Naga Siren: Basher + MoM

As said above.

In some of my few matches, I seen heroes carrying basher and mask of madness around, namely Riki, PA and Slark. Once in a while, a Chaos Knight will aso appear. Now I'm wondering whether this build works on naga?

I'm aware of the illusions launching fake bash, by the way

Yeah, usually you wouldn't take Basher because it doesn't stack on one of her specialities, illusions. So in most cases you take items that stacks for all your illusions such as Mana burn on Diffusal.

Never seen MoM on a Naga, she's fairly squishy already, this makes her die faster?

Maybe Hinakurinchi meant using the main naga as the main damage source? Not sure about this though.

Doesn't really make sense to ignore the DPS potential of illusions, and the fake bash issue is a problem (3x more likely to fake bash than real bash).

It could work, but stats/diffusal (both of which carry over to illusions) will always be a better choice.

Though I can't say that MoM/basher is good on riki or PA bc they should be focused to death easily with mask active (and PA probably doesn't have BKB), so getting this on naga doesn't seem that different to me (in that they are all about equally bad, but anything works if you're fed).
