Restorative ShotAlways make it the first item, it's the character with the best use of this item at the start, sell later
Monster RoundsBuy to push lane faster and be able to farm boxes and jungle, sell later
Extra StaminaStamina at the start is very important for her, always try to shoot while sliding to not waste ammo
Extra SpiritSpiritual power.... Not much to say.... But it's important for another item later
Active ReloadSince it takes her a while to collect the souls from the passive of the first ability, sometimes it becomes unfeasible to reload using "Quicksilver Reload" (Next item), you can sell later if you want,
Quicksilver ReloadItems for reloading are very important, she takes a long time to charge, you can choose to do before the "Active Reload" (previous item), but always do both.
Split ShotYou will be able to swap more easily in the middle of the wave, sometimes it happens to focus on the wrong minion or opponent (Sell later to make the Ricochet)

Mid core
29,600 Souls
Stamina MasteryYou will always prioritize shooting while sliding because of the ammo, use two to shoot and two to escape (Not a rule, but I recommend)
Toxic BulletsItem is essential for her, EVERY GAME will have some character on the other side that heals/lifesteals (literally every game)
RicochetTHE MOST IMPORTANT ITEM OF THE BUILD! Makes her a hell in fights dealing damage to three enemies at the same time and very good for pulling waves.
Rapid RoundsYou need to make the item to make the next one, nothing more to say.
Burst FireDIVINE item for Graves, always prioritizing shooting while sliding because of the high cooldown, this item allows you to slide for longer, shoot more, and move faster while shooting
Bullet LifestealThis item is for making the "Leech", do this component before the "Spirit Lifesteal" because of the ballistic lifesteal
Spirit LifestealIt's important for the "Leech" but prioritize making the "Bullet Lifesteal" first.
LeechThis item is very strong on Graves because of the high percentage of ballistic and spiritual lifesteal, increases your weapon damage, the passive of your third skill, and the damage of your abilities
Surge of PowerThis item is important to be infused in the same skill as the "Quicksilver Reload" because the skill now not only reloads your ammo but also makes you move and shoot faster

Late core
32,000 Souls
InhibitorAs written in the "Toxic Bullets", there will always be enemies that heal on the other team, preventing this healing + damage reduction is very strong.
Spiritual OverflowThis item is very good on her because it increases your firing speed (Combined with "Burst Fire" makes you a monster)
Mercurial MagnumNow the skill infused with this item's component reloads the ammo, makes you shoot faster, makes your bullets reloaded by the skill deal spiritual damage and increases spiritual damage
SpellslingerThis item combined with the previous one is very good for her, especially if you sold the "Active Reload"
SilencerThis item is extremely overpowered not only because of the passives (which are quite strong), but also because of the stats it gives, 15% spiritual resistance on a damage item is something divine.

Late alternatives (damage)
Optional19,200 Souls
CapacitorIt and the "Ricochet" do almost the same thing in the passive, while the active is quite strong but unnecessary if you've already made the "Silencer"
Siphon BulletsHas A LOT OF VALUE late game against characters with a lot of health like Abrams, Lady Geist, and Mo & Krill
Lucky ShotSince you can't miss Graves' shots, it's much easier and faster to "activate" the item's passive, it's not my favorite to do because there are better options but it can be very strong at times.

ColossusIf the other team has mixed damage and the match is tight, "Colossus" is a perfect item to make.

Optional25,600 Souls
Armor PiercerIf the other team has a lot of ballistic resistance, make an item instead of "Spellslinger".
Healing TempoIf you feel you need more movement speed in fights or to pull waves, make this item (ALWAYS HAVE "LEECH" IN THE BUILD IF YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE IT).
Point BlankIt's strong early against enemies with a lot of movement speed, but not very strong late game. If you're crushing the lane, make it and sell later.
Phantom StrikeMake ONLY if the other team has a lot of enemies that can escape easily or can fly, like Mina, Ivy, and Vindicta.
Escalating ResilienceThis item is strong if you're ahead of the other team and need ballistic resistance, if you're behind it's risky to make.
