Author's Item Notes


EARLY GAme

Build this right after wind lace. You can net heal yourself with no mana if you soul ring and then heal after lvl 3 purify
This comes right after soul ring and I normally start ganking around this time. My average for getting phase boots (after wind lace and soul ring) is ~7 min. Goal time (for all up to this): 7-8 min

Core Items

This is your first major benchmark. Build this immediately after phase boots. Don't be afraid to be farm crazy, go to jungle, get all lanes, etc. Goal Time: ~15 min
Easy access in game

Mid Game

Very common item for this build; however, it is sometimes swapped for something else situationally first.
Only useful in games with extreme amounts of magic and spells. I have only bought it twice and only in games with 3+ mega ults (ex: tide, lich, kunk).
This should ALWAYS come after echo sabre immediately. You should shadow blade into them, echo sabre, purify for dmg, then immediately repel yourself. That is your opening combo once you get shadow blade. Works amazing late game on their supports. Goal Time: 21-24 min
Very vital to the build. This should be finished ALWAYS by the time you get the lvl 20 damage talent. I try to get it when I am at lvl 19.5 or so but sometimes I grab it sooner to build my bloodthorn faster. ALWAYS by lvl 20.

Late Game

Another favorite late game item that can be swapped in and out. It is nice for games you need lockdown in like against Weaver, Mirana, or Lycan.
Another very situational. This is built if you cannot seem to slow anyone down or keep up with your prey and or you are looking for some more health as well.

Situational Items

Used in games with extreme early game damage on the other team (preferably against weak or squishy characters).
Only if you are feeling supporty.. ew
I do not recommend buying this until very late game and only if you cannot seem to stay alive in fights. Your real health is from your heal and Effective Health from immunity and ult, so your late game 2.2-2.7k health should be enough.
This is another late game item as a 7 slot or just extra attack speed. It can be paired with just a basher and you can hold down most fast carries.
Obvious. Its here for easy access in game
My bread and butter late game. It silences, gives 100% crit chance, nukes, and gives true shot when active. This cripples everyone from PA to LS. This is how you deal with evasive characters and the mega carry casters like OD and Invoker.

Other Items

You should almost always buy and send this to yourself when you can afford it after brown boots.
You should buy boots immediately once you get 400 gold and send them to yourself.
This is very situational. I have used it in every game against a PL and half of the games vs Meepo with GREAT success. Other than that and its farming bonus and quell, its is not normally useful.
Very situational and if you feel confident with Armlet toggling and gameplay.
One of my preferred late game items, can easily be swapped out with others. This is the best form of dmg and attack speed for Omni in the game I believe. Be sure to be putting its electric shield on yourself. You are the front runner and you will be amazed at its power.
This is one of the best dps and attack speed items for the cost in all of dota. I pick this up early most games, before crystalis most of the time.
