Some call me Crixalis (6.86 patch)

There's a pretty popular cosmetic item which makes the courier a chicken. A lot of dota players call him a chicken actually :)

For E-blade, look at Pirate for example, one of the top SK players on dotabuff

www.dotabuff.com/players/85732420/matches?hero=sand-king

It builds from Ghost Scepter which is great on him for obvious reasons, and it's the only item with Veil of Discord that can significantly increase SK's magic damage output, which makes it a pretty good option.

Kianmir, the courier is often called chicken. It's just Dota slang.

The same way, do not forget all the guides on this site do not necessarily show the correct way of playing a certain hero, but only the opinion of the person that wrote the guide on it. That means that shap here thinks E-Blade is core for whatever reasons, we might not agree, but then instead of saying it is wrong information, which we reserve for those cases where the actual numbers or facts are wrong (which happens to the best, for instance Sando had that problem himself with patch changes).

Not accusing you of being rude nor anything, on the contrary, but a healthy conversation about E-blade being core or not should have arguments for and against, not only "this is wrong cause no one I saw does it" because that limits it a bit.

If you do find a lot of info that is wrong in your opinion why not list it and send it through PM to the guide's author? That will help him improve a lot more.

Btw notice it says core in the guide but on the top item build E-Blade appears as situational. I also already saw it build sometimes :) and the core Blink Aghs is legit, although instead of Aghs there should be Veil of Discord, most people do it on SK nowadays cause it gives more damage and it's a good item to have on your team as well.

As for the guide itself anyway, besides the Veil of Discord that I suggest you consider adding, well done, detailed and interesting.

Cheers!
