Early Game / Lane
In Order add Extra Regen if needed CQ first in 1v1
Restorative Shot
Pay attention to when this is ready to use and maximize heals by shooting enemy heroes.
Extra Stamina
Consider buying earlier against Warden or Haze, extra stam can save you from early deaths!
Sprint Boots
Pick this up as soon as you start roaming to jungle and gank
Situational Lane Items
Add Extra Regen if getting heavily harassed, Healing rite you shouldn't need but can be a good crutch if you're struggling. Infuser is good against heavy spirit harass. Reactive good vs Talon or Beebop
Extra Regen
Buy if getting harassed or expecting heavy harass to sustain lane
Healing Rite
Don't usually recommend, but can be a crutch for newer players and used in lieu of going back to base.
Reactive Barrier
Consider buying this against a cracked beebop or stuff like grey talon traps or Haze sleeps
Core Items
Prioritize Pulse first, then filling slots w/ 1200s, you can hold off on getting one of the armors if not as needed until later. Sell Resto or Extra regen if need more space

Duration Extender
The extra stun duration really sets up your heavy melees post charge and post ult.
Enduring Speed
Look to time picking this up while running urn through the tunnels to secret shop!
Item 3713423303
Only pick up if needed, against heavy bullet damage like Haze, McGinnis, Ivy, Wraith, otherwise hold off until you have flex slots
Item 223594321
I usually pick up just one armor early, and spirit is almost always the best choice.
Lifestrike
Get ready to turn into One Punch man
Hunter's Aura
Helps enable assassinating enemy squishies. Look to ult a singled off grey talon or vindicta!
Stamina Mastery
Really helps add more mobility in the late game, potentially pick up before upgraded armor if you think you can get away w it.
Situational
Usually get one active to counter the best player on the enemy team, reactive barrier is good vs Stakes or Hooks
Cursed Relic
Slowing Hex
Knockdown
Rusted Barrel
Ethereal Shift
Decay
Silence Wave
Debuff Reducer
Dispel MagicCursed Relic
Look to pick this up early to shut down hard to catch enemies and shut down the enemy carry.
Slowing Hex
Useful again heroes like Pocket to prevent them from getting away
Knockdown
A good budget item to shut down things like Seven ult, or help with chasing down heroes that tend to get away.
Rusted Barrel
Consider picking up against enemies with high bullet damage that are a problem
Dispel Magic
Useful against Wraith ult, Warden cage, Seven stun etc.
Late Game / Luxury
After you complete your core items, feel free to add any of these luxury items. In order of my favorite, Superior CD + Kevlar is a good combo if you want to lean into always having your Ult late game.
Phantom Strike
Vampiric Burst
Diviner's Kevlar
Superior Cooldown
Warp Stone
Colossus
Unstoppable
Suppressor
Mystic Slow
Superior Duration
Crippling Headshot
Leech

Rapid Rounds
Healing Booster
Kinetic DashDiviner's Kevlar
Combos nicely w/ superior cooldown to build towards your ult
Superior Cooldown
A potential pick up in games that go late, your ult becomes much more important to initiating fights and this lets you do it more.
Colossus
Big scary abams
Unstoppable
Useful if you find yourself getting heavily CC'd post ult, if your ult is max'd pop 3s after ulting
Superior Duration
Upgrades a core item, really isn't needed but if you have money and no flex spots consider this on your 1
Leech
Reduces enemy heal reduction, look to pickup against heal bane.
Item 4003032160
Kind of a meme item, win more or lose more kind of item
Rapid Rounds
Useful flex slot filler.

Laning Phase
Start with resto shot, prioritize healing when off CD by shooting enemy heroes. Add extra regen if needed and getting harrased heavily (a lot of times I will be 300 HP and just sit in hard cover waiting for my 3 and Extra Regen to heal me) Ideally shoot creeps low enough to melee to secure last hits. Dip in and out of cover to minimize early damage. Once you have your ult, look to kill your opponent or possibly gank a nearby lane. Abrams can easily dive the enemies underneath their guardian with support.
Mid Game
Once you kill your your tower, look to start ganking and helping teammates kill their tower, while farming neutrals in between. Melee charge + Pulse lets you farm any creep camps you want, make sure you utilize melee charge heavy to reload your gun. Convince your team to run urn, or run it yourself with enduring speed, try to farm neutrals aggresively stealing enemy neutrals when possible. Look to ult enemies who just used their movement ability (for example an vindicta that just landed). Don't forget your combo! Ult -> Heavy -> Charge -> Heavy (duration extended helps gurantee this)
Late Game
Once you complete your Core items you should be fairly hard to kill. However you do start to fall off against certain enemy carries. Make sure you buy the correct situational items into the late game to shut down whatever the enemy team is doing right. For example Slowing hex for vindicta / grey talon / pocket. Curse for enemy Seven, Haze, Infernus etc.
