6,400 Souls

All item notes

Monster Rounds — the troopers can be quite annoying at times and cultist sacrifice is good if you get to upgrade it
Extra Regen — you're squishy, it can be useful
Melee Lifesteal — for healing when you're in a pinch, you're always in close proximity to attack anyways
Sprint Boots — speed is important considering the need to slide often
Healing Rite — just passive healing if you manage to find a moment in the back lines
Rebuttal — if there's an abrams, billy or just anyone meleeing too much on the enemy team on the enemy team
Extra Charge — Honestly was pretty useless previously but might be better now that skull damage is slightly buffed
Mystic Regeneration — skulls can proc this so it's alright

All item notes

High-Velocity Rounds — why
Mystic Burst — only your wall and zombies can proc this so definitely not reliable
Mystic Expansion — zombie search range isn't really worth it
Spirit Strike — not useful at all
Rusted Barrel — I guess you can get it if there's a weapon carry you wanna fuck over

All item notes

Intensifying Magazine — Isn't it convenient that continuously firing your weapon is what you always do. Good item.
Slowing Bullets — Making sure they can't escape your grasp
Titanic Magazine — Great for not running out of ammo between slide resets
Swift Striker — flat fire rate upgrade, nothing to say other than ''it's good''
Stalker — You usually have to slide inside enemies anyways so it's good
Kinetic Dash — Extra stamina is always good
Active Reload — honestly, if you can pay attention to this then it's great. I keep forgetting I have this lol
Fleetfoot — extra slide distance and move speed penalty being gone helps you chase better(or run away and attack)
Spirit Shredder — your bullets apply a debuff that increases the damage of your bullets further!(if you have mercurial magnum/quicksilver reload)
Bullet Lifesteal — Great early round survivability item
Healbane — Honestly a must have for nearly every game with how many people relying on lifesteal in street brawl
Battle Vest — Bonus weapon damage and fire rate, find me where the bad part is
Enduring Speed — Speed is good, you have very little mobility
Reactive Barrier — Considering Graves' pathetic stamina, this helps you get out of a pickle quite well
Spirit Shielding — When you're getting bullied by spirit carries
Weapon Shielding — When you're getting bullied by weapon carries
Spirit Lifesteal — Mercurial magnum/quicksilver reload/skull lifesteal. Pretty good just from the first two honestly
Bullet Resist Shredder — very good items, literally everything you do deals spirit damage on the side anyways
Arcane Surge — Extra stamina is always good
Improved Spirit — spirit is good, spirit is great

Split Shot — It's alright, can be great for team fights or clearing out waves.
Recharging Rush — You already have a ton of souls to play around with in Street Brawl but round 1 can be rough so get it if you want
Mystic Shot — Honestly my favorite item when it's enhanced
Opening Rounds — To be honest, never tried it. Prolly good tho
Debuff Reducer — if the enemy has a lot of slowers n stuff that mess with your sliding
Healing Booster — increasing your lifesteal and healing from death pick ups is good
Enchanter's Emblem — Generall an alright item, could be better but y'know
Return Fire — It's alright if you got good enough survivability
Guardian Ward — ''screw you guys, I'll shield myself''
Mystic Slow — Slow them down even more!
Mystic Vulnerability — Increase your mercurial magnum/quicksilver reload damage or be a good sport to your spirit damage dealing teammates
Duration Extender — gives you enough time to spawn one more zombie. Being a nuisance for longer is always fun
Slowing Hex — get it if you hate Mina and Apollo, not really useful otherwise tho
Cold Front — Good for making sure your victims can't escape your suck

9,600 Souls

All item notes

Long Range — this only procs for range above 15 meters. Your max range is 17 meters. You're never gonna use this
Melee Charge — Not that useful, you're not gonna melee often when sliding and sucking
Restorative Locket — It's meh. But it's alright when enhanced
Compress Cooldown — I'm not a fan of compress cooldown
Spirit Sap — meh, don't even have an explanation for this
Suppressor — I guess if they have a lot of weapon carries it can be good? I don't care for it tho

Cool tier 3 items

48,000 Souls

All item notes

Escalating Resilience — Overall great damage on top of being a good counter to weapon carries
Heroic Aura — fun fact: your skulls and zombies count as minions! So make sure to pop this right after throwing your skulls and engaging
Hollow Point — Great item, weapon damage and resistance shred is always appreciated
Point Blank — same as close quarters. It nearly always procs due to Graves' max range. Really good
Tesla Bullets — pretty good for pushing waves quickly
Toxic Bullets — Very good anti-heal option, a must have against teams with lots of healing(AKA most teams in Street Brawl)
Berserker — You're already smashing yourself head first into the enemy. It just keeps giving you buffs as you do so!
Bullet Resilience — You played this game, you know this guy.
Spirit Resilience — You played this game, you know this guy.
Counterspell — Best item in the game, no one can tell me otherwise. Grab it if they have any stunners or one large hit characters
Fortitude — Extra health and regeneration is always appreciated. Good item
Dispel Magic — Get it if you really hate Bebop or Infernus, or you keep getting anvil'd
Stamina Mastery — Check your stamina bar, this is fantastic.
Superior Cooldown — Cooldown reduction is always great
Surge of Power — attack and movement speed buff? Yeah, it's a no brainer. Get it

