Hey Torte, I just wanted to say that the immense amount of work you have put into this is nothing short of amazing. I may have mentioned this earlier in the thread, but I have had this bookmarked for quite a while, and it is my go-to when looking up hero builds. Keep up the good work and congrats on your success with the guides thus far.

An early point in Lina's E is good ? Maybe WQQEQR or WQQEWR.

Early point in Lina's E is situational based on how fast you are levelling and how many right clicks you manage to contribute in fights (more than some supports considering her 635 range). Cookie-cutter build without is probably fine.

Generally you don't level Fiery Soul until you've maxed the two nukes. There are some exceptions, but as Sn0_Man said, cookie-cutter omitting it is fine, since this is generally the norm.

It's kind of a gimmick playstyle, but leaving q/w at level 1 for the lower mana costs and having 1/1/4/1 + phase + medallion works pretty well against unsuspecting pubs. Needs a lot of team protecting you / supports camping lane for you, but you dish out a fuckton of damage and take towers really fast.

If by "gimmick" you mean "really bad" then ur spot on.

you cant out-auto ur nuke damage until well after u can have at least slave + inner fire maxed. Leaving LSA at level 1 is generally still bad but justifiable if ur trolling. Plus if you max inner fire then you can't even farm well which I'd assume is how you transition a right-click based build into mid-late game.

PPS the first level in inner fire is way way better than the next ones anyway.

That's the thing. Any apparent benefit from a "carry" Lina that maxes Fiery Soul first is outweighed by the fact that max nukes farms faster and transitions into carrying better off that higher farming speed.

Actually, on the subject of lina, your combo is higher damage if you get 3 in slave then max LSA due to how the abilities scale (both of them scale really really unintuitively). However, slave's shorter cd and longer range/AoE means that you will still generally output more teamfight damage with it maxed first.

Just a little-known lina tip.

Main reason I still max DS over LSA is because DS is more dependable to hit.

I'm finding rushing Aghanim's on Pugna to be real fucking annoying. I don't think I've ever seen it lose.
The idea of rushing Aghanim's feels bad, but thus far; it has proven to be more dominant and effect in team-rights than the other items I have on the current Pugna build; which feels dated to how he is currently being played.

Bottle should be on there as situational when he's played mid. Laning Pugna probably will skip it.

Drums should probably be taken out, or moved to situational. Mek should certainly stay core.

I'd probably change Necro1 to Necro3 (being a bit nitpicky) and move that over to Extension just because it's so damn good and it fits with how you play the hero.

i almost never get aghs on pugna, mana items or nec3 seems better in most cases. I like to get euls or sheep on him, rarely get force, never get drums.

Oh yeah I'd definitely move Force to situational as well.

edit: Basically I think your guide paints him too much as a support hero when he really should be played as a core.

I agree I paint him as too much support.
Also, you can't change Necro1 to Necro3, there is only the Necro1 icon.
