Introduction



hi,

Pros / Cons

Pros

    -very enjoyable
    -easy to play
    -last hit is good
    -always invisible :)
    -assassian
    -kill machine

Cons

    -gem, dust or ward
    -first 5 level is more passive
    -low hp

Items

Power Treads: this is ordinary ordinary. i make it because i love its stats. but we can make other boots.(etc: Phase Boots)
Sange and Yasha: i think that this item is better than Diffusal Blade because of we have low hp and we are slower than others. attributes of sy( movement speed attack speed and hp) are sufficiently.
Vladmir's Offering: I chose this item because we need mana regen and lifesteal. this item enable us all of them. even there are %15 damage.
Skull Basher:during to last game this item can be more useful for kill.
Butterfly:if we have been feeded. no drawbacks
Radiance: why not?

Skills

Smoke Screen: i think that we give for once in fact enough. because silence is enough.

Blink Strike: we should give 4 firstly. because this skill's cd is very long. we can do everything with this skill. we can escape during to ''focus on'' we can kill themm all. but we should decrease its cd.

Backstab: as soon as possible, we should give 4. this is more beneficial for us

Permanent Invisibility: no need to comment. this skill is imba. maybe it is the best ulti in this game.

Creeping / Jungling

during to early game


to begin with, we should try to more last hit. if we can't do this . we must do exercise. because good last hittig is ought for every hero. so we should make Morbid Mask firstly. and than make Power Treads. when we are 6 level. everything is easier for us. we can give last hit easily. our hp doesn't decrease easily because we have morbid mask. but we don't try to

RAMBOLISM

.

during to mid game


we can assassinate easily. we should check jungle. if there are.

Team Work

we should join latest team combat because of we are main target. during to team combat, we should kill intellegent heroes and low hp heroes.


°f you are real pro player, maybe you can tank for our team with riki.
you can blink anyone and immediately you should open smoke. so our team can join combat easily.


on the other hand during to mid game absolutely we should check enemy jungle. Easy deaths of this type will save our work.


If you can see me, you're already dead!

Just kidding, good job on the guide!

Why is diffusal luxury and not core?You arguement with being slow is invalid,you have blink for moving arround.

This is really not a good build for Riki. First of all, backstab is a terrible skill to take at lvl. 1, an argument can be made for blink strike but smoke screen will serve you better 99% of the time. Also you should really max out smoke screen before stats, if only for the fact that the radius grows with levels, as well as the miss chance. It's all right to start with 2 slippers of agility, but I highly recommend building them into a fast poor man's shield, you should never plan on building a wraith band, its just not cost efficient. Its "OK" sometimes if you are having an absolutely terrible game and you aren't going to be able to afford anything else for a long time, but really its a pretty **** item. Also, if you're rushing vlads as a core item(which I'm not a big fan of either btw) please don't get a ring of aquila, they don't stack, it says so right in the tool tip ffs. The only reason I can see you thinking you need it is for the mana regen, which you really shouldn't need unless you're spamming blink for last hits(don't do that btw). Believe me when I say that diffusal blade is not a luxury and should be the first major pick up in your core item set, as stated previously your argument of being too slow is invalid because 1.) you have blink strike, and 2.) diffusal has an ACTIVE SLOW, meaning your target can not and will not get away from you unless you massively **** the bed. As for your reasoning of radiance, I'll tell you why not: because if your opponent is anywhere close to intelligent he will notice the radiance burn immediately and drop a smoke or sentry, so essentially you're for-fitting the element of surprise, Riki's one true advantage. While battle fury is as good item, its not really my style on Riki, reason being if you're going to get it at all it should be your first major pick up to accelerate your farming, thereby delaying your diffusal blade and your agility gain, and we can't have that. Lastly I can only assume that English is your second language, because over all this guide is rather poorly worded, and please don't take that as a direct insult, it's just that grammatical errors on this scale bug the **** out of me.

Bad riki guides are popping up quite bit lately, riki isnt even that good i mean, he kills guys and thats it. i played shadow shaman against a fed riki and soloed their bottom lane wiht no help and won the game.
