The Godlike RIKI Build (All Game Carry)

Uh, ring of regen as a first item both sounds weird and is weird. The regen isn't really enough to help heavy harass and I'd much rather get some +agi or a quelling blade..

And there's a reason why Diffusal blade is so popular on Riki. It's amazing.

Why Mask of Madness?

You're really squishy, let's say, at level six, you activate Mask of Madness and randomly you get a Life Break or a Finger of Death in the face, what then?

Well, it's your choice, but I prefer Mom/Basher/Orb of venom style and it's working pretty well so far.

Didn't i mention smoke 1st? And thus i put bkb in the build.
And don't say "let's say", even without opening MoM, Bs/Lion can take down riki easily if vision given. That's not the point.

I dont recommend Mask of Madness too, i think it sucks on riki but i see a lot of people using it but i prefer a Vlads way better gives the passive to all and armor and LS

Are you sure it's suck on RIKI? And I have mentioned it at my guide which vladmir will not allowed you to approach your enemy, they can saw the vladmir aura.

you do know that activating mom will take off your invis? thats 12 seconds without the only skill that makes riki good. and to top it off it makes you take 30% increased damage on a squishy hero. well done you lose. there is also very little agility items here before late game and the items you take need hero kills to get.

After you activate the mom, you will be visible for 3s for ulti lv1/ 2.5 for ulti lv2 and so on. You aren't visible for 12s unless you attack your enemy, u will be fade follow to your ultimate fade time. You may go and watch the game that I play and see who's gonna lose huh.

Orb of Venom and Lifesteal don't stack.
RoR as starting item is not good at all, because you don't have enough stats and you also need to wait very long to regen when you get harassed low. Since you don't even use it in your build later, it's kind of a waste of money. Add a salve and stats instead of RoR.
The MoM and basher combo isn't optimal, but for pubs it's sufficient. MoM leaves you more vulnarable, so if people stick together this build is worse than simply going Diffusal+Yasha.
Also I don't like that you skip Magic Wand, Poor Mans Shield, etc.

I honestly think getting 9 Tango's at the beginning would be a better use of gold than getting a RoR that early. As mentioned Orb of Venom and LS don't stack, I can't remember how the priority would work, but overall getting Diffusal\Vlad's is a lot better than going MoM\Basher\OoV due to Purge being a better slow (plus a buff removal) and Vlad's actually benefitting the team. MoM might help you really early game if they are super careless, but it just doesn't seem like a worthy investment otherwise considering how squishy Riki is.
