Mystic BurstAlso adds hundreds of healing to each Scorn, but only when Scorn has 2 upgrades. Your second sold item if you need slots
Quicksilver ReloadAdds hundreds of healing to each Scorn. Rush this before Monster Rounds if you are healthy enough to save. Start trying to Scorn the enemies as much as possible.
Sprint BootsUpgrade this to Enduring Speed earlier if vs certain characters with lots of slows, such as Kelvin.
Trophy CollectorSell if you need a slot late game, it does feel bad to lose the movespeed so I usually sell it for Enduring Speed and Juggernaut
Cold FrontUse while burrowed to set up for your unburrow, or just use it while spinning. Use on tier 1 camps with Scorn to clear them instantly
Extra SpiritSell if you do not need it for Tankbuster, if you need the slot, sell it and delay tankbuster upgrade
Healbane
Torment Pulse
Warp StoneThis is Mo's best movement item in my opinion. You can use warp stone while burrowed to get on top of 1-story buildings and ridges. This expands Mo's getaway angles exponentially.

Early Optional
Optional2,400 Souls
Return FireDon't let the cost of the item bait you, this is a late game counter item to teams with many M1's. Should use while burrowed or while ulting. Having resistances makes this item better.
RebuttalPretty much a guaranteed kill if you parry bait someone, but will only work once per person at most. Beyond that, melee resist feels very good since the burrow nerf.

Late Game Common Options
Optional49,600 SoulsSell Healbane and/or Quicksilver Reload for extra late game items
UnstoppableA good counter item to Dynamo if he keeps ulting your team. Very strong combo item with Cheat Death.
Debuff Reducer
Dispel MagicAlmost always a buy. Necessary vs Knockdowns, Decays, Seven 2, Infernus, Knife Shiv, Mirage, Haze, etc.
Cheat DeathCheat Death+Unstoppable+Superior Duration = Someone is getting held for a long time. Build this vs fed Shiv's now that it beats Killing Blow
WitchmailCan be decent into Infernus and Victor? Not a great item imo
Cursed Relic
Spellbreaker
Escalating ExposureGives damage to whole team, and a little resist.
Echo ShardImbue Burrow if they are never pulling you out, imbue sandblast if many M1s

Vit Items
Optional52,800 SoulsLeft to right, more common to less common
Bullet ResilienceBuy when needed, can buy at any point in the game. Generally bullet resist is less needed than spirit resist because of burrow. But if you are getting pulled out of burrow consistently may be needed.
Metal Skin
Diviner's KevlarAn item to buy if you are weaker and want your ults to be better. Cheaper, but worse, than getting Unstoppable and Cheat Death
Phantom StrikeA good item to buy the enemies are playing outside of Warp Stone+Dash Range constantly
JuggernautGreat item versus certain heros, like Haze, Infernus, Wraith, and Mirage. I sometimes delay Scourage to buy this sooner depending on the enemy team.
Indomitable
Veil WalkerVERY GOOD ITEM IF YOU GET USED TO USING IT
Colossus
Reactive BarrierCan be a life saver vs quick stuns such as Abrams Charge, not incredibly needed vs Bebop since you can use burrow after being hooked anyways
Radiant Regeneration
Plated Armor

Slowing Hex
Enduring SpeedCan buy this sooner if vs many slows (Kelvin, Viscous, etc.) Or if it helps you secure Unsecured Souls before a fight
