Bench Butt-blast Build
Steal spirit -> go punch people. Hold them down and hit them hard. EDIT: Tested this and holy shit it's fun. You deal insane damage on melees and can farm all 3 sinners in Chinatown at the same time. Very strong.

Sell prio: Extra Regen > Battle Vest (after Juggernaut) > Melee Charge (if skipping Crushing) > Burst Fire (if you got Crushing)
Extra Charge
Extra Regen
Mystic Regeneration
Melee Lifesteal
Spirit Strike
Enduring Speed
Radiant Regeneration
Spirit Snatch
Battle Vest
Melee Charge
Burst Fire
Greater ExpansionExtra Charge
More spirit steal (+ more pulls later to lock people down)
Extra Regen
Standard sustain item (replace later, or skip if not needed)
Mystic Regeneration
I mean... insane healing
Melee Lifesteal
Healing from punches is good when that's a big source of damage
Spirit Strike
Spirit shred on melee is pretty great for you (+ stealing spirit power later)
Enduring Speed
Negate slows to help you chase down harder
Radiant Regeneration
Even insane-er healing
Spirit Snatch
Stealing more spirit power + solid damage on hit
Battle Vest
Baba's one weakness is bullet resist, this is a solid option and gives you a tiny bit of fire rate (good for your 1). Can replace with Weapon Shielding if you like.
Melee Charge
Even more damage on melees + a strong proc late game
Burst Fire
Gun spike; your gun does crazy damage after stealing spirit and this gives us everything we want (more fire rate + move speed)
Greater Expansion
Makes your 2 heavy melees comically large.
#Citadel_HeroBuilds_MidGame
You can (and should) pick up Juggernaut earlier into gun-heavy comps.
Lifestrike
Cold Front
Rapid Recharge
Superior Cooldown
Juggernaut
Arctic Blast
Boundless Spirit
Crushing FistsLifestrike
Insane, absurd healing that scales with your spirit stolen
Cold Front
Helps lock down targets you're melee-ing (+ even more spirit tank)
Rapid Recharge
Pull your enemies closer so you can beat them senseless
Superior Cooldown
More uptime on every ability is great, this means more shields, more stolen spirit, and most importantly more bench slams
Juggernaut
Your main form of anti-gun damage, also builds off of Enduring Speed which we keep forever. Get this earlier into gun heavy comps.
Arctic Blast
Lock down the most annoying characters to punch them
Boundless Spirit
Scales all your damage crazy style (at this point you can pivot to more of an ult build)
Crushing Fists
Kind of a meme item but if you find yourself constantly in teamfights this can go crazy
#Citadel_HeroBuilds_LateGame
Buy in any order.
Superior Duration
More uptime on 2, more uptime on spirit steal, more uptime on silence, it's just good
Transcendent Cooldown
You're keeping cooldown forever so you might as well upgrade it.
Witchmail
Lower your cooldowns even farther and shore up your spirit resists
Indomitable
Getting stunned cancels your ult channel; you'll finally be ulting more late game so you need something to stop it from being cancelled while channeling
Refresher
Transitioning to ult build? Get this for double pigeons
Lightning Scroll
Very funny late game stun item

Eat your veggies, children
