Thank you so much for your feedback. This Guide will be improved soon and add more Build. I think you will be satisfied. ^^.

You drive me think about Daedalus and MKB (Monkey King Bar). Really, sometime MKB is better than Daedalus. But I still like the Daedalus ( just my favour, the enemy will know how is sudden death ^^)

Explain something:
- Daedalus: He still need more crit to kill enemy easy ( for Damge Dealer build ). This way will make Skeleton become a damage dealer hero, who is very serious. The enemies have to focus him first, because he have great damage. This is all of things he want.( as I said his role is die first in combat ). And it is very serious if they do not focus him.
- Battle Fury and Mjollnir for farming and illusions clearance purpose. What do you think if there are too many illusion in combat, I dont know who is fake, who is real hero. And these the hero with illusions (+ diffusal or mana burn) can kill him easy if he don't have Cleave or Chain Lighning.
- Soul Ring alway is his core items. ( sometime he have to bring it during the the whole match ). No Soul Ring, he can't control his mana and die easy.
- Sange and Yasha is very useful for him. With Maim + Hellfire Blast, he can kill some heroes. This item is usualy used for Agi heroes. But sometime, Streng heros can use it. This item + move speed, atk speed, slow enemy, + streng and HP. That is all what Skeleton need.

About the : I understand your reasoning, but then why don't you get a which gives more damage, the mini bash and the true strike ability for less gold? This item still doesn't convince me.

Also, in my opinion if you have to choose between the and the you'll always get the latter unless there's a fed on the enemy team, and I say fed because a , which gives you both damage and attack speed, is more than enough to spot and kill the real one if he has about the same gold of you. does cleave damage on each hit, true, but doesn't give many other benefits for its price unless you use it for farming. I've seen a picking a late against a PL in a recent competitive match, and it didn't turn out well at all.

I still don't like , it works for sure but there are better items in my opinion. The maim is something negligible as you have a Hellfire Blast and a whole team to help you in this, while the movement speed is outclassed by attack damage and DPS, hence why an is preferable in my opinion.

I'll try your build anyway, if it's as good as you say.

Anyway thank you so much for reply. But... let belive me. I play dota along time ago (about 6 years) and about 90% win rate with Skeleton choice. ( in dota 2 I played 20 times, and just about 3 times losing).
This guide have still not completed. And I will try complete asap.

Thank for your comment.

Alright, let's see...

Levelling up Vampiric Aura first is always a bad idea: it gives lifesteal to your lane creeps too, so they will start dying less and less often; this will push your lane a lot and, because you can't farm under the enemy tower, will let you lose a lot of gold.

If you're opting for the , always max out Hellfire Blast! You have a chance to deal 200 damage plus 50 damage over time with no mana cost, and it's a lot better than your Aura because you won't push your lane. Personally I think a SR is not always needed (maybe because I'm used to play in trilanes), but if you're facing a strong enemy lane spending 800 gold and delaying your core items is completely reasonable.

Now, some stuff I thought about while seeing those items:

Sange and Yasha? Really? It's famous because of its inefficiency on any Hero (with some exceptions like Razor and Slark, maybe), and you choose it over an Assault Cuirass or a Black King Bar?
Daedalus? You know that the crit damage doesn't stack, right?
Battle Fury as a late-game item? Players always buy it for farming purposes (which means under 15-20 minutes on Heroes like Phantom Assassin, Anti-Mage and Faceless Void), if you want to deal AoE damage either pick a Mjollnir or team up with Magnus.
I find it weird that you didn't even mention some important core extensions: Black King Bar and Assault Cuirass, as said before, are usually the first items that come to mind after the Armlet of Mordiggian. Of course there are other useful and common things that SK players like to get ( Monkey King Bar, Heart of Tarrasque, Orchid Malevolence...), but they are mostly late-game choices or situationals.
