The radiance visage is stronger before remake.. ie transfered to mercurial dispersion..
and in its many remake form.. i.e. kill creep + damage..
in its current soul assumption, mek seems stronger to sustain your bar for nuke spam.

What's my ideal 6 slot lategame Furion? While I know it's situational, it would still be nice to have a rough outline of what to go for.

For me its: Mjollnir, Treads, Daedalus, Desolator, Orchid and MKB. Of course the game would determine if I would go something like Agh's, Manta, or Necro book.

1. right click on it with bottle in inventory.
2-5. config menu can adjust all that to your personal preference. You can use legacy keys from DotA no problem.
6. because it annoys me.
7. dunno for sure but im pretty sure they are the same or very similar. The ward spot areas for blocking camps have changed I think.

Good answers, for a better answer for 6:

Imagine yourself hiding next to a tower (like in the trees next to tier 1 radiant mid) whe the enemy team is pushing. If you have autoattack you will attack a creep/hero and make yourself visible to the enemy team. You could theoratically just spam rightclick on the ground but I am too lazy to do that so I turn it off.

"Situational" is probably an understatement since Furion is just that flexible.

Mjolnir, BKB, AC, MKB/Crit, Satanic would be a first position build that works well.

Urn, Mek, Lothars, Necrobook, Sheep would be more of a third position Furion.


I think it would be easier if you would link us lineups/situations where you had trouble figuring out what to build. I'd say the main differences are between straight up fighting items (Mjol, BKB, AC, Crit, Satanic, MKB, Manta), control (Sheep, Orchid), teamfight (Mek, Necrobook, AC) or ganking/splitpushing items (Lothars, Necro, Urn). Probably the only way to end up with really bad items is if you pull a n0tail and can't decide what exactly it is that you're doing in a specific game.

hey thx. so for bottle, does that mean there's no way for me to use a rune without sticking it in my bottle? I guess i would have to drop the bottle, then pick up the rune huh.

Why wouldn't you want to stick it in your bottle? Just pick it up and then use it.

if you already have a rune in the bottle(only occasion you wouldn't want to use it with the bottle) it won't pick it up and just use it automatically

yeah but I dont see why that would matter. you can just bottle the rune and then use the bottle to activate it.

There are so many ways to play the hero. If you want to go for a carry-ish build then something like Treads / Orchid / Sheepstick / and some combination of Daedulus, MKB, BKB, Deso, Mjollnir, etc depending on what you need (true strike, magic immunity, - armor, lightning or w/e). I love Sheepstick on NP, but if your team has enough crowd control and needs more damage output you can choose to have another damage item over it. Shadow Blade can be a good pick up if you think the game will present enough solo killing opportunities or you want to be a little safer when split pushing.

If you want to go for a utility role then items like Mek, Orchid, Vlads, Necrobook, Sheepstick, Force Staff are all viable.

I have been playing a lot of Skywrath Mage and I'm going something like 15-3 literally every single game by the 25-30 minute mark but I feel like I can't ever carry. I forego farming usually by the 15 minute mark/when I'm level 11 and just roam a lot and try to one-shot squishies. My build is usually Arc Boots -> Rod of Atos -> Bloodstone -> Force Staff -> Orchid. My problem is that I feel like I'm not carrying hard enough and the games feel a lot closer than they should be and I don't know why, although I'm guessing my build is probably utter shit. I've played him mid every time. If there's something I need to clarify please do say so :3

Bump the Force Staff to #1 position, then Atos. I would forgo Bloodstone for a Sheepstick but that's just me. You need way more int (which BS doesn't give you) if you want to be the ultra hard carry. He's not a real hard carry, regardless Sheep > BS.

Skywrath isn't a carry by any means. You spend your early game killing everything and hoping that the rest of your team uses that space to farm enough to take over the carry role in the late game. Your item choices aren't horrible, through a sheepstick will situationally be stronger than orchids.

Focus your ganking on less random ganks and more on creating space for your carry/shutting down their carry.

thanks for the tips guys, yeah I understand that SM isn't a carry at all but it kind of sucks relying on pub carries who can barely get a battlefury by the 25 minute mark, so I just try to farm their carry as best as possible lol. Never really thought about sheepstick, I just thought Bloodstone would be a good %mana regen item because it also gives a ton of health. Will try out later, thanks again

edit: another question, where can I find out how tower aggro/targeting works? It seems completely random to me.

Basically, it attacks the closest target unless units attack it. Then it attacks the closest unit that's attacking it. Unless someone is attacking a hero. Then it will attack the closest unit/hero attack this allied hero.
You can drop the aggro at any time by attacking move an allied unit.
