   1. Extra SpiritSmall boost
   2. ›Improved SpiritMedium boost
   3. ›Boundless SpiritVery strong boost. Nice to collect and gives almost x2 to spirit at the moment of purchase
   4. ›Spirit BurnFinishing off, mass damage + best anti-heal
   5. ›Greater Expansion
   6. ›Echo ShardKeeps the enemy controlled for about 3 seconds only with the cart, which is a lot for late game and equivalent to Mo&Krill's ultimate
   7. ›Cheat DeathWill always finish the ultimate animation, and combined with escaping through the door - won't die at all
   8. ›Vortex WebCan make a mess, but better not to take it too early, as enemies are usually not dumb enough to stand under Vortex and the cart under Walker, so early item gives little. (Maybe works better in low ran
   9. ›Transcendent CooldownGives not much and is expensive, but in late game an extra second can decide, so upgrade as the last slot
