as usual, item selection in round 1 doesn't matter much and can be changed to personal preference. the ones laid out here are meant to give a small start to the hit and run playstyle. spirited to slay is my go-to first round power due to its sheer consistency and how much it enables this build.

While using [Wraith Form], gain the ability to fly and gain 20% Move Speed.

$ 10,000

sell all of your items and buy wretched wings. if you have extra, buy as you like. the utility of wretched wings in a hit and run playstyle should be obvious.

Round 3

Wraith Renewal
Wraith Renewal

While in [Wraith Form], restore 10% of your Life every 1s. Double this while below 50% Life.

Power
Pocket Mist
Pocket Mist
25 Health

While below 50%% Life, gain 20% Move Speed.

$ 4,000

wraith renewal further enables your ability to get out of dangerous situations and survive, even if you're chased. if you have the cash, you can look to buy pocket mist in this round for the synergy it has with wraith renewal.

Round 4

Dauntless Draught
Dauntless Draught
50 Health
15% Move Speed during [Wraith Form]
33% [Wraith Form] Duration
$ 10,000

depending on your cash, you can consider selling pocket mist in order to get dauntless draught, although having both is preferable.

Round 5

Harvest Fest
Harvest Fest

[Hellfire Shotgun] hits have a 10% chance to spawn a Soul Globe. When picked up, restore 25% Life, 25% Ammo, and gain 25% Move Speed for 3s.

Power

harvest fest, although rng-based, provides further synergy with the playstyle and shouldnt be underestimated. at this point, the key items are already bought and you can buy as needed for the situation.

Round 6

Eye of the Spider
Eye of the Spider
25% Weapon Power

Deal 10% increased damage to enemies below 30%% Life.

$ 13,500

this far into the game, i would recommend making investments into weapon power so you dont lose your ability to make quick kills.

Round 7

Ghosted
Ghosted

While in [Wraith Form], passing through enemies slows their Move Speed and Attack Speed by 30% for 3s.

Power

round 7 fights can get pretty scrappy, making ghosted somewhat more usable for this build. this is by no means essential and can be switched out if you want.

Description

a reaper build that focuses on enabling a hit and run playstyle focused on using a gigabuffed wraith form to get out after quick kills. a lot of personal changes are available, and the build has its fundamentals in place by round 2.
