        There are various ways to play IO, just look which build is good for you.

        Early item : Bottle, Magic Wand, Urn, Soul Ring
        Mid game : Tranquil, Arcane boots, Force Staff, Mekansm, HOTD, Spirit Vessel.

        Usually i would make Bottle, Magic Wand, Urn, Tranquil & Force Staff. HoTD is very good item if you could control multiple units.

          No why u get soul ring 💍 ? U don't need that much mana armlet isn't that good too ure third already drains enough HP i go deso and sata after urn with scales great when u hit 20 the only good movement item is drums other good items are just disables nulifier/orchid/CZ hexz

          But that's the booster carry build it literally boosts the carry

            Those are outdated builds boots and bottle aren't viable anymore and force staff are u kiding 👶🏿 that's one way to break ure tether and lose movement speed reliably and boots are the literally worst item u can get on IO except if ure going guardians with is still not as gud as Satan

              satanic for me is when it gets late game armlet is nice with your 3rd tho makes it easier to toggle due to reduce incoming damage

                also i buy dominator as a situational item

                  Most pros go sr, urn, hotd
                  If u go armlet or satanic on a support like io I would flip my shit tbh

                  one syllable anglo-saxon

                    bottle is not viable since the rune change
                    soulring is core, so are urn and wand
                    hotd is good if ure ahead, if ure getting smashed and 5 manned not so much
                    glimmer/ghost/disk/bkb as defensive items
                    mek is good if ure against aoe or heroes that are good at targeting you because u cant heal with urn against that
                    deso if ure going to rat

                    satanic is great on paper if u have the lv20 talent and especially lv10 talent but i never got to a point where i could get one or where i wouldn't want heart instead(u can heal with satanic under damage but won't do much if ur carry isnt hitting things)

                    one syllable anglo-saxon

                      im still kinda shite on the hero though so take w/ a grain of salt

                        Hi Nikki,firstly dont listen these blue stars who bought acc and trying to be smart ass.
                        Bottle is a number one item on wisp,even after latest change with runes,i know these 7k wispers still build that (its somehow also buffed 100/50 replenish).
                        I would better then telling you my build give advice.
                        Io is amazing and now also strong hero all around,every single item is literally viable,its more about to get familiar with hero rather then looking for builds.
                        Recommend armlet to unexperienced io player can only player who have no idea about hero.
                        Find your way how to play this hero,watch high mmr players and get inspiration but dont copy them.

                        Pro tip: lately i find very effective to sometimes skip urn for stacking passive regen,its very good vs heroes with annoying aoe spell like zeus,bristleback.
                        Most common exaple would be soul ring,hotd,pipe.
                        Best items in my opinion right now are : soul ring,hotd,drums,pipe
                        Propably my last 100 games played without any boots.
