Rank: games and win rate together. Builds are ordered by the lead over games of the same length times games ÷ (games + 30,000), so a build with few games gets less credit for its lead. Number under each icon: win rate difference against items at the same price. Games in this build where the item was bought are compared with games of the same length (5-min steps), then the average of items at the same price is taken away. Expensive items are bought more in games with Souls to spare (winning ones), so only items at the same price are compared. Click an item for its effects and full stats. Win rates shown are for the build group, not for holding all 12 items of the final build at once.

"New player pick" is the style with the highest win rate among those used in 15% or more of games. Win rates also reflect skill gaps, so within 2%p is about even. At first, buy the picked style in order; once comfortable, fit in counter items for the enemy comp.

Abilities

1. Card Trick very far

Deal weapon damage to summon cards of a random suit. Each card can be thrown, dealing damage and applying a different effect depending on its suit. Cards thrown fly towards the enemy or point under your crosshair. Alt-cast to throw first card

Against it: Cards build up the more she shoots you, so don't trade for long

2. Project Mind 25m

Teleport to the targeted location.

Against it: She has no way back after teleporting, so counterattack then

3. Full Auto

Temporarily boost your fire rate and deal bonus spirit damage

Against it: While it's on, avoid head-on trades and take cover

4. Telekinesis 10m

Lift an enemy hero into the air and then slam them towards the target location.

Against it: Alone you get caught after the lift, so stay close to allies

Gun

Wraith's gun

Single shot · Ammo 52 · 10.6 bullets/sec · DPS 60 · full damage to 18m, minimum from 52m

Playing against

When Full Auto is on, get behind cover
She is weakest right after Project Mind, so go in then
Build bullet defense items to survive her trades

Counter items

Metal Skin

Bullet Resilience

Strengths

Full Auto deals heavy weapon damage in a short time
Project Mind makes engaging and escaping easy
Telekinesis reliably locks down one key enemy

Weaknesses

Fragile and useless if locked down first
Weapon damage focus makes her weak to bullet defense
No way out once Project Mind is used

Game plan

Laning

Poke with Card Trick and your gun, and push waves out fast.

Mid game

Join the next lane with Project Mind and hunt kills.

Late game

Lock down the enemy carry with Telekinesis and pour Full Auto damage into fights.

Power spikes

Card Trick and Full Auto make her early trades strong. Telekinesis lets her lock down one target for sure, and her close-range firepower explodes as fire rate items stack up.

With them on your team

Unload all your abilities on enemies lifted by Telekinesis
Go in with Wraith when she uses Full Auto to stack your damage
