Infinite Reboot -
Alpha's perk gives her a second life, unless your enemies are able to kill you before your reboot time is completed. Having the reboot health scale off of bonus Max Energy allows CP
Alpha to be even more effective with items such as
Clockwork and
Halcyon Chargers. Alpha is put in a stasis where after 3.5 seconds. Alpha revives with both (A) and (B) off of cooldown. Prime Directive - This is your gap closer and what allows
Alpha to stick to targets. This ability will also work on structures and jungle monsters as well. Alpha will apply a slow and dash behind an enemy, structure, or jungle monster while removing the negative effects of
Core Charge. Core Charge - This is the reason why
Aftershock is a core item on
Alpha. The cooldown is decreased by basic attacks so
Alpha can continue to spam it while procing
Aftershock. Alpha dashes forward and basic-attacks her target. Core Charge will give her passive lifesteal. Termination Protocol -
Alpha's Ulti allows her to keep fighting for a longer amount of time and deal a lot of damage from her explosion to finish off low enemies. To maximize this, wait until you're at low health then activate it. Infinite Reboot. Infinite Reboot is ready.
Aftershock - Given how spammable
Core Charge is,
Alpha can abuse
Aftershock easily to deal massive damage. 13% Max Health damage is nothing to laugh at.
Broken Myth - Shield pierce to deal with defense. Clockwork - A really good item for
Alpha, giving her more Max Energy and Cooldown Speed that will help her survive in
Infinite Reboot and make
Core Charge available more often. Dragon's Eye - The CP equivalent to
Breaking Point, in long fights
Alpha can build up more CP to deal even more damage.
Eve of Harvest - Lifesteal items work well with
Core Charge to provide insane sustain for
Alpha in fights, this will also give her more Max Energy for her
Infinite Reboot.
Shatterglass - More CP for
Alpha to scale off of.
Spellfire - Situational item if you're CP heavy and need the Mortal Wounds on top of the burn damage. Bonesaw - Buy this to shred the enemy armor when they buy defensively. Breaking Point - In long fights
Breaking Point will turn you into a monster with huge amounts of WP. Poisoned Shiv - If you want some lifesteal and Mortal Wounds to counter-build someone such as
Krul or sustain-reliant heroes. Serpent Mask - An alternative to
Poisoned Shiv if you don't need the Mortal Wounds and only want more lifesteal and raw damage. Sorrowblade - Gives
Alpha more raw WP to deal damage with. Spellsword - The main usage of this item is for the Cooldown Speed while also building WP so
Alpha doesn't have to go into a CP item to bring up her abilities more often. Tension Bow - The passive from this can let
Alpha do even more burst with
Aftershock proc, and the Armor Pierce is useful. Tornado Trigger - Rarely bought but the attack speed and extra crit can help in certain matchups. Tyrant's Monocle - Similar to
Tornado Trigger this gives WP instead of attack speed to add on more burst damage. Aegis - This will usually always be bought on
Alpha unless the enemy team has no CP damage dealers and/or no CC-heavy heroes. The
Reflex Block will save you in many situations and the defensive stats will keep you alive. Atlas Pauldron /
Metal Jacket - Most of the time
Atlas Pauldron will be the better choice against attack speed-reliant heroes such as
Ringo,
Krul, and
SAW.
Metal Jacket will give more defensive stats but will not reduce attack speed like
Atlas Pauldron. Alpha, you should build 2 defense items on most games. She isn't very innately tanky and as the front line survivability and dueling power is crucial to her. Only buying 1 defense item will make her more vulnerable to death/reboot before she can secure a kill. Halcyon Chargers - The best option for
Alpha as it gives Max Energy and lowers cooldowns even more.
Journey Boots - Not needed as often because
Alpha already has 2 gapclosers, but can be useful against more mobile heroes / matchups.
Core Charge to clear jungle camps until you hit level 3. At this point you will have 1 point in
Prime Directive and 2 points in
Core Charge. Now, you can either choose to gank or counter jungle. Ganking can help snowball your carry(ies), while counter jungling will push the enemy Jungler / Roam further down in farm and XP. Aegis and
Atlas Pauldron. Since you'll be fighting in the front, most likely you'll be focused so building defense will help you stay alive. Continue to group together and place vision in objectives. DO NOT force objectives that you cannot win/take. (i.e. Kraken, Blackwing, and Ghostwing) Prime Directive to deter their attention to you, which will then allow your allies to focus more important targets and help you out. Make sure you're not in a bad position when
Infinite Reboot starts, you can easily die by being out in the open.
