Brewmaster's Dispel Magic instantly kills Naga's Illusions. Does it work on all kinds of Illusions?

Are there any tips for the dire top pull so that you don't get multiple waves when you stack the camp first? So often the ranged creep doesn't go far enough toward the stack and then the next wave gets pulled into the creeps as well and messes everything up.

Don't aggro the camp before your creeps does as this will move the battlefield further towards the lane. Don't pull if there's a siege engine in the creep wave. Judge the strength of the camp, deny aggressively if the camp is strong (like Wolfs/Centaur) and wait for a triple stack if you got a weak camp (like Ogres/Satyrs).

It does 200 damage to Illusions. If it instantly kills them, it's because their HP isn't high enough.

How do I play necrolyte, kind of a weird hero. What items, what lane, and what farm priority are typical? So far I've been playing him as a 1 or 2, and starting with treads + wand ---> mek. From there either utility intelligence items like Shivas or Sheepstick, Aghs, or Bloodstone if the games going really well.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems his role is basically to build items for health and rmana regen in order to stick around a fight spamming Q as much as possible?

you got him pretty much spot on. you could go the pub style carry build which aims for a radiance. you farm insanely fast and you dish out very respectable dmg. fun to play as well

A superfast mek followed by either a pipe or some other tanky/utility item is much stronger than a radiance.

Necrolyte doesn't carry by hitting stuff hard. He carries by out-sustaining everyone else, tanking damage while healing his entire team and continuously damaging the enemies all around him with his aura and death pulse spam. Radiance burn helps him with that but a Mek/Pipe/Shivas or some other source of armor helps far more.

this isnt a discussion about which is the better build. i specifically said for a pub style build to have fun you can go radiance. it works end of discussion.

Question about CK:

For Chaos Bolt, the stun and damage are random. For example, the description says 1-4 seconds and 75-250 damage for level 3. Does this mean that a level 3 chaos bolt has an equal chance to do 1, 2, 3, or 4 seconds of stun and some sort of increment for the damage? Or is it any duration/damage amount between the two thresholds? Or different for the two?

well if you only have manaboots youre not a "carry" necro. rushing skadi with any hero doesnt really work anyway, since the buildup is ridiculous. so not really feasible unless you have a huge lead already. not sure why youd think skadi is a counter to naix anyway, since hell just hit harder against you. just get a ghost scepter, not as a second item though

I mean, you're probably gonna die before you ever get a skadi, but ok. Armor would be better, shivas or ac or mek or something. Or just get a ghost scepter.

basically any integer between the ranges.
Logic fails because we are lazy.

Skadi as your first main item is really bad. Mek/Radiance/Bloodstone is all good for carry Necro. Followup with Shivas/Sheep/ or Pipe if they are heavy Spell Damage.

You can still find plenty of games that aren't from tournaments. It's harder to find replays of actual scrims and what not since those games are usually private lobbies, but you can easily find pubs anywhere. If you're looking for first person gameplay then you can find stream vods etc.

What can you do in a pub (so dual lanes) vs an offlane lone druid that constantly pulls your creeps through the jungle?
