FighterJett's Unkillable Green King
As a tank it's your job to eat as much CC as you can so debuff resist is incredibly important and why debuff reducer is core. you don't need gun items early because your shred is powerful enough to make you deal damage without them force witchmail literally every game it's so insanely broken on this hero, the more you can spam your 3 the more unkillable you are Spirit is extremely bait on this hero, if you want extra deflect just take plated
#Citadel_HeroBuilds_EarlyGame
not L-R. Almost always buy EH first item
Extra Health
SSS tier laning item actually insanely broken especially on this hero
Extra Regen
sellable
Mystic Regeneration
2 makes this item have infinite uptime
Restorative Locket
Extremely skippable for a vest
Debuff Reducer
unskippable
Compress Cooldown
CDR on 3 is insanely broken, once you buy this you can effectively have 3 up at all times
Radiant Regeneration
once you have compress CD, you can get a heal every time you use 3, which will have almost no downtime
Superior Cooldown
unnecessary but is nice, further enables spamming ult
Fortitude
unskippable
Lane optionalsOptional
Healing Rite
one of the best laning items OAT. Might be weaker now that healing snacks are in the game SO GO LEARN SNACK SPAWNS
Rebuttal
use your mindwaves to force them to melee you. SSS tier sleeper item
Restorative Shot
Not my favorite on this hero but has potential to be usable.
Golden Goose Egg
If lane is THAT shit. idk how much I like this on this hero but your damage already doesn't matter anyways.
VESTOptional
if you skipped resto
Battle Vest
Guilty pleasure item that idk is that good since we don't fw building for gun damage. But I like having more fire rate :). I buy in matchups with enough gun damage to justify it over resto.
Enchanter's Emblem
comparatively far worse than battle vest since you get effectively nothing out of the spirit power but the CDR and extra spirit res is nice in spirit heavy matchups.
I want to deal damage
Honestly never buy any of these (except siphon) before you complete your green spike AND get CDR on your 3 AND get fortitude or you're trolling. There is an argument for siphon for reasons that should be obvious but your gun damage is not important, you are a support-ish tank first and foremost.
Weighted Shots
debuff resist is op and so is this item. Sell literally any of the other gun items for this if you have to.
Ballistic Enchantment
Take over PB and/or swift striker. your ult also procs this, which is why it's on swarm and not grenade. Also grenade is mid asf never use it it's a bait ability
Siphon Bullets
% health damage is broken. And it gives you extra health, which means more shield granted by your 3.
Superior Duration
Extra duration on ult and shield and swarm can be good. Not core by any means.
Witchmail box
Insanely OP on this hero, force every game
Witchmail
force literally every game. extra CDR on 3 is broken as fuck and increases your damage resist
Bulk boxOptional
Bulk after buying your damage items
Plated Armor
stacking damage resist is the best way to play this hero unironically never build gun just shred with ult/2
Unstoppable
debuff resist is op
Spellbreaker
debuff resist is OP
Escalating Resilience
instead of point blank if gun heavy game
Scourge
debuff resist is op
Debuff resist boxOptional
Non-core debuff resist items that are still good in their own right.
Spirit spike alternativesOptional
If you don't want RRegen. Duration is buyable lategame in general
Mystic Expansion
might be bait
Greater Expansion
might be bait
Duration Extender
gives you literally no downtime between shield uses once you have CDR. Might be bait.
Debuff resist boxOptional
Non-core debuff resist items that are still good in their own right.
Bullet Lifesteal
his lifesteal is 25% weaker than anyone else
Vampiric Burst
honestly you don't even need BLS sustain, your 3 is that strong
Burst Fire
kind of a shitty luxury buy item in general if your name is not Vyper is my understanding of this item.
Old core but Ive decided BEnchantment is far betterOptional
This way is also more slot efficient
Point Blank
item with a fake conditional. Also has bonus health
Swift Striker
I don't like his base fire rate. Not core by any means. I usually only pick up if I don't go battle vest. If I did, then sell rapid.
