Magina Anti-Loss guide

I think it doesn't stack with mana burn. I might be mistaken though.

Eye of Skadi passive effect does not stack with Mana Break, That is the main reason why it is essentially 5.5k gold wasted on stats. If you want hp go for Heart of Tarrasque, if you want damage and agility go for Butterfly. Skadi is just not worth the gold spent.

Noob question here but... is skadi a do not use under any circumstance item? Or do you guys think it could be used instead of heart?

I agree with this point, Blink offers a lot more utility than Mana Break at level one. The only scenario I can think of where AM can actually get aggressive and harass opponents in the lane is if they keep positioning themselves really badly, which is quite rare. Usually, it's the AM that gets harassed because that's the most basic lane control technique.

As far as quelling blade goes, it just makes last hitting easier, and builds into battle fury anyway, so it's a good pick up at the start. A set of tangos, a QB and a stout shield is a really good mix of survivability, last hit potential and early game regen. Not to mention the shield can be upgraded to PMS, which is a sweet item for its price.

Lvl 1 Mana Break?
IMO Lvl 1 Blink can help secure rune and escape. However AM can't chase heroes at lvl 1.

Actually, no it doesn't. You can't actually jungle until you have a Battle Fury anyway, and Mana Break only gives damage against ranged creeps and creeps with mana. Those are rare.

Maxing Mana Break is okay, but if you are running Anti-Mage in a defensive trilane as you should be, your opponents won't even be near you anyway.
Maxing Blink is mostly useless, as one blink into the trees is enough to escape a gank.
Maxing Spell Shield is not even close to efficient, as you have very low hp to leverage the spell resistance. It is actually more efficient to take stats.


This is why you go 1-1-1 into stats. It gives you the most survivability, and also more mana to Blink around with, hopefully for a kill on the offlaner. You do, however, want 3-4 levels in Blink to make sure that you farm efficiently once you get your Battle Fury.


Also, Scythe of Vyse is really good, and the tooltip for Blink is bugged on dotafire. If anyone knows a work-around, please PM me. It should show the "Blink" for Anti-Mage, but instead it shows the "Blink" for Queen of Pain.

Why three early points into stats? It results in slower jungle farming.

A little bit of more formatting is needed. AM is an agility hero-he has good armor. I don't think physical damage is THE best counter. IMO finishing manta before basher is better, because illusions burn mana too. I think you can add more content.
Also add Scythe of Vyse to optional-this item is broken.
