Also to note, I will scale back the itemization of Silver Edge. Someone made the suggestion here before and I didn't acknowledge it until now.

Shadow Blade will resume as core and Silver Edge will go as Extension, there are exceptions to this of course (depends on the hero + synergy)

It's not always necessary or other items may be a higher general priority.

It's more: which heroes (I haven't looked into it yet) want to go Silver Edge before going onto equally good items?

So instead of having Silver Edge on Core which implies that they need to get it. It will go to Extension where it becomes a choice.

Some heroes benefit just from the invisibility and others can take advantage of the maim, minimal extra health and upgrade in damage + break.




The obvious answer is: depends on the enemy line-up and how well or poorly you're doing. Sadly that can't be distinguished in such limited spacing, so it's a balancing act. If you have a point you want to make, you should post it instead of quizzing me, so I can adjust these guides accordingly.

i think he's implying, and based on your response, that you should probably do that for all heroes and not leave out anyone.

I couldn't understand, but this is much more direct and clear, thank you for clarifying and I'm sorry Ahswtini.




Shadow Blade will be the default with Silver Edge is a potential possibility for certain heroes.

That'll be everything I'm updating. Nature's Prophet needs a massive makeover and Weaver faces the issue of making Linken's Core despite its decline in popularity. If not, what becomes Core without giving too many options for guide-users.

I really need to innovate the Nature's Prophet guide.

okay, but then to his point, what heroes are getting silver edge as core and why?

as for weaver, for me, he's tricky to build because he is so squishy but you want to take advantage of his geminate with high dmg items like deso, which should definitely be core IMO.

really, he's a glass cannon and should be taking advantage of his shukuchi to position himself properly or just avoid fights until he's fully online. IMO linkens should be under situational, because i've seen weavers pick it up even when there are no targeted stuns (which is really good for a weaver, and probably the only circumstance i would pick him)

Natures - there's not really much to the hero although im surprised blink dagger is missing

oh and tinkers are typically going for some variation 2-2-0 build before maxing march IIRC

one last edit..i hate you for JUST putting force staff in for abaddon..would have saved me a million in a half times over the course of the last game i played

Weaver depends whether you want to endorse 1-4-1-1 + Stats as standard.

Why does Leshrac (Middle) have Tranquil boots as an extension item?

When I first made it, I was being needlessly cautious. I've been playing a lot of Leshrac recently; so I will change it to Boots of Travel.

Legion Commander (we kept the choice between Blink and Silver Edge) and other heroes who enjoy the extra damage as a whole (Kunkka per chance)? I haven't taken a closer look, but that was my initial thought.

Slark as well perhaps.

Nature's: His build is just all wrong and even poorly structured; I want to make it more lean and straight-forward.

I saw both 2-2 and also the current build tinker has.

As for Abaddon: ha, yeah. That's actually someone who told me that no Force Staff was criminal and that I should aim to use these guides to educate players even more.

legion, as long as blink dagger remains in there seems fine. the extra burst synergizes well and if you immediately duel, they can't bkb off the debuff..just remove agha from her build lol..there are next to zero situations where it is useful even though she has the upgrade

kunkka, im gonna disagree with solely because you aren't always going to want to run up to the enemy and right click them with that bonus dmg. it should be situational because this depends on the game.

slark is situational as well. if you look at what you get from the upgraded silver edge, you get +10 dmg, no attack speed increase, an additional burst of 50 dmg and a 5sec break/dmg reduction. in certain situations, like you're playing against a PA, the debuff is great..however once bkb's come online, that benefit is gone and you could have had something like a basher, skadi, ac, etc

and this is true of pretty much any hero that wants to buy this item. so you have to highly consider the game state when you're thinking about upgrading past lothar. that's why it is situational more often than not.

RE: tinker, i would argue that 2-2 offers you more solo kill potential in the lane or if you get a haste or go fountain and rotate to one of the side lanes, but that's up to you.

and as for force staff..it is definitely criminal to not have it in any support guides
