Terrorblade

Terrorblade is the demon marauder—an outlaw hellion whom even other demons fear. A cosmic iconoclast, he stole from the Demon Lords, ignored the codified rites that should have bound his behavior, and broke every law of the seven Infernal Regions. For his crimes, he was taught this lesson: even Hell has a hell. A short, brutal trial ensued, with many dead on all sides, and he was finally incarcerated in Foulfell, a hidden dimension where demonkind imprison their own.

But Foulfell is no normal prison. In this dark mirror of reality, demons are sentenced to gaze eternally into the twisted reflection of their own souls. But instead of suffering, Terrorblade made himself master of his own reflected worst self—a raging, thieving demon of unimaginable power. With his inner beast under sway, he destroyed the fractal prison walls and burst free to turn his terror loose upon all creation.

You can also go for the super efficient refresher build

So the idea is teamfight erupts your ally gets low you sunder him from full hp giving him full hp then refresh and sunder back on a full hp ennemy

Bonus point if you can get double dagon 5 off in the battle

I'm bad and played him for the first time. I really love armor boosting items and a shield and then just man-walk through creeps and towers to gank the fuck out of whoever tries to fight me. It was pretty amazing. As far as actual items, I haven't even tried anything but noob garbage like mek, yasha, and MoM. Very fun though so far.

Seemed like a typical illusion hero except metamorphosis is pretty disgustingly powerful, stat items seemed strong, especially skadi (and manta, illusion hero). Typical late game bfly/heart (though with skadi he's already tanky)/crit and maybe satanic all seem good. I think if you're spam making illusions leaving sunder til you are 10 might be good, as 1/4/4 lets you maximize your strengths early on (ranged +80 damage illusions and the slow). Late game the slow scales really well with enemy carries.

it appears to me there are two ways to play this hero. either get radi (rushed or delayed with boots and drums first) and then play like that naga build that recently resurfaced thanks to meracle, which means you splitpush and farm everywhere. or rather go down the drums manta skadi/butter/bkb route and actively participate in fights with absurd damage output. it felt to me that the naga style is actually outclassed by naga (riptide/insane escape allowing to dive into the enemy team, kill someone, tp out etc.) so mostly viable as an option to consider dynamically ingame according to the pace of the game. as for skillbuilds, qeewerewwwruuuuuuu...(ult at 16) seems like a solid build, as more points in refraction really seem to only pay off against few, very specific heroes and obivously tb wants stats like mad. of course, against an am you maybe want to max out refraction after the other skills.

He's pretty similar to non-Shotgun Morphling, actually, and reasonably easy to itemize for. If it gives stats, or is BKB, it's good (with the caveat that Diffusal isn't that great). As long as he's not behind terribly far, he can make a pretty big impact with Treads plus Drums, Yasha or BKB. You do have to pick your spots and be efficient, though, since the majority of his early-game scariness comes from Metamorphosis. In my head he's basically a combination of Morphling and Sven.

i don't know what to think about this hero, it seems that he can just manfight a whole team with very little items. I have seen it a couple times already, that he is really underfarmed yet he still completly crushes everyone. Early he can just burst down t1s with his illusions, the range and damage of his illusions even without any items is insane. I played against him in mid once and at some point he just sent his illusions to hit the tower, after doing this 3 or 4 times the tower was gone.

He feels so strong, fun to play too, though I hope Valve remodels his base model.

His solokill potential is really high surprisingly early for a carry, meta->illu->reflection leads to dead heroes immediately. The fact that reflection has the full duration at lvl 1 is insane, letting you max metamorph and conjure image first, making you into a pushing beast. If enemies leave your lane when metamorph is up, that's a lost tower.

Still unsure how to build him. PMS->Threads->Yasha feels strong, but the followup I'm more unsure about. Drums are good, Manta is strong, Skadi is strong as well. I'm thinking maybe drums -> BKB if the enemy lineup requires BKB, skadi rush if you're doing well, manta being a middle ground?

How is radiance on this hero? I haven't tried it yet, but I can imagine it would be very good if you get it at a good time.

What heroes are a decent counter to terrorblade? (IE aren't ripped apart by him).

I feel like you just totally don't need the item. He farms so fast anyway, and benefits so much from the first one or two big items, theres no point delaying it.

This, and stuns/disables. Stuff like Bane's Fiends Grip is probably amazing since has so low base HP and can't sunder.

Got a lot of people disagreeing with my statement that he's a ranged Lycan. Fine, how about a Naga that pushes like 3 times as fast? This hero does better in lane and teamfights than most other heroes that would rather be pushing than teamfighting, but that doesn't change the fact that pushing towers is still what he is best at. Why not play a hero to it's strengths?

If you can enter a skirmish or teamfight safely all AoE nukes have been spent then good for you, go for it. If you can find an easy pickoff with Lycan then yeah, go for it. The thing is that the strongest point of your hero is pushing towers. At level 7 when you have your early game core (basi or aquila, brown boots or treads,drums or yasha), and the enemy leaves your lane, you can take two towers in just one minute. Later when you have manta, level 4 illus and level 4 meta you can have 3 instant meta illus that you just send at a tower. 16 sec later you have another meta illusion ready, and when manta is off cd again you'll still be in ranged form so you can create another 3 meta illus. No other hero can push down towers both this fast and this safe.

This hero such an insane ricer.

Easily same level/better than naga siren with radiance. Difference being you're also insanely strong early game due to metamorphosis and the insane armor you start with, plus the agi gain of 3.2. Buy a PMS and RoB in laning phase and you're unkillable by most heroes.

Personally I think ET is a legit hero vs him. You see like 30 armor + endgame TB's all the time being unkillable and shit. Have an AC up on the team + medallion & ET, GG.
You must gather your party before venturing forth.

Finally my 3rd favorite carry is in the game. Used to play him when he still had life drain and you could jungle him.
I suppose the good old mass stats build will still work?
And i suppose maxing meta first and then illusions is the best skill build, getting sunder at 10/11?

SnY or manta? Thoughts?

So far I've found the radiance build very underwhelming (still strong just compared to other builds radiance doesn't add much)
