Unkillable Rat Solo

Hi Anna,

I don't know which acorn is most popular for solo, but I think Evergreen is probably okay.

I'm less sure about the start, though. While Soul Eater has its appeal, you're going to get a good amount of health sustain when you finish Evergreen, and you also pick up Med (Blink might be the better relic if you're comfortable and can be aggressive). In addition, if you change how you start, you can also get early sustain through Lively Acorn's passive.

The more common (meta, boring, sure) start would be to build into Blackthorn Hammer first. This gives you power and a good chunk of health early, while also mostly negating any potential mana issues you have (thus also meaning get rid of Chalice of Mana, which shouldn't be there in the first place!!).

I don't think Sovereignty (even more health sustain) is necessary, and you're not usually (as far as I would play him) be a back-line player where you'd be regularly giving added prots to teammates. Same concept would be applied to getting Heartward Amulet, which you list in situationals.

As an example of a build you might try, check out this semi-recent Haddix (pro Solo player) video. He builds quite a bit different here, going Thickbark -> Sundering -> Blackthorn -> Trans -> Serrated -> Heartseeker. Now, I wouldn't necessarily recommend building this exactly. I think a good reason he went so aggressive late w/ Serrated and HS is because he was dominating that match. But I think Trans is still a strong item that you might regularly consider, and if you want to be more tanky in a specific match, you can sub in Serrated/HS as preferred, with items like Void Shield, Shifter's Shield, Bulwark of Hope, etc.
