my first guide and i'm both drunk a f and lazy
leggo
tb is my fav hero
love winning games with him and telling people to go seek therapy bc they lost to a tb
like the constitution, which, as a proud American, I duly honor and respect from the deepest reaches of my heart, this is an evolving document
ask questions and you will receive
start with tangos, stout shield, qb and 2 gg branches
gg branches are important bc they ensure a Good Game
buy a qb to kill stuff faster and upgrade to a basilius
if the offlaner is really aggressive upgrade to a poor man's shield so you can walk up to the fool and give him some whacks
aquila is the most efficient item for agi carries early on so get that
get drums because the aura extends to your illusions and you need the stats, then get yasha
at this point you decide whether or not to go radiance or manta
if your team can't create any more space and starts to feed go manta
if you're also dealing with silences early on get manta as well
if you're doing decently and haven't fed, nor does it seem likely, go radiance
normally as a safelane tb if you're doing fine you'd get this at 20-21 minutes, which is perfectly normal
here are two games where i show you the magic of radiance on an alt im planning to sell:
http://www.dotabuff.com/matches/1556761970
http://www.dotabuff.com/matches/1555311974
the first one is without radiance and the second one is with radiance
behold the rise in 150 gpm and difference of around 3k in tower damage
also the second game i had around 35 or so CS because tryhards like to go stuff like tusk gyro offlane, including the little kobold midgets on the side camp
this is a game where the roaming mirana played the offlane peru pudge like a fiddle and gave me the chance to rake in the cash money
http://www.dotabuff.com/matches/1557606909
a 300 gpm increase with 11.7k tower damage
what this means is that with radiance my illusion managed to make its way from the jungle to the enemy offlane and mid t2's early
now that you have/do not have radiance and a manta, get a skadi and a bkb
bkb may seem counter-intuitive because it reveals you in the illusions, but on the contrary illus make up 186% of tb's normal damage (60 + 60 + 33 + 33)
this draws away attention from these illus and allows them to do their work
at this point if your team wants you to fight with them you may indulge them as you have a source of cc now and dont die to a lina combo
otherwise move towards a butterfly to increase physical dps
ethereal blade is a very good item on tb even though he does purely physical damage - sunder + e-blade is a instagib to any ape who dares get in your zone because tb has the highest agi growth in the game
if you are seriously worried about an mkb carrier they get this item
next up you can replace radiance with daedalus so your illus can crit and once your bkb charges drop to 5 you can replace it with satanic or heart of tarrasque
ppl whine when i pick this hero in 4.8k mmr bc they think they're so good by spamming storm bloodseeker leshrac and slark
these players can smd
this hero is for those players who play stuff like naga but are alpha as ****
exempla gratia, yours truly
unlike juggernaut you still need a support in the lane to hold your hand for a while though
PROS:
- sick voice(ofc VA is russian)
- mad damage
- instagib some fool with a good sunder
- highest agi gain in the game
- rat doto best doto
CONS:
- bad str gain
- cleave is pretty good against him
- maelstrom/mjollnir too
- if you can't use sunder then this hero sucks
- has 2 "ults" you have to work with
- if your team decides to feed up a storm before 20 min consider yourself screwed
