Boots/Stick/TP/Wards/Sentries/blink is extremely common as a support. Can sub dust for sentries or whatever. also smoke. Also bottle, drums, force, urn, etc. Hell even carries with like manta satanic drums boots TP wand or bkb or something (okay okay who the hell goes manta satanic. Maybe manta diffusal?) Luna can go Manta + Satanic. You can definitely end up with 6 activatable items- BKB, Manta, Treads, TP, Wand, and HotD/Satanic. | ||

The fundamental goal of Orchid-first QoP is to present a solo-kill threat against most enemy heroes with her high burst damage and control the map this way before heroes have outs against Orchid like BKB--then using the farm advantage from that map control to get a 2nd major item before the enemy does. Being "brittle" doesn't matter in this scenario because you shouldn't be looking for full-on 5v5 fights prior to your second major item and focus primarily on finding those kills or forcing the enemy to spread out and expose themselves to those kills (e.g. pushing lanes into towers to force TPs). If you get caught split-pushing or counter-killed during a gank/solo-kill that's more on bad decision making/execution than needing more survivability from your first item. Linken's is essentially fully farm/split-push oriented where you don't plan on killing things until your 2nd major item. BKB and Agha are aimed at 5v5ing with different types of teamcomps. yango with the knowledge bomb, thanks Yango! | ||

1. Solo kill everyone, make space, make them scared, get fat. this is what you are hoping for when you go early orchid 2. Win teamfights early and get your team fat qop has awful scaling but her ult+scream is most powerful between lvl 6 -11. if you choose to farm less i think the best build is bkb -> hex. BKB lets you survive in the middle of early teamfights and spam scream, while hex is probably the highest impact 2nd item + it address your lack of utility. | ||

She's a ranged hero with a 6 second blink. Hit stuff. | ||

I find myself maxing out Q/W and going for stats instead of E because W is already fairly solid waveclear and surviving longer in fights/having slightly more mana could turn out to be pretty important (in my mind). | ||

For items the most important thing is blink dagger. Most SK's don't even get arcanes before blink these days so you should get it really fast with the amazing power of clearing camps with sandstorm. | ||

A couple of points early for jungling to blink, sure, but by the time you're looking at lv 3 & 4 the time for jungling is generally past. Or are talking maxing W before Q to get blink faster? As a combat spell it's pretty underwhelming, imo. | ||
