Early Game
First buy Headshot Booster to increase your poke.
Next buy High-Velocity Mag to give you more consistent poke with your right click.
Extra Health and Close Quarters both help you not get one shot by enemy burst damage and all ins while also making you stronger in duels.
Extra Regen and Sprint Boots are your main sources for sustaining in lane.
Slowing Hex, Divine Barrier and Fleetfoot are your main core for running down enemies in the mid game.
Mid Game
After buying your early game items it’s time to become stronger, Quicksilver Reload imbued on Crimson Slash and Bullet Resist Shredder will give you enough damage to get things rolling.
Duration Extender is great for giving you an extra edge in duels.
Now that all your slots are filled, save up for Headhunter, this item is your biggest power spike in the mid game. Followed by Pristine Emblem.
Heroic Aura should be your first Flex Slot purchase, combining this with your other actives lets you become a racecar.
Upgrade Enduring Speed if you lack flex slots.
Bullet Lifesteal is a very good item in this build allowing you to sustain and become extra tanky during Shadow Transformation, sell Extra Regen if lacking slots.
Late Game
Hunter's Aura should be your second Flex Slot purchase, this item is the best item in the game when it comes to dueling others.
If you are strapped for slots you can upgrade Close Quarters into Point Blank, Duration Extender into Superior Duration , make sure to imbue Shadow Transformation.
Fortitude should be your third flex slot option.
If you have too much money you can consider some of the following items:
Glass Cannon - This is the best item for increasing your raw damage.
Inhibitor - Since slows in this game stack, this will make your opponents unable to move.
Situational and Luxury Items
Reactive Barrier is a great item to rush against CC heavy team comps, buying this over Bullet Lifesteal is a viable option.
Toxic Bullets and Healbane are necessary against teams with high amounts of healing.
