Street Brawl Paige + Gun Options

1

Top choice Tier 1s

5,600 Souls

you'll only see a couple of these, take what you want

All item notes

Mystic Burst — great early burst, actually better than tankbuster
Extra Charge — always helpful in the early game
Mystic Expansion — put on 3
Extra Spirit — not a prio tier 1 pick, looking to upgrade
Healing Rite — not as good in streetbrawl but good upgrade potential; see enhanced? take enhanced
Extra Stamina — stam buff made this less desirable but it's a good bonus item
Sprint Boots — solid choice, but looking to upgrade to trophy collector if you pick this in round 1

2

Early Game desperation

Optional4,000 Souls

Mid Tier 1s

All item notes

Rusted Barrel — works well on literally anyone shooting faster than you want them to be, better if you have gun carries on your team
Rebuttal — calico, abrams, billy, viscous counter
Extra Regen — really aiming for healing booster
Spirit Shredder — not ideal but not a terrible item, definitely not a bad bonus item

3

Tier 2s that work through round 5

12,800 Souls

All item notes

Arcane Surge — all stamina is good stamina; this can allow you to skip the expansions
Bullet Resist Shredder — best if you have a lot of gun damage on your team, pay attention to how your teammates are building (or if you're building gun paige)
Mystic Vulnerability — better if upgraded but p much always worth picking up
Mystic Slow — good utility for helping your team catch people
Suppressor — vs shooty carries: vyper, wraith, haze, infernus, etc.
Healbane — vs anybody who heals way too much; geist, lash, rem, apollo
Guardian Ward — i find myself skipping this often, but it's a good bonus shield for when yours is on cd
Enchanter's Emblem — skippable most games, but it's a good item

4

Tier 2s that you're hoping to upgrade

4,800 Souls

All item notes

Compress Cooldown — the skill i put this on depends on my mood, usually 2 or 3
Duration Extender — put on 3
Improved Spirit — good choice, still looking to upgrade or as a bonus item, not really an outright pick

5

Tier 2 situationals

Optional4,800 Souls

All item notes

Healing Booster — i usually only take this if i already have rescue beam or healing nova; hoping to just get healing tempo otherwise
Slowing Hex — basically required vs apollo, good against lash, solid against anyone else with movement abilities (gt, vindicta, mirage, pocket, etc.)
Return Fire — bonus item or desperation pick vs. m1 carries only

6

Tier 3s you're really hoping for

28,800 Souls

All item notes

Rapid Recharge — this is something i take nearly every time it's offered, dragons are so good
Greater Expansion — this item is impactful for every skill (and item!) but especially 1 and 3; the more you practice without this item, the better your roots will be when you have it
Tankbuster — it's not a good early pick, but dragons can proc this by round 2, or as late as round 4 if you're unlucky
Surge of Power — put on 1 (if you are trying to play gun, make sure you look for this)
Superior Cooldown — if you see it, take it; still hoping to upgrade but t3 is good enough on its own
Superior Duration — good for dragon trail dps, root, and stun duration, but you can get away with skipping this item
Rescue Beam — can save 1 teammate from certain death (like dynamo ult)
Healing Nova — ability range + spirit power + healing = great item
Stamina Mastery — never touch the ground again

7

Tier 3 situationals

Optional14,400 Souls

All item notes

Radiant Regeneration — good hp regen, movement if you don't have any already (or even more if you do!), and good spirit investment; this item is in a great spot rn
Trophy Collector — take if you find this round 1 or 2; skip if you find it round 3+ unless your team is getting hella kills
Fortitude — if you can escape scraps, this is a good item, but i rarely take this
Warp Stone — good panic button, esp. if you can't get stam items or you're feeling aggro (GP)
Alchemical Fire — good for siege if your team struggles with it, but otherwise it does what your dragons do (re: clear wave), so it's not necessary

8

Tier 3 counterbuilds

Optional32,000 Souls

All item notes

Disarming Hex — vs vyper, wraith, infernus, haze, mirage, graves, mina, etc.
Decay — vs healing supports like kelvin & rem, but also good against healing tanks/carries like shiv, victor, and mo&krill
Silence Wave — i rarely take this item, but can shut fights down before they start or keep enemies from escaping
Knockdown — practically required if they have seven, bebop, vindicta, or gray talon; good vs dynamo if you can read his ult and yours is on cd
Torment Pulse — getting punched a lot and can't seem to find the parry window? don't worry, no shame, this item also does damage for you
Counterspell — vs any hard cc or big burst damage you can see coming; fun to use vs. drifter ult
Spirit Resilience — i take this item a lot
Bullet Resilience — i take this item almost never, but it's an important highlight
Metal Skin — tired of vyper shooting you? take this (good luck if she gets armor piercing rounds)
Dispel Magic — vs seven stun, bebop bomb, warden cage, shiv dagger, or any on-hit buildup like fixation or love bites

9

Tier 4s you're really hoping for

25,600 Souls

All item notes

Transcendent Cooldown — the best t4; works for items too
Refresher — what's better than 1 ult? 2 of course
Echo Shard — this item got NERFED but it's still worth mentioning, put on 2
Healing Tempo — even without nova/beam/locket, this will proc on your ult; it's a huge investment for 1 skill w/ your longest cd, so i usually only take if i have healing items too

10

Tier 4 gluttony

25,600 Souls

All item notes

Boundless Spirit — best if you have a bunch of spirit already, but can be worth taking early if you like to deal damage more than play healer
Escalating Exposure — has the potential to boost your damage by a TON with root + dragon
Spirit Burn — best in late game, items no longer proc this but if you're hitting your combos it'll proc, it's just more effort than it used to be
Mystic Reverb — great on 1

