   Laning

   9,600 Souls

   build order for the entire build can be L->R but it would be prudent to be aware when items need to be skipped if you're behind or think may not be applicable to the game state/comp.

   1. Extra Chargefirst buy unless you're a psycho like me
   2. ›Extra Regenlife is pain
   3. ›Monster Roundsi personally dont like spending 800 for minion dps but also i lose lane almost every game so maybe thats on me; absolutely first sell
   4. ›Extended Magazinei miss like 85% of my shots, i need the ammo
   5. ›Healing Boosterthis guy explodes so fast, you need so much healing just to Exist
   6. ›Improved Spiritfeels really nice early on 1 and 2. Buy extra spirit if you're really getting your shit pushed in
   7. ›Bullet Lifesteallifesteal that doesn't hurt you
   8. ›Quicksilver Reloadfaster reload and very natural to use towards the end of your clip if you aren't engaging with it.

   That weird 4-9 minute liminal period after lane where winning lanes roam and losing lanes start using slurs

   19,200 Souls
   1. Titanic Magazineim really not joking im the breed of human that regularly misclicks youtube videos. Sell after merc magnum. Mandatory sell after spellslinger.
   2. ›Enduring Speedfat fuck Victor. Really helps him stick to the enemy.
   3. ›Spirit Lifestealit feels nice buying cheap items at this point and berserker really hurts to proc with 3. Offsets the self damage enough to warrant 1600 pre-leech
   4. ›Greater Expansionfeels really nice on his 3, would argue mandatory since it just gives you a larger presence in the teamfight.
   5. ›Rapid Rechargebuy early if you're really REALLY eating shit. Would consider selling hyper late if you just Need a slot and you have t3 2.
   6. ›Leechhonestly, I would probably rush this item before anything else in this list but that's really greedy. But hybrid heal feels really nice on him, you literally dont take self damage if you hit 3 enemies
   7. ›Healbaneyou are the ideal candidate to apply healbane because of your fart cloud but will smother you later due to slots. Pray your team is sentient enough to buy this or other healcut sources.

   I saw NL play this game once i think

   1. Extra Staminaschmovement, buy early if you swing that way
   2. ›Stamina Masteryim addicted to IADing so I usually pick this
   3. ›Kinetic DashPeople swear by this item but the lack of an extra stamina bar just feels so much worse than -25% fire rate. Also t1 ult just gives you 15% on its ludicrous cd so...
   4. ›Arcane Surgeim being so fr rn, this doesn't proc on his 1 in the hideout. idk why or if it also doesn't proc in game but I'm not willing to try and find out. Do with this information what you will.

   Mid Game Damage Block

   19,200 Souls

   realistically, you should only get one, MAYBE two, of these items. After a certain point, you just need t4 items.

   1. Berserkeryou reliably stack this after 4s of your 3 with just extra charge and improved spirit. Geist levels of item abuse when you get real healing
   2. ›Point Blankyou're literally running at their faces and want them within 9m.
   3. ›Ballistic Enchantmentdisgusting item on 3. Free mystic expansion and anywhere between 20%-160% weapon damage if you somehow hit everyone and 8 npcs.
   4. ›Torment Pulsenot as mandatory as other builds but still nice since it's free damage and relatively cheap
   5. ›Spirit Rendmore lifesteal and damage in your fart cloud. Pivots a bit harder into spirit hybrid.
   6. ›Toxic Bulletsunique healcut source if no one else on your team has it.

   Counterplay

   Optional16,000 Souls

   sucks they take up a slot but let's be real, you do more damage if you stay alive longer.

   1. CounterspellI never use it right but it's objectively the most broken item in the game.
   2. ›Metal Skinanti-mostannoyingcharactersinDeadlock item
   3. ›Knockdownyou're not reaching that vindicta from here.
   4. ›Silence Wave52m with greater expansion is crazy.
   5. ›Disarming HexI can't believe Haze players have the same civil rights as me.

   Hyper-late

   51,200 Souls

   buy as many of these items as you can. The only non-t4 items you should have after, like, 50 minutes (god forbid) is greater expansion, a t3 damage item, and MAYBE stamina mastery if you really can't keep up with their mobile characters

   1. Siphon Bulletsheal-cut this, dumbass.
   2. ›Boundless Spiritit's SOOOOOO much damage
   3. ›Spellslingeryou're spamming 1 enough to warrant. Also lets you sell any ammo-related item
   4. ›Mercurial Magnumououghuogh damage... also cheap...
   5. ›Escalating Exposuretruly an inherently revolting item. It's my favorite in the entire Deadlock shop.
   6. ›Healing Tempofunctionally +35% fire rate on-hit after Siphon Bullets. Gives you something to spend your souls on later if its 40mins or your choked on slots.
   7. ›Juggernautgood against gun carries but its another thing to sink your souls into if need be.
   8. ›RefresherIt's literally a third life which lets you play super belligerently to pop your ult and get your fire rate + on-hit spirt. Pop when you're about to explode.

   Funny

   Optional48,000 Souls

   gotta learn itemization to actually know when to buy these

   1. Bullet Resist Shreddervery funny that your ult t1 bullets lower their bullet resist. But also just good for your fart cloud
   2. ›Fleetfootnice movement speed active and the shooting move speed penalty feels so bad when you're a fat fuck like victor. Sadly there are only ten item slots in Deadlock, though.
   3. ›Bullet Resiliencewhen I just can't be fucked to bother with defensive actives.
   4. ›Spirit Resiliencewhen I just can't be fucked to bother with defensive actives.
   5. ›Radiant Regenerationreally debated putting this in the build proper. With a lot of spirit, it feels nice on 1 cast and you get a lot of passive regen in fights. Still somewhat of a shitpost item tbqh.
   6. ›Burst FireI played a lot of gun Graves and this was core on her. I don't play vyper so I can't abuse the slide as much. Decent fire rate steroid if you can't wait for spellslinger.
   7. ›Ethereal Shiftthis is just a personal favorite of mine. Only consider if you're more spirit than hybrid and get blown up fast.
   8. ›Capacitorevil tech: capacitor someone you're hugging right before you die to guarentee a hit on ult. May be overindulgent with ult slow, tho.
   9. ›Witchmailthis basically procs on cd after 18 minutes or so.
   10. ›Cheat Deathit's funny but it sucks.
   11. ›Transcendent Cooldowncdr is usually a nice QoL for Victor with his long ult cd and passive 1 generation but this build kind of revolves around the idea his t1 ult is good. So less cdr means more cd means more t1.