33,600 Souls

All item notes

Express Shot — Your single bullet damage isn't really good enough to make this worth it
Sharpshooter — literally why would you want this. Check your max range
Weighted Shots — movement speed and stamina recovery down is generally something we don't want. It could be good if enhanced tho
Fury Trance — Stops you from being able to slide, rendering it completely useless
Rescue Beam — If you're REALLY desperate for self healing I guess
Majestic Leap — why would you need to jump, get your knees back on the floor
Trophy Collector — None of these buffs really help that much except sprint speed I guess? There are al ot of better options tho
Greater Expansion — don't really have any good uses for it
Spirit Snatch — no time for punching, keep sliding!
Silence Wave — This is purely out of bias, I just don't like Silence Wave
Tankbuster — You don't have anything that can reliably trigger it enough to make it worth it

Okay tier 3 items

54,400 Souls

All item notes

Ballistic Enchantment — None of Graves' abilities reliably hit multiple targets but the wall can still make this decently worth it
Alchemical Fire — Just chuck it at em, great for activating mystic vul/escalating exposure too
Blood Tribute — Never got the hang of this item, but it's really good so would recommend.
Cultist Sacrifice — Enhanced cultist sacrifice is absolutely fantastic, get it if you see it enhanced
Hunter's Aura — it's pretty good, you generally won't find anyone alone in Street Brawl so you often won't get the full value out of it
Healing Nova — it's alright for emergency team healing a bit
Lifestrike — Good if you need health quickly in a pinch
Metal Skin — Why yes I do hate Silver and Vindicta! How did you know?
Veil Walker — Good for making escapes and emergency heals
Warp Stone — Great for getting the hell out of danger or jumping right into it, definitely not a priority
Disarming Hex — Not really needed unless a weapon carry is REALLY annoying you
Decay — Healing reduction is great, just chuck it at someone's face before engaging them
Knockdown — Great counter for bebop/seven/vindicta/haze/dynamo or just anyone with seraphim wings
Rapid Recharge — It wasn't really needed until the skull buffs, now it's alright. Still not really needed
Superior Duration — Even MORE time for your zombies to harass people
Radiant Regeneration — you can't cast skills often enough to make the best out of this but it's still pretty decent.
Torment Pulse — You're gonna be sliding close to the enemies anyways so it's good extra damage

128,000 Souls

All item notes

Capacitor — Cripple them! Remove their inability to run away from you!
Glass Cannon — It's really funny, even funnier if it's enhanced! Take the gamble
Lucky Shot — pretty damn good considering you're constantly sucking
Ricochet — Ever wanted to clear a whole way in 2 seconds or melt the entire enemy team during a team fight? now you can!
Silencer — Generally just a great item especially since you can silence multiple people with it
Spiritual Overflow — Really good item for general buffs
Cheat Death — Still busted as hell, can keep you in the fight long enough to escape or heal back
Colossus — Personal favorite with Graves. Since you're sliding into enemies, the resistances are really good
Inhibitor — Very good item for crippling enemy damage and healing. Ideal with your essence theft
Juggernaut — Allow you to start sliding from just walking if you have it enhanced, also stops your slides from getting interrupted as much
Plated Armor — Bullet resillience but better, no brainer against weapon damage carries
Siphon Bullets — You can steal the max hp of not one but TWO enemies at the same time. Great item
Spellbreaker — I hate Lash/Yamato/Bebop/Pocket
Vampiric Burst — Great for further extending your mercurial magnum with extra ammo and bullet lifesteal is great
Infuser — Great for increasing your lifesteal via mercurial magnum. It helps a lot more than you think!
Unstoppable — Stops you from getting knocked off your slide. Slide is sacred, protect the slide.
Boundless Spirit — E S S E N C E T H E F T
Echo Shard — great for double stuns or billion skulls. Depends on what you like and whether the enemy team is too stupid to punch the skulls
Focus Lens — for instantly melting any single target of your choice
Transcendent Cooldown — Cooldown reduction for both skills and items. You're a big boy, you can figure out why this is great

Okay tier 4 items

67,200 Souls

All item notes

Frenzy — You generally don't want to be below 50% hp, but it can help you turn the tides in a pinch
Shadow Weave — Good luck ambushing people with your stamina, but the buffs are still good so it's viable
Armor Piercer — Bullet velocity does not do anything but bullet resistance ignoring is great
Divine Barrier — Good for removing infernus burn or bebop bombs
Witchmail — You can get it if you wanna throw out abilities more often but it's not really mandatory
Cursed Relic — the damage debuff is something you definitely do not want, but desperate times call for desperate measures if they have a hyper carry
Escalating Exposure — great for increasing mercurial magnum damage and helping your team take down the enemy faster
Refresher — double ult is funny. 500 zombies
Spirit Burn — if you can proc it then it's fantastic
Arctic Blast — once again, good for stopping those you're chasing down
Ethereal Shift — It's alright if you need a breather mid-battle but it's not really something that can turn the tides. Great for escaping bebop bombs or certain ults tho

64,000 Souls

All item notes

Crushing Fists — No punchies, just slide
Spellslinger — You don't throw out enough abilities to make this worth it
Diviner's Kevlar — you can use it for an absolute emergency shield with your ult but that's super situational
Phantom Strike — Can't think of a good reason to have this other than taking down vindictas
Healing Tempo — does not proc with T1 jar so it's useless
Magic Carpet — it's really funny, but not useful on graves
Mystic Reverb — You don't have any abilities that deal big damage often enough to make this worth it
Scourge — I guess you can cast it on your tank if you wanna be a good sport
Vortex Web — You don't really have a use for this
Lightning Scroll — Does not proc with grasping hand zombies and your ult zombies are easily avoidable so not worth it
