RIP Trophy
Optional2,400 Souls
Sprint BootsDo not rush this, grab if you're building Trophy Collector (you can get them whenever you want to gank or just for regen even)
Trophy CollectorTrophy Collector is still a good item for Ivy but you need to be more confident you'll be collecting stacks quickly. If you don't get this, spend another 3200 on green elsewhere.b b

Mid Core
8,000 SoulsL->R - get Trophy during/before this section if at all
Improved SpiritEasy, cheap upgrade - Skip this and sell Extra Spirit if you need space for more optionals
Mystic SlowCore part of your kit and great support - Lightning Scroll isn't a huge upgrade for you though
Mystic VulnerabilityProbably the easiest way to help your team, and very useful for damage - upgrades into your best late item
Slowing HexYou need it eventually Vortex Web, and very good for hitting Kudzu - particularly worth for [Infernus, Lash, Wraith, Dynamo, Calico, Abrams, Mina]
Compress CooldownImbue on 1 - Get this earlier if you're constantly running out (but this also means you're using Kudzu too often, save for fights)

Common Optionals
Optional13,600 SoulsL->R for priority, skip "Best Options" for slots if needed
SuppressorGood if they have more than one bullet carry (which is fairly common) - otherwise skip
Debuff ReducerUseful. Especially good if you need remover [Infernus, Shiv, Pocket, Mo & Krill]
Dispel MagicStrong item especially for [Infernus, Shiv, Bebop, Seven, Warden, Vindicta]
Mystic BurstIf you're feeling unsupported this can help win 1v1 and secure kills, upgrade later if they're tanky
TankbusterReally nice to have and now bypasses resistence! Get when they have 2.8-3K HP on more than one person.
HealbaneGood in most games [Geist, Mo & Krill, Dynamo, Kelvin, Calico, Abrams, Infernus, Pocket, Lash] can be sold for Spirit Burn. Skip if they have no healing or you need other optionals
Reactive BarrierGreat item if you're in a lane that procs it

Late Core
12,800 SoulsL->R
Rapid RechargeOnly worth rushing earlier if you have Compress Cooldown already and have 2.4K but not 3.2K. Otherwise wait till you're done with Mid Core.
Alchemical FireI love Kudzu Bomb 2! BUT if you need loads of optionals (especially actives) or resists you can skip or sell later, but you miss out on the 4800 threshold
Greater ExpansionGreat for your entire kit, BUT you can delay till you've started SCRAMBLING TIME if you're confident in your aim/timing - get as soon as you have Vortex or Spirit Burn at latest though
Superior CooldownGood upgrade - now more important to upgrade again if you have actives (and if you don't have many you can delay this IF you're desperate for more damage

SCRAMBLING TIME
44,800 SoulsRead tooltips for first 3 but L->R ish - consider Defence items as needed
Escalating ExposureIf you don't need movement control or better anti-heal, I think this is the best T4 to grab
Vortex WebIf you need to lock their team down, particularly [Lash, Dynamo, Calico, Mina, Wraith] grab this as your first T4
Spirit BurnGet first (or even rush) if you're struggling to out damage the healing on their team, or they just have tons of it
Transcendent CooldownThis can be bought whenever really, but I think after V Web or Spirit Burn is fine, earlier if you have lots of optional actives
Lightning ScrollIt's a good item (and an upgrade so good for space) but lower priority that everything to the left, unless you need more ways to interupt as a team.
Boundless SpiritThis gives you lots more damage, but usually the game isn't going on long enough to afford this (and the rest of the build)
RefresherGood item, LONG cooldown. Get Transcendent Cooldown first, and only worth getting earlier than other T4s if fights are very long, or it's going to be the last fight of the game

Bullet Defence
Optional17,600 Souls
Weapon Shielding
JuggernautBest item here - particularly good paired with Bullet Resillience if you're still dying - also weirdly good against melee damage?
Plated ArmorIf you're getting killed by additional bullet effects this can be neccesary [Infernus & Haze] in particular
Metal SkinThis is really just an anti-[Haze] item, and you can just stun her with Gargoyle unless she has unstoppable

Spirit Defence
Optional17,600 Souls
Spirit Shielding
Spirit ResilienceGet if they're almost all Spirit and you keep dying. But your build has Spirit Resist already, so maybe just position better, dummy <3
SpellbreakerBuy for [Lash, Grey Talon] or other huge burst damage, or if you need more Debuff Resist
ScourgeAdaptable but takes practice - usually better to get something else or buy this to save your team's stronger people (if you're weak)
