Necrophos, The Unkillable Tank (6.84c UPDATE)

yep this build works pretty well....
managed 31 assists in a high skill match with more hero damage than our main carry OD...posting the link to the match
I hate zeus

I'm Scottish :D

Fixed the grieves, ill try and get some replays up of me on necro. I took a break from playing him for a while.
he's not really changed in this patch. Not much to do.

Good guide but a farmed juggernaut would have at least one or two survivability items (not including ultstick) and not just pure damage so that is a bit misleading imo besides that a good alternative to the other builds

It would be great to see some of your videos to see some detailes like do you disassembe arcane boots to buy mana booster or you keep them even with octarine and so on. I found your profile but you did not play recently as necro and any replays are expired. But I see items in your game and you really follow your own guide. But I would really like to see some of your games, and better several, because 1-2 times can be just a luck.

I know this isn't exactly about your guide (which I think is good, btw) but are you Portuguese? :)

And also, where are the Guardian Greaves? Oh wait, you've talked about it, but haven't put it in your items in the top of the guide. I would advise to do it. Anyways, +1

All I bought was tranquils, mekansm and bloodstone. I didn't have an exactly difficult lane, so I had a decent amount of farm.

What all did you build prior? And it could also be that you didn't last hit as often as you could/should have.

Another thing I do for Necro, is I usually go for Arcane boots in the early laning phase, so I can support my carry while in-lane and keep my mana pool filled. I disassemble them once I get the point booster and vitality booster so I can get the soul booster quickly. I never use tranquils on Necro, because I use my sadist to fill my health. The only reason I can see for getting tranquils is the increased movement speed for catching up to escaping heroes.

Great guide! I did instead take ulti at 6, 11, and 16, but other than that I followed it exactly and went 14-0-7. One question, how do you get such a fast bloodstone? I got my boots and mek but then I went straight bloodstone. However, even with 7 kills (at that point) it took me until 28 minutes to get it. Do you have any advice?

I agree, it isn't relevant to the test, but the point I am trying to make is the test is not relevant itself and proves nothing.

Expecting an enemy hero to stay near you and not hurt you is just impractical.Also, it is to be noted that even though necrophos can deal the ridiculous amounts of damage, the time taken to deal it reduces it's effectiveness by a lot since most carries can regenerate that damage taken by the way of lifesteal.

also, on a different note, i have to disagree with your choice of ignoring Aghanim's Scepter.The main reason it is purchased is to disable buyback, something that is so game-breaking it's not even funny.

Just the ability to create a 90 second no-carry team 30 minutes into the game is so unfair that it warrants the purchase of aghs in every possible scenario.



that's enough.
