketActive

Restorative Locket

Vitality T21,600 souls

Consider this item in combination with Dispel because it will give stamina back and healing so if you are pinched without Riposte and get hit with the slowing hex, it can help. Great into Mo n' Krill!

Silence WaveActive

Silence Wave

Spirit T33,200 souls

Use this to shutdown a character to prevent escape, deal damage, or burst them before they can do anything. More assassin style but good. This item was nerfed, it is super situational now!

Counterspell

Counterspell

Vitality T33,200 souls

What's more annoying than a spell deflect? Two spell deflects! Feels fantastic against Bebop bombs and Warden Cage now that it silences.

Defense/Survival

Optional

Buy Greens whenever ahead or see problems arise. Stick to buying Spirit if you need to hard carry your team and have a decent lead.

9 items
UnstoppableActive

Unstoppable

Vitality T46,400 souls

With the new changes, this item could arguably be required as ANY cc even the application of curse, will cancel your ult, odds are, if you are the problem, they will shut you down. This is a must buy.

InfuserActive

Infuser

Vitality T46,400 souls

These changes to his ult now make this item secondary to Unstoppable, consider buying this and selling Radiant Regen for it.

Spellbreaker

Spellbreaker

Vitality T46,400 souls

Build if they are REALLY obnoxious with spirit.

Plated Armor

Plated Armor

Vitality T46,400 souls

Build if they are REALLY obnoxious with gun. Works well into passives like Haze Fixation and Infernus Afterburn

Juggernaut

Juggernaut

Vitality T46,400 souls

Ruin every gun characters day. Generally only 1-2 people need this item, buy cautiously! You should be one of those people!

Spirit Resilience

Spirit Resilience

Vitality T33,200 souls

A solid mid game option as the value you are getting for a 3200 item is not bad, pick it up before Stamina Mastery if you need it.

Bullet Resilience

Bullet Resilience

Vitality T33,200 souls

Not as good as spirit resilience because of the lesser prevalance but gun in some matches but look into it +_plated or spellbreaker later.

Fortitude

Fortitude

Vitality T33,200 souls

Really strong sustain item, can be swapped for Warp Stone or Dispel Magic. Helps with staying in the match and rotating for ganks, jungle, etc.

Debuff Reducer

Debuff Reducer

Vitality T21,600 souls

This building into two great items works wonders to pick it up early. If they are buying Slowing Hex in lane, maybe take this over early sustain.

Gun Spikes

Optional

Read!

2 items
Spiritual Overflow

Spiritual Overflow

Weapon T46,400 souls

If the enemy team has not miraculously counter built you, this is your last slot, otherwise ignore it. You get great value after T3 Riposte stun. However, if you suspect it isn't needed, buy green.

Spellslinger

Spellslinger

Weapon T46,400 souls

Feels like crack in combination with Witchmail. Especially with Riposte stun.

Experimental

Optional

Am I cooking? Probably not.

12 items
Metal SkinActive

Metal Skin

Vitality T33,200 souls

The reduced mobility will suck but it beats getting gunned down while you're silenced or cursed or slowing hexed. Buy this into Haze when she gets unstoppable, you will thank me later.

Radiant Regeneration

Radiant Regeneration

Spirit T33,200 souls

Incredibly good survivability, consider this a mini-green item that you could pick up.

Arctic BlastActive

Arctic Blast

Spirit T46,400 souls

Not my favorite active item but it's solid for cc and damage.

Echo ShardActive

Echo Shard

Spirit T46,400 soulsImbue

Great sustain potential in combination with your other spirit items and mystic reverb.

Point Blank

Point Blank

Weapon T33,200 souls

Unfortunately, gun items are tertiary to this Apollo build (and in general) It's very good to keep enemies from running and if you bought Close Quarters instead of HB this is a nice upgrade.

Phantom StrikeActive

Phantom Strike

Vitality T46,400 souls

Anti-flier machine that turns Vindicta into souls.

Slowing HexActive

Slowing Hex

Spirit T21,600 souls

Become the villain that would normally ruin your day as Apollo.

ScourgeActive

Scourge

Spirit T46,400 souls

With the HP changes this is a solid item although I would say to have your support buy it for you if you possible.

Diviner's Kevlar

Diviner's Kevlar

Vitality T46,400 souls

If you find yourself using the ult too late, this could save you. It is good for the late game.

Superior Duration

Superior Duration

Spirit T33,200 souls

For the melee Apollo gamers.

ColossusActive

Colossus

Vitality T46,400 souls

For the melee Apollo gamers.

Escalating Exposure

Escalating Exposure

Spirit T46,400 souls

With how many stacks you will proc with your items, it'll hurt.

Melee

Optional

Consider Spirit Snatch if you need Spirit Shred.

5 items
Spirit Strike

Spirit Strike

Spirit T1800 souls

I'm iffy with this item personally, but it is useful for lane fights, it fulfills the same purpose as Headshot Booster, you'll probably sell it later. Look at Tip #1 at the bottom of the build!

Melee Lifesteal

Melee Lifesteal

Vitality T1800 souls

Early lane sustain at a cheaper price. Look at Tip #1 at the bottom of the build to see how you can use this item! Grab instead of Mystic Regen?

Lifestrike

Lifestrike

Vitality T33,200 souls

Consider leveling riposte to T2 instead of Sigil to T2 in the build path. Buy in place of Warp Stone or Stamina Mastery.

Spirit Snatch

Spirit Snatch

Spirit T33,200 souls

With new changes, consider picking this up if your ripostes land and you get some solid melee + follow up with Sigil. Buy in replacement of Radiant Regen.

Crushing Fists

Crushing Fists

Weapon T46,400 souls

Kinda silly but this can act as your gun investment late game and you'll have T3 Riposte by then so it'll have value.

You got to the bottom of my Dissertation!

Optional

Have an egg!
