Peppo_o'Paccio's Super in-Depth Competitive Invoker Guide for All Skill Levels

God this is the best guide for invoker +1 from me

Best guide for invoker but plz update it to the latest patch ty

Helped me a lot, learned to play Invoker by this, but after that I quit Dota for some reasons and now back to it again! :) Any updates are held for this guide?

Good job man! Ive played almost 200 games with invo and he is my favorite hero...
I mostly play QE... I think its more fun then QW... I only have 1 question... Does anyone build forcestaff and Blinkdagger? I mean I sometimes like to get it where you need one more escape mechanism. In this case i make aghs right after... What are your thought?
Great guide btw :DD

I was thinking about adding a couple of items (like Blink Dagger in the first build, Rod of Atos in both etc.), but I completely forgot about the Urn, mainly because you don't need the charges and it delays your Orchid when going QW. I'll probably add it, thanks for the heads-up. :D

I would recommend adding the Urn of Shadows into both builds. It triggers Cold Snap because of the 6.82 damage change.

Well, thanks for the compliments! I'm glad you liked it. And yeah, the quiz is kind of hard, but it isn't the only way you can play the Hero: QW is acceptable on #2 and #4 though your team's early killing potential will suffer, and QE on the last one is a bit overkill but isn't the worst thing in the world.

I've read quite a lot guides here so far but now I just created an account to mention, that this is propably the best guide I have ever read here. Very well structured and presented. I am currently practicing Invoker based on this guide and really enjoy reading it over and over again. :)

(Although I don't really get the meaning of the images and the beginning of the "Item Build"-sections x.x)

Edit: I just did the Quiz, and got 4 wrong x.x, but this is also due to the fact that I still have not the feeling for team strategies and evaluation of combined powers.

What the heck does this image mean? It looks like hey build these items first, then have these items, etc, but it's five by seven? There are six slots. If you were telling us to keep a sixth slot open for a teleport scroll okay but your first build is drums, manaboots, some kind of glove not in game, some kind of other glove not in game, some kind of shirt i've never seen before, what the heck? What even the heck?
Why do they all double up after the first column but that tiara is shinier adn that wand isn't glowing? What is this nonsense image? You use it twice, for both builds. What the heck does this image mean? How do you plan for cheese in your build?

Is it just a nonsense pile of items you posted every time you want to tell me what items to build? Why would anyone ever make this image. What the heck is this image for?

one of the best guides for new Invoker players...thanks a lot...really :)

That's true! Thanks for the heads-up.

Great guide brotha, one mistake though on the Quas/Wex build. You can't level up Quas at level 4. You have to take wex at level 4 then Quas at level 5. Then Wex from then onwards. Cheers.
