Rikimaru The Stealth Assassin!!!
Riki Is the main invisible character in the whole of dota 2 due to his passive invisibility! This lets him easily farm XP undetected and also easily scout out for enemies.
Riki is mostly a safelane hero. NEVER PUT HIM MID!!!
Ok so... lets play this from the radiant perspective here.
You want to go bot with a hero that does not rely on spells and can hold off a lane on his own.
All you really do with riki is just stay invisible near enemy creeps so that you get the desired xp and go in for last hits if your lane buddy is with you. You do this until you reach level 6 and obtain your ulti... Don't forget that you can always help out your lane buddy if he is being chased or harassed. Also don't forget to go for the runes at around every other ??:45 as this gives you enough time to grap the rune first and without leaving the lane to much and missing out on you xp. I Recommned putting down a ward by the rune just in case there is an enemy hero camping it or it is an invisibility rune CAUSE WHAT THE **** IS THE POINT IN THAT!!!
Phase Boots:
You get these boots if you want to chase down an enemy hero better and also keep on the kill after your ultimate has expired. You can also use these boots as an escape and works just right with your fully upgraded invisibility.
Tranquil Boots:
You get these boots if you are being harassed more and need the extra hp regen and extra movement speed. IF YOU HAVE A NECROPHOS ON YOUR LANE, THESE ARE AN ESSENTIAL AS HIS HEART STOPPER AURA IS ****ING ANNOYING!!!
Boots of Travel:
You never really want to get these boots unless you are the type that likes to quickly jump between lanes, take quick kills around the map or constantly swapping lanes to get mix xp! These boots are also amazing for escape. eg. Enemy uses dust on you. start to top wherever use diffusal and BOOM! your safe and sound!
Power Treads:
These boots are for people less fond of playing riki and need that extra damage, health or mana. If you get these boots it is best to keep them on agility if you want the extra damage or strength if the enemy heroes on you lane deal high burst damage. eg. Lina
Defensive:
You what to go defensive if:
There are high burst damage heroes on the enemy team
You are being countered eg. Gem or sentries.
You get stuck in more in team fights.
Offsensive:
You want to go offensive if:
The enemy heroes have high health pools
You have good supports to heal you
YOU LOVE THE DAMAGE YOU DEAL AHHHAHAA!
THIS ITEM WILL UP YOUR DAMGE FROM BEHIND BY 80 AND YOU GET AN AMAZING ACITVE WITH IT JUST ****ING BUY ONE!!!! if you have the money :D
Anyone with a move that grants true sight is a threat to you. eg. Bounty Hunter, Slardar.
If creeps start attacking you while invisible buy a sentry ward and place it down in the place you are getting attacked so you can see their ward and destroy it.
If someone has a Gem of True Sight make them your main priority. Tell your team to take them out first. Leave a space free in you inventory to pick up the gem as soon as the enemy is dead! Give the gem to the most survivable friendly hero!
In team fights go for the biggest carry and try to take him down as fast as possible then take out the rest of the enemy heroes.
Always deploy your smoke bomb when the team fight occurs and keep the enemies in the radius.
If an enemy hero is running away be the one to chase them down as your ultimate will destroy them!!
