Expect to see 8 (2 completed, 6 more coming) more guides hitting 1 million unique each in 15 days or so.

someone suggested Blink Dagger on Ember Spirit; I still don't understand how it would work beyond ensuring good Bolas.

i've had to play a lot of ember the past week because of the battle pass challenges, bought dagger once or twice. dagger is situational, it's good when the enemy has a lot of heroes who can catch you out after your sof ends. normally i think you would get it after battlefury + crit

also manta belongs in situational on ember IMO, you don't really want to get it unless the enemy has an orchid/some other silence that can catch you out when split pushing

i think ogre shud have a soul ring, not just for early game but also for when u have aghs

u have daedalus twice, idk if that is an oversight or if ur recommending double daedalus (isnt two bfuries better dps)

IIRC u have to catch a certain number of units in SoF for double bfury to be better than double daedelus

...that's not why you get blink at all. Remnant is enough to get away after SoF. If you can get out with blink, you can get out with remnant. Using blink does save remnant charges in super long fights, but that's a pretty minor benefit.

You actually get blink to squeeze in more autoattacks when the enemy team is lacking instant disables.
eg. instead of standing at a distance and doing: place remnant -> SoF -> remnant out
you go: place remnant -> blink on someone -> auto -> SoF to dodge whatever goes on you -> remnant out

It's a significant amount of extra damage if you're good enough to do it, and there's obviously a ton of extra utility in other situations.

However, I'm not convinced guide-level players have any business trying that stuff. Most of the time the combo would really go: blink on someone -> try to hit them -> die.

Ok, no blink for Ember

I'm very happy on the Legion Commander changes, thanks for the suggestion.
I played an Alchemist game yesterday as Mid with Radiance, BoT, etc. I really dislike the build as a whole and wish there was a more offensive type after Radiance. I tried to do Radiance -> BoT -> AC + Mjollnir + Heart, but still got trampled despite decent farm. I think I built the wrong items and didn't really have any damage to compensate this late into the game.

Look into Miracle's builds during the Frankfort major.

I believe it was blink, medallion, sny, AC.

The lane build at the moment is basically that, aside from torte's inexplicable hard-on for shadowblade over blink. The solar is later too, which I'm not sure makes sense.

imo it's fine to go combat items after radiance. Fighting alchemist is usually some combination of solar/blink/SnY/AC/BKB/abyssal. Alc gets radiance so ludicrously quickly that going radi into that stuff is perfectly valid, and a much better choice if you'd get outcarried trying to rat.

BoTs vs treads is probably situational. Sometimes you need the straight-up stats (Miracle went treads in that game), other times being able to TP into any midgame scrap with blink concoction is a big deal.

Most of the time you want QWQ for first three skillpoints on Jugg, not crit.

i think previously mana leak wasnt picked up until lvl 5 or something and we made a fuss about it being good early.

but i dont think skipping chakra magic is the play

IMO W-E-Q then chakra -> illu -> mana leak

theres about zero circumstances where you wouldnt want to have your chakra maxed before anything else

ogre - yes, especially if arcanes are removed

ember - double crit is rarely ever the play. teddy and other players far better than i am have told me this, so i know it to be true. if you REALLY want more dmg, pick up a rapier. if you dont want the risk, double BFury is almost always the play unless you have a specific need for other items and you're low on slots.

realistically u need like lvl 3 chakra to be able to sustain illuminate, and thats not even counting the allies who are gonna be begging u for mana. illuminate isnt even that reliable of a spell in the laning stage and u dont want to be in a situation where ur blasting with lvl 3 illuminate, and then u have no mana for the next minute

right! nor do you want to be blasting a creep wave your carry could be farming.

its only useful for farming jungle stacks and that got a nerf. so you're gonna be low lvl for a while before you can actually do that consistently, better to have the utility in chakra.

Yeah I find Ogre without some sort of mid-battle regen pretty awkward. It makes me not want to use unrefined until I've cast fireblast twice (so I can keep using fireblast through the whole fight), but that's pretty ridiculous since the fireblast-unrefined combo is so strong.

On Jugg and the above Q-W-Q suggestion... is that accurate? The value point in crit helps a lot to zone out offlaners (especially melee ones) without much effort and can setup kills if you get a well timed crit (or just in general with any right click opportunity). If you don't get it at 2 then crit is probably going to do even less at 4 and the correct timing becomes "when you're ready to start clearing the jungle between waves" which is harder to put into a guide (level 7?)

I see healing ward as better if your offlane is pressured, but I'm not sure that it really makes for the overall stronger suggestion especially since crit can help lower skilled players secure a few extra last hits (1 of every 5 last hits attempts that are slightly too early would connect instead with crit).
