Last Warning

Great guide!

I'm wondering, if you want to troll you could go crit, or even shadow blade, what do you think?

Cheers,

Yeah! OD! One of my favorite heroes, but I go with the build where you only put 2 points into astral and then max it out last. Your item build seems pretty standard and the guide is very detailed. Not to mention making multiple builds definitely helps. Although I do Rod of Atos for some quick tankiness and usually sell it when I'm about to get sheep staff, I can see the logic behind your choices. GREAT GUIDE +1

If I started a conversation about why a hero is bad every time I saw a hero that sees little competitive play... well I would be here for quite a while.

I don't understand the early point in stats. OD has great last hitting power base, and gains more from the stats on items. Is it to increase his bulk?

I think a subability that allows OD to come out of his Astral would be good. If it gave an int buff to allies, that would be cool too. If they really wanted to make him cool, his subability for Astral could replace it somewhere, like puck's phase orb.

Î¥eah exactly as you said.OD needs a buff for sure.The easiest way to see if some hero is good is to see if he is picked in competitive.

Right Now OD Needs a Justified Buff...... If Not sooner or later it will be outphased by newer heroes that are coming like ember, phoenix and a lot more..

problem with going astral mode.. is that if you go mid.. your chances of ganking is 0 (zero)
since u dont have any dps build up for that,
secondly your opponent will probably gank since lanning with u is inconvenient then it will make other lanes harder since you only have astral meaning u teleporting on other lanes to help on gank will do no good or just be waste of time.....

what OD needs is a good team that will carry OD throughout the game, until OD can secure items..
as much as possible be invisible throughout the game... which is so hard to do especially when they have invi heroes aka (nerub, bh, clinks, slark)

Last of all.. OD's Ult needs a BUFF..... it barely damages most heroes nowadays because of these updates on maps, they also tweak most of the heroes.. leaving OD in a bad spot for his ULT..

I understand a lot of players will say OD is OP when late.. but normally OD is being carried by his team so that he can get items, not necessarily OD is carrying the game...

If u want to learn OD.. you need to learn to die alot ( LIKE ALOT ALOT) and you will realize that OD is weak right now and needs a buff....

Im a devoted OD player and right now it has become really hard to play OD in high level (20+) in DOTA2....

because of items and buffs that has been added on certains players.
but just keep hoping the will finally BUFF the OD sooner or Later..

+1 nice simple guide.

I can vouch that this works.

I am 100% sure it works on dota 1 I am not sure if it works in dota 2.Just saying .

Just a note on ethereal blade: you can manually cast your orb while in ethereal form. This amplifies your damage by 40% and is absolutely great.
