this hero does everything. top tier game winning hero

2 3 4 role doesn't matter. mana boots blink force then pretty much whatever (necro,sheep,eblade+dagon,gem,etc.).

ive been recently maxing mana burn after impale because cd/damage scale, but then again i was against like wraith kings and ember spirits

pretty sure maxing spike is only when they have a a lot of aoe nukes or your team's far behind maybe. i guess the cd+stun duration can be justified cant really say which is the best skill build

skill shot change on impale really doesnt matter much it's not that hard to hit

[KZZ]

the skill build wwd (the team not the player) uses on this hero is beyond awful

it's like 2-4-1-1 or some vomitous shit

Blame mike

[Sleisel]

i think there was an od on the other team and that was his logic behind it, dunno if i approve though

[ixmike88]

i take responsibility and stand behind this build

go fuck urself

[Jabano]

why don't u like a 3second stun mike

[ixmike88]

i go 2-4-3, mana burn is spammable and is ur only dps spell and carapace stun duration/lvl is better than impales

[KZZ]

i think that build sux a lot but the main issue with nyx is that ppl dont use carapace well

like if a puck throws an orb u carapace and walk into it, blink on top of him, impale dead

u can do this shit to so many heroes like cm/lina/etc who have nukes with long range that require facing, eat the nuke, then force them into u while they're carapce stunned or blink in on them.

people realize the hero's good but there's potential for a lot more

[Ersu]

People who play this hero don't harass before 6 for easy vendetta kills...

[ixmike88]

theres just so much more control with not a level 1 carapace

[Jabano]

i do 4-1-2 -> max manaburn that rox

[KZZ]

i've always jsut gone 4-1-1-1 and decide which to max first based on the heroes ur against

4-0-2-1 as oflane seems good tho i've seen ppl doing that

[Jabano]

I think manaburns too good to skip at lv 4 since it's really hard to kill people alone without it

[Strobe]

does this hero own again yet whats the item build

i tried going tranqs sr over arcanes a couple games when i had a hard lane and it wasnt awful but i still had to have like a stick or an urn in my inventory

i think hes pretty underrated with the change to blink having to take damage from like a patch ago because you can do shit like tank the first hit on a calldown and still blink impale

[FacelessROIDS]

This hero is good as shit now. Offlane with stout two mangos and 1 pack of tangos, 5 passive regen lol.

This hero owns gyro, storm, lesh, lina, basically all the faggy heroes. Also dagon is overrated as fuck on this hero, blink force is way better almost every game.

[KZZ]

i dunno about the mango build. it's alright but i think i'd rather go boots first and jsut get mana boots that much earlier

[kanye]

Im trying to tell my friend that mango is useful beyond aggressive trilanes but only situationally but he refuses to consider that it could be. He also goes four gloves of haste on LD bear because it's "gold efficient" so I guess I shouldn't even try. But am I right?

[Pepper]

lol

[Strobe]

is it just me or does burrow seem like something ud barely ever use even if it didnt require aghs