11

Tier 4 counterbuilds

Optional38,400 Souls

All item notes

Cursed Relic — good alternative to knockdown, damage penalty sucks but isn't game-breaking; take vs. victor 100% of the time
Vortex Web — use in tandem with 3
Witchmail — take vs DoT
Spellbreaker — still the best spirit resist item in the game; take vs. spirit bursty characters like lash, sinclair, dynamo, apollo, etc.
Juggernaut — be the tank you wish to see in the world
Plated Armor — just dodge the bullets, 4head

12

Tier 4 situationals

Optional51,200 Souls

All item notes

Arctic Blast — ok panic button, grants a brief chance to escape if being dived
Focus Lens — on-target silence + burst of damage when the effect ends; not a prio pick but not a bad one, good vs. carries who are decimating your team (wraith, drifter, shiv, etc.)
Lightning Scroll — unnecessary most games; notably good vs. mo & krill and dynamo imo
Ethereal Shift — last ditch effort to escape
Scourge — good if there's a lot of spirit dmg on the enemy team & you have a frontliner on yours (pretty much never self-cast)
Divine Barrier — fantastic item but not necessary every game; take vs DoT, on-hit buildup, and cc-heavy teams (pocket, seven, rem, drifter, infernus, mirage, etc.)
Cheat Death — last ditch effort to escape
Phantom Strike — sick of being hounded and feeling brave?

13

Gun Paige

Optional72,000 Souls

this build sucks, skill order remains the same (just cast your shield on yourself for the first round)

All item notes

Rapid Rounds — GP: round 1 or bonus item only; as tier 1s go
Restorative Shot — GP: free healing, although this falls off (but at least you're not worried about item slots)
Mystic Shot — GP: you're probably gonna get Some spirit throughout the game, this item is good
Fleetfoot — GP: move faster
Swift Striker — GP: you can potentially get this and burst fire, aim for both
Split Shot — GP: this item is silly; core, it's the Build Activator (tm)
Quicksilver Reload — GP: put on 1
Opening Rounds — GP: hey why does this item have spirit power on it??? america explain??
Intensifying Magazine — GP: if ur shootin a whole lot, this item is just... a no-brainer.
Recharging Rush — GP: more dragons (use with bullet resist shredder for maximum value); honestly this item is funny even outside the spirit build.
Burst Fire — GP: slide for days, never reload, shoot hella fast
Heroic Aura — GP: move faster 2 electric boogaloo (also Ok defensive stat on a short cooldown + firerate); buffs your minions for a rushed push, can take without going gun build
Ballistic Enchantment — GP: this item is funny, i put it on 1 but 3 should work too; if not going gun, it still works bc ability range is better of the stats here
Express Shot — GP: bullet velocity is king (arthur); this item is stupid when enhanced, try it out
Spirit Rend — GP: you're gonna be doing spirit damage regardless and i'd hope you'd only build gun if your team is super spirit-leaning already, so make it easier for them to do damage
Headhunter — GP: listen, idk why this item works because there's no special shiny number when you headshot, but it works.
Mercurial Magnum — GP: put on 1
Spellslinger — GP: charges = potential spellslinger character; this item by itself is very strong--they might nerf it so you should try it while it's good
Spiritual Overflow — GP: i think this item is under represented, these stats are jacked
Lucky Shot — GP: make your semi-formidable bullets actually formidable sometimes
Glass Cannon — GP: if you're building gun, you'll lose like 400 health max; pretty good exchange for perma stats
Crippling Headshot — GP: your bullets are huge, they pierce, and by the time you encounter this item your velocity and firerate should be boosted af so this is free

ON LEGENDARIES

149,985 Souls

my thoughts on each; L->R my preference

All item notes

Omnicharge Signet — i put this on shield because it gives that ability charges when it would normally have none, plus it still buffs dragon
Frostbite Charm — no brainer on dragon; why SHOULDN'T the dragon trail root? it's absurdly strong.
Celestial Blessing — this item is stupid. are you vs. pocket? drifter? take this item, your team will love you for it. anyone else? whatever, it's a free, massive heal on a 30s cooldown (at most!)
Mystic Conduit — if you're playing a spirit-heavy paige, this makes you support anyway, it's VERY good with the ability range and cdr.
Eternal Gift — good on literally everyone; the reduced respawn timer can allow you Some shenanigans, but for the most part follow the same course as everyone else: the longer the round, the better this item is.
Shrink Ray — this item is so uniquely strong it's hard to say no to; opponents can't hit what they can't see, right? best vs. m1 characters.
Mystical Piano — best with greater expansion; disables walker (!!!!) and is on a pretty short cooldown (especially with transcendant cd); it's very good.
Prism Blast — this item is stupid. best if you have boundless spirit, tankbuster, etc. (basically, more spirit than support)
Seraphim Wings — become pocket mercy; allows you to rain hell on the enemy with 1; it's pretty good, but not the best.
Haunting Shot — better mystic shot; very strong item in general, not ideal for paige.
Infinite Rounds — definitely not ideal but i can understand never wanting to reload ever again on this hero.
Shadow Strike — it's.......fine. push comes to shove? it'll do because it's a legendary. don't take over other prio items.
Runed Gauntlets — this item is funny; paige's melee is Very unique compared to the rest of the cast but it's not that good; don't take over other prio items.
Unstable Concoction — did a greedy reroll land you here? avoid it anyway. never worth it on this hero.
Electric Slippers — probably good on the gun build but whatever that build sucks, i usually reroll this.
