S&Y or Manta Style

Hello Guys,

I’m AKA and today I have brought you guys a similar topic that is ‘S&Y or Manta Style’. As we discussed in earlier post I’ll be focusing on both condition where this choice arrives so let’s start.

For this topic, I will be taking the same hero as before which is Phantom Lancer. Now let’s assume you are playing pl and the enemy heroes have silence, root, disarm etc. which will not allow you to use your spells but in case of root and disarm if you can master the second skill of pl than it is possible to dodge. Now when it comes to silence you cannot dispel it with spells. So, in that case you need a dispel like if your teammate has guardian greaves then it is good if not possible then you need to go for manta style. It is very efficient because your illusion also has your passive skill which is to create illusions.

Now there is also another situation where there is no silence but there is slow and stun which is not good for pl as he is a low health hero which relies on illusion to kill and stay alive in fight. but here is a solution for you that is S&Y. What S&Y does is to reduce the duration of the negative status effect. This is good for you because then you can stay active in fight.

I personally have over 200+ games on pl and I mostly prefer S&Y over manta this is because as the game goes late pl tends to go for heart or satanic which means the effect of heart and satanic increase if you have S&Y because S&Y amplifies health regen and life steal so S&Y is a good item over Manta and one more reason is it is also cheaper than Manta.

So, this is it for S&Y and manta style in other post we will discuss more item selection. Don’t be scared to try both these item and then make your own choice.

Thank you, guys for reading this post and stay tune for more dota 2 related content.

Good Game

Pure Damage

Hello Guys, I’m AKA and today I have brought you guys a new form of damage that is ‘ Pure ’. This post will be very short because the concept of pure damage is very simple. First let us discuss what hero’s and items do pure damage. Heroes like Pudge, Bane, Specter etc. have abilities that does pure damage. There are no such items yet that does pure damage there are some items like MKB which pierce the evasion and deals damage but that is not pure. Let us see with an example how does a pure damage works but first let us compare it with other form of damage. As we know that in damage types like physical and magical there are ways to reduce it buy in pure damage you cannot reduce it. Its means that if a hero ability damage is 300 and it is pure then the damage taken by you is also 300. Yes, there is no magic resistance in it. So, in short there is no way in which you can reduce the effect but you can survive it like making blade mail it will reflect damage in the same way done to ...

Shadow Blade or Glimmer Cape

Hello Guys, I’m AKA and today I have brought you guys a new topic that is ‘ Shadow Blade or Glimmer Cape ’. As we discussed some items are categories based on the roles like carry and support. As we first consider glimmer cape this is something a support player goes so that on ganking him he has something to escape. The good part of glimmer cape is that it cast during channeling which means spells like freezing field, black hole, death ward etc. Some time what happens is enemy hero does not have dust and when you cast your channeling spell that there are chances you might get a kill. So, in this way you can win a team fight. the best part of glimmer cape is that it can be casted on our friends which mean not only you but you can also help your core to escape a fight. Now let’s see shadow blade. As a personal experience I can tell this item is not good for core there are many reasons for it. As it was buffed in the recent patch it is good some hero like tiny, lina, drow ranger, sn...

Status Effect :- Root

Image
Hello Guys, I’m AKA and today I have brought you guys a new status effect which is ‘ Root ’. It is a very simple concept with respect to other status effect we discussed. So, in a root enemy hero cannot move or use any abilities or item that contribute in movement. Root :- So, the above image is just a representation of the of root. Heroes like Meepo, Naga Siren, Oracle etc. have abilities which can root enemy hero. Unlike other status effect in root, you can attack but you cannot move or use abilities that relates to movement of the hero. So, it is a good way of keeping enemy hero in place and attack them. It is very easy to dispel root. Items like BKB, Manta Style, Guardian Greaves etc. can be used to dispel root. It is a good way to initiate a fight let’s take an example of it. Pudge first ability hook is something you need to be very particular so what most of the players do is root an enemy hero and then hook him so that it is a confirm initiation of the fight. Thank you, ...
