Skin does work on spells, but only if they damage him, which astral does not. I don't think he has a chance mid against OD without some support harass

Also, I've said this before, Viper/OD comes down to creep control. Because if one side gets the creep wave frozen on their high ground, the other side isn't going to have a way to break the equilibrium, neither are bottle/rune heroes, and both heroes don't have escapes so they can't just play on the other guy's high ground. If one guy manages to stabilize the lane on his high ground the other hero spends the rest of laning last-hitting from low ground.

Broodmother could do well.

In a real game, she wins if she gets to Soul Ring (partly because of the DotA 2 bug where the Soul Ring mana buffer allows you to cast spells you don't have enough Intel to cast). In tournament 1v1 its a lot harder if Soul Ring isn't allowed.

Of course, then it's Broodmother, who's even more lane-centric than OD is.

RoB or clarity potions are pretty effective if you're restricting soul ring.

Enchantress and Undying have potential to do well too I believe.

OD vs viper is slightly in favour of od.
but basically the better player wins that

What's the standard item buildup for PA? I got flamed for getting BFury in 16 mins, saying it sucks so bad for PA. What am I suppose to get? Rush BKB?

BFury is not bad on PA but it kind of sucks in pubs because it stalls your development for a long time.

The problem isn't just regen, the problem is having 120 max mana up often enough. Soul Ring bypasses this because it adds the 150 mana buffer which allows you to cast Spiderlings with 1 Intel (even though this should not be the case--the Soul Ring mana buffer isn't supposed to allow you to cast spells that your Intel is too low to cast even if the amount of mana it gives you is enough to cast the spell).

Why didn't you tell him that PA farms faster than AM?

Why not? Item description states that it adds 150 mana temporarily, so it has nothing to do with INT. I guess WC3 Dota feature?

battlefury on PA. Hmm, that's oddly familiar. Almost as if we had this debate before with one infamous poster.

Oh gosh you guys... What should be my item buildup. I've been pissing away games thinking BFury is standard on PA like it is on AM.

I guess Phase/Wand/Drums/BKB is the way to go?

cleave is nice when you have a magnus or absolute freefarm and hard-to-gank enemy heroes in which case you really should have picked antimage or built an invoker+void core or something like that but lets just say you got outdrafted or weren't paying any attention to enemy picks and don't give a shit; in that situation a battlefury is nice because it allows you to farm fast and get 6-slotted very fast plus you have the potential for crit cleave teamwipes. PA is a scary 6-slotted hero by any means. It's just that she's not that scary when OTHER heroes are 6-slotted. So battlefury can be good in some situations.

I'd get bfury everytime IF I can get it within ~17 min. Beyond that probably bkb so I can be of some use in team fights. How is it shit on PA? It's an amazing item for farming + sustain.
