Items

some notes about the items:
its very helpful to buy a morbid mask after buying all the starting items,
because drow ranger cant auto heal, the tango and healing salve wont last forever/wont always work as expected. also, its really a big waste of time to just keep running around the map to come back to the shop just to refill your health, when you can do that by just life stealing from creeps/farms.

After the morbid mask, comes the power treads. i have listed the entire recipe so that new players could be able to buy big items part by part instead of buying it at once, because we all know how much money we loose when we get killed by someone. and it gets frustrating.

then, you'll have to aim for helm. which is easy to get since you already have the morbid mask from the recipe.

then comes the shadow blade, which has a very helpful active ability, besides packing good damage and attacking speed, each time you activate it, you become invisible for something like 12 seconds or so. also gives you a speed boost. and its a great thing when being in a combat situation where you are about to die, or surrounded by multiple enemies. cause once you activate it, you can run away quietly and smoothly without dying, most of the time anyway.

also a great distractor, is the manta style, which also packs a lot of stuff from attribute bonuses, damage bonuses, attack speed, and movement speed, its active ability gives an allusion of two more drow rangers moving with you for a limited time, which can also attack enemies and do damage, this is very helpful when trying to run of a near death situation, or overpowering a foe.

and then comes the big items, which as we all know, they pack a hell of a stuff. like the butterfly, (which i listed its recipe too behind it). is a big boost against your enemies.
also the daedalus which gives you tons of damage plus a chance to give a critical hit to your enemies.
and then comes the satanic, that gives you heavy strength (which increases your base damage and health) also, lifesteal of 25%, and in its active ability, you gains 175% lifesteal for 3 seconds.

yeah.. vlads is not an item you build on drow because it only works with melee heroes. Standard is to build an aquila, a yasha, dominator, yasha into manta, daedalus, dominator into satanic.
