Build details

Fixed snapshot: the filters on this site don't change it. Sample: Pocket, normal mode, ranked matches with average rank Phantom or higher, Oct 14, 2026 to Oct 18, 2026 (never more than 14 days): 2,426 matches, 47.8% won. Unranked matches carry no badge, so a rank bracket means ranked matches only.
Playstyle group: the most common trio of 3,200+ soul items by 30:00 was Spirit Burn, Cultist Sacrifice, Tankbuster. 1,765 of 2,426 matches (73%) built all three; 52.1% of them were won. That describes these players, not this exact build.
Items: bought by at least 50% of the group; late items are counted among the 719 matches that reached 35:00. With fewer than 2 late items, the build continues with the group's most-bought late items (at least 30%). Order follows the median purchase order. Imbue targets are the most common choice (20+ records, 40%+ agreement).
Ranked Pocket matches by rank: Seeker 1,130 · Sentinel 1,045 · Oracle 1,516 · Acolyte 1,225 · Mystic 968 · Ritualist 1,210 · Initiate 567 · Phantom 1,601 · Emissary 1,097 · Eternus 226 · Ascendant 599.

The last point (Affliction 5 AP) completes the order: many matches end before every point is spent, so it's placed where the 1,105 players who got that far usually took it.
