Be passive until Ult is ready. Sell everything but Stamina as you start getting more souls and need slots.

Express ShotThis is just really good for her human form. You can sell this later if you don't like having it on her base form, can replace with anything you see fit.

Fire Rate Memes - Not Left to Right

48,000 Souls

Try to buy as many of these as you can with an ideal defensive, Stam Mastery, and Spellslinger. The game is usually over before I can buy everything, so pick what you think is best first.

All item notes

Intensifying Magazine — Not good for human form, but good for wolf form so we take it. Can be swapped with Toxic Bullets or Hunter's Aura.
Berserker — Not fire rate, but does give you more damage. I think a good substitute could be Escalating Resilience if desired.
Blood Tribute — Try to pair this with Vampiric Burst as soon as possible.
Bullet Lifesteal — This is just to add some extra lifesteal while in wolf form while you get some more souls for Vampiric Burst.
Vampiric Burst — Press 2 to dive in, then this to shred and heal.
Spellbreaker — Solid defensive, can replace with Plated Armor or another defensive depending on enemy comp.
Mercurial Magnum — Put this on your 2, use when in wolf form to increase your fire rate.
Focus Lens — Good item to shut someone down, also adds more zugzug fire rate. We grab it.
Ricochet — Works in wolf form, is good for meme
Spellslinger — Literally just increases fire rate when we use abilities, we grabbing it.

Defensives

Optional40,000 Souls

Get a couple greens mid game so you can survive when diving while in ult.

All item notes

Metal Skin — Good for stopping gun damage, but it doesn't stop stuff like Toxic Bullets, so be mindful of that.
Spirit Resilience — If spirit heroes hurty, buy this.
Bullet Resilience — If bullet heroes hurty, kill them quickly. But maybe buy this? Its really not amazing imo
Counterspell — Good for literally everything, think about picking this up.
Reactive Barrier — A shield for all the CC in the game, pretty decent
Plated Armor — Pretty okay for gun characters, better than Bullet Resilience tbh
Indomitable — Upgrades from Reactive Barrier and can stop stuns every 55 seconds. I think its worth it, but still niche depending on team comps.
Colossus — Good resistances, pretty good when paired with Warp Stone or Phantom Strike.
Juggernaut — Too much slow is annoying and this can help mitigate it.

Other Fire Rate Options

Optional28,000 Souls

I don't use any of these on Silver, but its always nice to have options. You can swap out of a few of the more expensive items for these if you're not feeling the main portion in general.

All item notes

Rapid Rounds — Turns into Swift Striker, pretty good upgrade for wolf in general.
Swift Striker — 20% more fire rate, can trade this out with Focus Lens to free up another active of your choice if you don't want that one.
Shadow Weave — I'll be real, I don't touch this ever on Silver. But if it works for you, then go for it!
Surge of Power — There's potential to pair this with Merc Mag or outright replace it. Either works!
Burst Fire — Nice for the bonus slide distance. I don't use it often, but its still a good pick.
Fury Trance — I do not find this to be useful, but more brrr for wolf form. Up to you!
Frenzy — This is great, since you're usually always under fire and taking damage.
Capacitor — I'm not the biggest fan of this on Silver, but maybe there is potential I don't see.

Extras

Optional43,200 Souls

These are all pretty situational, buy them as you need them.

All item notes

Weighted Shots — Same as Slowing Bullets. Probably try to sell this later.
Lifestrike — I don't really use this anymore, but its really good healing if the enemy can't parry. Pair with Crushing Fists if you'd rather be punchy isntead of memey
Torment Pulse — Its an okay item on Silver, I think this could go to another item in general. If it's your thing, pick it up for free ult charge when surrounded.
Cold Front — Has an upgrade and slows enemies. Not bad if you're having trouble keeping up with people. Think about selling later if you're able to follow them and confirm kills.
Arctic Blast — Read Cold Front.
Spirit Shielding — Provides a decent enough shield early on for when you dive in. Replace it for another defensive for sure tho.
Toxic Bullets — Allows for quick ult gain, try to sell it later. Can hold onto it and not buy one of the first two in the memes section instead tho.
Healing Tempo — Still unsure on this one, buy it if you like it tho.
Hunter's Aura — Really good for when you dive in and start zugzugging them.
Warp Stone — Great for catching up and escaping. Sell for Phantom Strike if you can stay alive when you dive in.
Phantom Strike — I used to have this be required, but its just great for getting on top of someone asking for it. Moved over to optional to open up slots since it is situational.
Enduring Speed — Reduce enemy slows, run around the map faster. Situational, but still good.
