    Laning Counter Build

    Optional8,000 Souls

    If the cat wants to not burst the line, basically must get one

    1. RebuttalRebuttalElbow Strike is the greatest father; against Bull, Sheep, Bubble, and those who love to elbow, this is a must-have.
    2. Spirit ShieldingSpirit ShieldingIf the enemy has high spirit burst (like Lash and Dahe), get this for survival and counterattacks. Once you get the shield, you can go in for health recovery.
    3. Reactive BarrierReactive BarrierIf the enemy has a lot of control (like Blue Bull Haze), getting this will basically keep you from being too passive, and even counterattacking will be more than enough.
    4. Weapon ShieldingWeapon ShieldingAgainst Wolf Girl or dual-gun positions, you can get this, but it's not a high priority. It's better to build other items since this shield is harder to trigger compared to other burst and control.
    5. SuppressorSuppressorDual-gun positions can get this; -28% attack speed can still relieve lane pressure.
    6. Rusted BarrelRusted BarrelIf it's a support and a gun position, you can get this, only for the gun position. Once revealed, go in, disrupt last hits and poke.

    Common Small Items

    Optional8,800 Souls

    Don't save, get it if you need it

    1. Healing RiteHealing RiteIf you're low just get it, I mean does anyone understand repeating big potions? More kills in lane, but if you get a kill streak and then get killed once it evens out, so don't be low health and roami
    2. Extra HealthExtra HealthThe sheriff's grace is not over yet!!!
    3. Sprint BootsSprint BootsCan you let me run out of the hook, Sheriff?
    4. Cheat DeathCheat DeathThe cat's damage is too low this version, suggest to supplement this and also bring some snacks to use skills, feels more effective than pure AP, but depends on whether your teammates are normal

    Time to get new snacks

    1. Disarming HexDisarming Hex
