Naga Siren - Slithice

[ek0]

As discussed in this topic, I think guides by the players can be created.
So I will start posting topics like this one. Every week I will post a new topic with a new hero. Every member can suggest item build, skill build, gameplay... (and other). I will edit the first post with the best suggestions.
The next hero will be Slithice.

Hero introduction
Naga Siren has a handy net that can pin down a target for long durations, but they are still able to attack and cast so it's best not to underestimate them as helpless. This is why Slithice uses Mirror Images to both confuse and outnumber her disabled enemies, each able to consistently land Critical Strikes. The Siren's Song has been known to put to sleep even the greatest of warriors at an instant, from long ranges, and for lengthy durations. This ability allows her to get out of trouble rather easily, or setup her own. It also provides a window of opportunity to take down structures, as sleeping guards have never proven useful.
Background Story
Slithice was always a vagabond among the Naga, roaming beyond the boundaries of the sea in search of new things. During her adventures she met and fell in love with a young Orc training to be a Blademaster. Though he was inexperienced he taught her many Orcish fighting tactics employed by seasoned warriors. During their courtship as she was learning how to make traps from a local raider, a swarm of Scourge came and invaded, and her love was killed before her very eyes. She used her Naga magics to put the evil to sleep and fled, and now gives her all to the Sentinel, in the name of her love.

Item build
Vladmir's Offering - good to have one in the team.
Power Treads or Phase Boots - you will need boots.
Diffusal Blade is your best orb. Gives you agility and mana burn for you and the illusions.
Cranium Basher if Ensnare and Purge don't help you, this will.
Eul's Scepter of Divinity - a very situational item. Works perfectly with Song of the Siren.
Manta Style is a perfect item. Provides more illusions, agility and movespeed.
Assault Cuirass - all in one item.
The Butterfly - classic late game item.

Difusal is good cuz of mass mana burn (more than magina)

[Slavi]

If ur team are having problems with one guy at mass teambattles u can get Euls scepter of divinty. Cyclone + sleep + ilusion, he comes down all are sleeping nicely u just have to net and own him 5v1. Also u can dodge skills with it .

Item build

Decent item with good agility gain aswell as higher damage for you and your images.

  Best item to get survivability via hp gain.

  Linkens Sphere with good stats and nice survivability against single target spells like stun/doom.

  BF is just crap on this hero.
Remember that we want to strengthen our main hero AND our images.
While raw +dmg wont work on illusions and cleave dosent work too
this item combines everything we do NOT want.

It would be nice if u have

and of course...

It would be better to start with first:
1-7 lvl : Get your starting items...Get on your lane...... and try to farm.
8-14 lvl: Overall your role in Midgame:
Gank or farm while always watching the minimap to be able to help your team with a "save song".
15-25 lvl: tick with your team and gank, or 1on1 gank someone if you have warded their woods, there arent many heros that can match with you in 1on1.

[iPlayForFun]

I can't agree with u. First of all if u want good farm u need crit on start, then u dont need butterfly as first item and ofc u don't need boots of travel, and ofc u don't need buriza cuz it is lower chance for ur crit and rly low chance for buriza crit. On first lvl u need ensnare then u make crit for good farm. Mirror image u dont need on start cuz u don't have crit and no items. Slavi told good idea with eul's. I must agree with him.

[Dead_Shoot]

I will agree with Slavi about eul's but I were playing this my tactic and I were owning but didn't Beyond GODLIKE...just try it 

[Slavi]

btw euls + miror around cyclone + manta also hes stuck ^^

[FatalityMk]

Not much to say for this hero, don`t play to many carries. But Diffusal and Manta is a very good and often used choice of items. Vlad is also fantastic for lifesteal.. These items are just enough for Naga to own and they are easy and cheap to build.
About skill build, 2levels of Ilusions and Ensnare and 1 level of Critical until level 6 is nice to have. You never know when that crit will get you a kill as it happend to me so many times

[Resor]

Images are very importand on the first leveles. If you willing to kill some before lvl6 you dont want to risk nuke on you. You cast images and then you can ensnare with your teamate's nuke. Problem apears against heroes with AOE like: axe, lershac, krobelus etc... your images may not die there but clearly shows whitch is real hero.
Images doing 1more importand thing: confusion to the enemy. Sometimes they dont know how to react when battle stats and they are going back giving you chance to ensnare one of them.

@ Dead_Shoot


your skillbuild n item build is horrible...enough said.

[[K.Y.K]AtBoKu]

my item build for naga : pt vlad diff manta fly assault

[rocknrolla]

my item build for naga : pt vlad diff manta fly assault

One item >> naga siren : Ghost scepter.

[T.I.L]

Yeah, with GhostForm you can run out of her net.

DIFFUSAL BLADE IS HER CORE ITEM AND SHOULD NEVER BE IGNORED. Your illusions gain AGI (= dmg) and MANABURN (= dmg)

Yasha is good too, and Manta also, to dodge more spells (and, unlike her illus spells, can be activated while you're silenced, and remove some nasty buffs). And illus + manta + ultis =  rape the base while they cant do anything.

As you cant afford to skip Diffusal, any other orb sux with her. Same as Crystalys/Buriza : you already got criticals.

Raw damage items dont add to your illus damage, and should be avoided (except for Radiance's immolation, but if you can farm Radiance on slith before Radi becomes too weak (=25min max), then you could win that game with any retarded build).

People like to make Vlad on her, I think giving illusions lifesteal is dumb. But whatever, that item is not so bad for its cost. But you should ask someone in your team to make it.

Remember, raw IAS items dont affect your illusions. If you got Hyperstone, people will easily recognize which Slith they have to focus. Then, prefer Phase Boots (or Travel) over Treads, and buy AGI items if you wanna IAS.

Some good late game Naga should have Phase/Yasha/Diffu/Heart.

[^_GaaRa_^]

Ek0, there is a mistake in your post.

From level 11 to level5 (It should say "From level 11 to level 15).
