Yea her trap hotkey doesn't work yet. Still, what an amazing hero. Medallion is all you need to crunch fools.

As for skilling, I really like E/W/W/Q/W/R/W/E/E/E/R generally because the added attack range gives you the ability to position well in team fights, Meld is just your crush noobs skill, and Q is useful but more than one point is useful only in rare circumstances.

As for items, Medallion for the regen, then phase, blink/bkb/drums depending on how good/poor you are doing, then crit. Blink isn't core if you have good disables/initiation.


how do you use meld in the lanes combined with medallion? do you medallion, meld behind creep line and then attack when they get close?

Detonate trap, RUN IN AND RAPE. You won't have medallion much before level 6, so where's the issue?


i was just asking since i've never played lanaya before lol and i have no idea what to do (in test client)

I played her a lot and trust me, that's what you do

Well her W is absolutely ridiculous. It is a ton of -armor, and a huge amount of damage (improved by the -armor). Combined with medallion and her ult slow, heroes without escapes just die. Just try ganking a wisp in lane one time. I guarantee lvl 7 Lanaya vs lvl 4/5 wisp, you will almost one-shot them with meld+strike.

thank you both! also, trap placement - do you just place them pretty much whenever the CD is up? they're super cheap and invis too

edit: nvm i just saw the max traps limit

Use the as wards. One on the most obvious gank route, one on each of rune spots (give control to allies if you can't handle them), gank globally ! General rule is, you have one trap ready for immediate use, 2 on runepots and rest in random places where enemies may be.

A short story to show how you use traps well
I was laning top as sentinel(radiant), put my very fisrt trap in the jungle to spot for ganks. 40 minutes later I farm top and a trap spots a gank squad for me. I realize it's my first trap ever, go "NOSTALGIA ;_;" and live happily ever after.

I always max meld first, -8 armor >rest. Lanaya's skill builds vary depending on play styles and what the enemies are capable of doing, don't ever deal in absolutes with her

Meld without high range is kinda meh.

Refraction gives you 80 extra damage for 5 hits, way more than meld and the damage block is ofc also really huge.
The minus armor from meld doesn't really matter tbh, because most TA get a medaillon and since negative armor values scale horrible, the -8 armor from meld is not that useful early on, only when people have more armor anyway.

I can see the maxing Q. Tbh it has been so long since I have played her, I am going to do nothing but autopick her for the next 50 or so games. It will give me time to figure things out again. Still, the one hero I have been most excited for.

I'm a fan of deso before crit on her. Not sure why you would do things the other way.

I get psiblades at lvl1, then max meld. I get one level of refraction early in some situations, otherwise I get psiblades up to lvl 3 before maxing refraction. Medallion into deso into crit. Blink is nice but not too necessary imo.

Not worth spending your gold on Vanguard when you could buy a Blink Dagger instead.

Most pro games tend to go
Core - Bottle, wand, phase and blink dagger
Follow up - Desolator, bkb and insert situational dps item here.

Really can't wait to play her, watched so much of her in diesmilling's highlight vids.

Just played a game where the enemy Antimage starts the game by saying "Fuck you Zeus! Spell are for nerds!"

I really like linkens when playing lanaya, myself.
But that's a very personal preference.
From the Ghastly Eyrie I can see to the ends of the world, and from this vantage point I declare with utter certainty that this one is in the bag!

If you're going to go blink dagger you need some hp, in which case I'd go treads instead of phase.

I know blink is fun as hell but I still think using that 2150 gold for faster deso is more useful imo.
