Stealth Assassin guide - by _Dead_Shoot_

[Dead_Shoot]

This is one of the worst guides i have ever read. Ur Skillbuild is imho terrible. First spell is in all cases escapespell, like Blink(strike), disable, stun, invis, etc. What do u want with more dmg in an 1 min FB-gank?

Riki is no tank? Ehm, buh.. He has an incredible armorincrease due 2 his agigain. With S&Y and Evasion u r a semitank in lategame. NOT A FULL TANK. (stfu trolls .

The next thing, that fucks me up is: Riki is a Solohero. If u play any hero as a solo hero, u r missing the sense of DOTA. DOTA is TEAMPLAY. Ur Smoke is a very nice AOE-disable -> Perfect in Ganks. U can save ur mates asses with ur Smoke. Riki is carry: It doesnt mean that u r a soloplayer!!!

Why no culling blade? Higher farm.. nothing else 2 add.

2 shields? This reveals u as a noob. But a hard one. Never buy 2 shields, cause just the block of the last picked counts. Shields NEVER stack. EDIT: For the trolls: More precise: If the last picked shield doesnt block, the shield before picked tries 2 block. So the blocked dmg doesnt stack. U get it?

Seriously, read some threads about gamemechanics.

So long, Zerbe

Everyone has his own style...I never failed with this dude.

To whoever said ethereal blade is good, you're an idiot.

You can buy a butterfly with that gold, and it adds way more EHP which is a larger benefit than an escape tool. Anyways, you have an easy blink escape and smoke to escape. YOU HAVE NO FREAKING NUKES TO USE ETHEREAL TO ITS FULL POWER ANYWAYS

You just said that Riki has the most agi. Actually, TB has the highest agi growth and ends up with the most agi in the end without skills and items. Traxex has more agi because of her level 3 ult. Riki only gets extra damage from his agi which is a bonus.

I said you build to riki agillity to have more dmg with third... since you do buterfly and shit.... adding one more eaglhorn with etheral sux?
plus if youve added agi with other items and use etheral blade on enemy what do you think will happen to him.

Hell think he got hit by lions ulti

A hero is played by the style it suits him best not players style.

Would you rather have bfly or ethereal blade

Don't talk if you don't know how to oplay

[X-PLODE]

I'd rather have ghost stick and a band and then make ethereal.
Butterfly is overrated since u usually get nuked to death not dps'd.

Ethereal blade will make you ethereal, so you will take 40% more magic damage. You'll be nuked easier.

And when you calculate the  EHP bfly gives, it definitely gives you more survival.

[V1ndex]

man i said etheral blade after you make buterfly

[theNoobie]

After bfly you should go for manta. It adds way more dps than one silly nuke and it also adds survival.

[V1ndex]

i make it before buterfly...
in start - poor mans shiedl quelling blade
power thread - difusail manta btr ( after mana make vlad if no1 makes) etheral , and last item acording to enemy heroes.

[theNoobie]

The game should end once you have bfly manta diffusal. Ethereal isnt really worth it. Heart would be better for suvivaibility

[V1ndex]

Heart? if you play solo or you (semi tank) become tank, in game which  friends unreliable.
otherwise put some dmg my opinion

[T.I.L]

i tink my opionion will be : make dragon. its 400 damaged and wiht ethreeal blade its 400 damaged + 40% damaged of 400 damaged - i dont no the math but its big damaged.

wiht dragon (red dragon not blue, blue dragon not use for riki) you come from back enemy hit him wiht fogwar and then use erertheal and then use dragon and wait for cold-one and do it again. enemy will left game i promise. if you not belived me i can show you, find me on bnet, name JOJEK

[Mechanik]

Lol, dude blue dragon?? really stop making any suggestion guides, you dont even know the items name.
Dagon on riki is the worst idea ever....

-poor mans shield
-threads
-diffusial
-sange
-butterfly

Those are best items for riki... rest shall be equilled to the others hero skills....
