So, in 6.87 there is so many itens that silencer could build, but i am not sure what to pick and when to pick, also there is not a single silencer guide here in dotafire( just one outdated).
we have Blink, Shadow blade and force staff for mobility, all 3 have been buffed this patch to silencer, not sure which one to pick.
For disable we have Scythe, euls, Athos and Skadi, people tend to build Rod of athos but i am not sure of it, becuase it does not build into anything later on, euls seems good for early tp stop, but has the same issue of athos, Scythe is nerfed and very expensive, Skadi should be the way to go as help silencer in every way but expensive too.
For tankness we have BkB, Skadi, Shivas, Dragon lance and Assault, dont know if is still good picking a dragon lance early on on him, cause now it have agility instead of damage and atack speed, but you can build hurricane pike later on, Shivas seems good but is not the best combination with skadi, you already have slow and power against enemy AS, bkb should be core, but silencer is not weak against stuns and nukes, he have silence after all, people tend to build Assault on him but i think not have the best synergy.
Also there is Orchid/Bloodthorn, which seems to have a good power up to silencer dps but is a bit redundant on him because he already have a silence.
Also his skill build, which one of the skills you guys max first ? i like maxing his Q because it is so good to farm a creep wave, sometimes i max last word if i think i can kill the enemy, glaives i let level 1 until level 12.
So, can you guys help me out and make a nice build on him ?
Null talisman and tango is my early and then I usually go treads into depending on their line up orchid into blink and then usually skadi into assault curi*** and since 6.87 I upgrade the orchid into a bloodthorn and the shivas/scythe/heart/bkb/linkens for survivability
Basically always get skadi as core by about 25-30 mins after u get a ganking item then get some survivability for team fight and some atk speed
What makes you want to play core Silencer in 6.87? OSFrog seems to be encouraging the aghs/refresher Silencer build because Arcane Curse stacks with itself slow and all, but aghs/refresher is not a core silencer build in any way.
Core Silencer lost his old 0/4/4 skill build where you skipped curse, he lost glaives damage even when you take INT amplification into account, and all he gained from the patch is Hurricane Pike. Meh.
Again, before we talk about how to build core Silencer, explain why it's any good in 6.87. Because I really don't think it is. All that's going to happen if that you're going to get rekt mid by 150 base damage Invokers.
The only way to really find out how to build Silencer is by playing him a lot and getting used to the different scenario's. Silencer can be played with many different items and skillbuilds with different roles so there isn't really a answer. It is just looking after what you and your team needs.

I think Force Staff suits him right now and since now you can turn it into Hurricane Pike which is a stupidly amazing item but the buff on Silver Edge is pretty dank too
And have you ever thinking about building a Satanic or Mask of Madness since glaive's not an UAM (Yeah i tried HoTD silencer a couple of weeks ago lmao)
Rod of Atos is pretty popular because it gives so much int for a 3k item and glaives damage depends on your int and it has a dank slow too while Black King Bar is a core on any hero
I dont think euls is a good item on him (or is it just me) i don't think Assault Cuirass is good on him since his glaives are pure damage. You could buy a Moon Shard instead to hit more often or a Scythe for a huge Int and nasty disable or if you want to tank him up skadi is a lot better than AC.
Skill build's. I think it's depend on the enemy line up. If you're up against Spell spammer like Zeus, Bristleback etc probably better to max Q since it punish them badly but most of the time i prefer to max E first then Q and max glaives last
i think Silencer is a more scarier version of Outworld Devourer and worst he steal your int for good and his attack modifier is not a uam (Can OD use Satanic ? NOPE) and did i mention that almost every heroes are countered by silences ? (Which happens to be this guy specialty). But you need a lot of kills in order to steal int which i think is the only downside in comparison of him and OD.
Null talisman and tango is my early and then I usually go treads into depending on their line up orchid into blink and then usually skadi into assault curi*** and since 6.87 I upgrade the orchid into a bloodthorn and the shivas/scythe/heart/bkb/linkens for survivability
