The time has arrived for another right-click build on a non-right click hero. This time I will be doing Sando's favorite hero:




Yes, it is high time someone was dumb enough to attempt to make Techies into a right click hero and that someone is me. Now for a quick overview of why I chose to do a right-click Techies.

-Attack range: Techies boast the highest base attack range in the game, meaning that with proper items, they can kite and juke enemies with impunity. Furthermore, suicide squad, attack! means that when someone manages to close that gap on you, (i.e. Chaos Knight, Slark, every other mobility hero) you can blow yourself up, denying them the huge sack of cash that one would receive from ending your GODLIKE killing spree.

-Stat Gains: Techies actually have a pretty solid stat gains for an intelligence hero, with a slightly above average strength gain of 2 and nice int gain of 2.9. The sole problem is that Techies have a dismal agility gain of 1.3, meaning that 6-slot build will have to address his attack speed (his base armor is 5 and he sits around roughly 14 armor when leveled out, so armor is not as pressing of an issue).

-Farming Ability: Techies can farm at pretty good pace, albeit, in a rather unorthodox manner. This is due to the fact that one, Techies can literally one-shot creep waves and two, Techies can farm heroes, though not the way heroes like Huskar or Clinkz can. With help from your team mates, dumb enemies and proper baiting techniques, you can get your items pretty quickly.

-Ez Commends: As you can tell by Sando's passionate, heartfelt post here, everybody loves the Techies and once your teammates see your right click build, they will admire your
pioneering spirit and you will prove a point: the point that you are the most skilled player in the match.


Now that I've covered the kamikaze goblins themselves, it's time to go over the items you'll need in this 6-slot build, which will look something like this:




And as always you'll want to eat this


Now, for an overview of these items and how they work with Techies.

- Blink Dagger allows Techies to use suicide squad, attack! as something other than a pseudo-escape mechanism, and truly makes you into a kamikaze. Furthermore, Blink Dagger is ideal for giving the sluggish Techies some much needed mobility and compliments their attack range nicely, giving them even more kiting ability.

- Eye of Skadi gives you damage, health, mana and stats. Basically everything you could ever need, heck you could even buy 5 of em and have BoTs and you'd be good to go... I think. In addition, the attack modifier makes you an even more obnoxious kiter.

- Mjollnir addresses your attack speed issues by giving you a f**k-ton of it and chain lighting stacks with Eye of Skadi, giving you one more way to clear creep waves and heroes.

- Boots of Travel, 100 extra move speed and global presence, 'nuff said.

- Daedalus is the best damage item in the game. Techies have bad base damage. See how I managed to put two and two together?

- Assault Cuirass this gives you more attack speed and more armor, two things you can never have too much of.


Alright, so you got your items and your Techies, what now? Wait, you don't know?



Simple. Kill everything that moves. Enemy carry low on health? Blink on them and blow yourself up. Enemy Keeper of the Light have a gem and a scepter and is playing minesweeper? Right click that SoB down! Enemy picked Meepo? Give that r[A]t the 'ol right-click/kamikaze cocktail! You know he deserves it.


Hopefully I've educated you all on how you should be playing Techies and don't any of those "7K" MMR folks on Reddit tell you otherwise.

For my next right-click build, it will either be Sand King, Crystal Maiden or Ogre Magi. Until then... GG commend me pls.
