Aftershock makes her significantly more powerful so it's also important to get it pretty quickly.
Halcyon Potions a lot to avoid going back to base. Their effects last for 25 seconds, so I'll usually drink about 2 per minute. At some point it's no longer enough to keep my energy up and I get Batteries.
Piercing Shard, or slightly more defensive with a second defensive item. For its low cost,
Piercing Shard amps up crystal damage very effectively (the pierce also helps with
Aftershock's proc). If the game goes very long, you could consider replacing it with a
Shatterglass,
Frostburn or
Alternating Current. It's also this slot that will be used for getting a third defensive item if you don't have enough survivability yet. Aftershock,
Travel Boots and at least one defensive item, it's time to start drinking infusions. Focus on
Crystal Infusions, but don't hesitate to get
Weapon Infusions too if you have the gold. At this point your team should be pretty agressive on the battlefield, going for turrets, Kraken and enemy hero kills. (If for some reason that's not the case and it's not the right time to be agressive, infusions may not be as important, yet.) If the game is not too intense yet, get
Eve of Harvest before relying on infusions (delay WP infusions in particular).
Ironguard Contract with Koshka. And I still think it can be important in many situations. But now I've decided to try not to rely on it since it delays the build (by 250 gold) and takes up an item slot which could be very useful for something else (working up to
Aftershock and an
Aegis or
Crucible at the same time, while also having
Sprint Boots and potions). That being said, if you have a teammate in jungle that is competing with you for last hits and you can't control your jungle plus at least half of your ennemies, you should probably get an Ironguad Contract just after getting
Oakheart, and then complete
Aegis/
Crucible only once
Aftershock is done. That or don't get potions/Boots, which I think are very important.
Reflex Block is without question the first item to get (or alternatively
Dragonheart if you're new to the game and not yet used to activating items). However, after this, you should look at what your ennemies are building to determine what to upgrade to and what else to get. For example, if they don't have a lot of WP items, go for
Aegis to reduce the damage from their abilities. If they rely on attack speed,
Atlas Pauldron.
Crucible is an overall good choice, but it's not exceptional, and it loses value if the ennemies use
Aftershock(s). I like
Fountain of Renewal sometimes, when the enemy team is not all about burst, since in that case you actually have the time to use it. It's better if paired with
Aegis or
Crucible to increase your chances of surviving long enough. If the enemy team is heavy WP, but does not rely a lot on attack speed,
Metal Jacket could possibly be an OK choice.
