== Item Types ==
[[Items]] are split into three categories; the two damage types, [[Weapon]] and [[Spirit]], and [[Vitality]] for defense.


==== Weapon ====
These shops are scattered throughout the [[map]] with one at each base, towards mid on both teams sides, along with every lane's first Guardians, although these close after the Guardian is killed. They can be found by heading towards the shop icon on the minimap ([[File:MinimapShopIcon.png|24px|link=]]). Players can interact with shops by standing in front of them within the small yellow rectangle.  
Weapon items focus on improving the player's base weapons, giving additional ammo, weapon damage, fire rate, giving players buffs like more damage, defense, or life steal when they land their shots and the enemies they hit debuffs, like reducing their armor or movement speed. Weapon items are great for powering up your heroes basic attacks and consistently applying effects to yourself and enemies.


==== Vitality ====
Every hero also has a set of items in their Default build separated into sections for the [[Strategy|early, mid, and late game]] set by the developers. Players are also capable of creating and sharing their own builds for each hero.
Vitality items focus on improving the player's survivability, defense, and movement capabilities. Items offer more max health and regen, resistance to bullet and spirit damage, extra stamina and sprint speed, and several active items that allow for players to heal quickly or stay in a fight longer.


==== Spirit ====
Some items are components, which can be upgraded into more expensive items with improved effects.
Spirit items focus on improving the player's abilities, modifying things like their damage, duration, and cooldown, giving abilities extra charges and lifesteal. These items are best for heroes with powerful abilities, and weak or inconsistent primary weapons
