i like big bombs and i cannot lie! [ANNOTATED]
BOMB JUST GOT BUFFED, ITS OP NOW! your team fight is kinda crazy and the bomb does INSANE DAMAGE and hits OFTEN due to size and tracking, the slow is crazy too, since spirit is in this build. CHANGES: ULT UPGRADES SLIGHTLY SOONER, ULT SUCKS UNTIL T3, SO WE WANT THE SPIKE QUICKER! TESTING THINGS SO IGNORE THE MANY BUILD VERSIONS still a wip! any suggestions my disc is bluethiccfish, im always open!
Lane/Early Game
L to R, get gun spike early!
Monster Rounds
goes into cultist later!
Opening Rounds
good early damage
Mystic Expansion
big radius, tracking buff makes big bombs hard to dodge
Cultist Sacrifice
everything we want, souls, range, weapon damage, its perfect early on, buy at 8 min for the T3 haunts!
Fleetfoot
fast is always nice, makes rat king feel a lot smoother, NEVER SELL UNLESS SUPER SUPER LATE
Lane OptionsOptional
you can also go for a 1.6k green in the box below if you need them!
Extra Health
just some extra hp, youll be squishy-ish early so might be worthwhile. goes into fortitude or colossus later if you take that path!
Grit
decent item in general, good against spirit burst characters, also goes into spirit shielding!
Healing Rite
use this while box running!
Rebuttal
Your Move. (billy, abrams, viscous, venator even)
Extra Regen
a good, early passive option
Sprint Boots
goes into enduring speed if you want it, idk what else to say really
Rusted Barrel
got 2 m1's on the lane? get this, shut em down
Spirit Sap
honestly insane spirit reduction for 12 WHOLE SECONDS, VERY underrated for lane
Titanic Magazine
thats 65% more bullet per bullet! i prefer opening rounds, but some like titanic instead to help get the gun spike, so its here!
if slotlocked, sell opening, 1.6k green if you dont plan to use it for an upgrade, then cultist, fleetfoot last WITH THE NEW PATCH, BOMB DOES MORE DAMAGE AND TRACKS INSANELY WELL, BOMB IS ON THE MENU!!!!!
Core/Mid Game
now we splodin, L to R!
Compress Cooldown
GO TO GREEN SPIKE TAB AND HIT 4.8K, THEN COME BACK! can be rushed since bomb is that crazy now
Ballistic Enchantment
THE core of the build, an insane boost in damage, and later range! get in every objective teamfight you can! rift, midboss, even urn...
Echo Shard
double it and give it to the next person, can double bomb for big damage, or stagger them out for big slow, up to you, the cooldown is short on bomb anyway
Extra Charge
rat time, this will be your MAIN WAY of reducing bullet resist
Rapid Recharge
15.7S COOLDOWN WITH RATS AFTER SUPERIOR COOLDOWN, INSANE UPTIME NOW
Greater Expansion
HUGE for our bombs since tracking was buffed, also helps ult a lil! this and ballistic increases your bomb range by 45%!
GREEN SPIKE
BUY AFTER COMPRESS CD, HIT 4.8K SPIKE! CAN BUY EARLIER, BE AWARE OF ACTIVES
Return Fire
Spirit Shielding
Battle Vest
Debuff Reducer
Enduring Speed
Spirit Resilience
Dispel Magic
Counterspell
FortitudeReturn Fire
best 1.6k for rat king. full stop. paired with 3 or used in downtime you deal some very noticable damage. only reason its not mandatory is active slots
Spirit Shielding
grit goes into this, essentally better shielding from spirit, good if you want spirit resist and something like dispel or counterspell instead of spirit resilience
Battle Vest
bullet resist + damage + fire rate makes for a nice combination
Debuff Reducer
goes into unstop and spellbreaker, also good for just cc in general!
Enduring Speed
again, speed is nice, goes into juggernaut
Spirit Resilience
THE item to survive spirit nukers
Dispel Magic
haze, infernus, mirage, bebop, graves, billy, celeste, drifter, hell even rat king himself; just an overall amazing green item
Counterspell
telegraphed cc got nothing on you, lash ults, rem ults, bebop bombs, talon ult/arrows, and more! very useful
Fortitude
big healing later, personally i dont use it but you might!
#Citadel_HeroBuilds_LateGame
L to R, but can prio other items first
Superior Cooldown
really strong with rat swarm now, lots of uptime
Transcendent Cooldown
4 actives means we GOTTA get this
Siphon Bullets
insane hp
Berserker
70% extra weapon damage during team fights, if you werent a menace before you are now
Spellslinger
kinda crazy item that everyone sleeps on, you have short cooldowns so you can max stacks and keep it for a while! extra fire rate is also nice now youre stacked on damage
Super Late/MiscOptional
late late game items or just good items if you wanna take a detour! some more niche items im testing are in here too.
Colossus
Vampiric Burst
Plated Armor
Spellbreaker
Witchmail
Juggernaut
Unstoppable
Superior Duration
Scourge
Burst Fire
Escalating Resilience
Armor PiercerColossus
insane health boost, best all around option. lots of extra 3 shield, more resists, and enemy slows so they cant run from bombs >:3
Vampiric Burst
THIS WORKS WITH BOMBS, time it right when the big explosions happen for insane healing
Plated Armor
the i hate gun item (kinda crazy with 3!)
Spellbreaker
the i hate spirit item
Witchmail
you take a lot of damage as rat king, witchmail is actually really good against a spirit heavy comp
Juggernaut
reduces fire rate of enemies and big slow resist, strong defense pickup
Unstoppable
generally a nice item if you wanna be smack middle of team fights or against a dynamo
Superior Duration
bomb slow +1.12s, rat debuff +2.2s, barrier +2.8s, ult +5s at max, great item but good luck fitting it in
Scourge
good as even MORE spirit resist, 64% with a full build and spirit resil, 77% with colossus AND spirit resil if you wanna be the worst guy ever for 7 seconds
Burst Fire
some extra fire rate, but spellslinger should do it
Escalating Resilience
a good bullet resist item, more damage and more ammo too! matchup dependant, good against heavy gun comps
Armor Piercer
if most the team is hard countering you with items, not a bad shout!
