Shadowblade on Kunkka is rather nice, if it works like in HoN. Seems more effective than battlefury.

Doesn't battlefury also apply the splash to jug's ulti? Also radiance requires you to farm up 3.8k whereas battlefury is in much smaller and more useful parts. Just my 2 cents.

yeah it works on the ulti


I'm pretty sure that BF does not work with Omnislash. It only works with auto attacks. Although if you have high AS you do autoattack more during the ult duration but it does not cleave on the actual Omnislash attacks.

Correct, the slashes from omnislash cannot splash, but the bonus attacks in-between can. Bonus attacks also trigger buff placers/orbs/procs.

Your listing of Urn is very inconsistent. Mention it for KotL, but not for Pudge, NS, VS, or CM?

Medallion is required for Lycan. Honestly, playing HoN and not having Medallion was the most rage-inducing experience ever.

EDIT: Should also have 5-s's 5s guide to every hero.
Any Strength hero: Janggo BKB
Any Agi hero: Vanguard Manta
Any Int hero: Mekan Force Staff

CAN'T GO WRONG

Janggo is indeed awesome, but I really couldn't think of a hero where I'd consider it core on. It's just good on everything, but required on nothing. Maybe you could give me an exception? There are certain things that I didn't put here but hopefully is common knowledge, like magic stick is always good, and bottle is good on solo mid. Any suggestions on which heroes don't deserve invisibility blade as core? (Lothars) Also, I think you're right for urn on ns, probably pudge. I disagree on vs and cm; those heroes don't always make it that far in their builds every game, and alternatively if they do well you might want them to build other support stuff instead like janggo or medallion, depending on the game.

Plenty, this is intended to be the bare minimum of guides.

You're right, it only works on the extra hits between slashes. Regarding radiance + soul ring build, I think it definitely can work, but I'd like to point out that the battlefury is already built is less gold than a soul ring + the cost of just the relic. Also, the soul ring is something you're going to end up selling late game for juggernaut; not a big deal, but I think if you farm a quick perseverance it actually goes into one of your dps items and is therefore a smoother buildup. The reason battlefury is good on certain melee heroes is not because it's the best right click item or lategame item, but it is the only item that gives hp and mana regen, ability to push, and the ability to clear out neutral creeps quickly all-in-one. You have to really take advantage of all the regen the perseverance gives during the buildup for battlefury to be worth it; it's probably not needed if all you're doing is free farming a lane while your team fights for you.
I liked Dota before it was Mainstream.

Suggestions for changes:

+ Show Spoiler [Str Heroes] +

Beastmaster - Vanguard is at this point more common than any of the other items you suggested. Suggesting both Gem AND Necronomicon is redundant--you don't need two sources of True Sight. I'd say Vanguard->Medallion, Pipe, or Vlads
Panda - Janggo takes priority over Scepter or Blink
DK - Vanguard/Pipe/Cuirass is more stable than Armlet builds IMO (it's also what Burning does every game). BKB is kind of awkward because you're a tanky shithead that's impossible to kill--you actually don't mind people wasting their spells on you, once you have Hood.
CK - Janggo first item. Illusions specifically do benefit from Endurance Aura-based effects (though they normally do not benefit from other auras)--meaning your damage potential with Janggo first is ridiculous.
Doom - Should list Radiance after Vanguard
Lycan - Medallion after Vlad's. It's too good for him, especially given how much easier it makes Rosh solos.

+ Show Spoiler [Agi Heroes] +

In general, I hate Lothar's. The sooner new players can be weaned off using Lothar's, the better. I don't consider it core on anyone.

Morphling - Ethereal Blade and Butterfly both deserve mentioning (Ethereal+Adaptive is hella funny when you can two-shot anyone who doesn't have BKB).
Bounty Hunter - Janggo > BFury at this point
Razor - Not even a mention of Manta?

+ Show Spoiler [Int Heroes] +

Lina - Should mention Force Staff. I'd probably get it before Eul's.
WR - Should mention Force Staff, after Mekan
Lion - Force Staff after Blink
Necrolyte - Vanguard/Mekan/Pipe--should get 2/3 before Sheepstick usually
Pugna - Dagon... -_- Aghanim's is actually quite fun on Pugna, because 0 CD Life Drain both makes you hard to kill, and bumps up your damage output by a lot.
OD - Should be getting Mekansm. Mekan->Force Staff->Sheepstick->whatever the fuck cuz you 3-shot people at this point
Batrider - 90% of the time, you need BKB after Blink.
Invoker - Usually Janggo after Phases
AA - Mekansm first, then Force Staff usually

I dislike lothars in general, I only get it on furion really. on the heroes which you usually get it its better to get something different, say Drow ranger, helm of domi>yasha>manta is far superior in my opinion. Dagger is also much better on SF then lothars, lothars just gets countered so easily by a simple dust.

BKB core on nerub weaver after radiance is questionable, I almost never get BKB on weaver, I just rush for heart, or I have a hood/vanguard.

Yeah I'm not a fan of shadow blade on Drow either, always preferred 2 wraith bands, yasha, helm, manta or helm then yasha/manta. But that is in pub games where the enemy isnt' always coordinated enough to abuse a Drow without good escape.

Midas on enigma... really? Are you playing on a team with no heroes capable of clearing the jungle at level 12?

I've never seen Midas on Enigma save for one game with Minigun where the other team did nothing to our jungle all game. I'd just rather see soul ring blink dagger and teamfighting with the black hole.

Might want to mention that you should get one level of arrow early even though you're maxing starfall on POTM. Anyway great job.

I do it sometimes too when I'm playing ricing enigma. Midas is just kinda good on everything these days, but it's not really core IMO except on furion, who really benefits from the extra exp and hitting lvl 11 quickly.

Very handy guide to keep around, shame i can't have this open on a second monitor since I have to d/c it when i play curse my laptop.

I don't see what all the hate is about lothar's, i guess maybe it's not as viable in pro games but in pubs it can really screw over teams fast (watching SF go invis -> BKB + ult in the middle of a teamfight is sad)
He's French-Canadian, so he's gonna do fast expand into stupid zealot timing into something else gay

Even if you're currently playing at the level where Lothar's is good, you'll eventually improve at the game and move up to the level where it's not--and at that point I think it's better to not have gotten in the habit of having it.

It's not like a stable HotD/Yasha build is bad in pubs.
