I dont mind putting it in situational.

Like you gotta remember that when you say something is core players interpret that as "I must get this item no matter what" so you're gonna get some shitty players that go for 10-15 minute midases ruining your pub experience.


this is correct.

Need a bit of help figuring out Medusa; not really played competitively and most top players are not consistent.
Medusa is same where Linken's teeters on situational or Core

linkens is definitely situational, there's a bunch of strat forum posters who would hate you forever if you put it in core

i'd make medusa's core phase, wand, aquila, skadi, extension bfly, situational rapier/daedalus/mkb/bkb

you could probably get a big argument going over yasha vs mom as the earlygame farming item (i'm personally an advocate of mom). certain people would definitely hate you if you put manta in anywhere other than situational, because it's so terrible for any reason other than the dispel

It's actually more useful for sieging high ground than for the dispel.

even if you got it for the dispel people will hate you

source: i got it for the dispel in a TLIH and never heard the end of it despite it being good in that game

i haven't personally tried a MoM build but i have heard good things. but actually don't know how to build her in this patch so i wouldn't know how to transition out

If u take i account for whom this guide is intented to, i would put yasha over mom anytime.

as a medusa, u are going to stay in ur safelane+jungle for the first 20min atleast, why would u go wand (even if it makes u slightly tankier), i dont get it? Well, ofc u can buy it vs bb or something, otherwise it just delays ur farming items / overall item timing.

phase treads is another big argument, someone else who has tried both enough should list pros and cons for both.

Agree with the manta, shouldnt be core, situational is fine.

i get wand precisely because i don't like farming for 20 minutes straight; i like to join tower defenses early on.

i don't think mom is particularly hard to use; the only damage that's amped is the damage that's not blocked by mana shield, and you usually won't die because of it...

in a vacuum i'd agree with the wand thing but you're not gonna go unmolested for 20 full minutes. 17 wand charges is a big deal with mana shield.

I don't really agree with adding Blink Dagger to situational items. It's rarely bought on morph and not really recommended in almost every game. If you add Blink Dagger to situational items on morph, you pretty much have to add Blink Dagger to every hero

the blink dagger is for the support morph builds for that long range long duration stun. the problem is that there are no separate guides for core and support morph.

I won't be advocating for support Morphling.

Any other item suggestions for Morphling? I'll remove the Blink Dagger.

then u shud probably remove aghs too, i cant see why a core morph would want it.

i think bottle is definitely worth getting. moonshards is a natural luxury/extension.

There are times I think all these guides need a YOLO/FORLOLZ section. I think aghs morph fits right in there. But clearly that would be a ton of work for a pretty silly joke.
