Starting Items

If the lane will be tough - get more tangoes.

Early

~7-10 min Treads switch and raw tankiness may be halpful for Spectre in situations when you desperately need HP

Core

~18-24 min Radiance is the best farming item you can get, but it slows you down quite a bit. It`s better to get Soul Ring and Blade Mail most of the time (it will be enough for farming), but if you have a free early game and enough time to get Radiance then go for it. Before Manta Style ALTERNATIVES: Blade Mail, Philactery

~25-32 min Increases our farming speed by a lot, gives us a lot of damage against solo targets, increases tankiness by a little bit

Gives a lot of stats and slow passive (which should work on illusions too), so it`s one of the best items to pick up actually

Situational Early

~5 min Before Blade Mail ALTERNATIVES: Falcon Blade

~5 min Before Blade Mail ALTERNATIVES: Urn of Shadows

It works with Dagger and Step, it's generally nice for stats and farming. But it also practically takes the same niche as Radiance/BM, so it depends Alternatives: Radiance, Blade Mail

~8 min It`s both farming and fighting item. Works well with Radiance, but is very timing dependent Alternatives: Radiance, Philactery

Lategame

Gives a lot of tankiness and good for locking people down. Most of the time you don`t really need it or just have more important slot to have. Altho, it`s actually pretty good as 6-7th slot.

~20-30 min

A lot of attack speed, damage and miss chance. May be replaced by Bloodthorn if you have enough money.

Situational

ALTERNATIVE: Skull Basher

Almost all the time you WILL need to pick up BKB. It helps a lot against disables, break and a lot of other stuff.

Heart is that point of becoming out-of-control. It replaces any of your cheap regen items, while also making you very hard to kill in fights (not only because of HP pool, but also because of ability to get out, regen ad re-engage).

Good armor aura and attack speed buff. Good thing to pick up if you don`t have it in your team and really need armor

Other Significant Items

~10 min ALTERNATIVES: Meteor Hammer, Blade Mail

It has a fairly low cooldown and works well as regen item replacement and a farming item. You don`t really need to use it in fights, but you CAN if you need to focus a squishy target. It`s better to purchase with some cheap armor (like Blade Mail)

Gives a lot of tankiness and sustain, BUT doesn`t boost farming speed, while also being quite expensive. Good for tower dives (and very agressive plays) or against summons/high attack speed.

~15 min
