I think vanguard is a superior replacement for Vlad's if you get a yasha first (after treads + bf). I'll have to play with the build more though.

I'm just going to wait until after Epicenter to re-evaluate Anti-Mage. Just not sure when Vanguard is, but I tried it earlier on and didn't fully appreciate it and how it delayed my other items.

I'll switch out Orchid of Aghs

Arcane and Meka over Tranq + Drums?

Tomorrow is last stats, so last changes tonight/tomorrow.

Midas?

I think if you get vanguard you get it early. By the time you have BF and half of manta, vanguard's window is closing so it's really just an abyssal component at that point.

I would put it in situational at minimum.

It's kind of arbitrary whether you call it core. If an item is the right choice in... idk... 40% of games and detrimental in the rest, is it core? What if that's 60% in 2k games? Idk either is fine.

Just played Doom Jungle. Meka would come too late, though I see its value (along with Pipe). Maybe Greaves late-game??

I have to figure out the timings because I go Basi -> Iron Talon -> Tranq

Been going Jungle: Iron Talon + Tango -> Boots -> Radiance.

come out of the jungle with doom and lvl 4 scorched earth + a mek and you're ready to team fight and steam roll.

yes, greaves late game as the 4pos jungle is a must. again, makes you survivable and it boosts your utility in teamfights.

you can go iron talon, tango, stout, arcanes, then mek. try out the item progression I had in the game I posted. and if its still coming up late, let me watch the replay and see if its an issue with the build or your jungle rotation (but my ~15 mek arcanes was actually delayed for me, too lol)

jungle spawns definitely play a huge role in how fast your item progression comes out HP regen creep or +armor creeps are super crucial.

oh, and again...what does echo sabre core mean!?! for what heroes lol

Riki, Sven and slark are the heroes he's asking about. You can't see the icons?

Personally I think it's situational on all of them, but I can't deny that it's popular.

I'm doing Meka until I see it more used in matches. It's not as common as you keep pushing it and the timing/team-cooperative demand from it makes it a risky buy; especially if inefficiently farm.

Situational on Riki. Pretty good on Slark and Sven

    i think aghs is a must have for any core mirana now, with blink highly recommended to set up a huge burst that destroys supports. something like phase/treads -> aquila -> aghs. bottle if she goes mid. after aghs, and blink, u can just get the usual core mirana items (manta, mjollnir, bfly, crit/mkb etc..)

    Got some feedback that once again: Medusa needs updating. I just played her and I sort of agree.
    Back to the drawing board.


    Played a Lifestealer that went:

    Phase -> Armlet -> Echo Sabre -> Radiance
    was cool

    So I registered here. Since I was the one to propose you the remake the whole Faceless Void build, I'd have some other ideas to make it better.

    For starting items: still fine for 6.87. nothing to change.

    But now there's an item I'd like to point out: Vanguard. To be fair, with this item, Time Walk and Time Dilation, it becomes very hard for Void to die. It gives him a lot of damage block on top of tank stats that really helps his new initiator role.
    Would it be better to add it as another situational item? Or put Aghs in situational and vanguard in the core.
    Obviously upgrading it into crimson armor if the team needs it, but it's not necessary to add as Void needs other items.

    "Aghanim's Scepter no longer increases Chronosphere's duration from 4/4.5/5 to 4/5/6"

    Which definitely makes it less worthwhile than it used to be. I don't think it's worth being core anymore as it only decreases cooldown.

    About Blink Dagger. With the Time Walk range buff it seems to have become less picked, but imo should stay core, Time Walk can't be enough to initiate.

    Situational: fine, Echo Sabre is up for debate thought. "Time Lock no longer deals double damage inside Chronosphere" so is it worth picking up this item anyways?

    Extension: BKB is good, MKB too, for Refreshers thought, I don't know. It's very, very expensive and hard to optimize. You will also need abysmal mana pool to use it. 975 mana to be exact with the chronospheres. You will need some items like Aghs/Sabre if you wanna have enough mana for it. Up to you.

    I'd swap Mjollnir for Manta Style. More all-rounded stats for a lesser cost, debuff removing as Time Walk doesn't do this and illusions can do more damage than chain lightning.

    There's another item that I am wanting to test: Radiance. It looks like it could work on Void. Got to test.

    Vanguard Radi is the safelane Wagamama build, current build revolves around offlane Void, not safelane Void, Offlane Void is the build being played mostly in pro games right now.

    Offlane Void's primary purpose is to initiate, not deal damage. Obviously in pubs its fairly scary to go full initiation over solid dps and okey initiation because u really cant trust ur teammates to follow up properly. Current build is mix of teamfight, initiation and some dps to make sure u are somewhat relevant even if u cant get off 5 man chronos constantly.

    Personally im not huge fan of aghs either but the fact that cooldown goes down so much and when the current meta is all about fighting constantly, not around big cooldowns, short cooldown on such a big teamfight spell its pretty damn good.

    Also if u check out the build closer u see the core being Vlads Blink Aghs (teamfight + initiation) and situational Sabre Diffusal (DPS).

    Whether we want to move back to Safelane Void over Offlane Void is up to Torte and how meta changes in the future.
    Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you to their level and then beat you with experience. http://www.dotabuff.com/players/115305822 https://yasp.co/players/115305822

    Yea I know it's offlane, but Vanguard is a great choice even on offlane because of how strong it is for its price right now.
