Honestly, I think he's little more than a nice carry for beginners, I really don't think he makes any sense in a competitive lineup. His Q is definitely not good enough for him to work as a support, and his ulti is just meh. It's a free aegis, but then again, it feels like SK is in no position to outcarry anyone, aegis or not. If SK is in the position where he's carrying hard enough that his ulti is a big deal, he probably doesn't need the ulti anyway since he's so tanky.

Well i actually like Skeleton King.
I play him carry like n'aix, but aftermordrigan, i go for a bkb
his passive crit can show some good numbers héhé
You can jungle with them, but u have to take lich life at level 1, then crit at level 2 than max the stun for an eventual gank.
Jungle SK is not really efficient, but you can if you want to.

basically luna will build a bkb sooner(like 2nd or 3rd but then again it can sometimes go that way on gyro as well) and consider items like satanic over items like divine rapier, and maybe a butterfly at the time a gyro would likely go for a mkb, they do build quite similarly.
also deadalus sometimes on luna over mkb always on gyro since (i think) the bounce will scale from the crit damage

EDIT: also treads/tranqs and phase is a difference. Maybe think about it this way, luna finishes a bkb and then goes for bfly, gyro finishes bkb and goes for mkb, difference is like that.

btw in dota 1 luna would lose her attack animation completely i think it was. How did that work exactly did she do damage instantly or not at all did glaives fuck up?

Huskar is great in low level / beginner games.

Doesn't mean he's good

(Mobility for SK is his main weakness - melee carries need some way to actually...hit the other heroes. Every prevalent melee carry has someone to close distance easily, skeleton king has a stun, but...it really just isn't enough).

Can you run him more like the blink-sven role (though that's not exactly super viable/popular anyways)? Vs single targets his stun is a little better from a damage/disable standpoint with a shorter CD and vamp aura could be a nice boost to your team if you're running a melee carry that's not Na'ix.

So something like treads-drums-dagger-AC or idk what to lead up to dagger.

How do you win mid as puck vs ta? I feel like puck loses the matchup but there must be something he can do

Otherwise, call for ganks from your supports with sentries, and kill her early and often.

Want to say thanks to the people who answered my last question. Have tried out Luna a few times now and am a bit stuck on how to lane with her/what to build. I Find that if the enemy lane has a decent nuker its really hard to stay in lane and farm up the BKB/lifesteal/damage for the midgame (dependent on which is needed) - are tranquils a decent pickup on her due to her insane base movespeed or is treads rush the most important item? How can you survive better with her in lane?
