IV. Item Build

V. Strategy

It’s already a secret how PA save a life in early game and show him self how frightening he is in late game. In past time, where there is no Stifling Dagger, but just Shadow Strike, it’s very very hard to kill in early game. The same thing happen in farming. There is no useful skill that Old PA can do if he faces hard nuker in his lane. But now, everything is changing with Stifling Dagger. Low mana cost, low cooldown, and high cast range. See this screenshot which show how far Snifling Dagger come and hit the target.

There is a time where you need blink strike also to kill creep, don’t worry you’ll not need to cast it everytime,because it cost 50 mana, where Snifling Dagger cost only half of it. Normally, if you faces hard nuker, like Lina, Lion, Zeus, Lich or somebody like them, i suggest only play Snifling Dagger efficiently. They have a bad attack animation, which couldn’t deny their creep even though they see you use Snifling Dagger to farm. One thing that you must remember, GO FOR THE MOST USEFUL ITEM FIRST. Most people always try to get power tread first, but i think there’s no useful things about Tread. Only boost your attack speed, movement speed by 10, and increase 10 stats agi/strr/int. You don’t need that early game, once you know that your item build is wrong, there no time to reach other time. So i suggest this

Level 1 – 6

Start with : (4 vs 4, if 5 vs 5, get Circlet Only)

Farm as best as you can with last hit and Snifling Dagger + Blink Strike.

Get Ring Of Health once you can get that. (875 Gold) Now you can be a little aggressive to Farm and try to kill steal a hero. Don’t worry, your team mate will alow you to do so since you’re late hero. But try to be careful, because most enemy will aim at you once you get a streak. I recommend you to farm all of the time and only go for war if you’re sure you’ll not die or at least get a kill. You must get Battlefury as soon as possible. So after gettng Ring of Health, farm more to get Claymore and BroadSword. I hope you get this once you get back to your base.

You can sell other item that you think it’s not useful anymore. But feel free not to do so. Now you just rush Void Stone (875 Gold) to complete Battlefury. Once it happen, farm is easier, at least in this stage i assume you are in level 10 – 12. Coup De Grace already a dead weapon in this state. If i was not mistaken, you can produce approximately 500 damage critical hits. Remember, even though your attack is great, but your health pool still low, since you are an agility hero. There are two option in this stage, Lifesteal or BKB.

Get lifesteal if you face killer like troll and get Black King Bar if face hard nuker.

So your inventory will be like this.

or

Now it’s depend on you, get Power Tread, rush Monkey King Bar, Hyperstone or Complete Satanic. Your job is easier once this stage completed. But i can’t claim you always win the game with this build, PA has many counter, You can score 9999 critical hits, but Guardian Angel only take 1 damage of it. And You still can’t be saved once Troll permabash you. Even tough i know 28% miss chance is a high moderate chances.
