Billy build and item order
What Billy players buy, what a long game ends with, what changes against each enemy, and the in-game builds they pick.
The Billy build in brief
Most Billy players open with Melee Lifesteal and Close Quarters, then pick up Lifestrike (around 16 minutes, 74% of games) and Spirit Snatch (around 19 minutes, 71% of games).
The build splits in the mid game: the most common big buys from 9 to 20 minutes are Lifestrike (63%), Spirit Snatch (50%) and Cultist Sacrifice (31%).
In games past 35 minutes, a finished Billy carries about 11 items, 41.0k souls, 42% of them vitality; most end with Lifestrike (88%), Spirit Snatch (87%) and Crushing Fists (78%).
Beyond the core items, the commonest big buy from 20 to 30 minutes is Berserker (18% of games); the late-game duel sets it against Greater Expansion (13% of games).
The clearest change by opponent: against Haze, Billy players buy Metal Skin at about ×3.96 the usual rate (22,835 buyers; adjusted, with small samples pulled towards ×1).
The most used in-game build is "Billy - Hybrid-Close Range [57% WR] [tracklock.gg]" by Tracklock, picked in 35,994 games (48% won).
The finished build 7 days · games over 35 min (47%)
What Billy games of 35 minutes or more end with, slot by slot: the share of those games still holding each item at the end, and when it's bought. Pick an item for its upgrade chain and numbers.

Each segment is an item's hold × its cost; the hatched end of each slot is held in items off the board.
Games over 35 minutes end with about 11 items, so 5 sockets read “usually empty”. Solid frames: held at the end of at least half of those games; dashed: fewer. Flex slots take any slot type, and each flex item keeps its own slot colour. From 182,265 long games (47% of Billy games).

Against other heroes 21 days
What players change, not proof it works. ★ marks an item whose buyers win at least 1 point more against that enemy than buyers of other items of its tier, after checking for chance, over 21 days: ★ all pools every hero's buyers, ★ Billy is Billy players only.
The 8 clearest changes in what Billy players buy, across every enemy. Pick enemies above the board to see one lineup.
Lifts compare how often Billy players buy an item in games against a hero with how often they buy it otherwise, over 21 days, with the build's usual items set to ×1 and small samples pulled towards ×1. Cells need 200 buyers. Several enemies are combined from separate match-ups (a weighted average of their lifts), not games against that exact team.

What you hold, minute by minute 7 days
Each band is one item: the share of Billy games still going at that minute that hold it. The bands stack, so the top edge is the whole inventory. Press play, or drag the slider, to watch a game fill up. Hover a band for its numbers.
At 45:00 you'd typically hold
Estimated from when players buy and sell; assumes what they buy doesn't depend on how long the game will last. Hatched minutes rest on fewer than a quarter of games. The 12-item line is where the base slots are full and flex slots start.

For Lifestrike, Crushing Fists and Colossus, buying early wins more mostly because early buyers are already ahead: by souls at purchase the line is much flatter. Win rates describe; they don't say an item wins games.
Two late games, side by side 7 days
What Billy players buy after 30 minutes, split by the big item they took at 20–30 minutes. Bars are the share of each side's games reaching 30 minutes that bought the item. Pick the two sides to compare.
Berserker at 20–30 min
68,458 games · 54.4% won · 73% reach 30 min
Greater Expansion at 20–30 min
50,180 games · 54.9% won · 74% reach 30 min
Either way, 7 of the top 8 late items are the same.

Shares are of each side's games reaching 30 minutes; an item a side doesn't list was bought by fewer than its smallest listed share. ⇄: both sides buy it in 15% or more of games. Win dots run from 40% to 60%, with a tick at 50%, adjusted for souls at purchase where upstream gives it, with 95% whiskers, hollow under 2,000 buyers. They describe; they don't prove.

Bar heights compare how often items are bought within a phase; fewer items are bought late, and the row underneath shows how many games last that long. Win rates are adjusted for the buyer's souls at purchase, so players who are already ahead don't make an item look better than it is; they still describe, not prove.
