Seven is a powerhouse character that will quickly decimate anyone that stands in his way. With his extremely strong weapon damage and gigantic ult he is a walking lightning ball of death that can deal massive AOE or single target damage.
Early Game
First, buy Basic Magazine and Extra Regen to help sustain the lane. Since his weapon is a burst weapon, this helps you have enough bullets to harass and last hit/confirm.
Ammo Scavenger is now really strong, due to recent buffs and since it works on jungle camps, we will now greatly benefit from its increased Spirit and Magazine Size.
Extra Spirit, Hollow Point Rounds and Infuser will help bandage our early sustain in the jungle and when we’re taking early engagements.
Extra Health and Enduring Spirit are the best items we can buy early to help our tankiness.
Mid Game
Next you MUST save up for Tesla (aim to buy around 7 minutes) to increase farm and wave-clear speed which will help you get the rest of your core items. It also has great synergy with Power Surge which debuffs lightning resist at lvl 1.
Both Active Reload and Slowing Bullets with Fleetfoot will give us the power we need to help run down our opponents. Sell Hollow Point Rounds if we don’t have a slot.
Spirit Lifesteal will help with sustaining in the jungle and in teamfights.
Late Game
Ethereal Shift is an amazing first late game buy to help dodge strong engages and gives us a quick reload and spirit boost to help counter-attack
Next we want to focus on our late game spirit items like Surge of Power as most of our damage comes from spirit.
Finally round out with Improved Bullet and Spirit Armor which will help improve our overall durability.
Luxury Items + Situational Items
Since Seven typically wants the game to go late we will want to get Unstoppable so our ult doesn’t get canceled while we channel it.
Seven has a lot of options if he’s rich. You can go for Leech, Soul Shredder, and Majestic Leap which have strong synergies and are reasonable. Or you can be ridiculous and go all out with the expensive Refresher to have 2 ults during important teamfights.
As always, Debuff Reducer to help deal with DoT or CC or Warp Stone can be used as a quick mobility tool to help escape dangerous fights or gain verticality and cast your ultimate.
