Bruiser Billy by rina

285660

A Billy build that I've had the most success on. Focusing on max survivability with the most efficient gun and spirit items.

Close Quarters for some early melee resistance and some early damage.

Stalker has excellent synergy with Blasted and allows for some really good chasing and kill pressure.

Both the Shield items such as Spirit Shielding and Weapon Shielding got massively buffed and are amazing on bruisers.

Now opting out for strong aura items such as Hunter's Aura and Alchemical Fire as the current meta supports large AoE items heavily, especially on the Urn.

Spirit Snatch has great synergy with Bashdown.

Now going Diviner's Kevlar as Billy needs the duration for his 5AP Unstoppable upgrade and offers a large burst of HP in the lategame.

Matching that with Scourge as large AoE Items are premier value currently.

Siphon Bullets for some healing during combat as well.

Plated Armor to have defense against heavy gun characters.

Healing Rite for dangerous lanes.

Slowing Hex against movement heavy heroes like Apollo or Lash.

Torment Pulse can be replaced with Silence Wave for even more instant damage.
