1) PA farms extremely fast if you spam her spells for it and get lucky with crits. Dagger-->Blink-->Crit and you can basically move on to the next camp. AM still has the edge because he doesn't need to run as much though, which is overlooked (I remember some math in a QoP guide that showed early boots weren't that good on her because of Blink). 2) BF is still a strong item without cleave. Not sure about dps when compared to Manta, but you want/need regen. I'm pretty sure it works well in pubs. | ||

Just because you can only see "CLEAVE DOESN'T WORK ON RANGE", it doesn't mean that it is not viable. 60 damage for 4k + 150% mana regen is really good on medusa. And it is way better than rushing a manta. If the enemy has no single target disables, Bfury is may one of the best starting item. I mean, as a regen/farming item I have a hard time believing that BFury is going to be better than Linken, which is the most typical first item on Medusa. | ||

Well, like I when the enemy doesn't have much that gets blocked by linkens, a bfury is totally viable. But yea a linkens is always better, when you can make use of the spell block. | ||

And even in "good" pub games this could happen. | ||

You could use the gold you pay for cleave on another item for more dmg | ||

Lvl 1 is pretty bad, yeah, slightly longer than standard attack range, but that's why it's maxed first by most AMs, right? ^^ On September 09 2012 18:46 Crissaegrim wrote: Guys, BF and Linken on medusa is a legit build. Wtf are you guys talking about? Looking at dotabuff.com, BF has a 61.70% win rate whereas Linkens has a 68.43% win rate. Taken together, its a whopping 130.13% chance to win. How can you possibly lose? Dat Bruno reference. | ||
