Mid Game:Your mid-game starts as soon as you get level 2 Meld, if you followed my skill build. You can start grabbing kills now. Here's a killing how-to: When using Lanaya to kill, patience is of utmost importance. Why? You need to wait until they are in range of your Meld enhanced attack. Pick a lane and push up to the point where you know your opponent will retreat in your direction. In advance, use Meld to render yourself invisible. Estimate the earliest time you can get a shot off with the Meld bonus, turn on Refraction, and watch them die. With BoT, chasing is pretty simple. You may have problems with Wind Walking heroes, so be wary. You will most likely get the kill(unless you get ksed), because of your bonus damage from items you have and the armor loss from your Meld attack. Now, the Double Meld trick. Very simple trick. I've been asked for clarification on this. I'll divide it to steps, I guess. 1. Use Meld near your target, do NOT attack yet. 2. Wait until it is completely refreshed. Do not worry, your current Meld status is still undergoing. 3. Now you can attack your target. Hit them once, hit the Meld again, and you get a good amount of bonus damage. Meld is your priority skill for killing, though you need patience. If you see a tank in the area, you can kill them, but it'll be much easier if you use the Double Meld trick. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- At this point, you should have, minus the Wraith Bands if you sold them: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Also, your item build branches in mid-game, after you attain Butterfly or Buriza. Right now, you need to pick an orb effect that best suits your situation. Ask yourself these questions: 1. Do I wanna go on an all out attack? --Stygian Desolator --This is most popular. 2. Do I need more chasing power? --Eye of Skadi 3. Do I wanna be in-between, and up close and personal? --SnY 4. Am I fighting INT heroes with channel spells? --MKB (Not orb effect. lawl.) Go with whichever suits the battle, and go for the item. Most times, it's SnY. This is a pretty expensive inventory for Lanaya, but Psi Blades will assist you in neutral farming.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Killing with Psionic Trap: To me, the trap limit isn't much of a burden. The trap strategy is pretty easy to understand. If you played Techies, then you know how and where to set traps. For Lanaya, just set them wherever the escape route would be for them. If there is an opening in the forest, set one at its entrance and go chase them. Meld and Refract their butts. Often times, you would just need to set it behind them. Remember, timing is key. If you miss the trigger, then your opponent WILL know what you're doing and be smart and switch to another lane. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Escaping: Wow. No escape item in the item list? Why is that? You're a noob, laelion! With capital 0s! No, not really. If you noticed, Refraction blocks single-target spell damage and physical damage, and Meld is an instant invisibility move. When you know you're gonna die, hit Refraction and run. That's all there is to it. Your only problem is if they carry a Gem of True Sight or they have a slow effect, *ahem* Drow Ranger. Or if their hero name is Leshrac. He'll eat through your protections like a hungry bear in the middle of a lot of fish...you get my point. If you're that anal about escapes, get Lothar's Edge. The Wind Walk can help in killing. Wind Walk into the fray, Meld and stay invisible, then Double Meld+Refraction. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Your mid-game is pretty short, from when you finish level 3 Psionic Trap or level 3 stats. The ending inventory branches, like I said, so depending on the situation, you should have these items. You probably won't finish said items, so just work towards it in late game. Oh, and sell the Wraith Bands, no more use for them. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Stygian build Finish the Desolator recipe in late game. You'll deal insane amounts of damage.
Skadi Build In late game, get the next Ultimate Orb and then the Skadi recipe. You;ll have one or two extra slots when you finish all your items, so fill it with whatever. SnY build You'll have good chasing power and movespeed (over 400, soon to be 420+, I think) with Yasha, and the much-loved Maim. All you need is the recipe. MKB build Yeah, I know. But more damage is always good, right? Get the Quarterstaff and then the MKB recipe. In relation to all the item builds, Radiance is all you need to complete it, and you'll pretty much own the game. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
