🔥7.37b META | The Most Effective Sven Support (5 pos)

Main Items

GUIDE IS CREATED BY >9K MMR PLAYER FOR <9K MMR PLAYERS

Dominating / Defending

You're dominating over opponents team in early game and you need to consolidate it – Drums

Your team is losing on the map and you can't create early kills, on the contrary, you have to defend – Solar Crest

Some games you'll purchase both in case your team leaves no chance to opponents in all aspects: all lines are won, your hero pick is stronger in early/middle game, you always create good fights and the game is going to be end in 20-25 minutes

Magical or physical resists choice + upgrading boots

Getting more magical damage than physical – Pipe of Insight

Getting more physical damage than magical – Aghamin's Shard and Crimson Guard

It doesn't mean you can't purchase both, rely on the type and amount of damage you take (for example, opponents cores deal predominantly physical damage but they have Crystal Maiden in hero pick who can cause great amount of magical)

After aura items – Boots of Bearing

Situational Items

Soul Ring – purchasing in almost every game, no specific sequence, buy when you get problems with mana
P.S. Using Soul Ring doesn't stop HP regen from Tranquil Boots
P.S.S. Tranquil Boots + Soul Ring > Arcane Boots on Sven, remember this

Lotus Orb – against large number control skills

Glimmer Cape – additional counter magical damage shield + save item (if you have no invisible heroes in team only)

Force Staff – save item (good vs root: atos, gleipnir, Meepo, etc.)

Vladmir's Offering – to consolidate domination and buff allied cores

Eul's Scepter – save item (good vs Spirit Breaker, Troll Warlord and vs delayed application stuns and skills: Lich, Dark Willow, Gyrocopter, etc.)

Assault Cuirass – additional counter physical damage armor aura (with strong physical damage core in your team only)

Aura core in team

– In the current patch there are a lot of strong pos 3 heroes who purchase auras (Underlord, Dark Seer, Brewmaster). What should I do?

– Pay attention to what your teammates buy and don't duplicate items, move on with other items. Replace Crimson with Solar Crest, Pipe with Glimmer Cape

Skill Sequence

Gonna do first blood – take Storm Hammer (1st skill) to get more control (in case you have enough control skills in team take Warcry (3rd skill) to speed up teammates

Gonna attack enemies on line – take Warcry (3rd skill)

You're dominating over enemies – reach Storm Hammer max lvl first

Enemies are dominating over you – reach Warcry max lvl first

Take God's Strenght (ultimative skill) only if you're going to push the buildings or you can deal physical damage in fight, in all other cases take Great Cleave (2nd skill) firstly (after 1st and 3rd skills max lvl of course) to have opportunity to farm creeps

Talents

10 lvl – Right (+5s Warcry Duration)

15 lvl – Left (+25% Great Cleave) you'll use God's Strenght less often than even the ability recharges, there is no point in reducing it, much better to take Left to speed up your farm and get items earlier

20 lvl – Left (+8 Warcry Armor)

25 lvl – Left (+1s Storm Hammer Stun Duration)
