Titanic Magazine
Bullet Lifesteal

Burst FireSwift Striker
Do not sell this, unless really necessary / ultra late game. This is Haze's staple item along with Burst Fire for Fire Rate.
Extra Health
Strong early Haze item, excellent for lane sustain
Active Reload
Swap this to a Tier 4 / Merc Mag / Other Item, in the Late Game
Titanic Magazine
Fantastic item, you can swap this with Weakening Headshot if you are comfortable with ammo management. Can sell in the end game for Tier 4 Items
Bullet Lifesteal
Many do not prefer Fury Trance, hence just kept Bullet Lifesteal here for convenience. You can upgrade to Fury Trance from this item easily or upgrade to Vampiric Burst later.
Bullet Resist Shredder
Superb all rounder Item for 1600! -10% Bullet Resist for quicker farming + fights & provides additional Weapon Damage & Bullet Resist
Fortitude
You can upgrade from Extra Health to Fortitude (OR) can skip this and get Spirit Resilience → If Spirit stacked opponents
#Citadel_HeroBuilds_EarlyOptional
Fury Trance
Excellent item & now has In-built Fleetfoot! Many do not prefer this item due to Silence, hence this is currently kept optional.
Slowing Hex
Your staple item to cripple Movement Heroes. You can sell this in the ultra late game to accomodate Tier 4 / Other Items.
2. CORE
Flexible Buys, *NOT* Strict L-R || Anti-Metal Skin → Capacitor || Anti-Heal → Inhibitor || ULT → Unstop
Surge of Power
Choice : Can get another T3 Spirit Item like Superior Duration or Rapid Recharge (for your Smoke Bomb T3 Dispels)
Ricochet
Your staple & a key T4 Item
Lucky Shot
Big Damage Spike & also provides Ammo. You can buy Silencer before Lucky Shot, if the game demands it
Siphon Bullets
Excellent late game item for Haze, can be paired with Healing Tempo for additional Fire Rate + Sustain
Silencer
Arguably the Best Tier 4 Gun Item for Haze. Ricochet + Silencer makes you an absolute menace from Mid to Late Game.
Vampiric Burst
Always an excellent Item for Haze. Upgrade this from Bullet Lifesteal/Fury Trance in the late game for top notch sustain
Capacitor
Slow enemies heavily with the active, then finish them with your ult. Excellent for 1v1s and strong late game, adding Spirit Damage vs. Metal Skin users.
Inhibitor
The Goated Anti-Damage & Anti-Heal item. Can replace with the Tier 3 Green you selected earlier / Any other earlier item
Unstoppable
A crucial item in the Late game.
ArmorsOptional
Spirit Resilience
An important Item from Mid Game onward (Flexible Timing of Purchase). Can skip Fortitude & get this item.
3. End Game
*NOT* L-R, Your Choices
Armor Piercer
Good Counter Item against Plated Armor & Bullet Resilience. Does *NOT* work against Metal Skin. Anti-Metal Skin → Capacitor / Merc Mag / Curse. Good purchase after Plated Armor buff
Focus Lens
Note : Can be easily countered by Dispel Magic. Do NOT use on players that have Dispel Magic equipped.
Frenzy
Very much a viable late game item. 10% Bullet Lifesteal is a welcome buff
Healing Tempo
To be paired with Siphon Bullets. DO *NOT* buy this as an exclusive item, it will not trigger & the item will be a waste.
Best GreensOptional
Spirit OptionsOptional
Rapid Recharge
This is for your T3 Smoke Bombs. They are basically handy Dispel Magics available to you (since T3 dispels non-ULT Debuffs) and Rapid Recharge helps to activate them regularly in fights.
Superior Duration
Provides outstanding value for Haze : +1.5s Bullet Dance, Slowing Hex, +2s Active Reload, +.7s Silencer, +1.3s Burst Fire, +4s Smoke Bomb Duration, +1s Curse etc etc
Mercurial Magnum
Can Skip, *IF* enemies aren’t stacking Metal Skin. With Metal Skin being common, this is a strong late-game pick, providing Spirit Damage to counter them. Sell either SoP or Slowing Hex for this.
Green OptionsOptional
Warp Stone
An excellent tool if the enemy tries to run away from your Bullet Dance
